Today’s meeting was to compile all necessary information and analysis in to our report. We also did our conclusion and executive summary.
The alignment of the report was pretty tedious because the graphs and made it difficult to ensure that the graphs were properly aligned above their respective analysis. We also had to include proper headings for the graphs as well as chart titles for each.
The main aim of today’s meeting is to ensure that our report was in place before the final submission on Friday.

Meeting Twenty One: 9 December 2008
As mentioned in the previous meetings, there were a few changes and extra content that we needed to include in our report. Thus today’s meeting agenda was to ensure that we had made all the changes that Chronos wanted us to do so that we could compile the report as soon as possible before the deadline.
Meeting Twenty: 5 December 2008
We met up with Chronos after school to discuss how our report was coming along. There were still a lot of changes that needs to be made. Chronos also suggested doing cross references between our 3 concepts. We tried to brainstorm ideas in an attempt to cross reference our concepts. However, it was not really successful.
Chronos also mentioned that we needed to provide justification on the rationale behind our 3 concepts. He also mentioned that we needed to change certain heading and sub titles in our project.
Last but not least, he wanted us to deal with our recommendations differently from our analysis. Initially, we did our analysis and recommendations for most of the graphs. But Chronos said that it would be better to separate the recommendations of the 3 concepts from the analysis.

Meeting Nineteen: 4 December 2008
Today’s meeting got us analyzing even more graphs. We realized that we can analyze a few more graphs to ensure that our report is more substantial. This way, we can we can ensure that we can identify the feasibility of our concepts more accurately.
So, we spend most of our time discussing issues of the graphs and we added points to our other team mate’s analysis so we get the best ideas out of everyone.

Meeting Fifteen: 22 November 2008
It is a Saturday so our team dragged ourselves to SMU to meet up for FYP meeting. We needed to complete our data recording as well as compile all our results to a single excel sheet so that we could do up our graphs. We managed to collate all our survey results.
However, we did encounter a few problems while recording the data. Some of the surveyors did not complete our survey. They left out a few questions. Some even did not complete the whole page of questions.
Secondly, they did not understand our survey questions properly. Certain questions require them to rank the options, but they ticked the options instead.

It was quite disappointing for the team as we thought we could have about 150 survey results. However due to the "spoiled" surveys, we only took 120 samples which were done properly.

Meeting Thirteen: 18 November 2008
Event: Home Décor Exhibition
Venue: Singapore Expo
I did not go for this week’s survey collection as I have classes to attend on Tuesdays.
According to my team, they went to Suntec International Convention and Exhibition Centre to conduct survey. However, the conference has not started and the organisers are still doing preparation.
They then headed to Singapore Expo to conduct survey at the exhibition. There, they managed to complete all our samples and we were ready to compile and collate our survey results the next day (Wednesday).

Meeting Eight: 7 October 2008
Today we met up with Chronos to discuss our Survey Questions. Chronos mentioned that there were quite a few changes that we needed to make in order “perfect” our survey questions.
He says that our survey needed relation to our topic. Initially, he questioned us about asking the profile of the surveyors (gender, age, no. of times they attend conferences). We explained to him and he said that as long as we explain and understand the reasons behind the questions it is alright with him.
Chronos mentioned that there are certain questions that we do not need to include as they are pretty redundant and we cannot get analysis out it.
We needed to edit the survey and send him the new survey questions asap as we need to attend upcoming events the following weeks.

Meeting Six: 17 September 2008
During today's meeting, we had to make a few amendments in our Literature Review. Chronos had a look at it and he said the format of our Literature Review is wrong. We needed to include our reason for the data and information that we included in our review. Thus, we needed to add in our purpose in it.
As mentioned, I was assigned to find information about Organic Food. I went to quite a few websites to ensure that the information I got is correct and substantial.
I researched about:
· What is organic food?
· Why is organic food expensive?
· Benefits of organic food
· Farming methods of organic food
· Other alternatives of organic food
I feel that all this information is needed to help me in understand our team green concept better and how it can be used to convince our event participants.
