caught by reporters.

Interview =.=

1). What prompted you to come up with this event?

Well there was no exact prompt that led me to come up with this event. Rotaract club does some fund raising event every year. Last year, we had ice cream fair at Atrium in July and August. Hence, we follow up and continue with it.

Our Immediate Past Vice President, Ms Chua Xiao Ying had this contact of Mr. Michael Toh and hence we managed to negotiate a reasonable agreement that 20% of the money received would be our fund raised.

2.) Why did you want to raise funds for the tsunami victims?

Well, I hoped that we could raise some funds to help in the repairing of roofs in Khao Lak, Thailand. Rotaract Club is going there from Aug 28 to Sept 10. Khao Lak was affected by the Tsunami and many projects were undergone to rebuild these victim’s lives. Houses were built by the Rotary Clubs by they were unable to withstand the monsoon season. As a result, roofs leak when there is a heavy rain. We have decided to put silicon on the roofs and the funds raised would be used to buy the silicon. Furthermore, we also would like to use any additional funds to fund our Rotaract members if they do not have the financial ability to go for the Thailand trip.

3.) Why sell ice-cream instead of having a collection drive to get old clothes, toys and etc.?

Well, since we had the legacy of having ice cream as a fund raising method since last year, we feel that its nice to continue the same thing.

4.) How are your funds for this event being handled? How much of the money raised will be going towards helping the tsunami victims?

The funds raised will be part of our club fund. This fund would be used to fund any existing projects that we may have. For example, we are to continue our yearly trip to Red Cross Home for the disabled, we would be packing goodie bags for the residents there. The money would be used to buy the toothbrush, toothpaste, towel, etc for the residents.

Anyway, The residents of the Home suffer from various disabilities which include Down Syndrome, cerebral palsy, spastic quadriplegia, muscular dystrophy, epilepsy and other severe physical deformities. This is the only residential Home in Singapore that provides residential care to the severely disabled in Singapore.

Well, if possible, we hope to use 100% of the funds raised to buy the silicon material. Some hopefully can fund our members.

5.) How do you cover your costs of buying the ice-cream?

Well, we do not buy the ice cream. The ice cream was not bought from Wall’s but the Uncle is the owner of the ice creams.

6.) Is your ice-cream sponsored? If so, how did you get your sponsor?

Can I say it is sponsored? We brought in the ice cream seller and he is like selling ice cream for us while he earns slightly lesser money, as 20% goes to us.

7.) What is your targeted amount (funds raised) for this event?

Well, there was no exact target. We hope to raise as much funds as possible. So far, from the treasurer, she said we raised about $80

8.) Are there anymore unusual activities organised by the Rotaract Club coming up?

Unusual? Not really? Hahaha. Actually its all community service. J Our club is embarking on a new project called Project Tutor. We are going to Rotary Family Service Centre @ Rotary Foundation weekly. Every week we teach the primary school children on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6.30pm to 8.30pm. There would be different batches coming in at different timings. Well, this project will start on September 11, 2006.



9.) Also, please provide some background info about the Rotaract Club. A good start would be to tell me what sort of activities you have been organised or have been involved in and why you were involved in/organised them. Also, do provide some info about when the club started, how many members it has and some other info you may like to include about the club.


Rotaract Club is a Rotary club sponsored International Organisation of young people between 18-30 years of age, whose purpose is to provide an opportunity for them to enhance their knowledge and skills that will assist them in their personal development, to address the physical and social needs of their communities and schools, and to promote better relationship between all people worldwide through a framework of friendship and Service.
Rotaract Clubs work under the guidance of their local Rotary Club, and take the combination of the words 'Rotary in Action'

As a Rotaractor, they are given the opportunity to participate in the 4 Avenues (Club Service, Community Service, International Service and Professional Development) to mould yourself as an all-rounder, and as an effective member of the society.

Our club is quite involved in activities to help the relevant organisations. We have some activities we consider yearly – AWWA Mooncake Festival celebration with the low income family, Christmas celebration with Red Cross Home for the disabled.

For this year, we have helped AWWA in their open house, and Rotary Family Service Centre’s 5th Anniversary Carnival.

When i was at jurong east, i realised i left my IC at lib! OMG. i was so damn worried for my ic. It was left in the scanner. Fortunately, it is still there. HENG!!!! hahahahaahhaa. So it was like i had to go back school to claim my ic before i went to work.

i always find myself digging a hole for myself as I always do too many things until i breakdown and then regret. I recently applied for a job at school job portal. I think i should block this site or something like this. Really ah. this website give me a lot of problem.

Flyer distribution - my hand was too itchy and go and press apply. then this time also same.

The company did an interview with me and i think i was about to sell laptops. however, i have to work 2 weekdays and 2 weekends. This is simply so stressful! I mean i have to work. I have no choice. I will DIE like this. if it were to happen. What will happen to my mediacorp job then? So much undue stress. I want to live a simpler life. having too many commitments is very stressful. very traumatic. i am a very responsible person. i hate to disappoint people as i try to get the BEST out of everything - although this is impossible. haix................

I smsed and called the company to revoke the agreement.

i finally appreciate superband(:

Well, these few days have been rather happening, but i think i quite like superband now. i was sitting comfortably in the SBS bus watching the semi finals. nice performances!!! hahaas. but i think some bands should like redo their stuff. The group who sang Ado: jian chi dao di. I think the performance was really very gayish lo. so diaoz 1. the guys slided from from one side to another. haha. so =.=

Then stephanie's song - was very well sang by "Soul". They made the song so mayday (wu yue tian) and the vocalist sang very well!!! cool hahaaha. superband oooooooooooi :)

dots

Then well today i was quite =.= I bought the rice bowl from the sandwich bar and ate it at atrium. Guess what? Edna and Max appeared. Then Edna was like sniggering and all laughy with max.

Edna: why are you alone?

Edna: so are you going home?
Me: no. doing ECD
Max: aiya. put gear 1 this sem la. take things easy.
Me: ....
Edna: so you do with who?
Me: gabe they all lo
Edna: then why never eat with you (so poor thing voice)
Me: ....

Well, i was thinking: was it concern or was it a fake concern? Was it sympathy or was it emphathy? Was is sarcarism?

Well the relevant people should know the answer.

hmpf

well. i am getting sick of nagging at people. and telling people things. i have repeated my new project for upteem times. zzz. so =.= hahas.

then i&e folks are getting worst and worst. got wad stupid new microsoft update as subject line and timetable change or sth like that. LAME! I mean if you want to get people's attention, you need not resort to such lame methods.

Some people are SPAMMERS and they sent 5 emails of the same thing by different people but same subject. wah lau! really very =.=. do you know i have a hard time clearing my email since lotus email is so not user friendly? I hate pressing control and press multiple email n drag it to delete. i like to select the one i wanna delete and press the delete button. haix. life is not good these days.

random thoughts

sometimes. i wonder. why must i put myself so many things to do, stressing me out? Now i am like working for the school so often that i will iding at SSIC / SSIC (ANNEX) during lunch time. Why must i join a club and be in the committee and keep myself so busy? Keeping myself busy is ok. but i wish life moved slower. i always find myself having lots of things to do. The distribution of flyers job was really very stressful for me - waking up in the wee hours ie 6am when i am not a early waker. I find myself feel so cooped and i find going to lectures are getting a waste of time. really! i mean like all the materials are there? I just need to study? LOL. that is what i feel ar. no oftense. I reallised a lot people around me hate my presence or something. am i really very horrible? I think i must review in my attitudes i hold le. its very difficult to explain, but you know that people call you just because of school. am i really that boring? do i give people that i study all the time? I beg to differ. my results have dropped like mad but the people in my class's result are doing better and better. I failed a common test and i will feel sad over it. because of my failure in tt test, my morale was very low and the presentation for tt module was sloppy. i forgot my lines and i did not like erm understand it properly? For a person like me, i don't need to memorise my things if i understand it. i will juz write the main points on the slide/showcard and i will be able to elaborate without much difficulty.

i cannot help being long winded. because i am one! hahas. i am brought up by my mum who loves nagging. haix.

sadly, readers of my blog seldom tag. if you wanna critise me, feel free to add comments or tag. thank you.

tired of living.

Yi Da, you should pick your Zen Friend

You know who we're talking about — the person who always has their head on straight, who can sound reasonable even in the most unreasonable of times, and who makes you calmer just by standing in the same room as you. Whether you've known them all your life or recently met them in yoga class, there's just something about this calming companion that made you realize from the very beginning you wanted them in your life.This highly evolved, kind, caring, and soothing sidekick has a contagiously peaceful presence. Their grounding influence and nurturing heart give you a spiritual boost you don't easily find with others. The two of you share an appreciation for individual expression that makes any time a perfect time to spend together. Ommm!

lol :) internet explorer 7 Beta 3 solved many of the problems!!! :) So happy now... :)
