Project New Dawn

Thursday, February 28, 2008

It started with this ad:

Hey people,
Are you tired of all the lame games that zhihan make us play every week? Come join us for some real bonding fun @ ktv before the madness of uni-life catches up with us~!!

We managed to get 1/4 of our team for the kbox session! (if you prefer the figure, 5 people rather.. haha..) Thank you for coming and to those who have given us moral support.

Venue: Kbox Suntec City
Date: 28/2/08
Time: 2.30pm-7.15pm

Let's look at some pictures taken during KTV:

Victor and Sir Liang singing "笨小孩".

Sir Liang, where's 笨小孩 Victor? (vic, go blame sir liang. he made me change the name.. hehe..)

Ho Ling "友谊客串" singing Hokkian "如果我有一百万".

Ho Ling and our dancing diva Huimin.

Yummy food!

Group picture: 2 hulks and 2 babes

Photos of me are not well taken. So I rather not post them online.. PnP peeps, I've more undisclosed photos and videos of you. Better be nice to me.. hehe..

For detailed description of this KTV session, visit Vicky's blog at http://nobodylikesvicsky.blogspot.com/. And for the result of taking cab at Suntec after KTV session, visit Sir Liang's site at http://readthisonlywhenfree.blogspot.com/. Btw Emogirl, I didn't know you've got a blog?!

Met up with Jackie and others at Haw Par Villa for MINDS (Movement for the Intellectually Disabled of Singapore) family day. They had organised treasure hunt for the participants in the compound.

I was allocated a buddy, Chong Wee. He's a happy-go-lucky guy who has many friends in the school. When we went around Haw Par Villa, many volunteers would stop by to chat with him.

From this event, I know more about how a voluntary organisation, MINDS, reaches out to the underprivilage. Not only do they provide training for the intellectually disabled, they also do regular house visits to understand their backgrounds and possible problems. Some of the volunteers have served the organisation for 12 years. Their dedication in reaching out to underprivilages deserves our respect.

The event ended at 5.30pm. When the participants boarded the bus, I could see the smiles on their faces. This is the reward of volunteerism.

新年快乐！

Happy Chinese New Year, this blog was born today!

Please look forward to seeing

An additional page of introduction to Laos or the school in particular, as well as some basic facts about the trip.
A tagboard
A better template

After it's done, I will invite all the other Project New Dawn members to this blog so everyone can start posting =)

What i will need:

Photos of Laos/the school (Sir Liang, do you have any?)
And i was thinking, perhaps it would be helpful for our P&P team to decide on a few theme colours for the project. For example, orange and green? or black and red? Or any other pair or group of colours which will look nice together.

I think it will be visually more pleasant and memorable if we could have some theme colours for the project. This way, we can standardize the T-shirt, blog template, handbook, banner, and posters, so that everything will fit together and look like they belong to the place =) and over time, we will be able to identify with these theme colours and associate them with our project.

Please let me know what you think of this idea, and if you think it'll work, please also suggest some colours (it would be better to give the exact shade e.g. FFD700 for Gold. you can visit this site for reference! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors)

Meanwhile,

wish all an enjoyable chinese new year! =)

Cheers,
Feng Yi


"LATEST: Congratulations to New Dawners~!! the project was a major success~!!"
We are a group of 22 youths embarking on a youth expedition project to Luang Prabang, Laos from 16 - 31 May 2008. The expedition is jointly organized by the Singapore Buddhist Lodge (SBL) and the NUS Buddhist Society. It aims to fulfill the needs of the students of Muang Kham Primary School. We will be teaching the students basic English, and also engage them in arts and craft sessions after their lessons. In addition, we will be constructing a cement multi-purpose court and pathway to the school. As of April 2008, we are raising funds to help purchase teaching materials, books, and furniture needed for our project. A part of the funds raised will also go to the filming of a documentary in Laos, and help our participants cover a part of their costs. Please support us by making a purchase at our online boutique Walk-In Felicity. For any queries, please contact us at laoyep08@gmail.com.
