Oh let the hand of friendship,
Be stretched across the sea,
To bring mankind together,
In one fraternity,
May love and understanding,
Prevail in one and all,
May brother come to sister,
To answer duty's call,
We're faithful Interactors,
Prepared to play our part,
To serve with love and needy,
With understanding heart,
When nations join with nations,
To build a brave new world,
Thus than the heart of children,
Shall sing the song of mirth,
Let not your feet be lagging,
But come and join our throng,
Let's fill this world together,
With friendship happy song!

When? 8-10 December 2006
Where? Universiti Malaya
Who? Keegan and Amanda (Jia Min who was supposed to go had high fever)
How? Taxi
I have a post about this somewhere in my personal blog so since I have already forgotten some bits and pieces about that event, I shall repost it and edit it for this blog: *found it! XP
District 3300 Interact Conference 2006
And so, I attended the conference along with my oh-so-faithful secretary, the sn00b, Keegan Lee Guan Ru. Jia Min was having a fever so she couldn't make it.
Initially, I expected the conference to be terribly boring thx to the awful-looking programme (so many speeches) but I was proven wrong. It was 100x better than expected.
Day 1
Registration was open from 12 to 2 but as usual, I thought that the registration closed at 12 so as usual, I came about half an hour earlier than expected with Keegan. Keegan and I met up in Mid Valley initially and we took a cab there.
We played chess while waiting for the other KL Diraja ppl because we couldn't collect our room keys until they arrived. Those ppl, who live in KL btw, unlike the many other interactors from many other states who could make it early/in time, only arrived at abt one. GAH! >.< After they arrived, we became engrossed in erm... talking. And talking. And more talking. Then, we got into groups of 3 for our rooms. There were 2 colleges, college 1 and college 2. Lucky for us, all of us KL diraja ppl where in the same college: college 1. The guys were in one building and the girls in another. My roommates were SBU's Wong Hui Yat and a Switzerland exchange student named Tina (which she pronounced as Cina). After settling down, we had our ice-breaking session. All of us (about 700 interactors ++ mind you) were divided into 20 groups. Keegan was in the same group as me: Group 1. So we got into our groups for the icebreaking session where we introduced ourselves and did a banana dance and mooned the word MISSISSIPPI with our bottoms. -______- Then, we had tea in the cafeteria where we all got to chat, talk, chat, talk, meet someone new, eat, chat and talk. We were given a briefing in which few ppl paid attention to due to the noise pollution. Then we had dinner. And after that, we had our rest time, well spent with card games (mainly Bluff/Bullshit/Cheat/Nonsense/You *censored liar) and more talking. We also played police and killer. :) At about one (despite saying that our curfew's at 11, rotaractors themselves joined us till 1 a.m. in the cafeteria), we went to our rooms. Marcia and Evon (CBN) as well as Angeline (SAB) crashed into our room. We chatted till 3.00a.m.++ about a lot of things so needless to say, we didn't get much sleep.
Day 2
We woke up at abt 7.00a.m., in my case, 6.45a.m. T-T
Had breakfast and left to Perdanasiswa, all dressed in our respective BOD uniforms. Perdanasiswa is an auditorium. With a stage. And seats. =.="
There, there was the opening ceremony (flags, national anthems, interact songs, mexican waves, victory clap, roll calls...) and then, we listened to 2 talks (first one: interesting, 2nd: sleepworthy). There were so many of us! O.o
The exchange students under the name of rotary were introduced. In total, there were: 2 japanese girls, 2 brazilian girls, 1 brazilian ronaldhino lookalike (who can bloody sing and play the guitar damn well), 1 mexican guy, 2 german guys (elizabeth! just to let you know, one guy was said to be very hot ;)) and Tina. I think thats abt it.
They introduced themselves and told us 'bout their respective countries. The brazilian girl speaks Portugese! She taught us a phrase: Chia Mu (meaning: I love you) ;) Mexican: Ola' meaning hello though most ppl probably know already.
After our teabreak (or was it lunch?), we had a group discussion session. Basically, we had to rank 15 items given from being the most important to the least important whilst lost at sea. The situation was: 1. Our ship caught fire and was sinking.2. We have an inflatable raft with paddles.3. We have 15 items to rank (were not destroyed in fire in ship)
After ranking them (quite funny), we compared our answers to the experts' answers given and we only had one correct. HAHAHA. nobody expected the actual answers to be the answers. Fyi, the most important item when you are lost at sea is a mirror for signaling and the least important is a compass. wahaha. We are never going to survive if we ever do get lost at sea.
Then, we had preparations for our presentation. Each group has to come up with a 1 minute advertisement for a product picked through a lucky draw using a prop given. Our product: socks. Prop: A stuffed duck. Haha. Hence, the advert: Duck Socks. We had a good leader in this guy from VI named Lylia whom we call Lydia who's very experienced (this was his 3rd conference apparently)
Anyways, we had a special dinner that night in our cafeteria. After that, we were back to Perdanasiswa for the presentations. It was really grand, like those concerts you watch on TV. There were 2 judges for the advertisement competition and they were quite direct and critical. They had to give their comments after each performance while the leader had to stand on stg.
We sat according to our groups so we interacted a lot and exchanged numbers.
My group's performance was quite diff. than the others cuz we did our cheer at the beginning (banana dance) cuz we didn't know we were supposed to go straight to commercial and it was part of our commercial anyways. Everyone was over semangat-ed thx to our hyper leader and I think we did ok. XP At least we didn't feel too awkward or embarrassed and didn't care anyway.
The other groups were good. There were products like tissue paper, shampoo, detergent, pepper spray... I dun think anyone had a stg fright!! haha! all so extreme :P. A lot of ah kuas. One of them won best actor. hahaha! My god! He really did well and his legs... so smooth. XP
In the end, Group 8 got champ (Marcia's group. Her one-liner: Yeah, man) Haha!
After 10 performances, the brazilian played on his guitar and sang brazilian songs.
THAT WAS FANTABULOUSLY MARVELOUSLY GOOOOOD!
That guy can really sing. Everyone shouted till they were hoarse. More mexican waves. A few I love yous. XP I like the 3rd song which was Spanish. La Mamba i think. Quite famous. His first song was very nice too though i dunno the title T-T
After all 20 performances, there was a band. Name: Japanz i think. Or something which sounds like that. Initially, Kevin (SJI) and I thought that they would be terrible cuz before we went in the auditorium, we heard some awful-sounding singing. We were dead wrong. They were FANTASTICALLY BRILLIANTLY AMAZINGLY SURPRISINGLY MAGNIFICENTLY ASTOUNDINGLY WONDERFUL!
They sang: Kau Ilhamku, a Faye Wong song, Mungkin Nanti <3, and Can't Take My Eyes Off You. A lot of us sang along with them for all songs (except maybe the Faye Wong one). Kau Ilhamku had a rocky edge starting from the middle. The guitarist was good. After they finished, we all demanded for more and we got more! 4 Non Blonde's What's Going On!!!! haha! Keegan and I sang along to this one for it brings 'special' memories. ;) After that, winners were announced and we headed back to our dorms. So sleepy. During supper, we chatted a bit. Then, headed to bathe and sleep.
Day 3
Farewell day.
At Perdanasiswa, we had 2 talks (not very boring... but Keegan and I now despise the word: nationbuilding). There's one guy which sounds a lot like Willy Wonka!!!!!!!! That's just freaky! O.o
We had a business game as well (involving some maths). We got into groups of 6-10 for this and KL Diraja was one of the 3 winners!! XP they made me go on stg for the 'final rd' where I had to (along with 2 other reps) trace the figure '6' with my right finger while rotating my right leg in clockwise direction. Haha. So weird. You try :P
In the end, everyone was a winner. =.="
Then, we had the closing ceremony. Speeches, sad songs (When will I see you again? (sappy lyrics)) We had plenty of hugs. handshakes. goodbyes. take cares. see you i hopes... So nice. More mexican waves. Shouts. Cheers. Claps.
It was very nice.
There were party streamers (Those cylinder stuff. you press something and streamers go pop) and all that. some were crying. They formed a long chain (like a train) and marched around the auditorium. They had weird dances. Sang random songs. Haha! VI even did a hakka dance at the exit.
Made a lot a lot of new friends all over Malaysia. Penang, Perak, Kedah, Selangor, Seremban/N9, Kuantan and Kuala Terengganu.
Overall, it was a brilliantly great experience. The only regret I had was not bringing a camera. :/ but am going to go hunt for pics from the other interactors. XP
Memorable bits: (mainly for those who went. sorry.)
1. Keegan scared his roommates (Joseph Cheong (SHS) and Alex Cheah (SBU)) with his erm.. horny side.
2. Alex looked cute as a girl XP
3. Kevin (SJI) to Marcia the Martian (CBN): I want to make your babies! <=dialog copyrighted to Keegan Lee.
4. See Jing Hang? Use pepper spray!
5. Keegan to Joseph(SHS): These days have been simply MAGICAL. ;) *shudders
6. Jun Ian, the tap-dancing penguin!
7. Angeline's new record in 'the number of hours chatting with a stranger within 24 hrs': 7 hours. XP try beating that!
8. So anyways, for the conference, KL Diraja consisted of:Keegan, me (SSG), Marcia, Adina, Evon (CBN), Angeline, Win Nie, Mun Fong (SAB), Chihuahua, Kevin, Peng Mun (SJI), Alex, Hui Yat (SBU), Jing Hang, Jun Ian (WMS) and Joseph (SHS).

Past Activities
Installation Day
We had our Installation Day last year. Here are the details:
Date: 28 October 2006
Time: 10.00-2.00p.m.
Venue: SSG School Hall
Theme: Carpe Diem
It was a joint Installation Day with SMK Aminuddin Baki and of course, Sekolah Sri Garden's Youthact Club. It was a rather fun event for we had installation movies to introduce each and every one of our board members. The event went very smoothly with full cooperation from all parties. There were plenty of interesting performances such as a dance and a drama for SAB's interact club, a traditional Japanese dance which involved even the audience by SSG's interact club, a movie entitled: Memoirs of a Geisha by the previous batch of directors from the SSG Interact Club and many more which I can't really remember. Perhaps we should post that movie up on Youtube. Hmmm...
There were interesting games involving members of other schools as well. Speaking of which, the turnout was rather good thanks to everyone's support. :-) Hopefully, our IU Day, which is coming soon, will be as successful.
Trip to Rumah Sayangan Orphanage
Here's an old report I dug out of nowhere:
Sayang the Orphans
23 August 2006, Kuala Lumpur- It was a bright wednesday morning when 10 interactors from Sekolah Sri Garden set out to Taman Billion, Cheras for a good cause: to visit the orphans in Rumah Sayangan. The good Samaritans are *drumrolls Keegan Lee, Lee Jia Min, Lee Chee June, Hiew Yen Wei, Tan Ze Yen, Ken Chong, Oh Yin Lin, June Chan, Elizabeth Wong and *cough cough, the president.
The great teacher advisor who accompanied these thoughtful students is Puan Raja, the one and only. She was thoughtful enough to offer dried sotong and fish which she bought from Lumut to her fellow charges. All hail the royal one!
The school van arrived at the venue at about 10a.m. Unfortunately, the owner was not around (joy!). However, her assistant, Mr. Edward was there. Despite the seemingly cold welcome from the home operators(I'm not sure if they liked us very much or perhaps they were just busy), the welcome we received from the kids was very very warm. :)
We started off with an ice-breaking session. fter that, we taught them how to make paper cranes which were stuffed into a lovely glass bottle. ur agenda was supposed to end with the origami-making session, but we had one hour more to kill.
So, we taught them how to play Police and Killer. Surprisingly, they actually enjoyed it. O.o
It actually got more fun towards the end. If only we could have begun earlier. Anyways, we sentenced the losing parties to a brief humiliation. We witnessed June dance the macarina. We failed in our bid to frame Yin Lin and Chee June for murder. We witnessed Keegan crying like a baby, and we found out that the kids in Rumah Sayangan are a big fan of High School Musical- oh and they can sing too ;).
As I mentioned earlier, the kids were really really adorable! There's this boy Joshua, who stuck to June and liked sitting on her lap. :P And then there's Esther , Vivien and Cindy who kept hugging me and called me mummy! O.O
There were other volunteers there on that day. There was one group of people who gave them haircuts. Another group of volunteers (three actually) gave them tuition. Apparently, they rotate tutoring them every two weeks. That sounds like a very worthwhile thing to do. Hmmm...
The trip ended with more hugs, plenty and I mean, PLENTY of goodbyes and a huge group picture. :) Joshua actually cried and refused to let June and the others go. I only remember plenty of hugging. =.="
Overall, it was a great and enjoyable experience and I think so of us are already thinking of visiting them again someday.
Trip to Beryl's and KLCC
When? Towards the end of last year
Where? Beryl's and KLCC(KL Chocolate Centre), Imbi
Who? Not many of us
How? School Van
Yes, we, the Interact Club of SSG went on a trip to these chocolate centres to:
1. Spend time. We had nothing better to do after the exams.
2. Relax and learn more about chocolates.
3. Eat chocolates.
4. Eat more chocolates.
5. Buy chocolates to eat more at home.
First, we went to KLCC (a lot of them thought that we were really going to KLCC =.=). There, we were given a very very short and lousy tour where they showed us the fake durian fruit and cocoa leaves. Then, we were allowed to roam the centre and test some chocolates. That's the best part. XP the cuppachinno bean chocolate was REALLY REALLY GOOOOD! It was a hit! The frozen strawberry fruit chocolate in which realy frozen strawberries were used coated with chocolate was good too. Then there were the durian chocolates (Real durian fruit) and weird stuff like the sesame peanut butter chocolate, and some other weird stuff I cannot remember. Oh, there's this curry chocolate which we didn't get to try. :/
Next, we went to Beryl's which had a fake cow at the entrance. There, someone was actually nice enough to explain and demonstrate how chocolates are made. We even saw the machines and bagaikan rusa masuk kampung, we kept asking if everything's real. =.= "Yes, everything here is all real," said the person explaining exasperatedly for the 4354687242 time.
Then, we got to eat more chocolates. The chocolates in Beryl's are cheaper and they taste good too. We managed to trick Jia Min (who can't stand even a bit of spicy-ness) into eating this chilli chocolate which looked like dark chocolate. You should have seen her reaction. XP The workers looked so worried for they were afraid that we would polish everything. XP muahaha. I recommend the tiramisu chocolate, the mint dark chocolate, THE DARK CHOCOLATE (i like dark chocolate. Sorry! XP) and according to chee june, the green tea chocolate (though I don't like it). They have durian chocolates as well. Try the chilli!
XP Overall, it was a very 'fulfilling' experience and we ended up spending a lot on chocolates we wouldn't be able to finish anyway. Note: Keegan still has 3/4 packet of mint dark chocolates now. Note to keegan: sharing is caring. :)
Doughnuts Sale
When? Some week in February
Where? School Compound
Who? Who else but us?
How? Ask our Funding Director.
Yes, we sold Dunkin Doughnuts to our fellow friends and they sold like hot cakes! This is probably because our canteen forgot to order food at that time =.=. Still! It was a great experience and the aroma of the doughnuts! Oh, so tempting! However, I guess we got sick of doughnuts after the first week. Ugh.. no more doughnuts please! >.< Donation for Flood Victims and Trip to Johor
When? 7 February 2007 (trip)
Where? Muar and Batu Pahat.
Who? Miss Khoo, Audrey Chong, Keegan Lee, June Chan, Hannah Merican, a few Youthactors
How? Trip by school van
This is our biggest comm. serve project so far but I did not go for the trip so I shall make this brief. On the first week of February, our Interact Club was given the honour of collection donations in aid of the flood victims in Johor. We went around to all secondary classrooms to appeal for donations for one whole week. The students were quite generous and supportive. Therefore, we managed to collect about RM 10000++.
We were in charge of collecting, counting and handing over the money to the school which then prepared three mock cheques to be given to three schools identified. I regret to say that I do not remember the names of those schools but I shall refer to those who went and update a.s.a.p. I do know that there was one chinese school, one tamil school and one national school though. They also visited the homes of several badly affected families and gave them donations as well.
They managed to interact a little with students from two schools but not with the last school they went for school had already ended when they arrived there.Apparently, the food there was very good (there was one school which served them lunch). However, Miss Khoo suffered from diarrheoa from drinking water from this jar which even Mr. Rama, another teacher who accompanied the students, dared not touch. According to June, the bumpy ride on the school van which was their mode of transport, felt as though they were riding on the Osim I-gallop. O.o
All this discomfort was worth it though for despite feeling tired at the end of the day, they claimed that it was a very eye-opening experience. See what we do for the sake of service above self? XPshall post some pictures soon. Enjoy... XP

Interact District Conference 2006
Written on: Saturday, February 24, 2007 Time: 3:38 AM Comments:

When? 8-10 December 2006
Where? Universiti Malaya
Who? Keegan and Amanda (Jia Min who was supposed to go had high fever)
How? Taxi
I have a post about this somewhere in my personal blog so since I have already forgotten some bits and pieces about that event, I shall repost it and edit it for this blog: *found it! XP
District 3300 Interact Conference 2006
And so, I attended the conference along with my oh-so-faithful secretary, the sn00b, Keegan Lee Guan Ru. Jia Min was having a fever so she couldn't make it.
Initially, I expected the conference to be terribly boring thx to the awful-looking programme (so many speeches) but I was proven wrong. It was 100x better than expected.
Day 1
Registration was open from 12 to 2 but as usual, I thought that the registration closed at 12 so as usual, I came about half an hour earlier than expected with Keegan. Keegan and I met up in Mid Valley initially and we took a cab there.
We played chess while waiting for the other KL Diraja ppl because we couldn't collect our room keys until they arrived. Those ppl, who live in KL btw, unlike the many other interactors from many other states who could make it early/in time, only arrived at abt one. GAH! >.< After they arrived, we became engrossed in erm... talking. And talking. And more talking. Then, we got into groups of 3 for our rooms. There were 2 colleges, college 1 and college 2. Lucky for us, all of us KL diraja ppl where in the same college: college 1. The guys were in one building and the girls in another. My roommates were SBU's Wong Hui Yat and a Switzerland exchange student named Tina (which she pronounced as Cina). After settling down, we had our ice-breaking session. All of us (about 700 interactors ++ mind you) were divided into 20 groups. Keegan was in the same group as me: Group 1. So we got into our groups for the icebreaking session where we introduced ourselves and did a banana dance and mooned the word MISSISSIPPI with our bottoms. -______- Then, we had tea in the cafeteria where we all got to chat, talk, chat, talk, meet someone new, eat, chat and talk. We were given a briefing in which few ppl paid attention to due to the noise pollution. Then we had dinner. And after that, we had our rest time, well spent with card games (mainly Bluff/Bullshit/Cheat/Nonsense/You *censored liar) and more talking. We also played police and killer. :) At about one (despite saying that our curfew's at 11, rotaractors themselves joined us till 1 a.m. in the cafeteria), we went to our rooms. Marcia and Evon (CBN) as well as Angeline (SAB) crashed into our room. We chatted till 3.00a.m.++ about a lot of things so needless to say, we didn't get much sleep.
Day 2
We woke up at abt 7.00a.m., in my case, 6.45a.m. T-T
Had breakfast and left to Perdanasiswa, all dressed in our respective BOD uniforms. Perdanasiswa is an auditorium. With a stage. And seats. =.="
There, there was the opening ceremony (flags, national anthems, interact songs, mexican waves, victory clap, roll calls...) and then, we listened to 2 talks (first one: interesting, 2nd: sleepworthy). There were so many of us! O.o
The exchange students under the name of rotary were introduced. In total, there were: 2 japanese girls, 2 brazilian girls, 1 brazilian ronaldhino lookalike (who can bloody sing and play the guitar damn well), 1 mexican guy, 2 german guys (elizabeth! just to let you know, one guy was said to be very hot ;)) and Tina. I think thats abt it.
They introduced themselves and told us 'bout their respective countries. The brazilian girl speaks Portugese! She taught us a phrase: Chia Mu (meaning: I love you) ;) Mexican: Ola' meaning hello though most ppl probably know already.
After our teabreak (or was it lunch?), we had a group discussion session. Basically, we had to rank 15 items given from being the most important to the least important whilst lost at sea. The situation was: 1. Our ship caught fire and was sinking.2. We have an inflatable raft with paddles.3. We have 15 items to rank (were not destroyed in fire in ship)
After ranking them (quite funny), we compared our answers to the experts' answers given and we only had one correct. HAHAHA. nobody expected the actual answers to be the answers. Fyi, the most important item when you are lost at sea is a mirror for signaling and the least important is a compass. wahaha. We are never going to survive if we ever do get lost at sea.
Then, we had preparations for our presentation. Each group has to come up with a 1 minute advertisement for a product picked through a lucky draw using a prop given. Our product: socks. Prop: A stuffed duck. Haha. Hence, the advert: Duck Socks. We had a good leader in this guy from VI named Lylia whom we call Lydia who's very experienced (this was his 3rd conference apparently)
Anyways, we had a special dinner that night in our cafeteria. After that, we were back to Perdanasiswa for the presentations. It was really grand, like those concerts you watch on TV. There were 2 judges for the advertisement competition and they were quite direct and critical. They had to give their comments after each performance while the leader had to stand on stg.
We sat according to our groups so we interacted a lot and exchanged numbers.
My group's performance was quite diff. than the others cuz we did our cheer at the beginning (banana dance) cuz we didn't know we were supposed to go straight to commercial and it was part of our commercial anyways. Everyone was over semangat-ed thx to our hyper leader and I think we did ok. XP At least we didn't feel too awkward or embarrassed and didn't care anyway.
The other groups were good. There were products like tissue paper, shampoo, detergent, pepper spray... I dun think anyone had a stg fright!! haha! all so extreme :P. A lot of ah kuas. One of them won best actor. hahaha! My god! He really did well and his legs... so smooth. XP
In the end, Group 8 got champ (Marcia's group. Her one-liner: Yeah, man) Haha!
After 10 performances, the brazilian played on his guitar and sang brazilian songs.
THAT WAS FANTABULOUSLY MARVELOUSLY GOOOOOD!
That guy can really sing. Everyone shouted till they were hoarse. More mexican waves. A few I love yous. XP I like the 3rd song which was Spanish. La Mamba i think. Quite famous. His first song was very nice too though i dunno the title T-T
After all 20 performances, there was a band. Name: Japanz i think. Or something which sounds like that. Initially, Kevin (SJI) and I thought that they would be terrible cuz before we went in the auditorium, we heard some awful-sounding singing. We were dead wrong. They were FANTASTICALLY BRILLIANTLY AMAZINGLY SURPRISINGLY MAGNIFICENTLY ASTOUNDINGLY WONDERFUL!
They sang: Kau Ilhamku, a Faye Wong song, Mungkin Nanti <3, and Can't Take My Eyes Off You. A lot of us sang along with them for all songs (except maybe the Faye Wong one). Kau Ilhamku had a rocky edge starting from the middle. The guitarist was good. After they finished, we all demanded for more and we got more! 4 Non Blonde's What's Going On!!!! haha! Keegan and I sang along to this one for it brings 'special' memories. ;) After that, winners were announced and we headed back to our dorms. So sleepy. During supper, we chatted a bit. Then, headed to bathe and sleep.
Day 3
Farewell day.
At Perdanasiswa, we had 2 talks (not very boring... but Keegan and I now despise the word: nationbuilding). There's one guy which sounds a lot like Willy Wonka!!!!!!!! That's just freaky! O.o
We had a business game as well (involving some maths). We got into groups of 6-10 for this and KL Diraja was one of the 3 winners!! XP they made me go on stg for the 'final rd' where I had to (along with 2 other reps) trace the figure '6' with my right finger while rotating my right leg in clockwise direction. Haha. So weird. You try :P
In the end, everyone was a winner. =.="
Then, we had the closing ceremony. Speeches, sad songs (When will I see you again? (sappy lyrics)) We had plenty of hugs. handshakes. goodbyes. take cares. see you i hopes... So nice. More mexican waves. Shouts. Cheers. Claps.
It was very nice.
There were party streamers (Those cylinder stuff. you press something and streamers go pop) and all that. some were crying. They formed a long chain (like a train) and marched around the auditorium. They had weird dances. Sang random songs. Haha! VI even did a hakka dance at the exit.
Made a lot a lot of new friends all over Malaysia. Penang, Perak, Kedah, Selangor, Seremban/N9, Kuantan and Kuala Terengganu.
Overall, it was a brilliantly great experience. The only regret I had was not bringing a camera. :/ but am going to go hunt for pics from the other interactors. XP
Memorable bits: (mainly for those who went. sorry.)
1. Keegan scared his roommates (Joseph Cheong (SHS) and Alex Cheah (SBU)) with his erm.. horny side.
2. Alex looked cute as a girl XP
3. Kevin (SJI) to Marcia the Martian (CBN): I want to make your babies! <=dialog copyrighted to Keegan Lee.
4. See Jing Hang? Use pepper spray!
5. Keegan to Joseph(SHS): These days have been simply MAGICAL. ;) *shudders
6. Jun Ian, the tap-dancing penguin!
7. Angeline's new record in 'the number of hours chatting with a stranger within 24 hrs': 7 hours. XP try beating that!
8. So anyways, for the conference, KL Diraja consisted of:Keegan, me (SSG), Marcia, Adina, Evon (CBN), Angeline, Win Nie, Mun Fong (SAB), Chihuahua, Kevin, Peng Mun (SJI), Alex, Hui Yat (SBU), Jing Hang, Jun Ian (WMS) and Joseph (SHS).

Past Activities
Installation Day
We had our Installation Day last year. Here are the details:
Date: 28 October 2006
Time: 10.00-2.00p.m.
Venue: SSG School Hall
Theme: Carpe Diem
It was a joint Installation Day with SMK Aminuddin Baki and of course, Sekolah Sri Garden's Youthact Club. It was a rather fun event for we had installation movies to introduce each and every one of our board members. The event went very smoothly with full cooperation from all parties. There were plenty of interesting performances such as a dance and a drama for SAB's interact club, a traditional Japanese dance which involved even the audience by SSG's interact club, a movie entitled: Memoirs of a Geisha by the previous batch of directors from the SSG Interact Club and many more which I can't really remember. Perhaps we should post that movie up on Youtube. Hmmm...
There were interesting games involving members of other schools as well. Speaking of which, the turnout was rather good thanks to everyone's support. :-) Hopefully, our IU Day, which is coming soon, will be as successful.
Trip to Rumah Sayangan Orphanage
Here's an old report I dug out of nowhere:
Sayang the Orphans
23 August 2006, Kuala Lumpur- It was a bright wednesday morning when 10 interactors from Sekolah Sri Garden set out to Taman Billion, Cheras for a good cause: to visit the orphans in Rumah Sayangan. The good Samaritans are *drumrolls Keegan Lee, Lee Jia Min, Lee Chee June, Hiew Yen Wei, Tan Ze Yen, Ken Chong, Oh Yin Lin, June Chan, Elizabeth Wong and *cough cough, the president.
The great teacher advisor who accompanied these thoughtful students is Puan Raja, the one and only. She was thoughtful enough to offer dried sotong and fish which she bought from Lumut to her fellow charges. All hail the royal one!
The school van arrived at the venue at about 10a.m. Unfortunately, the owner was not around (joy!). However, her assistant, Mr. Edward was there. Despite the seemingly cold welcome from the home operators(I'm not sure if they liked us very much or perhaps they were just busy), the welcome we received from the kids was very very warm. :)
We started off with an ice-breaking session. fter that, we taught them how to make paper cranes which were stuffed into a lovely glass bottle. ur agenda was supposed to end with the origami-making session, but we had one hour more to kill.
So, we taught them how to play Police and Killer. Surprisingly, they actually enjoyed it. O.o
It actually got more fun towards the end. If only we could have begun earlier. Anyways, we sentenced the losing parties to a brief humiliation. We witnessed June dance the macarina. We failed in our bid to frame Yin Lin and Chee June for murder. We witnessed Keegan crying like a baby, and we found out that the kids in Rumah Sayangan are a big fan of High School Musical- oh and they can sing too ;).
As I mentioned earlier, the kids were really really adorable! There's this boy Joshua, who stuck to June and liked sitting on her lap. :P And then there's Esther , Vivien and Cindy who kept hugging me and called me mummy! O.O
There were other volunteers there on that day. There was one group of people who gave them haircuts. Another group of volunteers (three actually) gave them tuition. Apparently, they rotate tutoring them every two weeks. That sounds like a very worthwhile thing to do. Hmmm...
The trip ended with more hugs, plenty and I mean, PLENTY of goodbyes and a huge group picture. :) Joshua actually cried and refused to let June and the others go. I only remember plenty of hugging. =.="
Overall, it was a great and enjoyable experience and I think so of us are already thinking of visiting them again someday.
Trip to Beryl's and KLCC
When? Towards the end of last year
Where? Beryl's and KLCC(KL Chocolate Centre), Imbi
Who? Not many of us
How? School Van
Yes, we, the Interact Club of SSG went on a trip to these chocolate centres to:
1. Spend time. We had nothing better to do after the exams.
2. Relax and learn more about chocolates.
3. Eat chocolates.
4. Eat more chocolates.
5. Buy chocolates to eat more at home.
First, we went to KLCC (a lot of them thought that we were really going to KLCC =.=). There, we were given a very very short and lousy tour where they showed us the fake durian fruit and cocoa leaves. Then, we were allowed to roam the centre and test some chocolates. That's the best part. XP the cuppachinno bean chocolate was REALLY REALLY GOOOOD! It was a hit! The frozen strawberry fruit chocolate in which realy frozen strawberries were used coated with chocolate was good too. Then there were the durian chocolates (Real durian fruit) and weird stuff like the sesame peanut butter chocolate, and some other weird stuff I cannot remember. Oh, there's this curry chocolate which we didn't get to try. :/
Next, we went to Beryl's which had a fake cow at the entrance. There, someone was actually nice enough to explain and demonstrate how chocolates are made. We even saw the machines and bagaikan rusa masuk kampung, we kept asking if everything's real. =.= "Yes, everything here is all real," said the person explaining exasperatedly for the 4354687242 time.
Then, we got to eat more chocolates. The chocolates in Beryl's are cheaper and they taste good too. We managed to trick Jia Min (who can't stand even a bit of spicy-ness) into eating this chilli chocolate which looked like dark chocolate. You should have seen her reaction. XP The workers looked so worried for they were afraid that we would polish everything. XP muahaha. I recommend the tiramisu chocolate, the mint dark chocolate, THE DARK CHOCOLATE (i like dark chocolate. Sorry! XP) and according to chee june, the green tea chocolate (though I don't like it). They have durian chocolates as well. Try the chilli!
XP Overall, it was a very 'fulfilling' experience and we ended up spending a lot on chocolates we wouldn't be able to finish anyway. Note: Keegan still has 3/4 packet of mint dark chocolates now. Note to keegan: sharing is caring. :)
Doughnuts Sale
When? Some week in February
Where? School Compound
Who? Who else but us?
How? Ask our Funding Director.
Yes, we sold Dunkin Doughnuts to our fellow friends and they sold like hot cakes! This is probably because our canteen forgot to order food at that time =.=. Still! It was a great experience and the aroma of the doughnuts! Oh, so tempting! However, I guess we got sick of doughnuts after the first week. Ugh.. no more doughnuts please! >.< Donation for Flood Victims and Trip to Johor
When? 7 February 2007 (trip)
Where? Muar and Batu Pahat.
Who? Miss Khoo, Audrey Chong, Keegan Lee, June Chan, Hannah Merican, a few Youthactors
How? Trip by school van
This is our biggest comm. serve project so far but I did not go for the trip so I shall make this brief. On the first week of February, our Interact Club was given the honour of collection donations in aid of the flood victims in Johor. We went around to all secondary classrooms to appeal for donations for one whole week. The students were quite generous and supportive. Therefore, we managed to collect about RM 10000++.
We were in charge of collecting, counting and handing over the money to the school which then prepared three mock cheques to be given to three schools identified. I regret to say that I do not remember the names of those schools but I shall refer to those who went and update a.s.a.p. I do know that there was one chinese school, one tamil school and one national school though. They also visited the homes of several badly affected families and gave them donations as well.
They managed to interact a little with students from two schools but not with the last school they went for school had already ended when they arrived there.Apparently, the food there was very good (there was one school which served them lunch). However, Miss Khoo suffered from diarrheoa from drinking water from this jar which even Mr. Rama, another teacher who accompanied the students, dared not touch. According to June, the bumpy ride on the school van which was their mode of transport, felt as though they were riding on the Osim I-gallop. O.o
All this discomfort was worth it though for despite feeling tired at the end of the day, they claimed that it was a very eye-opening experience. See what we do for the sake of service above self? XPshall post some pictures soon. Enjoy... XP
