Interact Club

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!

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
