OCIP

I think I'm taking a leap here, I was thinking of organising an OCIP kinda thing as a class trip. Haha I don't know what made me do it, but I was just looking through Habitat for Humanity, http://www.habitat.org.sg and thought of volunteering as a class.

If interested, we can go during our 3 month break (May-July) from uni, guys can maybe take leave from army? :) Anyway, about the project, we can form a youth group of min 10 people to go to any of the listed countries to help build homes for the impoverished. In return, the trip provides us opportunities for bonding, and nostalgic recollection of our Penang Trip together :') If we go to countries like Indonesia or Philippines, we can visit our fellow scholars who are now studying there. It's gonna be a different experience, that's not all about working to help the people there, but we get to sightsee and do other r&r activities too. Orphanage visits can also be added into the itinerary. The trip will be roughly about 7 days. We'll have to do stuff like fundraising for the trip, but Habitat for Humanity can guide us along with that. I think I might be too ambitious, haha, but I'm just thinking of how to fill my holiday time. Like since CJ never do all these CIP stuff alr (not talking about the SMU PEEPS HAH.) aiyah, even though now we don't need it for all those nyaa shit or graduation (not talking about the SMU PEEPS AGAIN HAH), it's always nice to volunteer right? :)

please comment if you wanna go!

(: so so so PLEASE PROVIDE MORE SUGGESTIONS. (:

BIG HUG (and air kisses!!)

p.s. mrs la'brooy gave birth yesterday morning so we could like spam her facebook or something with well-wishes!!! (:

life as we know it.

hi guys, in case some of you didnt receive my msg AHEMBERTTAHEM, here are the details of the proposed class outing!

Date: 2nd May, Saturday (CONFIRMED)
Time: 1pm, might be earlier since james has to book in at 5. OK HOW ABOUT 11 O CLOCK. you guys better be on time. 11 ok. until late, possibly? cos david only books out on sat. hahaha.
Venue: Illuma @ Bugis. Since i'm such a nice organiser, i decided to help you guys find out how to get there. extract from a blog: "Went down to the Illuma Shopping Mall at Bugis a week ago, the mall is just opposite the Bugis MRT station as it is within walking distance. The building should not be a problem to spot as the building should ‘illuminate’ as the outside of the building is covered with LED lights :p . Most of the shops are still not open because the mall have not undergone it’s ‘grand openning’. However, there is a cinema on the top floor as well as a decent size arcade with its rather unique arcade games. Most of the games are those Catching Machine Games, Stacker Games, and Video Games. One that I particulary found interesting was this Ice-Cream Catcher Game (next time i have to remember to take a picture lol) that had Magnum and Ben & Jerry Ice-creams in it." and another extract: "The new shopping mall and entertainment centre at Victoria Street. Opposite Bugis Junction." yah, that's the best i can give you, cos our lousy singapore directory is not at all up-to-date with our very cool and happening singapore shopping scene.
Activities: As stated above, there's a really cool arcade. and also heard of the cinema there called Filmgarde, which sells tix for $6 (although i think promotion only until end of april). wolverine, anyone?? :) and best of all, EAT EAT EAT! according to the blog, most of the eateries are alr open. also, catching up, & laughing at botak heads.

yah. hope to see you there! tag the board with your attendance!

Proposal for class outing!!! EDIT

hey guys, it's been a long time since we last went out as a class. that's why i'm thinking of organising a class outing on 4th April (Saturday). This outing is also to send off the April ns people so it would be nice if everyone comes. Thanks a lot!!! : )

EDIT: tentative details updated. we're going out for lunch.. at orchard area

Location & Time: MEET AT FAR EAST AT 1130
Activity: eating and talking/chilling

This will most likely be the plan for the day. As for where we're having lunch, it's definitely in the area but we'll have to see who's going before we decide on an exact place. Thanks! : )

And just in case anyone asks me again.. i am listing those who are going/not confirmed to be going.

Going: Johan, James, Alston, Jethro, Clarisse, Mandy, Michelle, Marie, Guinevere, David, Marcus
Not confirmed: Jiayi (most likely will go), Ernest, Hubert.
