my trip to Singapore

Adventurous me..in the tiny island- Singapore!!

Going alone to Sg alone by bus was kinda scary cause i never go there by myself and all the procedures to cop my passport and all were kinda blur. However biggie thanks to IVY ang who had written me the 10 perfect steps to Sg b4 i embarked..What to expect and which bus to take..Hehe. Everything went smoothly till i reached the immigration department! I was detained at the immigration department because i brought PEPPER SPRAY along. For your info, pepper spray is prohibited in Sg, bringing in PS without declaring it is an offence! Luckily i declared it to the Immigration officers and they just conphisticated the PS and black listed my name:(Thank God, i was not sent back M'sia..Hahah...

Jurong East, there is where Ivy Ang's house is....

Ichigo bliss(frozen Strawberries+vanila) from MOS burger..It's very niceEe!

DAISO...everything for $2 only....felt like buying the whole shop back!
Met WeiLin and Sarah @ Bugis Street:)

Angie and Ivy's Mommy..She was a nurse too! Thanks aunty for the late night sharing of your experiences of becoming a nurse and of coz hosting me for the past few days:) Thank you for the meals and making my stay in Sg so comfortable! Hugs...U're always my best friend, continue sticking notes around!Hahaha

Egg+Ham chips, Baked salmon, home-made scones, and my breakfast made by AngAng!!While Ivy went to work, WEILIN took over the shift to 'jaga' me:) She is the BESTest tour guide you could ever find!All the details in every nook and corner of Sg, she can explain to you nicely! Thank U gurl for the red carpet welcome! I really had a great GREAT time there...thank you for making time for me despite your overloaded schedule...

Visited HwaChong Institution+Raffles Girls Secondary school+Nanyang Girls School! It's like a schools visit trip for me:)i'm really amazed by the facilities provided in their schools! Each of these schools have their own field tracks, swimming pool, various courts and the compound for the schools is huge! Who say Sg is lack of lands? The government really invest on education!! They all must be fit and smart. No wonder it's so stressful to study in Sg..
Ivy's classroom. She and her classmates painted the room. It has been years but the 'powerpuff gurls' are stil there:)

Ice cream feast at Island Cremery..They hav teh tarik flavoured ice-cream:) Oh, Seng Chye joined us and brought me around Sg too!:)Thanks, anak dr 'kelapa'
Aunty Rosie and me....WeiLin's personal chef..Hahah! Her food were so yummy. WL must be so blessed to have her around:)

Sushi feast @ Ichiban Sushi, Plaza Singapura. OiShii ne...

After our dinner, Ivy sped to Vanezia to tapao the nicest Gelato in town~ We bought greentea+red bean and tartofu flavoured gelato. Then *poof* we rushed home to catch our Hong Kong drama while enjoying our ice-cream:) 2 out of the 3 nights i stayed in her house, we ate ice cream while watching TV. Chillax-ing..
The day b4 i left, WeiLin's mommy drove all the way from her house to Ivy's place and lavished me with a bag of titbits so that i could eat in the bus on my way back..Aww, it's so thoughtful of her..Thanks Dajiejie..
the amount of food she bestowed me..i'm so loved:)
ivy and my goOdies...!
finally i found the chocolate almond Pocky recommended by Hannah...Yipee..M&M's with almond...Malaysia is not selling this yet:)Another junk only sold in Sg is the greentea flavoured kitkat, but i couldnt find it..haih,next trip lar.
Ivy's dad borrowed me this book called 'Gifted Hands'. I managed to finish it in just 2days despite my tight schedule in Sg..Haha! It's my first time doing that but guess it's really a great book! It's about this amazing black man, Dr Ben Carson. The story is about how God transformed him from a street fighters who almost killed his best friend, to a well-known neurosurgeon in John Hopkins Hospital. He said his good coordination of hands and eyes are gifted from God. And all of us have different talents. Success in life revolves around recognising and exploring your 'raw material'. Believe in God who can do the impossible...*a very highly recommended book*

In short, my stay in Singapore was marvellous. BIGGIE thanks to Ivy who has accomodated me though you're so busy working and running errands for your family. The moments we did our quiet time in Jurong Library, pillow talks , midnight ballooning, MRT-ing, shopping and all will always be sweet memories:) May the Lord fill your heart with joy no matter where you are. Love ya lots, Bennie(",)

wasSup Doc: There are times when i needed to tell someone my fear, times when i have needed someone to share my secret, times when i have needed someone to rejoice with me over an achievement. And those were the times when only you will do, thanks Ivy for being who you are to me:)

Relatives all weren't around and my dearest sis and bro are far away from home. Seems my parents will suffer empty nest syndrome when i leave real soon:( It's the very first time we all woke up in the morning with pyjamas and received ang pows from my parents..

Convo Mag Fund Raising Project – IMU Idol

As you all know, our convo mag is in dire need of funds. With most of our solid ideas either being hammered down or have already been done by other, IMU idol seems to be the only real hope to generate funds. The target for this project would be an estimated RM 3000. The Blind Date project previously collected a whooping >RM3000. I’m telling you, ‘If we can get enough of people to organize this, we’ll make equally as much if not more!’
IMU idol will span a total of 4 weeks, with the first week being the audition, followed by semis and finally the finale. Each stage of the competition will be filmed and shown everyday at the atrium where our voting booths will be. The public can vote for their favorites by purchasing a vote (and MIGHT include a freebie like chocolate OR NOT) at the voting booths. Prices to be discussed later.
The audition is to be held at the lecture halls where else the semis and the finals will be at the atrium. We are trying to organize the semis in conjunction with the food fair by the ball committee. As the competition progresses, half the number of participants will be eliminated each time. The winner, first runner up and second runner up will be given a prize respectively.
The basis behind the creation of IMU idol:
1. It is an efficient money making scheme that requires zero funds to start, which is why we’ll need all the man power to make this right!
2. It’s never been done before and the idea appeals to most of us.
3. IMU has plenty of hidden voice talents.
4. To create an atmosphere of competition which hopefully will give us the edge of more votes. Here, votes = money.
5. It’s finally a chance to organize something that’ll suck money out of other batches instead of the usual self generated profits.
6. Since it involves other batches, they’ll no longer hesitate to contribute to OUR convo mag.

IMU Idol committee proposal
For effective handling of the events, I propose a 4 team committee.
The first team’s task is to sort out the promotional aspect of the event. This includes job such as drawing up posters or banners and preparing wallpaper for the computers in the e-labs. Other reasonable suggestions for the promoting team would be to design human billboards and flyers for circulation. If there’s sufficient time, a video to advertise the event would be highly recommended. I personally will be filming all 3 events, from the audition to the semis and the finals. I hope to gather around 4 to 5 people for this team and upon completion of their tasks, they may or may not join the other teams as to their liking. It is important that people work as a team here. Each individual may have a specific style but a blend of all styles may sometimes yield better results. So, please compromise!
The second team will handle the booths. Collecting and counting the votes are a priority to this team as all incoming cash flows from here. It is advisable to draw up a timetable in order to rotate the person in charge each day. As the event will span for about 4 or 5 weeks, it is essential to have responsible people in charge of the booth. The team also needs to come up with a chart to show the number of votes for each contestant. In this case, Size (of the chart) Does Matter! I propose about 4 to 6 people for this team, with 2 people on stand by at the booth each day. The operation hours are up to you guys but try to cover a span of 4 to 5 hours each day and you may split the hours throughout the day for longer coverage.

The third team is the event team. The jobs here are the most tedious involving both the semis and finals competition to prepare for. This team basically has to organize and beautify both the events in order to draw in more crowds for the votes. For the singing competition rounds, the team is encouraged to invite our very own IMU bands to perform along with the singers. It doesn’t need to be very high standard (like the Friday night), but must be equally nice as well. Positions to be filled include team leader (1), emcees (2), stage crew (2), spotlight (1), and decoration (2).
The last team would be the organizing team. This is a fundamental team as all activities have to pass through this team. Individuals with interesting ideas may join and contribute to the IMU idol idea. Right now, this team comprises of me (Kevin), Han Ying and Naomi.

The whole IMU idol is still in its preliminary planning. So, I apologize for the inadequate information in this notice. Feel free to contact any of the numbers below for further information or if you’re interested in joining us. Participants will be awarded a certificate at the end of the event. Thank you for your attention. It is greatly appreciated.
