Heys, here are the details for the SAHARA RACE CIP:

The Sahara Race is part of the 4 Deserts, named by TIME magazine as one of the Top 10 Endurance Competitons in the world. However, we will not be travelling to Africa to help out in this CIP so no worries =))

As we've heard from Mr William Wee that there will be a competitor (his friend maybe) from Singapore who will be joining the race, our job in the above CIP will be to aid him/her in publicity activities i.e. publicize the 4deserts series.

NOTE: Our job scope will only comprise of off-course work and we will basically be behind the scenes volunteers. In general, we will be in a way preparing the competitor for the upcoming sahara race in October. Currently, the full job scope is still not released.

The above mentioned CIP is likely to last till October, hence anyone who is interested please do inform me or your fellow comm heads asap. Thanks ppl.

On 13th May, we are going to have a dragon boating course. It is at Kallang Water Sports Centre. Please inform me if you can go by FRIDAY, 1ST MAY. Or else i will take it that you cannot go and you will miss out on the dragon boating course.

ONLY valid MCs accepted, parents' letter cannot. If you got any questions, can come and ask me. 

Project Vibrant Colours 2 - Photo Acknowledgement
Hi all,

as instructed by the interact club, each CCA needs to submit at least 15 photos to acknowledge people who had impacted their lives. lol.

so each of you please dig out at least one photo with a written message acknowledging the person/people in the pic for what he/she/they did.

eg.


Miss Lee is always there for us whether we're cycling, climbing staircases, or having physical trainings. It is her presence that makes me endure through tough trips and torturous exercises without a single word of complaint, knowing that she is silently giving us moral support in the aircon room nearby. Indeed, she has impacted my life greatly.

something like that. do not copy.

top 3 classes/CCA with most number of submissions stand a chance to win a prize.

send me (iris) the photos + messages latest by 19/04/09 (Sunday) night!

firelighting
Hey all!

Please remember to go and pick punk for the upcoming firelighting activity.

Yepps, here are the pictures of the different kinds of twigs/sticks/kindlings

[click to enlarge]

Photobucket
the various kinds of punk

Photobucket
coconut husk [kindling, good to start the fire]

Photobucket
also a type of kindling.

Photobucket
1st degree (basically, all the super thin twigs]

Photobucket
2nd degree

Photobucket
3rd degree

Photobucket
supporting wood [this is essential if you are going to cook/boil water]

okay, so people,
please go pick punk,
no punk = no firelighting
erm, try & pick as much as you can.
kindling and all the 3 degrees de, no need find supporting wood
&& please do not pick dried leaves!!!
because dried leaves produce loads of smoke when they are burnt.

Gunung Lambak (Johor) trip



Gunung Lambak stands at an altitude of 510m asl. It is situated just outside the town of Kluang in Johor, Malaysia. Lambak, literally means disorderly heap, which best describes the terrain to the hilltop. Though short, the ascent is steep with ropes (and roots) along the way to assist in the ascent.The hill is just about 10 minutes out of Kluang town. 

From the foot of the hill, it's a gradual but steep 700m walk before arriving at the summit. With determination, any reasonably fit person should be able to reach the hilltop within 1 hour. Descending takes about the same time as one needs to be careful of the many roots along the way.

Date: Either 9th (Sat, Vesak day), 10th or 11th of May.
How to go: We'll take a railway train there.
Money: Around $30 for transport fees and lunch.

Physical training @ Southern Ridges (08/04/09)
A list of things to bring for the day:

  1. Backpack weighing at least 10kg (compulsory)
  2. Water bottle (compulsory)
