ECONS ILP submission

Please bring what you use to store your soft copy product or written report for ECONS ILP tomorrow(Friday). This is encouraged if your file size is very huge and deter you from emailing your work to me. Then probably you can transfer to a disc during lunchtime at the library. Please save all your files into a compressed zip folder and name it (with your group memeber names) for easy identification and so that the contents of the disc would not be mixed up and be a bit messy(trashy).
Alternatively save your file onto a disc beforehand(like tonight) and just pass the disc to me tmr.

And hand in any hard copy products as well. I think you are supposedto submit them tomorrow.

thank you for reading

New GEMS Proposal (Most probably to be submitted)

Proposal for GEMS Module
CT Group: 10S7F

Choice of course
The course that 10S7F is proposing for GEMS Module is “Dumpling making”.

Course description
This dumpling making session will be conducted by one of our classmate’s (Ke Yu He) parents who are experts in dumpling making. All 27 of us (including civics tutor) will be involved in making our own share of dumplings. At the end of the session, we will consume the dumplings for lunch.

Duration of course
1 day
Reasons for choice of course

Although feasting on dumplings is probably familiar to most of us, dumpling making is definitely foreign to all of us. Hence, it will be interesting for the class to learn the techniques of making tasty dumplings, such that we will be able to contribute our skills in future should there be any party/potluck. Since dumpling making is simple and easy to master, everyone should not have difficulties learning how to do so. As such, this choice of activity is in line with the interest of the whole class.
The reason why we decided to learn dumpling making from our classmate’s parents is that no course fee is required, except for the ingredients. Thus, the budget available can be spent wisely. Furthermore, no booking of venue is required, since it will be conducted at Yu He’s house. Therefore, dumpling making activity can be carried out without much difficulties.

What we hope to achieve at the end of the course

After the dumpling making course, we hope to be equipped with a new skill of learning how to prepare our very own dumplings. Needless to say, through the process of learning this skill together as a class, we definitely hope to be able to forge even closer bonds between each and everyone of us.

Concert!

Hi everyone!

This is Jeremy. I've been made CT rep (mr tan walked by and told us during CT session) and my first act as CT rep is Project Echolocation!
Actually I'm just advertising for them. I am in no way affiliated with them.

Project Echolocation is a concert for the Singapore Association of the Visually Handicapped. The concert involves Blindfolds, and features SG Wonderful (never heard of them, and neither has youtube), freelance soloists and "our own peers".

Details:
Date: 23 April 2010 (next friday)
Time: 7.30 pm
Venue: Hwa Chong College Auditorium
Ticket price: 10 dollars

In addition, they are also selling a CD that is priced at $10, but you get a $2 discount if you buy a ticket too. The CD features bands such as Fire Away, Samson; The Fire Fight; Exdee; and many more. Songs are exclusively composed for this cause - you won't find them anywhere else!

EDIT: forgot to mention this. The concert is actually an inter-JC collaboration among AJC, ACJC, HCI, IJC and NJC.

Please sms (96700794) or email (quilker@gmail.com) me (or any other contact method eg facebook) by monday if you want in!
