Be reminded

EDIT: The homework blog is back, I hope it helps the needy~
http://the-homeworkclerk.blogspot.com/

Hi all, for those still unaware, the chalet is postponed to December/end of year since there were signs of forgetfulness/disinterest that hit my limit for the last time. Look forward to then!

Final decision!!!

HI,
LOOK
OVER
HERE.
I have decided to set dates and to ask people whether they are free. If we were to go one by one, I would most probably never get a date. So, as the availability calendar for June 2009 only marks 1st to 5th June as available for booking, I will choose within these days.
1st June falls on a monday and 5th June on a friday. I understand that most people have cca on Tuesdays and Fridays, so the combination of days I am going to offer is:
1. Mon, Tues, Wed (1st to 3rd June)
2. Wed, Thurs, Fri (3rd to 5th June)
Most of us will at most miss one day of cca, unless your cca intends to change the day of cca during the holidays. And since everybody is already rather interested then I heeded Therena's advise to put it at the front of the holiday. Can everybody tell me via sms/msn/call or any other way to tell me if you can go? If too many people can't I'll re-decide the date, and if anybody has any objections or better suggestions, feel free to tell me and,
reply asap~

Chalet activities

Hihi, this is Sharon, again. The results for chalet activities are out now, the following will be the compulsory-to-happen events during the chalet:
  1. BBQ
  2. Escape theme park
  3. Wild wild wet
  4. Instant-noodle dinner
  5. Movie screening (Huge demand for horror films!)
  6. Class activities (class-bonding games)

For the BBQ, I have to repeat again that we will have to pit in more money and it might exceed the quota of the chosen $20-50. I'll like to put Nareta (LOL!!!) in charge of the BBQ, as she is super experienced in terms of food (outing to Sentosa she prepared food for us leh!). And going by majority, we will be bringing our own utensils and bowls bla and Nareta say she will help wash LOL!!! No la, I will also be bringing dish-washing liquid to wash for everybody, I like washing dishes whether you believe it or not.

As for class-bonding games, I will entrust this task to Yunyi because she has alot of vibrant ideas and she has always wanted to plan bonding games for our class. Also, Yunyi if you wish to make class tee don't have to ask me, I will follow your decision one LOL

For movie screening, many people wish to watch horror films instead of comedy and sorts. I will be asking the class if anybody has violent objection towards watching horror films (like if you have compulsive thinking disorder and you will keep thinking of the ghost's face) must tell your reason to the class, and I believe the class will understand, we all very friendly one LOL! But honestly, watching horror films will let us have a better understanding of one another's level of bravery LOL so this part will be further updated

As for the allocation of beds, there are two nights and four beds, so a total of 8 people (4 boys and 4 girls) can sleep on the bed. We will be having our prestigious chairpersons, Regine and Morgan, to choose from a pile of numbers to determine who sleeps on the beds. We will also be sleeping separately because:

  1. Your parents may not allow you to go if they know we are sleeping together
  2. Guys snore omg

So on the first night, boys take the room with the beds and vice versa. This implies that everybody has to bring your own sleeping materials (bolster, sleeping bag and your lovely teddy bear). This is quite fair I suppose, since nobody ticked under the column 'I want to sleep on the bed'

As for dress code, I understand some people want to wear their bermudas like Renzhi LOL!! Since the number of people who put their votes under 'Yes' and 'No' to the dress code are equal, I suppose we will come in our own clothes, but can everybody bring the school PE shirt to change into for the BBQ night, this is good as:

  1. Make up for dress code
  2. Dry-fit allows you to ventilate as you BBQ the food

As for the part about somebody taking charge to plan food, here's a rough outline I drew:

  • Day 1- Breakfast eat at home, lunch buy yourself (got food courts), dinner instant noodles
  • Day 2- Breakfast somebody cater for all, lunch buy yourself, dinner BBQ
  • Day 3- Breakfast somebody cater for all, lunch eat out together

If anybody has any objections/comments, please voice out and I'll make changes! As for Zhiwei's request to watching Exorcist, I'm sorry but no, because Timothy wrote: No Exorcist!!!! We will be watching less mild horror films, Exorcist is really too scary oh my. Yiheng, regarding the date I already told you it has to depend on the number of people able to go on the days, so I cannot promise you that it will be at the end of June holidays. To be honest,

BAD NEWS

If you read page 64 of February's Asian Geographic Magazine, you will see this line:

"The Downtown East holiday chalet in the eastern
part of Singapore, which comes complete with an indoor amusement and swimming
park, will be transformed into the official Asian Youth Games
Village."

omg I totally freaked out when I read this on the bus. Now, I'm certain that the availability of chalet in Downtown is rather limited, so:

http://www.costasands.com.sg/web/specialsAndPackages/details.aspx?id=5443

It's deluxe room, a package, but the terms and conditions state:

"Subject to room availability.
Not applicable for group bookings, and/or with
other promotions, discounts or offers.
Terms & Conditions are subject to
change without prior notice.
Studio rooms are not available for online
bookings; it can only be booked over the counter at CSPR."
I have no idea what group booking is, so I will be calling the resort line tomorrow to ask LOL. Should the number of people able to make it be too little and the clashing of dates is too extreme, I will put this project to an end and postpone it to December. So I'm trying to collate dates earlier in hope that we can get to book earlier and to understand the number of people able to make it, hope everyone can co-operate, and the least you can do is to get all your dates confirmed, thanks everybody! :D

Class chalet survey results

Hihi, this is Sharon. The results for the class chalet survey are out, I will be revealing them to you and tell you what to know and will be done about it in this post.

Q1: Do you wish to have a class chalet organised?
10 people- Yes!
19 people- 随便

Since there are no objections, I assume that all of you want to have a class chalet and is prepared to pay or help organise it. Also, do ask your parents if they would allow you to go for the chalet.

Q2: What is an appropriate time to organise one?
1 person- Weekends
18 people- June holidays
16 people- December holidays (some people chose more than one option)

I suppose that it will be held at the June holidays then, I will be giving out a piece of paper with all the days and dates of the June holiday to everyone in the later part of this term to choose an appropriate date. Once results are tallied, I will be making an announcement to inform everybody. Also, do start to save money for the chalet, you have at least 2 months to do so. (if you save $1 everyday, you will get about $60 after two months, so I don't wish to hear anybody lamenting that you're poor!)

Q3: How long would you like the chalet to be?
16 people- 3D2N
13 people- 2D1N

We shall be organising one that is 3D2N following the majority. Since it is 3D2N, please be prepared to bring more money to survive and for recreational purposes.

Q4: Would you like a BBQ session during the chalet?
All- Yes!
0- No!

The results are quite obvious, and Downtown chalets have more than 300 bbq pits for you to burn as much food as you want YAY! But, if we are to have a bbq session, please consider the following:
>You need to pit in more money for food
>Somebody must know how to start the fire and poke chicken wings LOL
>You have to bring your own utensils, plates and mugs and your barbie doll bowl whatever to save money and not buy paper plates and stuff
>Leftover food? (give who LOL)

Q5: Which chalet to go?
27 people- Downtown East
1 person- Changi
1 person- Others

So we'll be heading for Downtown East (it has a swimming pool!!), I'll check the prices and availability of well-facilitated chalets there and update you all if there is any information. Actually, downtown east is a good choice LOL we can go to Wild wild wet on one day, Escape on the other, then at night when we go back we all can play bonding games and online haunted house-ghost games to bond WOOHOO and as taken from the website:

"To make every stay comfortable, the resort has
360 fully air-conditioned rooms with attached bathrooms, twin beds, televisions
with DVD players, refrigerators and warm water flasks
."


and there's only one type of room so save my lovely time from checking:

DELUXE ROOM
Fully air-conditioned (WOOHOO~)
Twin
beds with 2 pull-out beds (means only 4 people can sleep on beds, more if
squeeze LOL)
Attached bathroom
Television Set
DVD
Player (means can watch films~)
Refrigerator (so don't worry about food
rotting)
Hot Water Flask
Towels (surely some cheapskate unabsorbent
towel)


Q6: How much are you willing to pay?
Everybody voted for $20-$50. Please note that this is only for the cost of bbq food and chalet rental fees, any other money (eg. go wild wild wet or eat at burger king) you need to spend during the chalet is not answerable for. I suppose this amount would be enough :)

Firstly, our June holidays span from 30th of May to 28th June
downtown east resorts: http://www.downtowneast.com.sg/resorts/
resort promotions: http://www.downtowneast.com.sg/promotions/?id=resort

Apparently none of the promotions concern dates in the school holidays LOL I'll keep checking and update once there is any new promotion. I'll be making a new survey to ask what activities you guys like and want since we are confirmed to have one. I know that maybe some of you will be not free for sure because of ccas and the chalet is 3 days long, so your cca will definitely fall within a peiord of 3 days. Personally, I'll be making an exception because it is the holidays and it is our last year together. Since we can't have a class tee, I want to have the best memories of 2B etched in my heart. I'm not forcing anybody but if you can, please go, please please please~ (mind you, Sharon is spending her lovely time to post such a long post and making surveys LOL! ok shameless) once the results for the activity survey is out, I will be drawing a rough outline of what we will be palying and enjoying at the chalet and a list of things to pack~ (don't worry, using school's printer to print the packing list yay!)

Get ready for the chalet's expenses and for the next survey, look forward to the June holidays! :D
