New School Year + What We've Done So Far + Future Activities

The new school year has started!

I'm sorry the blog is getting slightly dusty but now that school has started again, we're gonna have a lot more activities (and hopefully, more updates!).

This year's AGM was kept simple and it was quite a success, if I may say so myself. What really impressed me was that we had quite a number of people who turned up for the interview the next day. To those guys who turned up for the interview, THANK YOU! You have no idea how much that helped us to know your perspective on things and we're really grateful for that.

For those who didn't attend the interview though, no worries. As long as you frequently attend the meetings (remember to get your attendance from Int. Liew Sher Mun, the tall spiky haired dude), you are a member of the Interact Club. On the other hand, even if you attended the meeting but you do not come for the meetings nor do you actively participate in our activities, your name will be cancelled out.

Also, for those not in the know, today was our first official General Meeting of the year. We had a pretty decent turnout, with both familiar and new faces in the crowd. We had several announcements made about the I.U Project as well as the Friendship Day Project. We also had a little sketch about Italy and we all learned some new facts about Italy.

Did you know that we have the Italians to thank for smelling good? The cologne was invented by an Italian!

Members were moderately participative but I must commend the members for paying attention to us most of the time. :)

Special thanks to the members who helped out with the Italy sketch!

Oh and make sure you guys come for the next General Meeting! There might be another hilarious sketch like that. :D


In somewhat related news, there will be a Production for Friendship Day tomorrow (16-01-2010) from 8am to 11am at No. 93, Jalan SS19/4. Bring your stationeries, glue and scissors! For more details, please call Int. Sarah at 016-3160125 as she's the one in charge of this project. Thanks.

General Meeting + BOD Meeting (21/8) + Miscellanous

Guys! Listen up!

GENERAL MEETING
Day/Date : Friday (21/8)
Place : 3 Gamma
Time : 12.30pm
About : Wishing Well Project! Paint the Store Project! And if we have time after that, GAMES! :)

For BOD members, pay close attention to this. President Zhiying has decided to have an official BOD meeting right after the previously mentioned General Meeting. Details as follows:

Official BOD Meeting
Day/Date : Friday (21/8)
Time : 1.30pm
About : We will be inviting our Rotarian Advisor to this meeting so if you have any qualms or questions about your job or your role to play in the Interact Club, you can ask him then. Place is yet to be confirmed.

VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE BE THERE.

Oh yes, I also have a favour to ask of all you SMKSU Interactors! I've been thinking of changing many graphic-related stuff on this blog for a while now, but I never really got around to it because:

1. My laptop is best friends with Mr Laggity Lag.
2. Although my desktop is super fast, I only have Adobe Photoshop on my laptop.
3. I cannot find any suitable graphics.

Ignore the first two, I just need your help regarding the last. (Unless one of you will be willing to buy me a new laptop complete with Adobe Photoshop. Or just a new Adobe Photoshop CD since I can't find it anymore. Hahah)

If you come across any interesting graphics that remind you of the Interact Club, that you'd like to see be put on the blog as the header or as an icon or whatever, please let me know! You can contact me from my email, crazy4more_xcitemen93@hotmail.com

Your help will be greatly appreciated and quite frankly, desperately needed. Thanks! :)

And lastly, just for laughs, Neil Patrick Harris dancing with Elmo. Makes me laugh every time. Hahah!


Ja ne!

Raising funds!

Aloha!


Yes as the previous post stated, i'm sarah ding your funding director! Honestly I dont really have the patience like rachel to put colours for fonts and such lol. I think its very ma fan :D

I sound very bimbotic and happy and like rainbows and butterflies but i'm actually not okay lol. I'm very quiet :O monologue sometimes too.... -_-

OK this post isnt about me! It's about what I expect/hope from you members - your help to make funding projects succeed. and also every other projects. I'm looking forward to getting to know every member. And i do wish everyone would just lend a hand in our projects.

As Funding Director, one of the main projects we have anually is Valentines Day/Friendship Day project. I'm sure many of you are quite familiar with how the process goes :

Go to the table, write your order, pay, recieve your orders on valentines.

I've actually thought of quite an interesting (and high tech lol) way to spice things up! I've decided to open a blog specially during our friendship day project period and have the order forms there! So that everyone or anyone could just order by just a click click click!

And of course payment need to be made the usual way :)

So yeah, tell me what you think about it! :)

Another kinda of a messy task is production. Which is when all this products are urm, produced? Honestly alot of members dont turn up during productions. But you have to! You got to! It's actually very fun to do stuff. To show your creativity and especially girls, i think you'll love it lots! I know I did this year :D thats why I picked this post as funding dir.! :D

I do hope you guys would turn up for productions in the future! Get involved and we'll all be happy together (lol i just crapped that)

Fund raising projects are coming up! (i think) Look forward to it just like i am :D

Oh yea...

A priceless picture of our president
is a MUST on the interact blog! :D

Blogging Guidelines + Labels Mega Post #1

Hello everyone!

First post in the new Interact SMKSU blog! Cheers all round!

Currently under renovation, so there's really nothing much to see right now. But feel free to browse through the old Interact blog which shall be made extinct as soon as this one is up and running! :D

Right now, I'm using this post to add new labels to the blog to make it easier for everyone to search for a particular post or whatever. But I have to use another post soon, cause one post only allows 200 characters for labels. -___-

**IMPORTANT**
To the other BODs who has access and would wish to blog something, this is a list of things you can blog about:

1. Interact projects. This includes but is not limited to information about upcoming Interact projects, post-mortem of an Interact project, your own pictures/views/ramblings about an Interact project you attended, etc.
   
2. Announcements. Things like announcements about general meetings (GM), BOD meetings, productions, etc.
   
3. Interact news. Anything new with the Interact club.
   
4. Messages from the BODs. Want to send out a message to the Interactors of SMKSU? You can do so here but please restrain your language.
   
5. Basically anything Interact-related. As long as you keep the more flowery and colourful side of your language to yourself. Otherwise, either Nadia or myself will have to delete that entry and have a talk to whoever posted that.

Although I would like to point out that normally, it would be either Nadia or myself who will post about Interact projects. Most of the announcements too, but sometimes both of us miss some of the information for a meeting, so if you checked the blog and don't see an update about a meeting you know about, please update! (Also, please don't make up meetings. It's not actually that funny and it would cause some problems for us.)

The others, well, you are welcome to blog about them anytime you like!

A couple of things I would like you to follow when blogging to makes moderating this blog easier:

• Please include a title that is relevant and informative. Eg, if you're blogging about an upcoming general meeting, your title can be something like, 'General Meeting on [insert date here]'. Don't worry about giving crap titles; if you do it wrongly I can always help to edit it. ^^
• Please include labels for every post. This is to make it easier for me, you and everyone else to search for a post later on. And remember, the labels have to be relevant to the post itself! Eg, you can't put the label 'pictures' for a post that doesn't contain any pictures, right?
• Please do not create new labels by yourself! This is of utmost importance. No matter what circumstances you're under, you will not create new labels! If you do, you will make my life as the moderator hell. And in return, I shall make your life hell. *eyes all of you maliciously*
  
  Only use the ones I have created. If you don't know the labels, next to the blanks where you type in the labels, there's a link 'see all' or something like that. Click that, all the labels
  will come out. Then just click one to add it to the post. It's that simple!
  
• Please leave your name at the end of the post. Eg.
  

  
  Hey!
  
  [POSTPOSTPOSTPOSTPOSTPOSTPOSTPOSTPOSTPOST]
  
  - Gee [Or whatever your name is]

Right now, that's all I can think of. But yeah, all the basic rules of blogging apply, okay?

And oh yeah, I forgot. I'm a stickler for proper punctuation. So sue me. But if I see a post with writings like this (HeY, I aM hErE tO tEll yOu...), or like this (hey,i am here to tell you this.please don't forget...) I am going to edit it. Just telling you first, to avoid you feeling hurt or whatever. Sorry, I'm just a neat freak like that. I like all my blogs to be organized and nice-looking.

Other than that, BODs, enjoy yourself! :)


Last warning/reminder before I leave,

Srsly, do not randomly add new labels as you please. SRSLY.
