Annual General Meeting 2012.

On the 7th of January 2012, SMK Subang Utama had their Annual General Meeting (AGM) when all students were required to pick and join for one club under 3 categories for the year. The categories are: Uniformed Bodies, Academic and Non-Academic Clubs, and Sports Clubs.

And so the Interact Club of SMK Subang Utama had their AGM too! :D

This was the turnout for the morning session AGM, not too bad if I do say so myself. :)

What happened was the Board of Directors along with Pn Rajes, our teacher advisor, briefed the members on what was Interact all about and also what upcoming projects we had for the year.

There are some pretty exciting projects coming up, such as the International Understanding project, trip to Furry Friends Farm (an animal shelter), trip to an underprivileged home, recyling projects, fundraising projects, and many more! :)

There was also our Membership Drive which was on the 14th of January and a pretty good success. :)

Same thing happening with Club Service Director Ganendra (left) and Assistant Arvind.

All in all, the attendance for AGM was great, both the morning and afternoon sessions, and I hope to keep seeing all you awesome members at all our projects! :)

Int. Charlene.
Peace out. ;)

Carpark painting

Wow. Interact blog is a bit dusty eh?

Well, luckily for y'all, we've been having quite a lot of activities lately which you might or might not know, depending on how active you are.

First up, PAINT THE CARPARK!

It was originally supposed to be a 3-hour thing, but we grossly underestimated and it turned out to be a four-day affair.

Although the whole thing took more time than we expected, I think all in all, for a bunch of unprofessional painters, we did quite an alright job with the yellow car park lines. Most of them are straight. :D

And the best part is, we got free food for helping the school! We don't get paid but we get a full stomach! Hahah.

Some pictures.

Us working!

Us still working!

Us fighting for paint and brushes to work! Am I conveying just how enthusiastic we were about it yet?? Hahah.

The end result. :D


All in all, it was good fun, good work and good company. And if you head to school and see bright yellow lines in the carpark, you'll know it was us. :)

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!

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.


- Geraldine, your blog moderator (mod) ! A.K.A Gee.
