New T-Shirt Design!

Hello All! I surprisingly woke up at 11.30am this Public Holiday Morning.

Selamat Hari Raya Haji!!!

(It makes no difference to Holiday-ers, but it makes a difference...to moi. YAH!)

So, I'm not too sure where the inspiration came from, but here's the new design!

(Finally, something to stop having nightmares about. I swear I dreamt that the flute section was damn pissed cuz it was nowhere near completion)

4 designs to choose from!



Broken 15 Font



Astigma Font



Astonished Font



Forgot what Font

So!! Here are a few pointers!
1. Choose by polling!
2. If you think this design sucks, make sure you can come up with a design within 2 days after this post!!! (no really, it's possible. if there's a will, there's a way)
3. MOST IMPORTANT POINT
Should we keep the "only for the supreme" in front, or should we replace it with "Since 1984" ???

All response within 2 days will be appreciaited. YAH!

Choose Your Shampoo

Hello All

Because there's a crazy woman living in my house, I have tons of half to unused shampoos at home. So, I was hoping I could contribute one or two shampoo so that the rest of you don't need to bring. I desperately need to get rid of them cuz they are clogging up my bathroom shelf. if you want to buy it at 70% discount i also dun mind. LOL.

http://picasaweb.google.com/ashin.ashira/Shampoo#

some more got different brands. hahaha. i also suggest the following for shared items:
1) toothpaste
2) soap (not the bar one since i realise not everyone uses it)
3) shampoo
4) extra rolls of toilet paper

if there are anymore shared items, then i haven't thought about it yet... haha. leave it to the welfare people!

BUT PLEASE CHOOSE YOUR SHAMPOO. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!!

any comments!? shoot NOW!

nahaha.

Saikang warrior

I would like to clarify certain doubts and misunderstanding which have arisen from the mishandling of some issues.

Under sheer pressure and immense threatening from two seniors, I was forced to assume the role of the welfare officer. Last Friday, after watching a concert by Temasek Polytechnic Band, Tan Li Hong, aged 20, a big and burly man, came towards me with his hand stretched out. Apparently and most probably, he seemed to be offering a handshake. Without much deliberation, I was caught in his sinister trap, where by shaking his hands, I was agreeing to accepting full responsibility for the welfare of the flute section and also, receiving a highly life-threatening post - the Head OF the Ministry OF Welfare OF Flute Section OF Hsc(alumni)band (aka saikang warrior). Struck dumbfounded, our hands were immediately clutched (is this the right word?) into a handshake. I felt numbness spreading from my hands to my body(lol?) as Tan Li Hong, also known as, the Ed, signalled to his accomplice, Ng Man Ning, who refer to herself as Ning-er, to confirm the handshake. Hence, there I was, trapped in the pits of hell, as the Head OF the Ministry OF Welfare OF Flute Section OF Hsc(alumni)band (aka saikang warrior).

lol.

Tan Ed wants me to put this up, in case some people, like strahl who currently has over 1400 unread emails, do not check their electronic mail.

Flute Section Chalet 2008

Date: 21st -23rd December (Sunday – Tuesday)
Duration: 3 days 2 nights
Venue: Costa Sands Pasir Ris Downtown East

Flute Section Chalet 2008 packing list
• Tops. The organizing committee encourages females to bring dark-coloured tops. We don’t want to get hormones entering our bloodstream when the humidity increases (including an extra for wet games)
• Bottoms (including an extra for wet games)
• Underwear! (including an extra for wet games)
• An Umbrella, we don’t want to get wet, do we?
• A pair of slippers and do ensure that your slippers are in good condition, we don’t know the chances of them disintegrating
• A pair of shoes (optional)
• Sufficient amount of money
- To pay for our daily expenses
- To chip in for the cost of the chalet and barbecue (they’re separate)
- For seniors to treat their juniors, seniors, please do take this seriously.
• Any kinds of games which you think everyone can take part in, for example, cards, board games, balls
• Flute?
• MP3 / Walkman / Hand phone / Pager / PSP / PS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
• A sweater if you think your body’s thermo-regulator is not efficient enough
• Towel
• Shampoo and soap
• Toothbrush and toothpaste (someone could bring one tube and everyone could share it)
• Comb
• Boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse (by Emily the Strange)
• Plastic bags to store soiled clothes
• Sun-block/Sun-tan lotion — The organizing committee strongly thinks that none of us should risk getting skin cancer, due to prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation
• Water bottle – The committee also hopes for everyone to stay healthy by drinking enough plain water. Consuming too much sweet drinks may be deemed as a grave, toxic, deadly, lethal and fatal thing to do for some strictly-health conscious HSC flautists, whose names happen to start with H. Also, the committee hopes that none might be offended by the above statements. Please drink more water, then.

Exception:

To dearest nerdy studious flautists, for example, Jermain and of course, Andy, I hope you will forgive the committee for any misconception and inaccuracies in this mail. Once again, thanks.

• For all critical-year students, we welcome you with open arms to bring your study equipment and materials for this chalet, just in case you start feeling insecure, very deprived of studying, when your conscience is haunting you or in Andy’s case, when you feel angry (:


To conclude, we hope that this mail has brought, at least, a little entertainment and also, all opinions should not be taken too seriously as they are in no way intended to offend. Thank you. Let us also thanks Ng Man Ning for initiating the proposal to create a things-to-bring list and Tan Li Hong for helping to vet this mail.

Yours sincerely,

Seng Wei Jun (W.J)
Flute section chalet welfare officer’ 08


P.S Sorry for the overdose of information, it’s a bad habit.

New Appointment

Attention all fellow hscflautists,

Seng Wei Jun has been officially appointed (by me) as the Head OF the Ministry OF Welfare OF Flute Section OF Hsc(alumni)band (aka saikang warrior) with effect after his last O Level paper.

He will be committed to work really really hard to ensure that we all have a good time at the coming chalet in 21th and 22nd of dec. Please cooperate with him, give him your support so that he can be fully utilised maximise his potentials.

We are also hoping to invite Ms Hilary to give all of us a Motivational Talk on "weight management and the path to nirvana-ship" during the chalet. Salads and mineral water should be served, i guess?, during the reception. This programme is in GREAT demand, so we really hope Ms Hilary will turn up for the chalet no matter what!

Anyway, we are still accepting all sort of nonsense and suggestions to make our chalet more happening. If you havn't voted for the poll on the right, you should. If your nonsense and suggestions are not included, please tag them on the tagboard.

I would also like to take this opportunity to remind our autocratic empress dowager that the deadline of the flute alumni tshirt that she set herself is long overdue.

That's all for now, let's all look forward to the chalet! :D

Okayyy! Packing list! HOOOO!

Hello everyone.

yups and yups.

Thats all.
Continue to have a great day.

Chalet Announcement 2

Good Morning, it's 4am. While I will await LH to do the necessary updates in this post with regards to the chalet, let's start the discussion on what programmes to prepare for those days.

1. BBQ
2. Christmas Presents/Exchange?
3. Daytime/Nighttime Activities...?
4. Does anyone have psp. I have metal gear ops that I can send the game to up to 5 people (excluding me) so we can kill each other nonstop.

Dunno what else to write in here. What does everyone think? Don't tell me play toki-toki-toki-toki (i don't know what that is; i only remember Joanne doing that and shooting invisible laser beams around)...

Chalet Annoucement

Dear Flute Section,

I would like to announce that our chalet plan has been put on hold as the operation to secure a chalet unit via connections has FAILED!

Anyway, let's not weep ourselves to self destruction now as we still have the option to book the chalet - the civilian way. The catch is that it's 420bucks for 2 nights for coasta sands pasir ris. Additionally, we have to reschedule our dates due to other faster civilians who had booked their units long ago.

So the details is as follow:

420 $$
Coasta Sands Pasir Ris
2 nights (21/12 and 22/12 nights) Changed
Sunday check in, Monday, Tuesday check out

What do you all think, please act fast as all chalet units will be wiped if we take our time to decide?

Btw, last word from the management (better known as lynette or autocractic empress of the blog) is that the poll on the right is for fun onnehs .. so please comment on this entry your valuable comments ok?!

Please post comments on the entry by pressing the comment button below this entry... Hmm .. avoid the tagboad ok? less confusion .. thanks !
