Visit to Charis Old Folk's Home



On the 22nd of November, Interact Club of SMKSS17 paid a visit to Charis Old Folk's Home in Puchong that was planned by our Community Service Director Xin Xing and Vice Jayanthi.
After meeting the woman in charge of the old folk's home, we were quickly given our task which was.... *drumroll 'Assorting Party hats!' haha. We were all surprised by the amount of hats that was slowly but steadily prepared by the elders.
After Financial Service Director Jessica did some cleaning, the rest of us helped to carry the SUPER heavy boxes filled with party hats. We thought "There goes our back!" But the male-less bod made way and did it! But that was only step 1.

Step 2 : Arranging the party hats by pattern and cutting. By the end of step 2, we were already sweating our guts out and gasping for water. Hahaha the elders are going to sell these party hats to raise funds during the Christmas season around the corner. It was a random job but we were happy to do it! =)



Step 3: Each box must have 500 party hats of all 8 designs. After doing the math, we decided each hat has 62 for every box and then we randomly take 4 hats to add to 500. =D That took us like 15 minutes to figure out. =( We also have to be done by 2pm. Oh great..... How many hats were in our presence? 12000+ and it was already nearing 12pm...



We sorted the mixed hats into groups, we counted seriously A LOT of hats in form of 62 each pattern, we all had minor papercuts. Hahaha. We had some problems along the way like very few cardboard boxes available, we thought there was only 4 designs but each design had 2 types of cutting, the lady in charge even asked us to taped the boxes, and of course the limited time left. But we all never gave up and did our best! Go Go Go!! =D

Morever, it wasn't easy to count every hat till 62 and it's especially excruciating when we lost count. Hahah It was almost impossible to fit 500 hats into one box but our "compressing team" Jaya, Yi Xuan, Annesha and Ying Yee was victorious! WOOT!



Alas, it was almost time to go. Xin Xing called 2 taxi drivers to come pick us up. By the end of the day, we managed to complete SEVENTEEN boxes. Our teamwork made it through! Haha. We felt guilty for not staying longer but we sorta helped them out by arranging half of the remaining hats into groups of 62. So they won't have to count just put them into boxes. All together we completed 10500 party hats!!!! Oh yeahhhh! xDD



We took a group picture and a picture together with the elders. C:






All of us can feel the sadness inside every old folk. When they were so happy to see us and grateful for our help, that just felt like a stabbing heart in all of us. They don't deserve this. sigh... so we should all cherish our parents and be there for them every single step of the way. We not only learned teamwork, we also learned that no one gets left behind. (:

So all of us were really famished. Even the free 'keropok' given weren't close to enough. =D The taxi drivers were late and by the time they arrived, it was 2.45 pm. We all decided to eat Mc Donalds but that dream is slowly slipping away by the minute.. Ohhhh noooo! The taxi drivers all drove fast and we all kept thinking "We're not going to make it!!! ):" It felt like "The Amazing Race". Fortunately the driver was skilled and knew the shortest way to get there (the ss15 McD's) and we made it just 3 minutes before 3pm. Man... it was a tiring day. Then we all enjoyed our late lunch and even goofed around the playground in full view of the 'smoking area' outside. Darn. hahahaha

Installation of BOD 2010/11

As most or some of you know, Installation Day at school was cancelled due to some technical problems and we didn't really have another date left to have it on, so we instead had it on a smaller scale at Sunway Pyramid!

Reservations were made for 30 people at
Fullhouse, Sunway Pyramid.
We had Pn Halimah & Rotarian Mickmanon was there too! So yeah, there was officiation at some point. We had most of the new and old B.O.D attending as well as some other members and people from other schools.

All of us ordered the lunch set which included iced lemon tea and a bowl of yummy cream mushroom soup!

And most of our favourites, was the chicken chop set! So we got the time to just bond, chit chat and have a fun time eating together. But of course it's still an installation so how did we "pass" down the power from the old Board of Directors to the new?

By feeding pieces of cake!
a small slice of cake came with every set as well so the old BOD had to feed the new ones! But then since there were several people who were not present, we improvised :)


Of course the highlight of the day was Daphne our president feeding Michelle our new president!
Of course there were some people who nicely fed each other. But definitely there were those who smashed it in each others noses :)

Creamy facial eh?

At the end of the day, Rotarian Mickmanon handed to us certificates of appreciation to the entire previous B.O.D as well as some active members of Interact. Some were even shocked to receive the certificate (Ru Ting) HAHAH. her facial expression was priceless

So there you have it, the installation for the board of directors of 2010/11 has been complete and for those who previously bought tickets, please do go to Michelle Loh ( 4 SN 2 ) to refund your ticket :)

After the entire lunch, some of us broke up and went walking around. But most of us headed to play pool and kept wasting our 50sen coins on the jukebox. HAHAH. It was fun :)
Something so small, but yet so much more personal :)

This was a fun installation.
