All in a Day's Work

110505

Well, it was disappointing to hear that the Goethe Institut ended its screening of German films. Weizhang, Yaoshun, Sean and Caleb were looking forward to catching it. Anyway, met up with Sean and Caleb for dinner at Chomp Chomp, where we caught up on old times. Well, the ORD mood was quite prevalent, as we exchanged notes on our army days. After dinner, we popped by Ice 3 nearby, and got myself a Rocky Pit Tia Maria, which was essentially a Cocoa-based ice cream with a vial of alcohol (a bit like brandy, only with less intensity).

Went down to Tanjong Pagar and Harbour Front to source for materials for my Social Entrepreneurship project.

What's Hot on the 'Net

At USD141 million, Singapore is ranked 25th as importers of conventional arms. Israel, which has gone 'local' with the production of conventional arms such as the Merkava Mk II MBT, spends only USD45 million in contrast.

This Chilli is so hot, you'd have to drink 250,000 gallons of water just to put out the fire -
An interesting site which provides an insight into one of the most preferred spices, Chilli.

Before you go to the toilet, this will provide some insightful observations on the Male Loo.

Hobbits are Very, Very Gay -
Author Aristan says, "These pages are very photo intensive and may take awhile to load. I don't own the rights to any of the characters because my last name isn't Tolkien and I don't own any of the people because this year is later than 1863. These pages are meant to be funny and point out that it isn't just Elijah. All the hobbits are very very gay!"

What exactly will you do in Social Entrepreneurship?

Swee Shoon said...

We have to submit a business proposal to the Citibank-YMCA Youth For Causes Committee, who will consider a selected number of entries (100 this year)and award a $1,600 seed funding to kick start the selected projects. The teams will then put their proposals into practice, and spin off that sum of money several times. All the money made in this manner will be channelled to a Non-profit Organisation of the team's choice. In this manner, we can get to learn the ropes of business (the 'entrepreneurship' bit) without too much capital risks involved (the seed funding), as well as doing it for a greater cause (the 'social' bit).

Agagooga said...

Yes, but what sort of proposals do you have?

Swee Shoon said...

To put it simply; Sales, with a touch of creativity.

Agagooga said...

... not willing to disclose trade secrets eh. Don't worry, not going into business against ya!

It's because it's a rather comprehensive piece of work that took us two weeks to draft up, so it's not exactly something that can be summarized 'in a hundred words or less'.

Oh well, we'll just keep it at that...
