YFC project

Our Youth-For-Causes Project Proposal was given the go-ahead, and a ceremony was held to officiate the transfer of the seed funding to the Non-Profit Organisations of the successful teams. Met up with our YMCA mentor, John Chin, as well as Erica from the American Association of Singapore, who will be mentoring our group as well.

Yock Song's Birthday

Due to an unfortunate last-minute activation, the turn-out crowd was smaller than anticipated. Met up with Dennis at Junction 8 before hitching a ride in Ban Xiong's maroon Toyota. Food was good, cake was delicious. A pity everyone left early.

World Book Fair - The Business Week Saga Continues

Four things I am still unhappy about with Emit Asia:

1. Gifts are crap. Okay, relatively crap, as Righteous International provided me with three gifts and several magazines to take home (and hopefully subscribe to in future). That is what I call 'in the business of doing business'!
2. Pricing not flexible. They relented only after action has been done, when they could have taken pro-active measures beforehand, and before the damage was done.
3. The promised Christmas Bear Hamper is Three years overdue. And I'm still waiting (hopefully) for my gift long overdue!
4. All the above transport costs (Not including the absolute waste of time) borne by me, the customer.

Dharsh's Birthday

Was more than an hour late for the party (My apologies!) There was a nice spread of Indian crusine and refreshments, something I wouldn't get the opportunity to appreciate often.

Heh, and for the record, we share the same Birth Dates (Day, month, year... everything!).
