For this year's welcome tea, we have Lim Yuan Yi to organize the event, with support from the seniors and year 2s. We had a video, a speech, food and fun games and activities prepared for them.

The video was done by Yu Lin. She had just started working on the video 1 month before the actual day. It wasn't easy to make a video as you need to match it with words, music, background sound and most importantly bring the message across. Even though in the end the video was not perfect, the effort and time she's willing to put in is something that most people admire and wish to possess.

A speech was done by Amy Choong (our advisor) and Lim Jing Kai ( Our head of public relation, 2010). Amy's speech is about why do we have Conservation IG, and why do we care about our environment (educational speech), while Jing Kai's speech is more related to what our IG had done in the past till the upcoming events. This year we also have our senior Alena Huang , Chew Yao Jie and Herman Seah to share their experience and what have they learnt in IG.

This year the games was planned by Louis Lee and Lim Yuan Yi. They prepared six games, but were only able to play three games due to time constraints (I guess we have to wait till TICE).

We hope that all of you enjoyed the games prepared by them~

I don't want to say this, but there is shortage of food~ I am very sorry about it, it is not that we are stingy about food. It's about food wastage, we always tried to control the amount of food wastage thus, it is important to inform us about your attendance so we can cater the right amount of food for you all~ ^.^

Background knowledge about food waste:

Food waste is one of Singapore's main problem in waste management. As it contains a lot of moisture, our incineration plant will have to put in more energy to burn all these food wastage.

(This contributes to waste of energy)

Everyone!!! Thanks for organizing and joining this welcome tea~ Hope you have enjoyed it like i did. Do join our IG and come for our meeting if you have not joined (don't be shy). n_n

the IG is not just about one person; it's about everyone. Everybody can have a part to play in treasuring the things around us. A little consideration from people, private sector and public could contributes great help for our nature.
