Welcome Tea 2011

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.

Video
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.

Speech
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.


Fun Games and Activities
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~






Food
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.

SLA 2011

The annual "Student Life Activity(SLA)" is back again.

This year we have Joan Peh and Tan Siew Tang to help design our Conservation IG booth and gift, Lim Yuan Yi to design the bookmark and photo album, and Yeo Chee Hiong to make our SLA Video.

SLA Booth

Our designers have put in a lot of effort to complete this master piece. Even though, our booth design was simple, it has lots of tone and shading to brings out the vibrant colours of our nature.
(We also make a point to conserve our resources by keeping the designs after using and used blue tag instead of scotch tape, so that we can reuse the materials)

Photo Album

Photo Album designed by Lim Yuan Yi

This year we had a new idea to showcase our IG , that is to have a photo album which shows our IG's past year events. This photo album will serve to preserve the memories of each generation of Conservation IG activities and members.
Having so many events, it is a difficult task to consolidate and put it in the photo album when we are racing against the time. Even though we did not manage to put over hundreds photo inside it, our designer have made the effort to design the pages before putting the photos in.

Bookmarks

The Bookmark idea was raised by Amy Choong (our Advisor) and improved by Lim Yuan Yi.
The design of bookmarks include environmental quotes, address of our IG blog and printed background.

Gift

Tan Siew Tang and Joan Peh have came up with the idea of having seeds in a used plastic cup and gift it to people whose willing to join our IG. The plastic cup and seed were placed within a bag made from magazine and gifted it to people whose wiling to join our IG. The idea of this gift is to allow us to see and appreciate whatever we have.(Everything around us has potential to be refused or recycled)

Our Crew







Thanks to all our IG members, this year we managed to get over 60 people to join. This means that there are still a lot of nature-lovers in RP, and they are willing to make a difference to improve our environment.
