Very Important Post

This post was originally posted on 23rd Feb. However, I guess most ppl didn't notice it since it was below po leen's post so I reposted it since I hope everyone will read the contents.


First of all, Thanks to E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E for making the Valentine's day project a success; despite some minor hiccups (sorry for that; we will learn from our experience and improve in future funding projects), we all should be proud of ourselves for selling off all the items the day b4 Vday itself!! Let us continue this spirit and better still, bring it to another level ^_^ We are yet to know the exact profit as Money Chan needs time to prepare the 'financial report'. So stay tuned..


Also, thanks to those who frequently visit the blog, especially those who make their voices heard, be it in post or tagboard. Everyone is welcome to blog, regardless of what you think of your own idea (as long as it is convo-mag related).


Reminder: Alen needs all of us to decide on the THEME so he can start working on the layout and design during his free time. I know CPK is around the corner, but do spend some time thinking for the theme. During the next commitee meeting (I don't know when yet), each member should come up with a few themes (after discussing with their groups) and we will take it from there.

Next event: Joint CNY Food Sale with Mpharm on 26/2 (NEXT TUES)
Groups in charge: Stephanie & Ping Wei, Dai Lo

20% of the profits from the food sale will be contributed to mpharm in our 'joint venture'. However, Mpharm has said that if they reach their target (said to be Rm3000), they will not be taking 20% from us.


Our batch is also in charge of slave auction (person in charge: Terry) , whereby the profits will be split 60:40 with mpharm. (60 for us)


How Y-O-U can contribute:
1. BUY the tickets!! Get them from Terry!!
2. Get your friends to buy the tickets and tell them about the event! There will be lotsa food stalls, games stall (set up by Mpharm), performance and slave auction!!
3. Volunteer to be a slave =p


'Gantt Chart' for upcoming fund-raising events in Sem 6:
Really, our timetable is so packed that it is hard for us to coordinate things. However, not all is impossible. Here is my proposed plan:

Week 8: CNY Food Sale


Weeks 9-11: Hospital attachment period. Time to catch up on our assignments etc. so that we can spare some time in weeks 12-13.


Weeks 12-13: By this time, medic sem4 and sem 5 will be back *Read: potential customers*
Some of you have suggested that we do CARWASH and I think it is a good idea. (terry told me that mpharm earned Rm700 doing carwash in a few days) I suggest that the carwash be a main project for the guy gang since carwashing should be their forte eh!!

At the same time, the rest of us (Those who were majorly involved in Vday project & Food Sale) can perhaps carry out some minor projects. (Your IDEAS needed ^_^) What I have thought of so far (given our hectic schedule and limited manpower) is:


Make-up Workshop: We get a professional make-up artist to come to IMU to conduct a make-up workshop. Get students to sign-up for it and charge them a fee. We may sell some cosmetic products too.(My mum's friend can get silkygirl and revlon products at staff price, perhaps we can get our stock there).

Pros: a day-activity (relatively hassle-free), better if it can be conducted b4 imu ball *wink* as it will attract the girls' attention; at the same time, we can attract the professional make-up artist by providing them an avenue to advertise for personal make-up.

Of course there are issues like availability of make-up artist, fees charged by the make-up artist, uni approval, response by students, date of project etc etc to consider. We will shall work on that together should majority of you find the idea feasible.


Week 14: Final week. I don't think we should touch this week at all as I am sure we all need to touch up on our final assignments, start looking for our missing lectures notes *grins* and for some, studying for the EOS.

cheers,

It's Andrew, b*tch

As you know, both me and Andrew were the radio announcers for Valentine's day...which didn't turn out so well due to change of location. But anyway, it was great working with Andrew on this.









Perassan-nya Andrew, kept looking at the camera...haha. The first video is funny, this was when he was not prepared but I forgot that I can't rotate the video. Anyway, enjoy.


Love,

Ms. Editor Finally Has Time To Speak Up

CNY Food Sale

The other day tai lo told me what he has in mind; he will be posting a list of food soon so that we can get feedback from u all. ^_^

Meanwhile, I shall just briefly tell you what he has in mind:
1. Cookies
He will get cheap ones from his hometown in perak. I have talked to a few ppl and we all think that cookies should be packed in small packets. Also, attention must be paid to the selection of cookies. After all, 26/2 is after CNY and I am concerned that some ppl are not so keen on cookies anymore. Stay tune for the list from tai lo...we need your opinions in 'shortlisting' the cookies hehe.


2. Yu Sang
Tai Lo also suggested that we can prepare our own yee sang and sell in bowls. He can get the sauce recipe from his mum. I am not a fan of yu sang, and I am thinking that since it is after CNY, will ppl still be keen? Thus we need your comments, coz cookies fan like me will still wanna eat cookies after CNY. So we would like to know generally what you guys think of yu sang.

* Yu sang, btw, is the CNY salad that people 'lou' or toss b4 eating. <--ALEN didn't know what yu sang was when I mentioned it to him hehe*
Yúshēng (鱼生) is interpreted as homophone for Yúshēng (余升) meaning an increase in abundance. Therefore, yusheng is considered a symbol of abundance, prosperity and vigor. -Wikipedia


3. Fried Nin Kao
Dai lo will be getting raw nin kao from his hometown because it is cheaper than kl, and nicer too. Ofcuz kl has nice ones too but the price is much higher.


4. Tong Yuen
This idea hit me as I was making tong yuen for reunion dinner just now. Remember the msian studies project? I still recall that our AH LENG TONG YUEN *wink at pui san* was quite a hit. This time round, though we will be charging them, the price won't be high as the cost price is cheap!

We can make tong yuen with gula melaka, red bean paste (buy from outside, no need to be homemade like ours hehe), blended groundnuts and sugar as fillings.

Of course, we would like your feedback for this idea too; because we need to know what potential consumers think. ^_^


Happy Chinese New Year everyone!! May the year of Rat brings us bountiful joy, good health, and good luck in EOS hehe. Play more, Win more and get more angpows!! Gong Xi Fa Cai!!'


Happy Rat Year,
gw
