Progress Report 12 Sep

It is confirmed : we are going to have the party at the School Canteen!!! Vincent aka Fei Hong, no need to "die die..."! I met with Han Kiat, Jeyamani (who knows Ms Radha very well) and the principal this afternoon and was pleased with their enthusiasm. Special thanks to the principal and Han Kiat..hip, hip, hooray. It was indeed a strange feeling being in the school premise, and my word, it is quite transformed!

Now the real fun begins...

Confirming your attendance
All "contacts-in-charge" have been given the task to call their "charges" to spread the function details and to confirm attendance (including spouse/partner/children). The contact-in-charge will have to forward all responses (positive and negative) via email to me by 16.Sep.2007 (this Sunday).

I will consolidate the returns and advise Arun and Amir so that they can start organising the catering.

Note : if you do not hear from the "contact-in-charge" by Sunday, then pick up the phone and call them or myself to confirm your attendance.

Welcoming and Collections sub-Committee
I guess Siew Ling and gang will have to start cracking on the organising of the canteen area. The space is quite big and arrayed with movable long tables and benches (like how it was during our school days). Just advise us as to how you want the layout to be like and we will have some muscle men (led of course by Wong Fei Hong) to assist.

Also, I think that on the day of the function, Siew Lingand gang and a few of us will have to be at the school earlier to set things up...right? Just shout early when you need the assistance.

Media and Publications sub-Committee
Apart from Florence, we have yet to hear from Peng Eng and William (hello....can you confirm pleaseeeeee...)

Keep us posted as to what you would be doing as a run up to the day, for the day (eg., group photos, etc) and after the day. On my part, if you need them, I can supply my lap-top and beamer for use on the day of the function.

Entertainment
Vincent, can you specify what you need for the day? Also, you have to start thinking about the speeches (or singing) that you and Lee Thiam Lock are doing for the day, etc. etc. etc. I can't wait for you to entice Mr Lee to pick up his pen and script another school song (post-79)?

Enough said. It's work time. So let's smile and get going...

PS : I think its about time we "hear" others on the blog. Start contributing (your thoughts, pictures, etc) else it becomes quite boring just hearing from me...

Also, those who have not confirmed their participation in the sub committee (highlighted in red in yesterday's posting, please (tolong tolong) sms me to confirm...thanks
