meiqi-join us after prom leh! what see us on sunday?
jerome-lol.I don't reckon we are allow to cross paths with the runners. so we can't pass you powergel. Fragrance hotel? The name sounds cheesy. haha. but if it's cheap I don't mind.
kaidi-hmm. since the girls are not touching alcohol and jc too, do you have any suggestions on where to go?

Sidenote:
For those of you going prom, do your want to meet up so we go as one group? Or do you guys prefer to go with your class? JC has been asking me about it. So yes...I need a reply from all of you. Tag on the board please. Thanks.

Hello guys, I'm here to post the Runspiration Crew Positioning info.

For abby, xinyun & me, we'll be stationed at the Padang.
For Abby:
Job Scope: To coordinate and ensure individual teams arrive from their performance points and to guide the teams to the holding areas.

For Xinyun:
Job Scope: To round up team involved in performance and prize awards at the holding area.

For Shu Rong:
Job Scope: To round up teams that are ready for performance, prize presentations & to lead teams to stage area.

Take note that all of us are assigned with a male partner. Contact details of your partner will be passed to you asap.

For Dianah & JunCheng, both of you will be at Sector 5.
To give a brief guide, basically the whole stretch of the 42km is divided into 5 sectors. Along these 5 sectors, there will be 20 schools performing or rather they serve as a motivation drive for the runners.

Job scope: To ensure teams arrived at performance points at stipulated time and departure of teams from sector to Padang. To constantly have the full manifest list of teams, teacher's-in charge contact number as well as Bus Driver's contact numbers.

The responsibility for both of you will definitely be heavier. In addition, you guys are required to know or memorise the locations of the performers. I'll pass you guys the maps asap.
Also, both of you may be located in sector 5 but both of you are under different in-charge.
Both of you are assigned with a female partner. Likewise, contact details of your partner will be given to you asap. Please also take note that you are to board the same bus as the performers once they are done and to report back to Padang.

Note to all volunteers:
-Please report to the Volunteer's tent at Padang by 4am. Do not be late.
-You are required to key in all your Sector's in charge, assistant/partner, bus driver contact details into your phone before the day of the marathon.
-You are advised to have your breakfast before you report at 4am.
-Bottled water will be loaded onto the assigned bus together with snack packs.
-Lunch will be provided at the Padang at 2pm.
-All volunteers (regardless of your location) are to report back to Padang once the event is over.
-Take note that you are NOT ALLOWED to cross the path of the runners at any point in time.
-Keep a close watch on the performers(some of them are really young). There may be a possibility of the performers feeling unwell (dizzy, heat stroke etc) as they will be standing under the sun from 6.30am-1.30pm to perform. If it happens, report such incidence to your in charge immediately. I reckon this will apply more to Dianah & JunCheng.

Other general info:
-Pick up time for Runspiration teams at point of origin: 5.30am
-Teams to reach designated performance point: 6.00am
-Performance duration: 6.30am-13.30pm
-Pick up time from performance point to Padang: 11.00am-11.15am
-All teams to reach Padang: 12.00pm
-Prize presentation ceremony: 12.30pm
-Event ends: 2.00pm

*Jack's duty is still unconfirmed.

Here are some of the phrases we are advised to say & not to say. (some of them are really funny)
Do say:
"Looking strong"
"Keep it going!"
"Keep moving your arms"
"Nice smile"
"Great legs" (LOL)
"Looking good"
"Way to go!"
"You inspire!"
"You're a winner!"

Don't say
"Pick up the pace!" (Esp early on in the race)
"You're almost there!" (When the runners are just starting the race)
"Having fun?" (when the runners are sweating profusely under the hot sun? you'll get a kick for that.lol)
"Good job. Only 3 more hours!" (yea, rub it in man. ONLY 3 more hours)
Hang in there. Only 20 more kilometres to go! (Hah!)

Alright, all these miscellaneous stuffs are in the volunteer pamphlet.

That will be all. If you still need additional info, contact Jack or me. Thanks!

Hello guys. Gosh I've been posting a lot. Bear with me though...
Anyway, for the girls, xinyun has gladly open up her house for us to put our belongings and to prepare for prom(make up, hairdo etc). Yes, ONLY the girls.

As for the guys, I'm sorry. I have no idea what to do. So I guess the plan is we'll just roam the streets after prom is over. Let's just go Zouk ok. Xinyun say she will feel safe if the guys are there to keep watch. Lol. Nevertheless, we're going as a big group, so I guess it will be fine.

Tag on the board if you have any suggestions. Yup.

On another issue, I'll post the Standard Chartered Volunteer positioning info tomorrow. Guess it will be beneficial to those taking part in the marathon and for those who will be giving the meeting a miss tomorrow.

Reply to tags:
kaidi-No no. We don't have a outing beforehand. The initial plan was to book a room so all of us can get our hairdo, makeup(for the girls) and attire done before we set out for grad night. Since booking of room is cancelled, guess preparation have to be done at home then. Yup.

dianah-book a chalet? the cheapest chalet, coastal sand at sentosa is already fully booked. Unless you want downtown east which is pretty far from sentosa...and no, we do not have an outing beforehand. Only after prom. Lol.

I don't think I need to wait till Friday to determine if I need to book the resort or not.
Guess the result is clear:
Nic, Huanshern, Juncheng & Kaidi-no
Jerome, dianah, xinyun & me -yes.

Less than 8people agree, so no booking of room.

Anybody got other brilliant suggestions to solve the problem of accomodation & preparation for prom?

Hello people,
Appreciate it if you guys can tag back with regards to the resort booking.
In addition, rooms are really limited.
Just a side note- Treasure Sentosa Resort is pretty near the Amara Country Club.
Silosa Beach Resort is pretty far away.
And it will be good if we can have at least 8-10 people who agrees to it. Cost will be cheaper with more people agreeing right.

Another issue is since the resort room strictly stated that max 3 people, why not we'll just use the room for changing and to put our belongings. Basically, we won't be sleeping in it. I reckon we are not going against the rules then? The question I have is are you guys really willing to fork out at least $23+ bucks just to get a room for changing and to put your belongings.

By the way check in time is 3pm and check out time is 12pm the next day.

Let me know latest by Friday. Just tag on the board. If there are less than 8 people who agrees to the booking of resort, I'll not book it.

Thanks!
Shu Rong (:

Time to blog here... LOL
Just updated my blog url on this blog...

Ok moving on to the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2007(why is the name of the race so long?)

Hello guys, Jc has left a message on my tag board regarding the booking of the chalet. (Prolly asking me to pay via my credit card right? Lol. kidding.)

Anyway, I've already check it out. Don't pin our hope on the cheapest resort available ie Coastal Sand resort at Sentosa. I've checked it out and it's fully book all the way till the end of December.

I've check other resorts available in Sentosa. The cheapest will either be Silosa Beach Resort or Treasure Sentosa Resort.

Silosa Beach Resort
Superior Queen Promotion
$190 per night.
Total amount (including GST): $223.63

Apparently, it's stated on the website that max of 3people can be in one room. So I'm not sure if they will be happy to find that we got more than 3 people in one room.

Treasure Sentosa Resort
For 1 night: $250
Total amount (including GST): $269.25

They did not indicate the max number of people in one room. But I guess the same rules will apply on the max number of people in one room-3.

In any case, let me know how you guys feel. If most of us are agreeable than I'll book the resort and make the payment online.

On a sidenote, if you guys are thinking of staying over my house, sorry. I can't accomodate to that. Unless my dad goes overseas. (He kicked up a fuss with me on the couple of time when my whole bunch of sec sch friends came over to stay.LOL.) Maybe you guys can start praying for him to go overseas. HAHA.

Otherwise, let's just find some place to chill out after prom.
Suggestions from me:

Cafe Del Mar
Sentosa's Siloso Beach
More info at www.cafedelmar.com.sg

Tuckshop
Tanjong Pagar Road
For supper with live music
More info at www.tuckshop.com.sg

Home Club
It mostly caters to teens under 18. Basically it's a spin off from London's under 18 club. So I reckon, it should be much safer than the usual commercialised clubs like Zouk or MOS.
Located at The Riverwalk (Clarke Quay)
More info at www.homeclub.com.sg

Spize the Makan Place
For supper. Offering local Mediterranean & Western delicacies.
Located at 409 River Valley Road.

EAT
For supper. (24 hour post party makan place)
Located at 436 Upper Bukit Timah Road

Anyway, will people just tag on the board to give some suggestions? Especially those who have finished your A'level! (stare accusingly) HAHA!! Hello, I'm here posting when I'm still not done with my exams ok! Haha. So yes, if every single one of you don't tag I'll haunt you down. This includes those who are not going to prom. Yes, you are obliged to join us for supper etc. LOL.

Alright alright. I'm as busy as a bumble bee right now. Haha Off to study Biology. Ciao!

Shu Rong (:

Trackists!

Dudes & dudettes out there! A's would be soon over and we can set ourselves free! Haha alright here's an announcement & I hope to get replies soon. Here goes:


Alright those people going prom night, any suggestions for activities after that? We can get the others not going prom to have fun wid us too. Our dear Auntie says no to clubbing 'cos it seems "evil" so feel free to drop any fun ideas. Also, please comment on staying over at whichever venue (eg. chalet? hotel room? or someone's house?)


Please make comments soon so we can plan fast. In the meantime, hope to hear from all of you real soon 'cos I miss the crazy things we used to do. Also, last lap already to those who still have the last paper. Hang in there and give the one last final sprint to the goal. GAMBATE!
