World Kindness Day

2009-11-13T09:49:00.005+08:00

Hey Rotaractors,

How's your school life? Has it been hectic or slack as usual? Have you started rushing for your projects or waiting until the very last moment to push yourself?

Do you know that today (13 November 2009) is a very special day? Did you see people giving yellow daisy to each other or that your friend suddenly "ambush" you by giving you a big hug and say "Thank You"? Did you hear the news this morning about some volunteers giving daisy at MRT stations?

Yup! Today is World Kindness Day. The purpose of today is to look beyond ourselves, beyond the boundaries of our country, beyond our culture, our race, our religion; and realise we are citizens of the world. While we may think of people from other cultures as being ‘different’ when we compare them with our own customs and beliefs, it doesn’t mean that we are any better than they are. When we become friends with someone from a different culture we discover that despite some obvious differences, there are many similarities.

Well, why not take this chance to say "Thank You" to someone who has made a difference in your life or maybe just your friends or family members whom you feel gratitude towards to? Send them an e-card @ http://www.123greetings.com/aff-bin/card/1/103714 or simply message them to say "Thank You".

Let's make today an enjoyable and meaningful day~! Spread the love and kindness around you and not only does you make other people's day, you'll certainly brighten up your day too!

"People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances within our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive." - Joseph Campbell

May you enjoy this very special day.

TGIF (Thank God It's Friday),

Ever wonder how the visually handicapped people carries on with their daily life? How are they able to eat or even move in the dark?

Adapted from Channel News Asia Website (http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/332890/1/.html):

Server Ng Swee Kuen prepares the dining room. She uses her sense of touch to tell the cutlery apart because she has been totally blind for the past 16 years.

Server Soh Sang Hee prepares soup

Do sign up and experience it yourself whereby you are unable to rely on your sight and has to exploit your other senses such as taste, touch and smell during this session.

The details are as follows:
Date: 14th Nov 2009, Saturday
Venue: SAVH

Rotaract Annual Membership Fee

2009-10-22T20:39:00.001+08:00

Dear Rotaractors,

We have heard your feedback about the $5 annual Membership Fee, and we have decided to revise the system a little. The annual membership fee is used for organizing club events which the school might not be able to fund us as well as for club adminstration. It is also under the Rotaract By-Law that members are required to pay an annual fee. Moreover, this Membership fee is different from the induction fee. Induction means that you are an official INTERNATIONAL Rotaractor and the certificate is valid until you are 35 years old. Paying the annual fee only meant that you are an official Ngee Ann Polytechnic Rotaractor for that year only.

Please take note of the following changes.

Annual Membership Fee
1st Semester (April - September) : $5.00
2nd Semester (October - March) : $2.50

Members who have enrolled in the first semester (April - September) are required to pay the $5 within one month of their enrollment. However, members who have enrolled in the second semester (October - March) are required to pay $2.50 within one month of their enrollment. Once the year is over (end of March), you have to pay the $5 membership fee in April if you want to continue as a member.

Members who have yet to pay the $5 membership fee but have signed up with us last semester (April 2009) are required to make the $5 payment by the end of November 2009. If not, you will automatically stop receiving emails by December 2009. This payment can be made anytime during our events and please keep the receipt for your reference.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Take Part in the STOPMotion! Competition!‏‏

2009-09-27T17:42:00.001+08:00

Hi everyone,

The STOP Festival Committee has invited all fellow youths from the Rotaract Club to participate in the STOPMotion! competition. This is an inter-school competition run in conjunction with the S.T.O,P! (Stop the ‘Ouch’, Please!) campaign and conference happening in Ngee Ann Polytechnic this upcoming November.

The “STOP” in “STOPMotion!” stands for “Stop the Ouch, Please!”, and when coupled with “Motion” (a synonym for a movement), it essentially is a call to all to make a public stand against violence and abuse in relationships. It provides a platform where you can let your creative juices flow and come out with a message to speak out against the violence in relationships, such as elder abuse, child abuse, marital/ date violence.

This is a good opportunity for students who are passionate about writing, the arts or causing a social movement. Also, it would be a good addition to their portfolio. Not only will certificates, CCA points and attractive prizes be given out, this can also be reflected as a community involvement project.

A waiver of registration fees is possible for students who are eager to participate yet unable to raise enough funds. Registrations for both the competition and conference are now opened.

To register and find out more information about this event, you may visit http://www.stopcampaign.wordpress.com or http://stopmotion09.wordpress.com/.

Preparing the materials

Picking the beans

Testing one of the station games

What are they so scared about?

The Station Masters
Woah~ Why do the station masters look so shag? It looks more like they were the ones running the race and were exhausted from the run.

Prize Presentation:
At least every group managed to get a prize after the race. =)

Fund-raising Event

2009-04-19T20:48:00.004+08:00

Hi everyone,

Rotaract Club of Ngee Ann Polytechnic is currently selling a book titled "Unriven" by Rahul Keerthi for $5.

Unriven is an intimate collection of poems culled from Rahul's depository of four years. His works are notes gathered from daily life, many inspired by friends who have shared their experiences with him. Rahul paints a vivid description of the trials and tribulations of teenage life. He explores the joy and pain of falling in and out of love, and how our social experiences shape us to become the people that we are today.

Can take a look at http://www.nkfs.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=193&Itemid=98 to know more about the author!

This is really an interesting read and it's definitely worth the 5 bucks! A touching and revoluntionary read!!!

Below are some pictures of the book.

The cover of the book

Contents of the book

All proceeds will be given to the Rotaract Club fund. If you wish to purchase this book, you can contact Sharon at 98194614 and Vivien at 90486438. Thanks!

Visit to the Institute of Mental Health(IMH)

2008-10-20T14:29:00.002+08:00

The visitation to IMH is yet another interesting Professional Development event cooked up for fellow Rotaractors. The objective is to expose ourselves to mental health(both psychological & psychiatric), what services IMH is providing & what role we as Rotaractors can do to help and also to be mentally healthy.

Some of us might think that IMH is a loony house, a place where only loony people will go for treatment. This is where some of us are mistaken. IMH, as its name suggest is an institute that studies and provides services relating to mental health not only mental illness. People of all ages are welcomed for consultation and treatment. Some of the issues of mental health include depression, eating-sleep disorders, relationship problems, medicine addiction, behavioural problems, anxiety & so on. As you can see it covers common mental problems we face whether you’re sane or slightly off your rocker.

Truth is most of us will one day come across these problems, be it ourselves or someone else we know. So the key thing is, we should be aware of them & learn how we can prevent them.

This visitation is a rare opportunity for all of us to experience what goes around in IMH & issues relating to mental health. There will be a briefing, followed by a tour of the institute.

Date(s) of Activity : 25th of October 2008
Time of Activity in IMH: 10am to 12pm
Venue of Activity : Institute of Mental Health Hospital Singapore
Number of Participants : 30

Gathering Location: Outside Block 1
Meeting at 0820 hours, leaving at 0830 hours SHARP

Floristry : Flower Arrangement

2008-06-08T23:18:00.008+08:00

Hi all members in Rotaract Club!

Floristry is a form of art. Its beauty brief but bound to impress. Using only the freshest materials, simple cut flowers and leaves can be woven into a work of art. With its many styles of arrangement, the secret to success lies with passion, patience and a sense of beauty. However, this workshop will only provide the fundamentals and basics of floristry. There will be a brief introduction to the subject matter, the various organizations involved in/with this art and a few species of common flowers will be mentioned.
During the workshop, students will be showed how to make the arrangements in groups then divided to tend to their individual ones. So every student could experience this art. Student participating in this workshop will attain the skills and the ‘eyes’ for beauty. They will learn the various techniques and different styles of arrangement. Once they have mastered this art, the skill is for life. Though it can also be a hobby, but students are able to go beyond that. They can further enhance their skill by pursuing an advance level of floristry in selected institutions or organizations and even start a business later. Floristry is a wonderful career for those who have the passion and patience for it.

Venue: HLM LAB beside room 80-02-02

The date of the activity has been also chosen with care to be during the children’s school holiday as well as the term break of the members. This is to allow the children as well as members to enjoy a day out of their usual comfort zone.

Rotaract History Worldwide 40 years

2007-08-09T01:52:00.000+08:00

Dear Rotaractors, fellow members of the Family of Rotary,

Rotaract will soon be 40 years young and so there is 40 years of
Rotaract history out in the world, some of it written down, some of it
in the minds of Rotaractors and past Rotaractors waiting to be shared
with others.

Could you write a history of your Rotaract Club or Rotaract District?
If not, do you know another Rotarator or past Rotaractor who could do
this?

Which are the oldest Rotaract Clubs? When was your club chartered?

The Rotary Global History Fellowship already has some 3,000 pages of
Rotary History and now wishes to include the History of each Rotaract
Club and District. Some project! The RGHF project started only a few
years ago with the aim of recording the history of the first 50 Rotary
Clubs. Have a look at the site to see what has already been started on
Rotary.
http://www.rotaryhistoryfellowship.org/index.htm

The Rotaract page is
at: http://www.rotaryfirst100.org/library/organizations/rotoract.htm

but lots more Rotaract History is needed to make the site as good for
Rotaract as it already is for Rotary

Rotaractors can also join the RGHF at:
http://www.rotaryfirst100.org/index.htm

Please share this request for Rotaract History with your felow members,
clubs in your district, and other Rotaractors and past Rotaractors you
know.

I look forward to hearing from you.
With kind regards,
Yours in Rotary and Rotaract Service
Tim

Alternative Beats

2007-07-18T14:55:00.000+08:00

Alternative Beats

It is a workshop conducted by Amit Gilboa, an experienced drummer of Middle Eastern percussion. There will be introduction and different rhythmic styles of these instruments in various music genres. This program allows us to learn the art of music and explore in this area which not many have ever experienced or tried before.

In the world of music, many people deemed that by listening to music alone makes themselves feel appreciative on the genres of music, however, there has been an area which was being forgotten and lost. This area is the experience, exploration and interaction with music in another dimension rarely mentioned to anyone in our life.

This course alone can provide to fulfill experience, exploration, interaction and further appreciation to this romantic vision of a lost world of music. Many, people knows how to listen to music, but do not know how to make them, thus it is equally important that we should learn this and explore the other side of our talents. Who knows maybe after this course, some of us are interested into percussions and started a career in percussion music making? There is no certainty but opportunity for us to try out.

Event: Alternative Beats
Venue: Esplanade
Date: 22 July 2007
Time: 11am-12.30pm (90 min)
Meeting venue: City Hall MRT at 10.30am
Ticket price: S$8.00
