normal project and slight change to the programme- 16/08/2008

yah.. i noticed the person below me like took up q lot of space for some time liao and since its the first official visit for the NUS side so i blog ba.. hahaha..( shun bian give a bit of details regarding what are the new things for the programme)


firstly, the station ICs changed!!! yeah.. most are taken over by the NUS volunteers so the other MYG ppl can rest and be attached to the residents lo... and i oso think the JC ppl are either preparing for their A levels or having their 1st week at uni.


yup.. so i intro:

-music- evelyn and mui kee
-arts and craft- stella quek and liming
-exercise- pauline and stella see
- food preparation- peixian and lixian (fyi: now no more cooking cuz the residents complain our sandwichs are not nice) -- just joking lah.. i think the home now only allow non- perishable food i.e food that are in a packet and packed by machine like for example apollo cakes.. YEA~


not much changes for the 1st 3 stations.. except the locations of the music and excerise inter- switch- reason because the receational room got better stero and video system and the gathering area got more fresh air. of course, the method of conducting also slightly different cuz of the station ics (due to the personality and individual differences btw the station ics-- yea psychologically speaking), btw we also got new ppl to distribute the name tags.


more major changes are the food preparation.. we now are also not allowed to go up to the 5th floor so we used the "living room" beside the pond instead. yah.. for those ppl who are not sure wat's going on rite.. the programme is planned in a way to encourage the residents to be more interactive (not that there are not already), but actually meant good eye contact, basic etiquite and skills that they hopefully are able to generalise at home.. i have to admit that its quite "luan" (messy) during the transition btw funfit 1 and 2. to clear up, funfit 1 for the food preparation group is to make drinks, arrange food and create a signboard (kinda like a shop) for the other 3 groups to patronise. WHEN THE FUNFIT 1 ends, the other 3 groups will wash their hands and gather at the gathering area. THEN, there will be a 20-30 mins break for food and drinks whereby the residents collect the food and drinks and seat down to eat. AFTER EATING and clearing up, FUNFIT 2 continues. hehe.. sorry i think i din give enough info the other day... so now whoever sees this faciltate ok.. thx ya!


den for funfit 2, the low support play captain's ball ..which is very fun for the residents but also great source for potential conficts =( for the green and yellow group they play some games using hoola hoops and music in the recreational room.


btw, also apologize for the long debriefing session that day.. hahaha.. yah.. i do hope to give a chance for ppl to speak lah.. and also ppl who wanna speak but dunno wanna speak or not.. and also ppl who wanna speak but haven think of wat they wanna say.


i guess this is by far one of my most loso (long-winded) post... haha.
