Agenda 6: Photo sharing, Q&A
Miss Koh showed us photos of the trip last year. We will be going back to Dapo Town again, and we were told that we would be using firewood to cook. We were also asked to remember to keep putting on sunblock, as it is easy to get sun-burnt there, even though it is cold.
Q: Some of the common illness to expect.
A: Food poisoning, which turned to contagious stomach flu (this was due to poor storage of food)
Q: Purpose of trip.
A: We will be building a hostel which will accommodate students and teachers who stay very far from the school.
Q: The possibility of earthquakes.
A: We will not proceed with the trip if there is reported earthquakes. We might be taught earthquake drills in the event that we experience earthquakes during our stay there.

Agenda 2: Debrief on movie screening
The teachers think that it was quite a successful event and the people who made it happen has put in a lot of effort to sell all the tickets and also to push for the selling of the food.
Each committee was asked to send a representative to share with the team what their biggest takeback was from this event. We started with the programme committee. Zhongyao mentioned that it was fun and he enjoyed staying overnight and not sleeping though out of all the movies, he thought that saw 1 was the only nice one. Junping felt grateful for those who did not sleep at all to cover the duties for those who couldn't stay up. Yu ang felt apologetic for sleeping halfway through and added that nuggets were easier to sell compared to hotdogs and it does pay off being shameless. The publicity committee, starting with pinqi said that she enjoyed it as they had time to interact with each other and gavin felt that we bought too much food whereas woonyee went to sleep after finising her duty. We continued with the fundraising committee, yee chuin mentioned that it was a great achievement for team dynamics and amanda was really happy that she managed to sell eight tickets after much persuasion. Ms Fong added that determination works and how much we want something to be successful determines the success rate. Francis said he didn't really know about the whole thing and thus was not really sure about it. Priscilla said she enjoyed toasting the food and talking to alot more people. Jiaxiang said that it was not too bad but we should prepare less movies next time as most people were sleeping by the last movie. Denise said it was fun and she bonded more though she came in late. Our last committee, the logistics committee ended our sharing session with Jacquelyn mentioning that everyone's effort made it possible, though some said that they didn't really played their part, and it was the first time we had so many people in one event. Jiahe suggested that we should ask who can stay up for future events so that they can do their duty first Jermone said he didn't go for the movies but still went to buy the food and also rent the movies. Xiayu ended off by saying that it was fun selling the tickets and she bonded well too.
Ms Fong said that she slept alot after the movie marathon as as didn't sleep much on that day but it was a very enjoyable event and she managed to talk and bond with us and some of us made her think that we could do more than what we thought we could. Mr. Cheng was happy with our fairly enthusiasm and team work when it just started as this is what we have to be like when we are in Yunnan where there would be more difficult times and through such events we would understand ech other better and be able to help each other. He managed to know the J1s better too and get to see our capacity to handle stuff and stress and our ability to do work and Ms Fong said that our experience through this event is much more compared to the money we earned.
Agenda 4: Dates for yunnan trip and reccee trip
Tentative dates for Yunnan trip is 12th Nov to 25th Nov (14 days) OP would end on the 6th Nov so we should leave around 9th-14th and the teachers would help us request for an earlier date for OP so that we can prepare for the trip earlier.
As for the recee trip it would be in September 2nd to 5th. Our overall leader will liase with the teachers and then liase with all the members to send messages across and also with the programme team to decide what to be done on our trip so that the leader can find out if the logistics there are suitable for the programmes to be carried out. The leader would also help us find out where we would go for sightseeing, our hotels, market and road conditions and would be able to have first-hand information about the conditions there. Thus if we have any questions we should pass it to her so that she could help us find out.
A voting was done to decide on who the leader should be.
Results:
Leader: Yee Chuin
Assistant leader: Jacquelyn
Fund-raising committee leader: Jiaxiang
Logistic committee assistant leader: Jerome
Agenda 3: Quotes for Notebooks
