Community Leaders' ConferenceOkay today I did some voluntary work at a huge event called the Community Leader's Conference. There were many Grassroots Leaders coming for this event. It was a big event with reporters from Straits Time and radio station 93.8 LIVE. The Guest Of Honour was Dr Vivian Balakrishnan.
This event was held at Woodlands Civic Centre, Library, the building behind Causeway Point. I was down there the whole day from eleven am to six pm. My job was to usher guests to their seats. There were other volunteers as well and I made friends with them yeah.
The conference was about New Media and the launching of Onepeople.sg portal. It is about how media and technology can affect a community whether in a good or bad way. They discussed and shared issues about blogs, social networking sites and online file sharing sites. How these application can act as a platform for Singapore to engage youths and older generations together. Dr Vivian speech was absolutely neat. The presentation of another guest speaker Dr Rivera, NUS Infocomm & Media Professor, was solid. She shared about her slides on the good and bad of media and internet, in general.
 Above: My volunteer tag. Where as below is a picture of Dr Vivian with me and volunteers [who are nineteen year-old graduates of Yishun Junior College.] They are damn funny.   Volunteer Group Photo. The ex-YJC students are damn funny and easy-going. We played this crappy game which I do not know how to explain. It was super fun lah.  Elise & Hui Ying, both my Campteen friends and volunteers too. about Facebook, Blogger, Youtube and the Onepeople.sg portal.
  Dr Vivian Balakrishnan Oh and this is my 'token' of volunteering. Paper clip magnets.   Overall today I had fun and definitely enjoyed myself with the rest of the volunteers. Oh and I skipped gamelan practice coz of this, sorry ppl.
Oh and yesterday was the Student Council Investiture and Nik's 'favourite' song played twice - A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton. Wth. When the song was played me & Fir could not stop laughing. It was too damn funny. Nik was like 'wtf'.
