Graduation Party: Help needed for location!

Guys, 

We might not be able to have the graduation party at the intended location cos Tracy has some family guests. So we have to find a new location.

Any Ideas?

Ideas give so far include...
1. Have another chalet
2. NUS...
3. East Coast Park

Anyways this time around, We might not have a BBQ. We where thinking of having the same style as the last day of school party... aka someone will just deploy others what to buy. 

But in the mean time, just give some ideas and comments.

Post Commencement Dinner

What is it?
A dinner directly after ceremony on Commencement Day itself. 
NO! It is not the Graduation Party which is supposed to be held on a weekend soon!

Where is it?
Place Undecided. Good Suggestions: Holland V or IMM?
If you have anywhere in mind please comment.

Who might wanna go (aka you have registered)?
Leon , Emelynn, Joanne, Sarah, Jelena

If you haven't confirmed attendance, you can do it here! Just comment to this post.

A.O.B. (Any Other Business)
1. Jelena has highlighted that some of us want to go back to geo department for photo taking. This means, dinner will probably be later. But the good news is... we can 'pig' at UCC... cos of the refreshments.

What is this blog about?

Okie all, this is going to be a 'trial run' to see if the blog system suits our class.

Introduction
Well firstly, this idea is not permanent. Secondly, this idea will help reduce the amount of emails in our mailboxes. Thirdly, this method is not a retaliation towards the new yahoogroup that was set up. Its just a trial to see if it is more convenient.

How does this blog work?
If you have an outing, you can add a new post. Then anyone who wants to register his/her attendance or have queries on the outing, just simply add to the comments. In this way we reduce the need to click different emails at the same time reduce the number of emails. Of cos, if you got stuff to introduce the class (such as a youtube or a joke), you can also post it up here.

The main impetus to why I am setting up a 'blog and comment' way to communicate with you all is because, I am too sick of worrying that nobody check email or email refuses to work (trust me, that has been a problem for the pass 1 week). Furthermore, this system allows us to browse total people going, comments, similar post on a topic all at one go.

Get the basic idea?

Ways to make this blog a success.
1. PLEASE TELL THE REST ABOUT THIS BLOG
2. Use RSS feed on the blog?
3. I will make it a private blog once this idea is deemed plausible
4. Blog more stuff for fun! If you want to blog ask me for the password and id k?
5. Please provide constructive comments. Do not 'free ride' on someone else's thread.
6. For now link it to your blogs haha!
7. Lastly be active and comment. O yar. please sign off with a nick or name we know you by. 

Thanks
