An update of the progress of the BS Day Celebrations:

From 1 Sept - 30 Sept:

Semestral exam preparations, exams. BS Day 2005 proposal for Student Affairs Department done and submitted. Numerous discussions on programme, venue and date were held. Agreed: The celebrations will be held on 17th Oct.


1 Oct:

The application for booking of facility (Multi-purpose Lecture Theatre 2) was rejected. We felt frustrated. Why was the facility booking rejected?


2 Oct - 8 Oct:

Five key helpers of BS Day 2005 went on retreat in Malaysia. So, a lot of planning was left for Minggen (Chief Co-ordinator) to do.


10 Oct:

Why was the facility booking rejected? Well, the Student Affairs Department had misplaced our proposal. Hence, the BS Day Proposal was re-written and submitted to Student Affairs Dept. Skit planning started. MCs (Fu Yan and Helen) started writing their scripts too. Xinhao started to source for chants for the short Puja session during BS Day 2005. Ven Chun Hui was contacted to conduct a Dharma talk during BS Day 2005.


11 Oct:

Skit script draft completed. Skit and MC rehearsals conducted. (No intentions to advertise, I was really impressed with the teamwork and effort) Xinhao stayed at home to source for chants for the short Puja session. The booking of facility for BS Day was still not approved by the school.
