Registration

Hey all. Please be reminded to complete your registration as a Venture by this Wednesday, 27th Feb 2008. Basically, once you're able to log into the SSA website, you're almost completely registered. The deduction of the subscription fee is automatic, so there's no need to worry about that. As for the approval (which you don't have to worry about also), the Venture leaders will approve your membership online and it'll be official: you'll then be a REGISTERED PELANDOK VENTURE. It's as easy as that. If you are still experiencing any technical difficulties, please contact Mr. Kwang asap. He'll help you to resolve all your problems. That's about it. Thanks and see you soon.

P.S. Thank you so much Mr. Kwang (:

SJI-GES Ventures Combined Activity

Hey peeps. As you all might already have heard (or read from the post below), we're having this combined activity with the GES Ventures this Saturday. Basically, we'll be going to Ubin and learn more about the survival component in our badge scheme via hands-on experience. So what you peeps can do beforehand is read up on survival-related stuff like natural shelter, fire lighting, backwoodsman cooking, animal traps, water collection methods etc. It'll do you real good on the day itself. Well, remember to bring along the necessary equipments as we'll be doing some trekking as well. It's up to your own discretion. Just a little advice: travel light. It helps a lot. Also, bring sufficient money for travelling and purchasing of food and drinks. Here are the other details:

Date : 16th February 2007
Time : 0830 hrs sharp
Place: Changi Jetty (at Changi Village)
Attire : Dri-fit Venture T-Shirt with black shorts and shoes (don't even try to bargain with me here)

Another very important thing to note is that we'll have to go down to SJI on Friday, 15h Feb 2007 for preparation and collection of equipments from the store. We'll meet there at 1500 hrs. Please dress appropriately as you'll be on school grounds on a school day. Be there if you can. Hope you all realise that the preparation is as important as the activity itself, if not more. So yep. See you peeps on Friday. Thanks.
