hello everyone, this is pertaining to the chalet. PLEASE READ THIS AS THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.

as you all know (hopefully), the price each person has to pay for the chalet has increased to 18$ per person from 15$. this is because Aranda does not allow us to consult public catering, and instead, they provide their own catering services, which is, of course, more expensive. we do not really have a choice because if we are caught with public catering, we will be fined 300$. so that's why we have decided to go for Aranda's catering for the first day of the chalet only, and this is due to several reasons:

1. Main comms of respective schools have leadership training camp and will only be able to come on the first day of the chalet.
2. on the second day, it has come to our attention that several people will be going clubbing, so it will be useless to have catering when so many people will be gone when they have paid for the catering.

also, the reason why we chose not to have a barbeque is because of the problems we have faced during our Rinku GL chalet, where there was insufficient and expensive food and we do not want to face this problem again, so please understand our decision. also, there were some conflicts during the barbeque, as it is very difficult to appease so many hungry people when only a few who wish to volunteer to cook, plus, there's only one BBQ pit.

that said, we shall go into more details about the chalet and it's cost. the chalet itself costs $513.60, because it is during peak period. besides this, the catering costs 516$, which amounts to approximately 1030$.
first and foremost, you guys should really be grateful and thank dolyce for coming up with the cost of everything all by herself, as we do not think that anyone would be willing to come up with such a big amount first.
with that said, some of you have not made things easy by:
asking if you can pay less if you do not eat the catered food/do not stay in the chalet.
confirmed that you're coming and cancel in the end.
keep nagging for BBQ.

if you actually think about it, just by paying ONLY 3$ extra, you are confirmed being fed for the first night of the chalet, which is cheaper than eating out.
we know some of you really have plans that clash with the chalet that you cannot cancel, but since you have confirmed your presence in the chalet at an earlier date, we think it's only right you pay the same amount as the rest, because if you don't, dolyce will be the one covering the cost for you. for this, we will give leeway here and there AFTER the chalet (after discussion between the organisers).

c'mon guys we really need your cooperation in this, as we are working very hard to make this chalet as fun as possible for you guys. please spread the word about this post to other Rinkus, and this would be greatly appreciated. thank you very much, and we look forward to seeing you on Monday :)

SPORTS DAY IS ON TUESDAY
MEET @ 6
ASTROTURF

Labels: brendon

HELLO ALL! :DD

this week sports' day is on MONDAY (tomorrow).
bring your own soccer ball, basketball, and whatever balls alright :)

Labels: brendon

hey everyone, brendon here! first off, i'd like to apologise on the failure of what we call 'sports day' today, mainly cos there was no proper planning, and honestly i can say i kinda thought more for myself than for the whole rinku as to what activities to do and stuff :/ so after some thinking i've made sports day more 'structured' in a sense that there's a proper meeting place, time, etc. so here's the new, and hopefully improved Rinku sports day:

1) MEETING TIME 6PM @ ASTROTURF
2) ACTIVITES SHOULD STOP BY 8:15PM
3) DAY OF 'SPORTS DAY' FOR THE WEEK TO BE STATED IN BLOG ON SATURDAY (by me, hopefully)

this is what i've come up with so far. as for activities, im thinking if i should make it a fixed activity per week OR free & easy. note: if it's free and easy, please make plans and co-ordinate with others as to who's bringing the balls, etc. having the mindset that others will definitely bring something may cause you to end up with nothing to do at all! do give me feedback and suggestions on what else i can improve on, and many apologies to those who felt bored/hungry at the later stages of today due to having nothing to do/waiting for others to finish up :/ ciaoozzzz

okay just to clear any confusion you guys have..

SPORTS DAY IS ON TUESDAY THIS WEEK

but! there's soccer on MONDAY as well. so for any of you who have too much energy and wish to burn off some.. GO FOR BOTH DAYS HAHA. (but of course, Tuesday is more important hehe :B)

SEE YOU GUYS THERE :)

Labels: brendon

okay this is in response to a certain few who have brought up the issue of not being able to make it for the weekly monday sports day thing. so how does tuesday sound? or we can actually do different days for alternate weeks or something. cos really not easy to accomodate to so many people, all with different schedules :/ share your opinions through the tagboard yeah? ciaooo

Labels: brendon

hey peopleeeeeeee!
i was thinking of making every monday a 'soccer day' thingy for rinku. anyone up for the idea? :B okay maybe it can be more of a 'sports day' thingy with like basketball and other stuff, so let me know what you think yeah? :) and of course, events like these are always followed by dinner! :D so just let me know of what you think on the tagboard or whatever hehe. ciao!

one suggestion for a Rinku outing (by chester):

NIGHT CYCLING on MONDAY NIGHT

you guys say you want outings? then stop waiting for people to plan/just saying you want outings! PLAN SOMETHING
YOURSELF! :B it can be anything from a day at the beach, or just dinner. no one's gonna care, cos all that matters is we get to
see each other and enjoy the company, no? :D where's your initiative peoplezzzzz. RESPOND TO THIS
PLEASE, and most importantly, SPREAD THE WORD!!

p.s. i'd love to plan something for you guys but im going away like soon and if the organiser isn't even around for the outing it's
damn ._. so yeah, WHEN I GET BACKKK OKAAY!! ciao!

hey everyone, i would like to bring your attention to something. just found out that damian's father has been hospitalised

thoughts and prayers. OKAY?! :/

that aside i hope the study week has been productive (honestly, mine hasn't :/) study hard people, approximately one
more week!! :D (except for the darn year threes bummer huh aren't you all jealous hehe). take care people, and
good luck! :B
