episode #02
People, please bear with my poor english as i have not got used to not writing in sms-lingo.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The week for us flew real fast to friday, 26May, which we have planned to meet up with Mr Ong and Michael and Matthew. Our school, Meridian Junior College, has NO SCHOOL today ( i mean that day, u'll understand. ritez? ) HIP HIP HURRAY!! So, we decided to push forward the meeting time from 1pm to 11.30am.
However, as we need to prepare samples of the products we are planning to sell, me, xinying and liting met at 10.30am at tampines mall. Qiqi had to be in school in the morning due to her leadership obligations (lw:WAHAHAHA) so she was unable to meet us earlier. We then went to NTUC to buy chocolates. hmm. with OUR OWN MONEY. hahaz. because we ate the chocolates ourselves in the end. heez. with the chocolates, we filled a test tube with them and stoppered it with some cotton wool and tied a red ribbon. Besides this, xinying had also prepared a test tube filled with saga seeds and stoppered and decorated in the same way as the other test tube. I have also brought 2 types of test tubes to give Mr Ong and Michael a better idea of how our products look like. One is filled with a bubble solution and is stoppered with a cork with a wire attached to it used for blowing bubbles. The other contains dyed water with sequins and glitter. There is also a thin sheet of transparency with a personalised message in it. n YESH, THESE 2 TEST TUBES LOOK
Since we were early, the 3 of us went to find a seat in the foodcourt of tampines mall and sat down to discuss our proposal and how were we going to present our ideals to Matthew and Michael and Mr Ong. Soon, all of us were here and we started to present Matthew the designs we got people to come up with. Although there were some information to be edited, overall he was rather satisfied with our work. Thus he promised to buy 1000 bookmarks from us to be distributed back in his country at a agreed price. We promised to give the contract and design (edited) of bookmark to Matthew by next saturday which is 3rd June.
With a agreement made for the product and the quantities wanted, and when it will be ready, Hestia and our mentor and VWO moved on to discuss our proposal. Cost prices of our products (bookmarks and test tubes) were checked and used to estimate retail prices. Strategies to attract volunteers needed were thought up. We were planning to make collection of spectacles a game that is similar to 'the Amazing Race' with attractive prizes to be won. This way, we will be able to entice more volunteers to participate with families or friends as a team. The bookmarks' designs were confirmed as 4 main themes. One about SUPERSEED, the organisation while another is on the IN FOCUS program. 2 other types of bookmarks were about Coco de Mer or related to poverty done by primary school children. Mr Kwek had also rejected Hestia's poposal to award CIP hours by the results of the sale of bookmarks. Thus we had to come up with another way to promote the sales of bookmarks.
Besides, there are no major problems in the timeline and financial plan of team Hestia when we went through them together. So, we were given the green light to proceed with our projects...................................................... hehehehehehhehehehehhehehehehehh..
