Apologies

Hi to all who have been closely following this blog,

First of all, I would like to apologise for the stagnation of the blog. I know that much have been promised about, and you are deeply anticipating the success of this event as well. However, it is a regret that we have met with obstacles which determined the break of this event. Initially, we needed sponsorships of quite some amount before we can proceed with the event, but two long months have passed, and results have been worse than dismay.

We are still striving hard to secure any possible sponsors for the event. We have not forgotten about this, yet. It will be the sore of my life if I do not see this go through perfectly.

Once again, I deeply apologise for the failure thus far.

Confirmation of Pioneer Night.

Hey all Pioneers,

Great news! Pioneer Night has been approved in principle by the college! WE ARE GOING BACK TO SCHOOL, DUDES!!

Well, okay. here is the cruncher. Ticket price will be set at $55.

I know just basing on the venue alone, you ppl might not agree with the price. But as I have explained, the cost of the tickets can be justified. We are using only the best logistics for this event alone. Good food, great settings, aesthetically and program wise, amazing emcees, wonderful performances, and not to mention great company, your friends, your teachers and all. Minimally, the hall will be air conditioned.

Think about it in this way, if we were to hold it in a hotel, the price of the tickets will increase to at least $75-$85. What we want to do is to create the same feeling you will get in the hotel in the college, with a little more than what the hotel can offer. Think about the classes you used to have, the notice boards which you have created, the tables you have vandalised, the basketball courts you have played on, the track and field where you ran on. See all the things which you have sorely missed, think of the times you enjoyed. savouring the nostalgic past and memories, tingling your senses with the excitement of being in school is definitely not what the hotel can offer.

Believe me, it will all be worth while.

Sales start from today, book your tickets now by emailing us at jlcorp.sg@gmail.com .

Please include your personal particulars:

a. Name
b. NRIC (this is to facilitate entry on day of event, preventing anyone from crashing.)
c. Contact Details (we will pass the tickets to you when it is out.)
d. Class

If you would like to be with your friends, send in a bulk order (10 to a table) together with their particulars.

We only have a limited number of seats for the event, so hurry, and place your orders now!

Hope to see all of you there!! Take care all Pioneers!!

Questions and Answers.

dear Pioneers, i can seriously say that i m really excited to see such enthusiastic participation in the blog, hahh. this is going to be such a blast!

to answer a few questions here:

1.About us - Hah, mysteries shrouded about who we are. we are only two very enthusiastic Pioneers, named Leo and Joey, from class of 2003. we are not actually part of the alumni proper, but it was us who initiated this idea to the school. even as of now, we do not function in the alumni, but as somebodies who really want to bring tho school to its glory.

2.Food (halal-wise) - this is quoted from our caterer, Purple Sage Creative Catering (www.purplesage.com.sg visit them for more information) "We are not Halal certified, however, we are a no pork, no lard caterer with our preparations and meat items sourced from Halal certified suppliers." i do not know if this is proper Halal food, so muslims, please advise.

3.License - well, this is an issue which we are still in discussion on. we do not know if a license is required for a college event (if the college lists it out as a college event, it will be under the arms of the college). thus we will have to ask the relevant authorities on this matter.

4.Booze - this is tricky. see, in college, alcohol is not allowed, so is smoking and drugs, hahh. we have to comply with the college rules and it will be dangerous to try to risk it. although i will try to push for limited consumption of champagne, say, one glass each. champagne will not be enough to make one drunk (i hope, and hope that the college can see it from my point of view). however, if we do not hold this event on college grounds, then we will be able to get alcoholic drinks in.

5.How are we going to reunite the older batch (question from KR (class of '02))? - this is where we need the help of older batches like you, KR. as mentioned, we are from the year '03, therefore it is only likely that we remain contact with our year's classmates. we are hoping to depend on the power of word of mouth to convey our event to everyone, so as to draw in ex-Pioneers from even the first batch. to get them to the event, first they must know about the event, so everybody! Help PROMOTE our cause! ^^

6.The college's role and function - i m not sure if this is appropriate to mention, therefore i shall not divulge too much. there is only one thing i can say to set the picture right: the alumni and the college has thus far been quite dysfunctional on the alumni circle, the database owned by the college only contains 50 email addresses of ex-Pioneers. it will be suicidal if we can only depend on that limited information (God bless the internet!). thus we are working mostly out of the college's boundaries (meaning the both of us, Joey and Leo), and as partners to the alumni committee. we will be team to make this night happen. we will be the ones solely in charge of the running of the event, but still, this has to be recognised by the college to work, so we will still need to update our progress to them time to time. (apologies to any staff of the college's governing body, this is not meant to be offensive.)

7.Price - lastly, one big question everyone is concerned with. i cannot ask you to blindly pay your tickets and ask no questions, only you can judge the worth of the tickets. i can only assure you here that however much we charge, we can certainly justify the price you pay. first of all, perhaps that this is the once in your A'levels graduate life that you can get to see people whom you have lost contact with, friends you once hang out together with, the guys/gals whom you had so secretly admired for such a long time, teachers or staff who had made one of your exciting days in college, that is probably worth something, is it not? but rest assured that we will charge reasonably, for after all, you are not billionaires to extort money out of, hahh.


well, this are all the questions so far, feel free to email us for any other matters as well (jlcorp.sg@gmail.com).

but wait a minute, i now have two questions for you people instead.

1.as mentioned before, we may hold our event in FortCanning if the college fails to provide us with their grounds, but there has been a major issue resisting us to take the idea up immediately, namely the RAIN issue. thus i would like to ask: what is your take on the venue at FortCanning? assume for a moment that we have decided on FortCanning, in an event where it rains, what can you suggest that we do?

2.we will like to include items/performances by ex-Pioneers, bands, skit, dance, sing, we welcome all. this is to make the program more 'Pioneer', it is a night by us for us. if anyone of you is interested in performing or just bring laughters (no insults intended ;p), or you feel that your friends have the talents to perform, please sent in your intended item to us. but because the response for this segment has been very cold, i will be glad if there are any suggestions on the program from you peeps which you might think can be improved on.

Thanks again for the warm response to the blog! get more of your friends to visit us ya? Happy New Year everybody!!
