War victory dansala!

Amazed by the great patriotic victory on the 19th of May 2009, we planned to give out a dasala. Dansala is where we collect money and make food and give it to passer by's....

We made 40 leters of mixed fruit nectar.... It was a bomb! And since it was directly after the vesak dansala there was a good responce to it....

Vesak Dansala

A dansala is an opportunity we get to provide food/drinks to people who go about the city to see the beautiful vesak sights. Inorder to do this we had to collect money by visiting people and telling them about our plan. We collected 11000 rupees, which was more than enough. This is the third time my friends and are organizing such event. We are giving chickpeas and nectar, which i think is a pretty awkward combintaion but yes!

We created a banner which looks pretty cool.... Photos will be uploaded soonish!

Hoping to have a blast during vesak (eventhough we are spposed to observe sil! )

One of my main goals in this is for non Sri Lankans to join me with this.

The big day came finally! I was amazed by the quick servings we did! I managed to squeez some of my friends from their busy schedules.... Ruwinda Gehan and Seong and Umeshan made it, it was nice to see unity in diversity ih a vesak dansala! The goods went like hot cakes, and we were quite happy.....

Photography

After MUN i had to select an elective. I selected photography as an elective. They were in the process of developing a Pin hole camera. The camera is simple but creative. My pin hole camera was not bad as a starter. The photos i took with it were upto a particular standard, and Mr. Lokwood was impressed with my pinhole photography. The process is simple, you take a tin and cover its inner side with black paper and make a hole on the outer side. This will allow the light to come in dirent on to the photography paper.

Community fund raiser

We the members of Leo Club raised 5000 rupees fpr community service. We raised this from a cricket match against the Leo Club of Kolonnawa.....

MUN 2009 OVER!!!!

MUN, my elective at OSC had the annual conference at school and at the Intercontinental Hotel.
I was in the second commitee and i had to do my research on three topics concering the economy of the world. I was a delegate of Malaysia, representing the second com. As far as i can remember one was on uneployment and the impact the fiscal policy has on it.

It all started with filling in my FPS (foreign policy statement). It's basicaly a statement in which one writes their country's stance.

It was a whole new experience for me as a first timer at MUN. It was totaly abstract and the way it was organised made me proud of my own school, as it was organised by OSC. The first day was kind of wierd as it was a whole new concept for me. day one is all about caucusing. and we finished all three reslolutions.

My main goal was to help the delegates in coming up with a good resolution, and i did so. Even though any of our resolutions didn't get passed cause of the over whelming majority the other resolutions had. I still feel great and proud cause i contributed something which helped us all.

It was about thre hectic days, with no rest at all. But all in alll it was a job well done. and i miss all those times i had at MUN. :D

Sun Flower Village

Sun Flower village started on the 19th of Feb, for the first time in the semester, the turn up wasn't that awesome but there were about 36 students from school......which is a good turn up. I had to mark the attendence and made a new spread sheet

MUN practice debates :)

There were three practice debates held at OSC........And all of the deates were pretty educative as far as MUN was concerened.
MY country is Malaysia an there were three topics to be debated on the three days. I researched and i did contribute towards the corcesing.

Am in the second com and counting to the conference day
