Hey ODACers!
I shall update this dying blog (":
It's Friday & it feels weird when we don't have to attend CCA.
I really miss every single one of you & all the fun times we've had together. ):

Soooo I was wondering, on Wednesdays & Fridays, if you guys are interested, we can all meet up in the cafe to study tgt and inbetween, we can go peep at the juniors do their stuff. hehe. (: But of course, I think probably all of you are suffering from post-exam sickness where you are damn sick of your books.

So this study session thing will commence on 29th of July, which is a Wednesday, & we would have gotten back all our exam results & feeling the stress t MUG! (29th of July is also Joanne Chen's birthday, so I can bring my macbook t school & we can all webcam w her & wish her HAPPY BIRTHDAY because she will be in Perth alr by then (": )

Hope t see all of you there! Because your Vice Pres misses all of you )': (awwww.)

Bike Hike

2009-04-20T17:29:00.002+08:00

hey all,

As some of you may have known that i am currently organising a night cycling together with hc oac and tiong bahru cc youth grp, so i am here to publicise it to everyone.

Firstly, i would like to emphasize that this activity is NOT a SAJC odac activity and participating in this event is purely on your own accord and/or parents' consent and we(me, hc oac, tiong bahru cc youth grp, organisers) will not be responsible for any mishaps or accidents.

This activity will be a night cycling carried out on 30 may 2009 night approximately 9pm at east coast park. we will be cycling along the main roads of singapore covering and passing by the city, vivocity, jurong, KAP, dhoby gaut, hougang, tampines, changi village and back to ECP in the morning, thus we are almost covering most parts of singapore. Along the way, we will be having some pit stops to take a rest and also have some light snacks or supper.

For this bike hike, i guess a certain level of proficiency in cycling is needed because this event may be a little dangerous considering that we are cycling on the road and it is at night where the visibility is low. the registration for this night cycling cost $20 which includes the bike rental with hind lights, event shirt, goodie bag, insurance.

If you are interested or have any queries, you can come and ask me personally or to obtain your registration form.

For the J1s, those of you who are interested, please fill up the registration form and pass it to me together with the $20 on wednesday (22april2009).

Thanks, hope to see good response. :)

(N.B. Notice for wednesday activity will be up tmr)

Money Matters...

This is just a reminder for all ODACers who have not paid for the shirts..
The total cost is $22. $15 for the printing of the white ODAC shirt as well as the black shirt which is plain when received. The printing of the black shirt cost $7 after much bargaining.

For those who have not paid for either of the above components mentioned, PLEASE PAY GERMAINE asap because it is not nice going around and hunting people down for money...

Thank You

ECP cycling

2009-03-30T19:52:00.002+08:00

hey all.

The details are as follow:

Date: 1st April 2009

Meeting time/venue: 3:15pm foyer/porch (Bus will leave punctually at 3:15pm, no waiting for late comers) (One-way transport only)

What to wear: Dry fit orientation tee (J1)
White ODAC tee (J2)

Things to bring: Backpack (compulsory!), journal, 2 x 500ml water bottles, poncho, snacks, running shoes, money for bike rental (approximately $6 to $10)

What we will be doing
This time I don't think we will be cycling that far. Instead of cycling towards the LTC campsite first, we will cycling to the other opposite end of ecp which is the big splash part. After that, we will make a U-turn and ride until the LTC campsite. This activity and the distance will be subjected to the weather and time we have. In the event that we are behind time or wet weather, we may have to cancel/postpone/head back to ECP, but we hope that will not be the case. :)

Please familiarise yourself with the routes from the below websites:
http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=1.301167,103.914099&spn=0.009696,0.013819&z=16

As we understand that some of you may want to deposit some of your school stuff before leaving for ECP so as to lighten the load (you are encouraged to), we will be opening the ODAC store for everyone to deposit their belongings there. Athalie will open the ODAC store at 2:30pm on wednesday.

check out this website for information on how to pack your backpack.

http://www.rei.com/expertadvice/articles/pack+backpack.html

this to learn how to hoist your backpack

http://www.rei.com/expertadvice/articles/hoist+loaded+backpack.html

Once you pack your backpack, how do you safely get that big honker on your back? REI recommends these steps:
With your pack sitting upright on the ground, use one hand to grab the pack's haul loop. (That's the webbing loop on top of the pack.)
Using a wide stance with knees bent, slide the pack up your thigh and let it rest. Your thigh should be roughly parallel with the ground.
Steadying the pack with one hand, slip your other arm and shoulder through one of the shoulder straps, pushing your shoulder in as far as you can.
Without any abrupt or jerking motions, swing the pack onto your back and slip your arm through the other shoulder strap.
Buckle Up! Buckle the hipbelt first, then cinch down the shoulder straps. Adjust the load-lifter straps (located at the tops of the shoulder straps) to pull the pack inward. Lastly, buckle the sternum strap. You're set to go! When you're ready to remove the pack, be sure to first loosen the shoulder straps.
Tip: As you walk throughout the day, tinker slightly with the tightness of your hipbelt and shoulder straps to help your hips and shoulders feel less fatigued.

this is to help you find the fit of the backpack

http://www.rei.com/expertadvice/articles/backpacks+adjusting+fit.html

Six Steps to a Great Fit
Your goal is to have 80% to 90% of the load weight resting on your hips. To achieve this, start by putting about 10 to 15 lbs. of weight into the pack to simulate a loaded pack. Follow the steps below in front of a mirror. Get a friend to help if possible, or visit an REI store for more assistance.

Step 1: Hipbelt
First make sure all the pack's straps and hipbelt are loosened.
Put the pack on your back so that the hipbelt is resting over your hip bones.
Close the hipbelt buckle and tighten it.
Check the padded sections of the hipbelt to make sure they wrap around your hips comfortably. Keep at least 1" of clearance on either side of the center buckle.
Note: If the hipbelt is too loose or tight, try repositioning the buckle pieces on the hipbelt straps. If this doesn't solve the problem, you may need a different pack (or hipbelt).

Step 2: Shoulder Straps
Pull down and back on the ends of the shoulder straps to tighten them.
Shoulder straps should fit closely and wrap over and around your shoulder, holding the pack body against your back. They should NOT be carrying the weight.
Have your helper check to see that the shoulder strap anchor points are 1" to 2" inches below the top of your shoulders.

Step 3: Load Lifters
Load-lifter straps are located just below the tops of your shoulders (near your collarbones) and should angle back toward the pack body at a 45-degree angle.
Gently snug the load-lifter straps to pull weight off your shoulders. (Overtightening the load lifters will cause a gap to form between your shoulders and the shoulder straps.)

Step 4: Sternum Strap
Adjust the sternum strap to a comfortable height across your chest.
Buckle the sternum strap and tighten until the shoulder straps are pulled in comfortably from your shoulders, allowing your arms to move freely.

Step 5: Stabilizer Straps
Pull the stabilizer straps located on either side of the hipbelt to snug the pack body toward the hipbelt and stabilize the load.

Step 6: Final Tweak
Go back to the shoulder straps and carefully take a bit of tension off of them. Now you're ready to go!

look at this if you are considering a new bag

If anyone has any queries or suggestions pls feel free to contact me or Si Jia; the ICs for tmr's activity.

collaboration with hwa chong junior college on organization of night cycling

2009-02-10T23:55:00.003+08:00

hey all,

hwa chong oac together with tiong bahru community centre youth executive committee (YEC) are organising a night cycling trip around s'pore covering places such as west coast park, east coast park, woodlands etc. The planning will start in early March and the actual activity will most likely take place in the beginning of june. The organization of this event requires a huge commitment and of course the incentives are equally rewarding, CIP hours, inclusion in SGC and most importantly the thrill of night cycling and the enthusiasm and anticipation of organising and having the sense of achievement when the event is a success.

If you have any queries such as our job scope, whether we have to pay etc, pls approach me to clarify.

Pls let me knw by 16 feb 2009 if u are interested. Hope there will be people who are interested.

shirt design for the free shirt

2009-02-04T21:00:00.004+08:00

ODACers... this is the proposed design for the free shirt that we will be getting.(sorry for the small picture) It will be black in colour. The material of the shirt is not known but hope everyone will like it. The printing of the design on this shirt will be inexpensive, probably less than $5.

I thought of keeping this shirt simple so please give suggestions(if you have) and your views on this.

Thank You :)

i have already placed orders for the shirt and there was an promotion going on so its buy 1 get 1 free. Since the free shirt will be different from the shirt that we are paying for...it will mean that we will have another plain shirt so if we want to make another shirt than we will juz print onto the free shirt.

FYI, the shirt design is:

Front: sch crest
Back: the design
Material: cotton
Colour of shirt: white

So....PLEASE pay GERMAINE $15 for the shirts by next week.

Thank you

cycling in ecp - changi village

2009-01-27T01:32:00.003+08:00

hey all.

happy chinese new year to all!!!

We shall be going for our long awaited cycling trip tgth as ODAC on wednesday. The details are as follow:

Date: 28Jan2009

Meeting time/venue: 3:15pm foyer/porch (The one way transport bus will be leaving at 3:15pm sharp)

Destination: East Coast Park (ECP) & Changi Village

What to wear: ODAC/PE tee and running shoes

Things to bring: Backpack (compulsory), journal, 2 500ml water bottles, whistle, poncho,
torchlight, snacks, money for bike rental (approximately $6 to $10)

What we will be doing
Travelling to ECP by chartered bus to carpark c3, near marine cove. start cycling from ecp towards our LTC campsite, MOE campsite. then along the perimeter of changi airport and finally changi village and also back.

We hope to complete this in like about 3hours. In the event that we are behind time or wet weather, we may have to cancel/postpone/head back to ECP, but we hope that will not be the case. :)

Please familiarise yourself with the routes from the below websites:
http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=1.301167,103.914099&spn=0.009696,0.013819&z=16

http://www.nparks.gov.sg/cms/index.php?option=com_visitorsguide&task=parks&id=14&Itemid=73

If you are looking at the map provided by google, our starting point will be near the expressway marker 10B. On the other hand, the maps provided by NParks will only show the routes in ECP but not the 2nd half of the route.

As we understand that someone of you may want to deposit some of your school stuff before leaving for ECP so as to lighten the load (you are encouraged to), we will be opening the ODAC store for everyone to deposit their belongings there. Will let you know again what time you all can go to the store. :D

hope that 1st day of sch turns out fine for everyone. anyway, i'm here to update everyone regarding what's going to happen on wednesday 14 jan.

on 14jan wednesday, we will be having our open house from 12pm to 3pm. we will be setting up a booth. (Venue will be let known tmr) We will be giving our pebbles with the word 'ODAC' designed/pasted on it, done by JOEY! (*clapss*) Ariel will be making display board/s depicting our Vietnam trip and Jason will be doing up a video on ODAC. (*cheers*) As usual, we will be setting up our tent and displaying various items such as 1st aid kits, banners, etc. Everyone would have to tend the stall (maybe except the OCIP ppl). I will be putting up the roster tomorrow..

After the open house has ended, we will be having a short pt session. I will discuss with the teachers on what the activity will be and hopefully it may be a lighter session.

Please wear your ODAC tee and shorts on that day, with running shoes, a 500ml water bottle for the activity.

Clarification on 17nov trek

2008-11-17T23:36:00.000+08:00

Dear odacers,

I apologised for the late notice concerning the postponing of today's activity as i only received the call from the teacher at about 11:30am and it was the fastest i could disseminate this news to everyone. Due to the heavy rain that was occuring at many parts of Singapore, especially at Macritchie Reservoir which is also the Central Catchment Area, we have no choice but to postpone the activity as some parts of the routes will be flooded and muddy, making it impassable. Moreover, it wouldn't be a wise choice to wait for the thunderstorm to subside as the rain stopped only at about 2pm.

I understand that most or practically everyone of us were on our way including some who were already there and a few bus stops away, hence having to make a detour back home or getting caught in the heavy downpour. I seek your understanding in this abrupt and last minute decision and always be prepared for such scenerios in future. Hopefully, we are able to carry out wednesday's trek smoothly. The postponed date for today's activity will be decided on wednesday after the trek.

Thank you

Yours sincerely,

ODAC windbreaker!

2008-11-05T20:17:00.000+08:00

hey people!

since i had heard of lots of people wanting to make a ODAC WINDBREAKER for the up coming year end trip and using it during lectures and cold windy morning and maybe it can be used to substitute for the ugly poncho

jason and i have went down to a printing shop at beach road to check out the price and all
thats the cheapest store we went to
cause i went with the others to check in shop in queensway, army market etc
and that printing shop offers the most resonable price and quality

so i will be bringing the 2 sizes( S and M) on friday for you all the try on

those that are bigger in buid will need to wait till the end of the month(meaning before vietnum trip) before you all can get the windbreaker with hood as they do not have the size L and XL

so i was thinking priority goes to those with OCIP?

i need to confirm the size by friday and the design you all want by friday too before sending it in so that OCIP people going on the 14th will get it on the 13th.

1 windbreaker with printings will cost $30

i have check with the canoeist already their is like $28 so i guess it is quite alright for use as ours have hoods

this are the designs

FRONT

BACKFRONT(with hoods)

BACK(with hoods)

we also need you all to choose between the logo that will be put on the left chest area

2 design to choose from

DESIGN 1

DESIGN 2

This is the font that will be use and be printed on the back of the windbreaker
