Hey peeps!
Sorry about the lack of communication lately, been away for a while and when I came back, had quite a bit of errands to run! Just for the info, I'll be away again from the 11th - 14th of June, but I'll try to reply the emails when and where I can get internet access! Alright! Now for some updates from SEA:
1) We finally are getting in registration forms! As of now, we have many many queries and 'I'm interested' emails from many people, and we're doing follow-ups. However, as of now, we only have received THREE registration forms. So do PRAY HARD that all the interested parties will register, and we'll definitely have plenty! A few pending ones are as follows:
a) Monash are apparently VERY interested. Hoping to get 5 from KL and 5 from Melbourne.
b) NUS will definitely be sending 5. That is, unless we expand the participant limit..we might get more from them!
c) Will most probably be having 6 from Thailand...fingers crossed!
d) Quite a few queries from Indonesia, Phillipines and Australia. Pray for the best OK?
As for Malaysia, I'm devastated to say that none of the Unis have really replied yet! We're going to do more chasing - will keep you all updated!
2) A little feedback from the previous year's participants: To Grace, the topic on Environmental Resposibilities VS National Development, someone has remarked that it should be AND, not VS because it can go hand in hand; and does not have to be mutually exclusive. Just thought you should know. To Fendy! A suggestion has been made - give out posters/put up posters near Sunway, Taylors, Monash, etc...these huge university colleges usually have a lot of transfer students (Australia and others) so it'll be easier for them to come for GYS! Just a suggestion..
That's all for now. People, we really need some publicity done for GYS pls!!!!!! SEA can only do so much, my team is currently flooding other peoples' inboxes and we're spamming the facebook accounts! Do remember, however, that participation is a combined effort from all - esp publicity! There's only so much publicity SEA and PUB can do. We could use all the help we can get alright? Thanks for everything, and happy working!
SPECIAL SHOUTOUT TO GRACE - THANKS FOR REPLYING AN EMAIL FOR ME WHEN I WASN'T AROUND......YOU ROCK!!!!!
Love,
Amy
