Project YEAH 2008 Media Launch

10 May 2008

Started the day off by attending the Media Launch of Project Youth Entrepreneur @ Aljunied and Hougang (YEAH). Held at Bishan Junction 8 open gallery at the 3rd floor, there were exhibits from various institutions including Singapore Polytechnic, Nanyang Polytechnic, Temasek Polytechnic, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Innova Junior College, Anderson Junior College, Victoria Junior College, etc. Singer and entrepreneur Genie's music school had a booth too.

Among the exhibits, what caught my attention was the booth by Innova JC. The students were selling custom-made pin badges. According to the teacher, the school had patent over the gadget which was used to make the badges. With one simple touch on the lever, the badge is done. I bought two badges, one of which I penned a quote and gave it to Bao Hui.

Another booth worth a mention was the booth by Anderson JC students. They were selling T-shirts that they had designed, together with this small cute little plant [see picture below]. All proceeds go to the President Star Charity. This applies to Innova JC as well.

Organised by Youth Executive Committees (YECs) of Aljunied GRC and Hougang SMC, the event attracted various grassroots leaders and members of the public. The Guest-of-Honour was Mrs Lim Hwee Hua, Senior Minister of State for Finance and Transport & MP for Aljunied GRC.

After the launch and lunch, went to meet Bao Hui for a neck-straining movie "What happens in Vegas". Had a great talk, as usual, right into the night.
