NE POSTER

Hey people! This is Shi Ting. NE rep.
I'm sorry, I didn't know about the deadline for the poster until last weekend.

Anyway, because all twenty something of us can't possibly stay back together to stare at a single laptop and do a lame poster, we'll make use of internal economies of scale: division of labour.

All of us will have to do some research (except Justin, Yingwei and I, because we went for the outing) and this information will be included in the poster. So please include reliable info but don't plagiarize.

Please send it to my e-mail (shi_ting7@hotmail.com) by Thursday night. 21st May. FRIDAY NIGHT, 22/5/09.

I'm going to randomly group people to do the following points, and if you want to, you can switch partners with others or whatever. The main thing is that you guys have to send me the information of these 12 points

Place assigned: Jalan Besar

History of place/district:
  1. Why is the place named so? (Shalini, Vada)
  2. Meaning of name (Xueying, Miuyen)
  3. From colonial days till the 60s and 70s till present (Melanie, Hanif, Regan)
  4. Personalities in the past (Steven, Xin Yee)
  5. What was there in the past? (Siti Nur Atiqah, Nabilah)
  6. Past industries/trades in the area (Beatrice, Esther)
Past/Present
  1. Anything of value; Reflections of the importance of place (Suba, Aisha)
  2. Familiar/Historical landmarks (Haiza, Rifhan)
  3. Buildings (new/old); Architecture (Nuraisyah, Hidayah)
  4. Parks/open spaces (Audrey, Ben)
  5. Markets/malls (Elena, Amalina)
  6. Peculiar trades/businesses (Saiful, Joseph)

I'll collate the information from you guys. This won't take much of your time. Just type a few sentences/ a paragraph about your point and send it over.

(If there's really nothing to say about your point, and you're unable to send me anything because Jalan Besar is a really boring place, please still inform me through SMS or something. However, please don't use this as an excuse not to contribute anything!)

We'll be using the photos taken by Yingwei, Justin and I.

We have photos of the Jalan Besar Stadium, Jalan Besar Food Centre, Shophouses, New World Centre, Da Lian Mian store, Xiao Long Baos, etc. So to those people doing research, if it's applicable to your point, you can write about these things.

I'm having slight fever now and I wanna skip school everyday but I probably can't. Oh boooo. Eh wait this has no link.

I'll send the photos and information to Donovan to design the poster, because he seems to have (gay) photoshop skills. Those people with such skills can volunteer to help him as well. The poster should be two powerpoint slides long. (And since it's just the first draft of the poster just anyhow do first? Hopefully can delay and hand up next week)

Additional info:

The final draft will have to be submitted in July, after Mid Year Exams.

The posters will eventually be printed by the NE Committee and will be displayed from 5th August as part of the National Day celebrations.

SMS me if you want to ask me anything! I have unlimited smses. Yay me!
Please cooperate. Thanks! :D
