TRYBE Shoot Out 2010!

jeremy89632 — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 20:50:17 +0000

Back in the June Holidays, TRYBE invited us to a mini photography workshop in collaboration with IWP Studios and we were happy to be into it. Here is some photos of this event:

The crew having lunch!

The commencement and announcements of this event by Mirabel and Basia!

Joining us today is Jason Leong, the person behind IMP studios.

We were having photography lessons. Like knowing some common camera terms and tips. Like the rule of the thirds and Macro mode and such.

After knowing some stuff about photography and such, we started to go onto streets to start snapping photos.

–

We also took many interesting photos, and one of them is as above!
This one is taken at a small back road alley near Rocher.

This interesting photo is taken at National Library Board (Main)
–

This photo I took when we were street-shopping around when snapping photos, yeah!

We came to a point where we have to end all the fun! We bid farewell to Jason and he left.

We walked about 20 mins for some drinks and snacks, not too far away!

Whole gang of TRYBE volunteers having fun and food!

Cheers!

TRYBE | Dare 2 Dream at Yuan Ching Secondary S2 270210

jeremy89632 — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 08:56:02 +0000

This is my second year running at Yuan Ching Secondary for Trybe, running the Dare to Dream programme, like I did last year.

Students playing with the Cup Stacking game, with an agreement for sweets!
Unforgettable, I have to say!
–

It is on a Saturday and it will be running until 2pm, from 7am.

Like every Trybe event, briefing is something not to be missed, it provides facilitators with valuble information for whats coming up.
–

This year, we will be taking the whole of Secondary 2 of Yuan Ching Secondary 2010.
–

We conducted the usual profiling for students and got to know what they are good in so they can find their future career path in what they are good at.

We also got them to write their names and what they are good in, and particularly for this guy, he is good in everything.
–
For this year in change, we have lots of interactive lessons instead of theory, the plan allowed lots of human interactions and activities.

One such example of a activity, is showing different types of expression of different types of profiles.

Leovine explaining about an activity about to begin.

It goes beyond just, reading, studying and mugging. Activity also includes smell and identifying different types of scent.
–

I would like to wrap-up the whole activity with just the school motto.

Ending Thoughts: I felt that with new practical activities, students understanding level will definitely rise up as compared to the normal theory work. Students felt that they have control of their future and understand their future paths with this programme. This will enable them to find out what they are good at and take steps to improve at it.

Cheers!

Event dated 270210

Visited Trybe Centre at Tampinies recently, had a great meal with the staff at Trybe!

Had lunch there, kindly sponsored by Yat!, an intern at Trybe which got the prata’s from the coffee shop nearby. Which taste great!

After doing some cleaning up at the kitchen.. We headed out for some drinks. Which Mirabel wished to talk to me about some stuff.

The Vanilla Blended which I ordered.
–
Mirabel told me about many things in Trybe that happened and after those, we chat and she gave me a super nice plastic bag worth of items!

Agree with me the packing is so good and neat!

It is a tiny shoe, letter and t-shirt.
–
Lets start off with the shoe.

The shoe writes, Trybe 09′
It is clearly and nicely writtened!

On the inverse side, it says..
Thank You!
–
Secondly, the T-Shirt!

This T-Shirt is ~~XS Size~~ XL Size. And it is quite big for me still. This shirt is nicely made by machine and it is very cooling
It includes ‘Mr Publicity’ behind the shirt. Unique!
–
Thirdly, and most importantly, the letter!

When opened:

The card pops out on my hand and it has the organization’s logo and website on it. Very professionally done!

I will not mention about the content inside So cheesy!!
–
Fourthly, The Singapore Flyer Tickets!

I have never been there before. Now its a dream to take a look at the biggest ferry wheel in Singapore.
(Looks at the ticket, dreamingly..)
–
Thank you for the post Chinese New Year gift, Trybe!

Cheers!

Trybe | Yuan Ching Secondary / Sec 1N1 / YUDI

jeremy89632 — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:01:34 +0000

Once again, its great to volunteer for yet another programme at Yuan Ching Secondary under TRYBE – You Can Do It, and its great to impact the youths in class 1N1. Thanks to all the facilitators and to Dexter for leading the event on that day itself and to all the other facilitators which perfected us into a big team.

During the morning, we had a programme briefing and got started to work and plan out our objectives led by Dexter.

We got into the classroom with smiling faces in the audience on students.

We bought in many exciting activities and programmes – In the end its YOU controlling yourself.
I also managed to get a chance to lead in one of the games – Blow Wind Blow
Here I am participating in another game as well.

Ha, guess me.

We also got them to do a simple pledge, so there won’t be any chances and cheating and to bring our message across.

After that, we went to the core of the programme, which is the character analysis.

We had our ‘Recess’ soon after that and Hey, its break time!

Dont you agree that this is nicely drawn by Joanna?

And than we had a squirrel game, as a form of ‘warm up’ after our activity.

Yeah, and you are on Camera.

Soon after that, we managed to deliver our messages of Pro Positive Living.
Due to the confidentiality of this programme, I cant reveal much of it.

In the end, we played a game involving Orange ‘Dots’, which is to stick on someone who deserve your respect on!

Don’t hide your face away!

Cheers.

TRYBE Volunteer Camp 2009

jeremy89632 — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 01:43:18 +0000

Our camp site is at ACS Barker Road, its great, Thanks to the TVC 09 Comm, and what must I still say, it was great!

As you can see, this is quite late, but its still pretty alright, right?

Camp site is inside the Oldham hall.

Our sleeping location was great, fully airconditioned and such.

Here is more of the Hall location, where we basically learn new skills and bond with others.

There’s a minimart located around here as well.
–
Here is just a simple breakdown of what happened:

We played Captain’s ball with so many things, like Basketball, Tennis Ball and ..

Yes, chicken!

We just kept tossing this chickens everywhere around the area, treating it as captain’s ball, its cold and slimy!

Wrapup and reflection.
–

Some stuff on why TRYBE exist.

We were in the chapel too, it looks great.
–

Morning PT starts at 7.45am, right?
–

We also had a special workshop and we each done a poster on Trybe Values.

–

Min was talking about the 7′ Experience Race, its like an amazing race. Lets see.

We went to places around Orchard Road and there are many people located at different locations.

Br was waiting for our team’s first arrival.

After finshing the game’s and opening the ‘plates’ in correct order in the least times and tries possible, we moved on to the next station.

We went to the next station, which is completing a few task of items within 100 seconds.

Okay, so lets wait for the ‘Go’ signal and shout our names in order once we go, and only 1 name can be shouted at once!

The whole team have to jump on the rope together!

We also have to use our face too look for mentos which is located in a paper plate filled with flour.

After that we had lunch at KFC.
–
After the race, we have addtional activities, and some trainings.

At dinner, it was really special, it actually portrayed servant leadership as the staff’s and volunteers in Trybe actually served us dinner and bring it out for us, and they did it like the first class waitors, I see at hotels! Wow!

They greeted us upon arrival.

The nicely decorated tables.

The desert is nice. Great.

The nice sunflower.

Thats where Jamie make’s her speech and says that it was all about servant leadership, I leader is not about leading and commanding others, its also about serving others.
–
After that, we did a final reflection, wrap up and shared some videos on what projects we have worked on throughout this camps and basically thats all!
Extras

We managed to ‘taupok’ some people, and for those who didnt get it, the next camp is waiting for you! LOL.

Yes, and my wonder girls video lip sync, which should not be there in the first place, is there, now.

Trybe | You Can Do It! at Victoria School – Day 1

jeremy89632 — Wed, 20 May 2009 15:11:13 +0000

This is my 2nd year running for the You Can Do It! event at Victoria School and this school had never gave me a bad impression as the students is bought up very well.
The students is fun to be with, each student is very unique and had very ambitious goals, some wrote ‘boss’, ‘CEO’, ‘Pilot’ and so much more.
With this program, many students have known more about their peers and classmates, this will definitely help them to make longer and trustworthy relationships together. I believe that some of their fellow classmates does not even recognise their peer’s charactors, and with this programme being driven forward, the students will be able to work as a team, a class and for the society in the future.

The Class 2C – Class-shot!

Team shot – highly vibrant and participative pupils

Congrats with your Cert!

My dream is to be someone successful ..

Hello, I will like to introduce ..

What have you learnt?

You got the power!

Trybe | Yuan Ching Sec – Dare 2 Dream

jeremy89632 — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 04:30:38 +0000

I have been with Trybe for almost a year, being their volunteer. This is the first time that I’ve been exposed to Dare 2 Dream, usually I always register for those You Can Do It or Community Waypoint Challenge events.

When I reached Yuan Ching Secondary, Alot of things has been changed since the last time I went, there was new canteens and bigger concept classrooms. The atmosphere was crisp and there is a conducive learning environment.

Being there was really heart warming, I took Yuan Ching Sec 2E1, and the pupils are very enthusiastic and easy to interact with.

They co-operate with our games and activities that we organise and in the end, it will ultimately be them which will be successful in future. By going through this Dare 2 Dream programme, I believe the students had learned about their charactor better, knowing their weakness areas in and try to make changes on those that they do not score well at.
During that Yuan Ching event, I had successfully manage to organise a Blow Wind Blow game and I had learnt on how to control the class emotions and reactions . This will be very useful for me in future.

Thanks to all the facilitators, Like Jovita, Minmin, Leovine, Zuoen and all the other Leads. Like Raffy and Jasmine when we went station to station.
–

–
While learning, the students had lots of fun as well.
We played games:

Got themselves to think ahead about their future jobs:

Have some of students to present their thoughts:
Not only through words, even through actions.

–

To close up, this event at Yuan Ching Sec brought back Experience and Memories and how to conduct even better events in future.
( CATCH iSpace soon ! )

jeremy89632 — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 16:26:13 +0000

To kickstart it all!

I wish to Thank Mirabel for inviting me for this awesome FCBC Christmas Service!
I was quite thrilled that the staff in FCBC was able to plan and cater for such a large audience.
I am delighted to see Trybe Volunteers there too, like Shawn, Jiehan, Henzy, Nicolette (Trybe), Kai and Bingrong ( Just to name a few )
I also wish to Thank Timothy, Shawn and Jiehan for ice-breaking! and Thank you Nicolette (Trybe) so much for the smile (:

At Singapore Expo Hall 9

Timothy on the Left, Im in the centre and Mirabel is on the Right!

This was the photo which I first stepped in at the holding area, which is a place where you can eat, mingle around before you go into ‘ The Pavilion ‘ .

After you step into The Pavilion, things look totally different from the holding area.

Christmas Caroling

Carols~

Celebrating Christmas

After the event was over, Shawn and Mirabel led me to the registration counter, which is called as ‘ Hospitality Centre ‘

and I soon got registered as a member.
Than I met Aik Siang (AES) over there as well! Passed by and said Hi! But I didn’t got a photo of him! After that, I headed to Jiehan and Shawn, and they are playing some games!

When I turned down and look at Jiehan’s hand, this cute Shark smiles at me..

Once again, I hope that you do make yourself the best out of this Christmas, Don’t mind about the recession, no matter how bad the times is, you still have to keep yourself going! If you haven’t, I think its time to think what you have to do for 2009!
