Video Camera

Hey everyone..

I managed to get hold of a video cam.. Do get back to me when you guys need it.. It's now in my hall.. As I had mentioned earlier, I've got no idea how to transfer those files.. When it's recorded, it's in .mod.. haha.. We can settle that later lah eh.. There're two batts and my card can only hold to abt 2hrs of normal recording and 5hrs of economy recording.. But I'm not sure of the quality of economy recording though.. Anyway, I hope it will suffice..

Personalized Cards

Hey Guys,

Update on the cards. I found 8 by 5 inches plain white cards @ $1.95 for 50pcs. Reckon that's pretty good.

Anisah, If we use these right, then what about the "return" cards for the kids in KC? Should we get 2pcs per student so that they can get something tangible back from the kids in the orphanage? Plus, this makes up one activity that we can do when we're in Thailand! ;)

Video Cam

Hi Homerunners,

My video cam can only last for 15 min. Will continue my search for one.

Good News : Ziplock Bag

Hi Homerunners,

The supplier has agreed to sponsor 200 ziplock bags of size 15"x15" (38.1cm x 38.1cm).

Jason

Video Camera

Dear all,
I've managed to borrow a camera that can video for about 30-45minutes.
I suppose this is okay for the KC visit but not good enough for the trip.

Anyone else have a better one that can last longer?
If not, we'll just have to bring more video cameras or XD memory cards to Thailand.
In the meanwhile, I'll continue to source for more.
Thanks

Zhemin

Hi Homerunners,


I've managed to get free carton boxes for packing of items, but we'll have to go down to Tuas and collect ourself when we need them anytime.

Jason

air tickets

Today I managed to book all the tickets . But the price has gone up to $ 358. Collection date is 12 March.

Hi Anisah

Basically, they would need items like:
1. bandages
2. antiseptic cream / lotion (hydrogen peroxide)
3. plasters (of all sizes)
4. phyllium husks ( for constipation) i can get this for you.
5. cold packs
6. water melon frost ( for mouth ulcers) i can get this for you.
7. disposable gloves
8. cotton pads or rolls.
9. others basic essentials.
10. insect bite cream

For Thian Beng

Hi Thian Beng,

I have spoken to Destin and I guess we have decided to take the nail-clipper out and you also mentioned that you do not need all the items in the first aid kits but instead specific items only.

Just wondering if you could specify to me which are the items you need so we could source for them. We programmers will also think up of a replacement item for the nail clipper. Thanks :)

Air Fares

Hi guys,

These are the best prices I’ve gotten out of the travel agents

1) Misa Travel – 373 silkair

2) City 99 Asia – 370 silk air

3) Euro Asia Holidays (63399133)

- 315 silkair

- 350 tiger air.

So for now, the best bet is Euro Asia Holidays, this is the best price they can give me for 8 people. However they need me to confirm the numbers asap as they only have 9 seats left. So if you guys are agreeable, we should book soon.
