Project Namaste II (Nepal)

Hey one and all,

I will be going for a Community Service trip to Nepal with a team from SMU (Project Namaste II) at the end of the year to serve the community there in particular to help educate kids and reconstruct the school there (painting, maybe building something small, etc).We would also be constructing a library and improving the stoves there. The project then requires a lot of funds for us to make this success a major one. 1 way in which our fundraising will be done is through the "sale of postcards". These postcards are very special as one will not just be buying a postcard in itself but in fact these postcards will be filled by personal messages from the Nepali kids themselves and later posted from Nepal back to Singapore. What you see below here are some of the Nepali postcards. They are both beautiful and meaningful. Therefore, one can think of it as if you made a donation and in gratitude, the Nepali kids decide to write you a "Thank you" message,because that is what it is. Do your part for charity. Contact me at 81007451 or email me at kelvyn.li.2005@socsc.smu.edu.sg for more enquires. Think about it. One good meal would more than exceed this amount already. Why not make a little 1 day sacrifice to help others more in need? It's definitely worth. Feel your heart. A lot of people have asked me how much to donate. Our team have discussed for it to be at least $10 per postcard but since it's for such a good cause and if you feel able enough, any amount more than $10 would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Happy 23 Birthday!???

9/9 marks yet another birthday in my calender - my own. Yet, in recent years, I have been feeling less and less excited about my birthday. In fact, I hardly feel anything as I'm blogging about it now. I guess the older one gets, birthdays cease to become a novelty anymore. 1 year older... I am officially 23 years old today... I have grown yet another year older... I am old. Some people say that it is not the biological age of a person that makes him old but his heart. I feel that I am both biologically old and old at heart. Sighs. No more cranky ideas... No more jumping off tables... No more a child. Nonetheless, there was a mini birthday celebration for JX and myself at Kallang MacDonald's! Gosh I still cant believe that XY actually booked the party room at MacDonald's. The last time I celebrated a party at Macs was some 15 years ago? Fancy having such a party at 23. Unique?? haha I wonder how JX feels celebrating his as well yesterday (not going to reveal his age here. SHHH). Some photos from yesterday (awaiting the rest from XY). Here's the cup cakes that XY made. Quite ok lah good effort! Then there's the cake and PRESENTS from Macs... And Yong stuffing the entire cupcake in his mouth! tsk tsk... Rachel came over yesterday to celebrate too!!! She's soo cute! You see the flower in the pic? Rachel used her OWN money to buy it for me! Not that she knew of course. Haha my sis-in-law just took some money from her savings to buy it for me but I'm still gonna treasure it nonetheless. Being the period of the rugby world cup, Rachel had to get into the action as well. =) Anyway, happy birthday once again Kelvyn.
