Interact Club of SMK Subang Utama

Annual General Meeting 2012.

2012-01-25T08:38:00.000-08:00

On the 7th of January 2012, SMK Subang Utama had their Annual General Meeting (AGM) when all students were required to pick and join for one club under 3 categories for the year. The categories are: Uniformed Bodies, Academic and Non-Academic Clubs, and Sports Clubs.

And so the Interact Club of SMK Subang Utama had their AGM too! :D

This was the turnout for the morning session AGM, not too bad if I do say so myself. :)

What happened was the Board of Directors along with Pn Rajes, our teacher advisor, briefed the members on what was Interact all about and also what upcoming projects we had for the year.

There are some pretty exciting projects coming up, such as the International Understanding project, trip to Furry Friends Farm (an animal shelter), trip to an underprivileged home, recyling projects, fundraising projects, and many more! :)

There was also our Membership Drive which was on the 14th of January and a pretty good success. :)

Community Service Director Tze Yun (left) and Assistant Heng Wei introducing themselves and talking about upcoming projects.

Same thing happening with Club Service Director Ganendra (left) and Assistant Arvind.

All in all, the attendance for AGM was great, both the morning and afternoon sessions, and I hope to keep seeing all you awesome members at all our projects! :)

Int. Charlene.
Peace out. ;)

43rd Interact District Conference

2011-12-16T02:25:00.000-08:00

Hello, Interactors! :D

From the 12th till 14th November, 7 Interactors from SMKSU had a chance to experience the opportunity of a lifetime, that was to be present at the 43rd District Conference! ;D The conference was held at Nur Laman Bestari Resort, Jalan Ulu Yam.

It was truly an awesome experience for the 7 Interactors. These 7 Interactors were Madeline Ashlee Lok, Charlene See, Wong Mei Kuan, Victor Nicholas Gan, Arvind Bhaskaran, Ganendra Vivekananda & Stephen Chong. Not only did they get to meet new people, they also had a chance to experience living in the woods for 2 nights.

This year the Conference was organized by the Rotary Club of Klang and the Interact Coordinating Council of Klang.

Here are some of the snapshots taken at the conference.

Our Interactors shared a bus with Interactors from our sister schools: SMK Seafield, SMK Bandar Sunway and SMK USJ13.

This is one the first day when we first arrived. Everyone was still getting settled in.

Our Interactors doing their "LIKE A BOSS" face while wearing their BOD jerseys. :P

Interactors Ganendra and Victor with Emil, a German student who is here in Malaysia as part of the Interact Youth Exchange.

This is just some of the beautiful scenery our Interactors got to feast their eyes upon for 3 days.

On the 2nd and last night, there was a great campfire going on and everyone got the chance to fellowship with each other in the dark. ;)

On the way back home, our Interactors along with their busmates decided to take a detour to Batu Caves.

Cavemen and women. :P

All in all, it was a great and fun experience, so kudos to the Rotary Club and ICC of Klang! :)

On a side note, dear members, Interact SMKSU will be having their annual Interact Gathering 2011 at our dear Publicity Director's house. For more info, click here. If you attend, not only can you bond with the BODs but you will also meet all the awesome people that were at Conference! ;D

Over and out,
Int. Victor
Int. Charlene.

Interact Conference 2010.

2010-12-07T02:04:00.000-08:00

Hello Interactors! Many apologies for this very dead blog. However now that I am here, it shall be revived! :D

Okay, so from the 3rd to the 5th of Dec there was the 42nd District Interact Conference. This year it was sponsored by the Rotary Club of Seremban and held at the Royale Bintang Resort, Seremban.

10 out of our 14 BODs went. These lucky people were:

Sara, Melanie, Jo Anne, Lisa, Jasmine
And Tze Yun, Madeline, Yi Hua, Pei En, Charlene

If you wanna find out what's their posts go check under the BODs section. :P

This is all of us who went.

Another without Melanie and Jasmine.

We stayed in 2 duplex suites that had 2 stories. And nearly all of us screamed like mad cows when we first came in. It even had a staircase!

The view as you enter our duplex suite. :)

We met a lot of Interactors from other schools, they were from all over Peninsular Malaysia, actually, and the sessions were... QUITE interesting.

Also, 1 of the MCs for Formal Night was none other than our very own Funding Director, Madeline! Don't have a picture of her MC-ing, unfortunately.

During formal night, the Senior BODs excluding Jo Anne and Madeline with Wey Leuk, an Interactor from MBSS.

The ballroom where we had our sessions and formal night dinner.

Our table number! :D

Interact family photo missing 3 more BODs and all of our members.

It was a heck lot of fun and the juniors really got to bond with the seniors. The Interact Club of SMK Subang Utama would like to thank the Rotary Club of Seremban for organizing this awesome event. :D

Also, I would like to thank President Sara and Vice Pres Melanie on behalf of all those who went for arranging our transport, keeping us in line, and guiding us while we there. :)

And a big Thank You to Treasurer Lisa Chan for letting me grab the pictures to update this blog. For more pics, go to Lisa's album here.

Till next time,
Your awesome Asst. Funding Director,
Charlene See. XD

General Update + Information about Nominations Process

2010-06-01T09:31:00.000-07:00

Hello! *blows off the dust on this blog*

Sorry for the extreme lack of updates! We've all been busy with school and other stuff. Mid-terms and all, I'm sure you understand.

Throughout that all, Interact's been going underground, if you get my meaning. :D

No I don't mean illegal underground, I just mean, we've been keeping things on the down low. It may seem like we haven't got anything going on but that's far from the truth.

In late March, we started our nominations process. In April, the nominees were given the Sports Day project, as is tradition. To all the people who bought from Interact Club on Sports Day, thanks! You guys helped make the project a success. Also, from that project, we started to see the potential in our future BODs.

The nominees were also given a hand to plan the I.U Project. I myself am not too sure of the full details, but I hear it's going to be pretty damn awesome.

Other than that, the nominees were also given a task to plan two virtual projects. About 2 weeks after Sports Day, they were asked to present one of those virtual projects. Personally, all of the teams impressed me in different ways. I can't divulge anymore than that, sorry!

Their next virtual project - the camp - will be presented after the holidays, if I'm not mistaken. Look forward to that, because if the plan is real good, we just might be planning the real thing!

Throughout the process so far, I personally have seen a lot of potential in the nominees. Some have impressed me, some have tried to impressed but failed, some have surprised me, some have warmed up to me and some have shown me their true colours. But all in all, I suppose the nominees this year aren't too bad a batch. (*sniffles* I still think my year had the best batch of nominees. :D)

BUT the nominations process isn't over yet! There's still the evaluation of the I.U. Day Project as well as their interview. MUAHAHAHA, I've been waiting for this day forever!! HAHA. Don't worry, I'll try to be nice. :)

Also, several Interact members joined the bowling competition held by Bandar Sunway Rotary about a month or so ago. I heard it was great fun but I didn't go, so I suppose you'll have to wait till one of those who did go decide to speak up about it. :)

P.S: Please keep an eye on the blog for updates on I.U Day. I really wasn't joking when I said I heard it's going to be awesome. No, srsly.

- Int. Geraldine, Secretary.

2010-01-24T00:37:00.000-08:00

So Friendship Day project is now in full swing, we've been getting a lot of orders ever since we started sales on Thursday. Sales will be over in about a week or so, so don't delay getting your orders down from Interact NOW!!!!

We've also been having productions quite often and YES ALOT OF PEOPLE SHOW UP TO THOSE TOO! Yay!

New School Year + What We've Done So Far + Future Activities

2010-01-14T23:23:00.000-08:00

The new school year has started!

I'm sorry the blog is getting slightly dusty but now that school has started again, we're gonna have a lot more activities (and hopefully, more updates!).

This year's AGM was kept simple and it was quite a success, if I may say so myself. What really impressed me was that we had quite a number of people who turned up for the interview the next day. To those guys who turned up for the interview, THANK YOU! You have no idea how much that helped us to know your perspective on things and we're really grateful for that.

For those who didn't attend the interview though, no worries. As long as you frequently attend the meetings (remember to get your attendance from Int. Liew Sher Mun, the tall spiky haired dude), you are a member of the Interact Club. On the other hand, even if you attended the meeting but you do not come for the meetings nor do you actively participate in our activities, your name will be cancelled out.

Also, for those not in the know, today was our first official General Meeting of the year. We had a pretty decent turnout, with both familiar and new faces in the crowd. We had several announcements made about the I.U Project as well as the Friendship Day Project. We also had a little sketch about Italy and we all learned some new facts about Italy.

Did you know that we have the Italians to thank for smelling good? The cologne was invented by an Italian!

Members were moderately participative but I must commend the members for paying attention to us most of the time. :)

Special thanks to the members who helped out with the Italy sketch!

Oh and make sure you guys come for the next General Meeting! There might be another hilarious sketch like that. :D

In somewhat related news, there will be a Production for Friendship Day tomorrow (16-01-2010) from 8am to 11am at No. 93, Jalan SS19/4. Bring your stationeries, glue and scissors! For more details, please call Int. Sarah at 016-3160125 as she's the one in charge of this project. Thanks.

Project AID

2009-11-23T06:39:00.000-08:00

Project AID: Appreciating Interactors Day! Started with a senamrobik session (thanks to Sher Mun who insisted we do it lest we wanted our legs to fail us and break) then a game of Captainball! The rain and mud did not deter us, as Team Cheese went agains Team Rollie Pollie Ollie.

Sher Mun briefing members about the game.

Later we played the infamous Table Talk, where we all got soaked to the bone!

It is fitting to say that Project AID has acheived its goal: to get to know members and bring them closer, the old-fashioned way, having LOADS OF FUN!

Waiiiiit for it.....

Anyone else welcome to upload pictures from the even here! My current uploader is being a tortoise.

Carpark painting

2009-11-15T23:36:00.000-08:00

Wow. Interact blog is a bit dusty eh?

Well, luckily for y'all, we've been having quite a lot of activities lately which you might or might not know, depending on how active you are.

First up, PAINT THE CARPARK!

It was originally supposed to be a 3-hour thing, but we grossly underestimated and it turned out to be a four-day affair.

Although the whole thing took more time than we expected, I think all in all, for a bunch of unprofessional painters, we did quite an alright job with the yellow car park lines. Most of them are straight. :D

And the best part is, we got free food for helping the school! We don't get paid but we get a full stomach! Hahah.

Some pictures.

Us working!

Us still working!

Us fighting for paint and brushes to work! Am I conveying just how enthusiastic we were about it yet?? Hahah.

The end result. :D

All in all, it was good fun, good work and good company. And if you head to school and see bright yellow lines in the carpark, you'll know it was us. :)

Paint the Store project

2009-08-26T19:32:00.000-07:00

Are you all free this Saturday??

Cause the 'Paint the Store' Project is this Saturday, guys! And your help will most definitely be greatly appreciated. :)

Date: 29th August 2009 (Saturday)
Time: 8.30am to 1pm
Venue: Gather at the canteen!
Notes: Please wear something you don't mind getting dirty. You never know with paint. *winks*

(And don't say sleep. If I, possibly the most sleep-deprived person I know, can make it there, so can you.)

Nothing special really, just normal painting for the Interact store and the store behind the Chemistry lab. And srsly, don't wear anything too fancy. You might get paint all over it. =/

Alright, that's about it. In Bart Simpson's words, "Be there, or be square!"

Guys! Listen up!

GENERAL MEETING
Day/Date : Friday (21/8)
Place : 3 Gamma
Time : 12.30pm
About : Wishing Well Project! Paint the Store Project! And if we have time after that, GAMES! :)

For BOD members, pay close attention to this. President Zhiying has decided to have an official BOD meeting right after the previously mentioned General Meeting. Details as follows:

Official BOD Meeting
Day/Date : Friday (21/8)
Time : 1.30pm
About : We will be inviting our Rotarian Advisor to this meeting so if you have any qualms or questions about your job or your role to play in the Interact Club, you can ask him then. Place is yet to be confirmed.

VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE BE THERE.

Oh yes, I also have a favour to ask of all you SMKSU Interactors! I've been thinking of changing many graphic-related stuff on this blog for a while now, but I never really got around to it because:

1. My laptop is best friends with Mr Laggity Lag.
2. Although my desktop is super fast, I only have Adobe Photoshop on my laptop.
3. I cannot find any suitable graphics.

Ignore the first two, I just need your help regarding the last. (Unless one of you will be willing to buy me a new laptop complete with Adobe Photoshop. Or just a new Adobe Photoshop CD since I can't find it anymore. Hahah)

If you come across any interesting graphics that remind you of the Interact Club, that you'd like to see be put on the blog as the header or as an icon or whatever, please let me know! You can contact me from my email, crazy4more_xcitemen93@hotmail.com

Your help will be greatly appreciated and quite frankly, desperately needed. Thanks! :)

And lastly, just for laughs, Neil Patrick Harris dancing with Elmo. Makes me laugh every time. Hahah!

Ja ne!

Bulletin Board + Meetings

2009-07-01T02:10:00.000-07:00

Yo! I'm back. After a long hiatus of no updates, I promise I will try to be more active in posting here, hokay? Someone just has to, uh, remind me.

But I digress.

In case you haven't noticed, the Interact Bulletin Board has been given a makeover quite a while back. The work of our new Editor-in-Chief and Sub-Editor, Nadia and Ping respectively. Show them your appreciation and ~~use your imagination~~ check it out more often.

I like the Interact bear comic strip. It's so funny! I think the bear should be our new mascot. Hahah!

Ahem. Anyway.

The board is constantly updated, because Nadia works fast, so really, you should check it out more often for new information and stuffs like that. Also, just a little trivia for you, Nadia was the one who designed the pink Talent Quest flyers you see all over the school. She was also asked to design the backdrop for the Talent Quest event itself, but she turned it down due to time restraint and other priorities.

:))

At any rate. We have a new feature on the new bulletin board, which is the simple yet effective calendar. The calender is changed every month, and it is filled with information like the days of BOD meeting, General Meeting, events and projects. Also, it lists the funny days we should be celebrating but aren't due to lack of knowledge; knowledge that we now have, thanks to Nadia and her calendar.

Did you all celebrate Speak-in-Rhymes Day on the 30th of June? I did. For about 10 seconds.

Nadia: Hey, it's Speak-in-Rhymes Day! Let's celebrate it with hay!
Me: .... Okay....

Right.

This month though, there are more hilarious days to celebrate, so make sure you go and check out the date on the Interact bulletin board!

While I'm here, I might as well inform/remind all of you about several things:

1. BOD members! There is a BOD meeting this Friday, 3/7, after school at 3 Gamma. And another one on 17/7, which is two weeks from now.

2. All other members! There are General Meetings on Friday, 10/7 and 24/7. Yes, we are alternating the General Meetings with the BOD Meetings so it should be easier for you guys to remember the date. All other details are as follows:

Time: 12.30pm

Place: 3 Gamma

3. I.U Day is sometime this month, so keep your eyes peeled for more news of that. Either on here or on the bulletin board.

Oh and one last thing before I go, for those not in the know, the Interact Bulletin Board is right beside the PMR Lab 1 (which also happens to be the class of the Club President Zhiying, Club Secretary yours truly, Club Treasurer Natalie and I.U. Director Phanit :D). And the PMR Lab 1 is beside the PMR Lab 2. And the PMR Lab 2 is beside the sepak takraw court. There you go. A succint map on where the bulletin board is. :)

CAMPZILLA= 100% AWESOMESAUCE

Those who did not participate in this year's Campzilla Reloaded (joint Interact, Leo and RELA), well... ~~sucks to be you!~~ join next year lah.

Thank you so much to the camp committee for your hard work and dedication, you guys rock! :D The shirt is also super cool... can colour it!

The three winning teams this year:
#1 Malibu
#2 Tasmanian Devils
#3 Haven't Name Yet? (my team okay!!!)

Oh yeah, on behalf of group Haven't Name Yet?, I'd like to thank our adviser, Andy! XD Especially for taking us to Pokemon World and Digimon World with your retarded map.

A word of advice for next year: be like Sher Mun and BRING AN AIR BED. Air cond and bath tub also if you can.

Moving on, there are a few announcements to be made. Firstly, ILTS has been postponed until further notice. All BODs, there will probably be a meeting before the even to arrange transport to the SS17 school. So, those who haven't bought their uniform yet, here's your chance to redeem yourself!

And... your name tags are ready! So, BODs, please pay up RM 15 to Nat ASAP because I used my own money to pay the rest. =.=

Plus... Pingu and I have souped up the Interact Board at school already! It's not complete, but take a look and tell us what you think. Sorry Rern Sean and Sheng Ling, your names aren't up yet because I printed them in wrong colour...

Just a reminder... Hari Keluarga/Talent Quest coming soon! ;)

Nadia

EDIT;;;

Sorry this came up so late. Nadia actually went and posted it in the wrong blog. She posted it in our old link, which was supposed to be deleted a while back but again, a mistake on my part, I've been too busy to delete it. Anyway, this won't happen again, hopefully. And to the BODs about to make a post, make sure you're making it in the right blog.

Also, Malibu FTW. Oh wait, they DID win. HOHO. My team my team! The awesomes! Pretz Zhiying was our advisor, unfortunately, he often only popped up to wave the flag around. LOL.

Good luck with adjusting your alarm clocks back to the early hours of the morning, school starts tomorrow!

And with that, I end this post. Goodbye and good night. :)

- Geraldine

Hari Keluarga

2009-05-25T07:50:00.000-07:00

I have this habit of starting every post with a picture. Sorry!

Attention to all Form 4 BODs, there will be a meeting this wednesday after school until 2pm regarding hari keluarga. Mainly I wanna decide on what are we gonna be doing and where. Since every class diwajibkan to sell something, I think it'll be quite a competition so we have to decide things quick before they snatch up good ideas + location.

Cant let that happen :D

The reason why Form 3's arent welcome (sounds so rude T__T) to the meeting is because our president thinks I shouldnt pressure you guys to come lol! But anyway, it'll just be a small meeting. You guys will be updated on it so dont worry! Just concentrate on your exams and do well la kay :D

Please let me know if you cant make it. So maybe we could change the date or something if everyone isn't coming to school. But you better come okay!!! *garang face* lol

NAAAMMMEEECARDS!!

2009-05-05T05:05:00.000-07:00

hi fellow members of interact!
But i'm on a more important business here so you can shoo off now.*pfft jkjk*

ATTENTION TO ALL FELLOW BOD MEMBERS OF 2009/2010,
pls pay up RM30 to our beloved *i have thousands of other names for her, but it would be politically incorrect* treasurer-in-waiting, Natalie Yong, by this friday, 8th of May for your respective 100 pieces of namecards. Because hopefully, the namecards can be in print by this weekend!! XDXD.
So yeah. Though it might be slightly expensive, i'm sure the design can make up for it. lol.

tata for now you bunch of nitwits! ahem, i mean people.
Ping (Sub-Editor) -in-waiting.NOT!

zomg!

2009-05-02T08:40:00.000-07:00

zomg I almost couldn't sign in to the Interact account for about 1 hour.... scared me silly! O.O

Okie dokie, just a little update- BOD meeting on Friday (rajinnya, working on Labour Day) went smoothly, even if people were staring at the President and maybe stealing our strategies, too! LOL For those who could not make it and want to catch up to speed on what's going on, ask Geraldine or Sara for a copy of the minutes.

A reminder: ILTS (Interact Leadership Training Seminar) has been postponed to June, make sure you BODs get your awesome Men-In-Black uniforms by then! Also, since Mr Raja could not meet with us on Friday, the Rotarian meeting has been pushed back till further notice.

Our namecard design has been chosen! *mexican wave* Sub Editor Ping has sent it to be soft-copied, and apparently, since there are so many colours, it will be a little costly. But majority as no problem with it, so cross your fingers and hope it turns out perfect-o-mundo!

That's all for now. Next BOD/General meeting will be after Mid-terms. Good luck!

Nadia :)

Raising funds!

2009-04-27T03:40:00.000-07:00

Aloha!

Yes as the previous post stated, i'm sarah ding your funding director! Honestly I dont really have the patience like rachel to put colours for fonts and such lol. I think its very ma fan :D

I sound very bimbotic and happy and like rainbows and butterflies but i'm actually not okay lol. I'm very quiet :O monologue sometimes too.... -_-

OK this post isnt about me! It's about what I expect/hope from you members - your help to make funding projects succeed. and also every other projects. I'm looking forward to getting to know every member. And i do wish everyone would just lend a hand in our projects.

As Funding Director, one of the main projects we have anually is Valentines Day/Friendship Day project. I'm sure many of you are quite familiar with how the process goes :

Go to the table, write your order, pay, recieve your orders on valentines.

I've actually thought of quite an interesting (and high tech lol) way to spice things up! I've decided to open a blog specially during our friendship day project period and have the order forms there! So that everyone or anyone could just order by just a click click click!

And of course payment need to be made the usual way :)

So yeah, tell me what you think about it! :)

Another kinda of a messy task is production. Which is when all this products are urm, produced? Honestly alot of members dont turn up during productions. But you have to! You got to! It's actually very fun to do stuff. To show your creativity and especially girls, i think you'll love it lots! I know I did this year :D thats why I picked this post as funding dir.! :D

I do hope you guys would turn up for productions in the future! Get involved and we'll all be happy together (lol i just crapped that)

Fund raising projects are coming up! (i think) Look forward to it just like i am :D

Oh yea...

A priceless picture of our president
is a MUST on the interact blog! :D

Layout issues + labels mega post #2

2009-04-25T08:34:00.001-07:00

Okay, so as you can see, I'm re-using the old layout for now.

At first I wanted to change it to something totally new. I was on the verge of using this layout titled Validity. I like the links that follow you around when you scroll around. Plus the header looks like the draft Nadia designed for the 09/10 name cards.

But I consulted our dear editor-in-chief, whom I shall now fondly refer to as Ed or Donuts, Nadia. And we had a nice little talk and decided not to use that and stick to this instead. In her words, this layout is 'very official, unique and clear cut'.

Who am I to disagree? It is my baby masterpiece. XD

But no fear, I am going to change some things around. I will change most of the graphics, including the header image, the icons and the cbox image. Also, I will try to change the fonts or whatever, make it look nicer. ^^

Another thing, this is another labels mega post! We're not quite there yet, but this blog is getting pretty ready for public transmission. So I might as well put it up. ^^ A beta version though. So give all your feedbacks and comments about what I'm doing here, okay?

Note. Exams are coming for me, so I won't be able to get the graphics done as quickly as I would like. In the meantime, just enjoy the new, more organized posts, okay?

- Gee

P.S : I'm running out of ideas for labels. Suggestions? Don't create them yourselves! Just suggest some in the cbox! Some examples are as below.

EDIT;;

People if this is the first time you are here, please read the previous post for a better understanding of what's going on! Sorry, forgot to mention. So sue me, it's 12am, my brain ain't working like it's supposed to.

TQ.

Blogging Guidelines + Labels Mega Post #1

2009-04-25T04:28:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone!

First post in the new Interact SMKSU blog! Cheers all round!

Currently under renovation, so there's really nothing much to see right now. But feel free to browse through the old Interact blog which shall be made extinct as soon as this one is up and running! :D

Right now, I'm using this post to add new labels to the blog to make it easier for everyone to search for a particular post or whatever. But I have to use another post soon, cause one post only allows 200 characters for labels. -___-

**IMPORTANT**
To the other BODs who has access and would wish to blog something, this is a list of things you can blog about:

Interact projects. This includes but is not limited to information about upcoming Interact projects, post-mortem of an Interact project, your own pictures/views/ramblings about an Interact project you attended, etc.
Announcements. Things like announcements about general meetings (GM), BOD meetings, productions, etc.
Interact news. Anything new with the Interact club.
Messages from the BODs. Want to send out a message to the Interactors of SMKSU? You can do so here but please restrain your language.
Basically anything Interact-related. As long as you keep the more flowery and colourful side of your language to yourself. Otherwise, either Nadia or myself will have to delete that entry and have a talk to whoever posted that.

Although I would like to point out that normally, it would be either Nadia or myself who will post about Interact projects. Most of the announcements too, but sometimes both of us miss some of the information for a meeting, so if you checked the blog and don't see an update about a meeting you know about, please update! (Also, please don't make up meetings. It's not actually that funny and it would cause some problems for us.)

The others, well, you are welcome to blog about them anytime you like!

A couple of things I would like you to follow when blogging to makes moderating this blog easier:

Please include a title that is relevant and informative. Eg, if you're blogging about an upcoming general meeting, your title can be something like, 'General Meeting on [insert date here]'. Don't worry about giving crap titles; if you do it wrongly I can always help to edit it. ^^
Please include labels for every post. This is to make it easier for me, you and everyone else to search for a post later on. And remember, the labels have to be relevant to the post itself! Eg, you can't put the label 'pictures' for a post that doesn't contain any pictures, right?
Please do not create new labels by yourself! This is of utmost importance. No matter what circumstances you're under, you will not create new labels! If you do, you will make my life as the moderator hell. And in return, I shall make your life hell. *eyes all of you maliciously*

Only use the ones I have created. If you don't know the labels, next to the blanks where you type in the labels, there's a link 'see all' or something like that. Click that, all the labels
will come out. Then just click one to add it to the post. It's that simple!
Please leave your name at the end of the post. Eg.

Hey!

[POSTPOSTPOSTPOSTPOSTPOSTPOSTPOSTPOSTPOST]

- Gee [Or whatever your name is]

Right now, that's all I can think of. But yeah, all the basic rules of blogging apply, okay?

And oh yeah, I forgot. I'm a stickler for proper punctuation. So sue me. But if I see a post with writings like this (HeY, I aM hErE tO tEll yOu...), or like this (hey,i am here to tell you this.please don't forget...) I am going to edit it. Just telling you first, to avoid you feeling hurt or whatever. Sorry, I'm just a neat freak like that. I like all my blogs to be organized and nice-looking.

Other than that, BODs, enjoy yourself! :)

Last warning/reminder before I leave,

Srsly, do not randomly add new labels as you please. SRSLY.

- Geraldine, your blog moderator (mod) ! A.K.A Gee.
