CCN Day!

Hey guys! I apologise for the lack of updates, I've been rather busy the previous week finishing my assignments & all, but I'm back with a rather interesting post! Last Friday, the 20th of May was CCN Day! I was there personally at the event & I must say, the freshies this year are doing quite a good job at manning their stalls & earning money for charity!

Anyway, in case you guys forgot, let me reiterate the meaning of CCN(Campus Care Network) Day. CCN Day is a trademark event of the TP Campus Care Network, in which students & staff set up stalls to raise funds for the needy students at TP. This event does not just help to raise funds, but it also helps to ingratiate the entire polytechnic together as friends are made, a care group cooperates with each other to set up & man a stall, & basically the entire school works hand-in-hand to raise funds, forming new bonds between people, & strengthening already existing bonds between people. What a meaningful day, isn't it?

Anyway, since this event involves the whole school, of course our MNS freshies will be involved too! Here's a picture!



These are freshies from our course of Mobile & Network Services, from the care group C298! They had a very interesting stall selling Polaroid pictures for 1.50SGD each, & I believe they had drinks & snacks on sale too. See, it's freshies like this that put the 'fresh' into the word 'Freshman', they bring new life to the world & decorate the world with their marvellous entrepreneurship skills! Brilliant work guys!

Well, being the very persistent 'reporter' that I am, how could I have not interviewed anybody? *laughs* Here's an interview of the vice-chairperson of C298, Muhammad Noorhakim bin Mohamed Shukor:

1. How did you feel in having your first CCN Day experience?

I feel honoured to have been part of this CCN day as it is part of TP culture and also my first.

2. Will you want to help out at CCN Day again next semester?

If I can find the time, then I would gladly help out in the next semester.

3. What do you think CCN Day is about?

I think that CCN day is about raising funds for students who need financial assistance.

4. Do you feel that CCN Day was a meaningful experience for you?

It was certainly a meaningful experience as I came to know that there are students who are willing to support this event by purchasing other care groups' product or taking part in simple games at different stalls.

5. What have you learnt from CCN Day?

I have learnt to work closer with my classmates, how hard it actually is to earn money and different methods to sell our items.

6. Last but not least, how did you & your class prepare for CCN Day?

We prepared by giving different suggestions on what to have on the CCN day and discussing different products to sell. We also prepared by collecting money from our classmates as a capital to purchase the items, allocating jobs to classmates and telling ourselves to try as hard as possible to raise funds.

Basically, this interview documents the process of how is CCN Day like in general, & how can one prepare for it. Also, I felt that the way C298 prepared for their CCN Day debut was a wise choice. Brainstorming is usually key to a good project, almost like the keystone of a bridge. Remember, without a good foundation, one can never build a good building. Or do well in your modules for that matter. Everyone, please study hard!

Alright then, enough of talk, I'll leave you guys with this post. Hopefully it was informative & it helped you guys understand a little bit more about CCN Day!
