Christmas Party @ Sierramas West Clubhouse

People started arriving as early as 6.30 in the evening.

On the menu that night:

• Cream chicken soup
• Cocktail sausages
• Crisp salad with tuna dressing
• Homemade mashed potato
  
• Pizza
• Mamak-style fried chicken
• Chicken lasagna
• Fruit jellies
• Raspberry-filled chocolate muffins
• Chocolate fondue

Didn't manage to get pictures of the sumptuous spread, but take our word for it, the food was good.

Ice-breaking.
Everyone was split into three groups.
Each group was given a list of things to find; the first group that managed to find all the things in the list would be the winner.
The prize?
Winners got to dunk the organizing committee into the pool, however they wanted.

Directions to the Sierramas West Clubhouse

Dear members,

The clubhouse doesn't have an address, so perhaps you could copy/print these directions out for your parents? Remember, 7pm to 10pm, but feel free to come earlier if you want to help out.

See you there!

---

From school, head toward the Damansara NKVE toll plaza (the toll near Tropicana)/. After entering the toll, proceed towards NKVE North heading to Ipoh. You will pass the next exit which is Kota Damansara.

After the Kota Damansara Exit, keep left all the way towards the Sungai Buloh R&R Overhead Bridge. Exit the NKVE through the Sungai Buloh Exit which is about 1KM after the R&R Overhead Bridge.

After passing the Sg. Buloh toll, keep right and follow the upward curve until you reach a traffic light which is about 300m from the toll booth. (Note: Avoid the first left turn immediately after Sg Buloh Toll Plaza – that road will lead you to Bukit Rahman Putra).

At the traffic light, go straight and you will reach the Sierramas roundabout. At the roundabout, take the left turn (9 o clock) and follow the main road until you reach a second roundabout (about 1km away from the first roundabout).

At the second roundabout, take the left turn again (9 o clock) and follow the road until you pass the ELC International school and Villamas Condominium on your left while you will see Sierramas West Guardhouse on your right.

Continue to follow the main road for another 500m until you reach the first left turn, which will lead you to the Sierramas West Clubhouse.

Look out for our homemade roadsigns on the way to the clubhouse!

Attn: Christmas Party 2008

Dear members,

The division is having its 2nd Christmas Party, and YOU are invited!

6 Reasons Why You Can't Miss It:

1. It's a pool party; and who skips pool parties? (It doesn't matter if you can't swim, there'll be plenty of others - lots of grass and dry ground, not to worry.)
   
   
2. This is a rare chance to have fun with your St. John friends, juniors and seniors outside regular meetings.
   
   
3. The annual Christmas Party is one of the MOST fun activities organised by SJAM DU in a year. (Duty etc. can be fun, but c'mon, let's be honest here - compared to a Christmas party?)
   
   
4. Food will be top class, and the venue is gorgeous. (Definitely worth more than RM20.)
   
   
5. Meet and mingle with officers and members from other divisions in a casual, relaxed atmosphere. (You might even see Mdm. Sheryn in her trademark pink bikini!)
   
   
6. All your friends will be talking about it when school reopens, and you don't wanna feel left out!

Note that:

• There is a fee of RM20 (same as last year). If you think that it's a lot, go for the party and we bet you will change your mind.
• RSVP by 25 November latest by leaving a comment on this post stating your full name, class (2008) and email address. Alternatively, contact Serenity.
• It's a pool party, but whether or not you come in swimwear is up to you.
• Only 70 spaces available, so sign up pronto!
  

For any questions, contact Grace or Pei Yeen (either email or call us).

Tell all your friends - don't one anyone to miss the fun, do we? ;)

---

If you don't have a Blogger account:

1. Ask a friend who does have one to sign up for you.
2. Call/email Serenity or any B.O.D. member, and tell them your details.
   

Don't let something as simple as this stop you!

Those involved in the Exhibition had to set up a St John booth, promote the upcoming Mass CPR event and sell coupons.




Members involved in First Aid had a rather easy time as there were only two casualties.


SEAPort members gave a short-case demonstration that wow-ed the public.
