Meeting (21st of October)

The meeting today started off with us making a brand new batch of bio enzyme which we will sell during our Eco Carnival. We made four large containers' worth of bio-enzyme which contained 10 parts water, 3 parts fruit peels, and one part brown sugar.

After we have made the bio-enzyme, we proceeded to weed and water the herbs garden. We also trimmed unruly plants. Our Limau Kasturi plant's fruits had ripened, and were therefore harvested and subsequently sold to the canteen operator. We also planted some new misai kucing plants to replace those that were dead. After the garden looked immaculate, we decided that it'd be a good time to water our plants, and Eishatur decided to turn on our sprinkler system.

We all wished that she didn't. 

The rusted and worn-out tap decided to malfunction and refused to be turned off. Water was spewing in all directions at an alarming rate, and had we not done something about it, a large percentage of our plants would have been submerged in water and subjected to a watery death. We then decided to dig a 'drain' of sorts leading from the herbs garden to the actual drains which allowed all the excess water to escape from the herbs garden.

It was at this point where we decided to seek the aid of Encik Yusoff, a Kemahiran Hidup teacher who was also male and therefore expected to be extremely competent when it came to fixing faulty taps. He concluded that the tap was rusted and had to be replaced. Puan Yeo, our teacher in charge then went out of school to purchase a new tap for our garden together with Encik Yusoff. In the end, the tap was fixed, sort of. The sprinkler stopped spewing water as though there were no tomorrow, but we were told not to turn the tap on as it was not properly fixed, yet.

We then went to the library to have a meeting. Initially, there were two separate meetings-one which only involved Farhanah, Atikah, and Siti Sarah (to be known as the Three Greats from this point on), and the other, which included everyone else. The latter discussed the Eco Drum circle, as well as our song. Lyrics were written for our song, and we would decide on the melody of the song at a later date.

Finally, the Three Greats finally emerged from their conference with a whole new board of directors.

After selecting the board of directors, we then had a deeply intense and intriguing discussion about the Eco Carnival. Every head of the Eco Carnival board of directors was introduced to their fascinating and exciting jobs they're all eagerly looking forward to. 

The head of games was told what type of games would be carried out on the day of the carnival, and that the location of the aforementioned games would be none other than our school field. The head of workshop was told that she had to hold 6 one-hour long workshops back-to-back on the day of the carnival. Head of exhibition and technical support  was notified of the places where the exhibition booths talks, and conferences would be located. She was also given the itinerary of the Eco Carnival.

Moving on from the subject of our Eco Carnival, we discussed our Sri Aman going Zero Styrofoam campaign which will be launched on the first of November. The documentation team is in charge of the video presentation for the launch of the campaign while the nurturing team is in charge of the posters and flyers which serve to inform students and teachers about the event. Besides that, we also discussed our carpool campaign. We will be carrying out surveys to determine which students stay close enough to one another to be able to carpool to school together. We would also find out the number of students who would be interested in the campaign.

The meeting came to an end at 2pm, and we were notified that there would be a meeting on Friday, the 22th of October.
