Ok guys, so this evening I went to Queensway Shopping Centre to check out the T-shirt prices with my mum, coz the one Steph and Elyse went to told them the final price was $17, which was quite expensive.

When I got there I could only find 2, while the others were closed, so I'm planning on going back tomorrow morning to check them out, before emailing Mr Tham the options. When he tells me which is the best, I'll post it up here just to inform you guys :D

Number of T-shirts to be ordered: 41

Shop #1: Ultra Supplies
Website: www.ultrasupplies.com.sg
Price offered: $12-$13
Estimated time it will take: 2-3 days

BAD
- They focus more on printing DOCUMENTS instead of T-SHIRTS, so I'm afraid the quality won't be as good.
- Also, when I gave the woman a brief description of the T-shirt (I didn't show her the design because she was quite busy), she just told me the price and how long it would take, that's all. It was quite vague, and despite the price + estimated time it will take for the T-shirt to be printed, it sounds quite unreliable to me.

GOOD
- Price is good, but I didn't show her the design so it might change.
- The time taken to print is good too :D

Shop #2: 98 DESIGNS
Website: http://98designses.blogspot.com/
Price offered: $20
Estimated time it will take: 2 weeks

BAD
- The price is mad expensive, even when my mother tried to bargain with her (and you know how good mothers are at bargaining.)
- Time taken is quite long too...

GOOD
- The shop focuses on T-shirt designing.
- The woman offered to show me a sample without me having to ask, and when I glanced at her collection of T-shirts, I could see that there was quite a variety of schools/companies who had ordered from her.
- She told me that she could help EMBROID (which is like stitching) our names onto the sleeves instead of printing, so that it would last longer :D
- She said that she would use "silk screen printing" to make the design, so that the words would not fade even after countless times of ironing/washing.
- The lady also suggested that I moved the words "S1'09/'10" from the sleeve to the bottom corner of the shirt so that she could decrease the price and we wouldn't have to pay so much.
- Even though it takes 2 weeks for her to finish the T-shirts, she said that the latest I could give her the design + deposit is TUESDAY. And she won't charge us extra fees even though she will have to rush it out. Both her and my mum told me that other vendors would charge "Express" fees if they were required to print the T-shirts in a short amount of time :D Thus, we should be able to wear our T-shirts during CNY :D
- Overall she was kinder and in my opinion more professional. Also, this shows the amount of "satisfied corporate customers" who ordered from 98 Designs.

Shop #3: JWoods Sports World
Website: http://www.jwoods-sports-world.com/
Price offered: $19-$20
Estimated time it will take: unconfirmed

BAD
- The guy said that it would be difficult to be able to get the T-shirts ready by 12th Feb, which is when we're having our CNY Celebration. And he said he's not sure when he can finish our order, or if he can avoid charging us extra fees for rushing the order. So I'll have to get back to him on how much it'll cost altogether.
- Price is a little too high. I tried negotiating but he said if we wanted quality (e.g. silk screen printing the words) the minimum price we can get is $19. And at that price we won't be able to embroid our names on the sleeves too, he can only stamp them on. Stamping is not really good as the graphic tends to crack after repeated washing + ironing.

GOOD
- The shop focuses on apparel printing.

Shop #4: Reflection Apparels
Website: www.ultrasupplies.com.sg
Price offered: $17-$23
Estimated time it will take: 1 week

BAD
- It'll only cost us $17 per piece if she heat-transfers EVERYTHING on, and that means the graphics won't last as long, I think.

GOOD
- Min. price is quite low
- Her shop focuses on apparel printing COMPLETELY, and she sounded quite serious + professional.


All in all, I think Shop #2 is our best choice SO FAR, but we'll have to wait for Mr Tham's decision.

Everything will be alright. I know we can make it through this. We've come a long way from the first day of 1S1'09. We've gone through more problems than other classes, we've had more obstacles that we had to tackle.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger (I forgot where I got that quote, but whatever. XDD).

And...no matter who it was, I believe that you, and I quote, "did it in a moment of folly" and you have your own reason(s) behind your actions. Just...don't do it again, please. For the sake of both yourself and 2S1'10 :)

THE ART DATELINE IS NOT EXTENDED.
MS ONG DOES NOT ALLOW.
HOPE THE INFO. IS USEFUL.
THE LATEST IS WEDNESDAY BUT WITH VALID REASONS. ONLY.

THANK YOU & SORRY!

Hello S1! I was told that some of you do not know what is expected for the Mandala Art and need an extension. I have asked Ms Ong for an extension till 29/01/2010. However, it is not confirmed. So, to help you guys with your Art, here is something below.

You can Google Search on Mandala Art (images) and you'll get a huge response.
Here's a link if you need it: http://images.google.com.sg/images?hl=en&source=hp&q=Mandala%20Art&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi

From that, you'll know that there are many different types of Mandalas. Mandalas are not exactly tessellations. Tessellations are only to do with one unit shape. However, Mandalas can have more shapes. More on the symmetry side of drawings.

So, you can use some of the ideas for your work.

With the tracing and carbon paper, life is easier. To use the tracing-carbon paper method, follow these steps:
1. Print out the ideas you wish to include in your mandala.
2. Place the tracing paper on your print out and trace it out. These should include all the ideas and look like your final mandala, just that it is on a tracing paper.
3. Place the carbon paper on the drawing block and the tracing paper on the carbon paper. Ensure that the words which are on the carbon paper are upwards and the enpty side of the carbon paper downwards. Trace over the work on the tracing paper using a permanent marker.
4. You would see your mandala on the drawing block. Outline the Mandala with a permanent marker.
5. Either colour in your mandala or use the thick-and-thin lines method to make your mandala look better.
6. There you go! You have your Mandala right in front of you!

Yep, that's about how you can use the tracing-carbon paper method to get your mandala done.

So, basically, your final piece should be on a piece of drawing block. It should have a border and your name, class, index number, date and Mandala Art written at the top right hand corner.
In the middle, you'll have your coloured/black and white mandala.

I do not promise anything about the dateline. Those of you who are able to submit it on Tuesday please do so even if there is an extension of dateline unless you wish to improvise on your mandala. For those of you who do not understand what a mandala is I think you'd have a rough idea by now and by seeing the images, you'd know more about it.

Sorry for not being able to providew you'll with more information as I am not very good at it. Hope its of great help to you guys.

SACHPREET :)

Hey S1sters~

In case some of you didn't see Nicole's tag in the tagboard, if you have any ideas about our CNY/Valentine's Day class decorations, please MSN either me, Nicole or Wubin. Do not post in here since this is not a private blog and whatever post here is open to the people of the interwebz, so... :D

Oh oh, and there's 1 month and 2 more days till my birthday 8D *hinthint*

Rachel.

Attention, peeps~

I've decided to start working on the year-end 2S1'10 class video instead of leaving it to the last minute, so if you guys want any photos to be put in, feel free to send them to me (but please don't go and send pics of all your celebrity obsessions -.-)!

Also, for this year's class video, I'm still taking dedications in, regardless of whether it's in text-form or video-form, so approach me if you want to send in our dedications!

So yeah, that's all. I'm trying to keep the whole video a surprise so if you see me staring very intently/cursing at my TPC, don't sneak up behind me to watch me work on the video. After all, the best part of a gift is the surprise BWAHAHA.

Btw, if you're really bored, you should go read through our class blog archives. I feel so...thankful that I've met you bunch of Awesomes :D
Rachel.

THIS BLOG IS DEAD OMGZ. Therefore I shall post some rubbish/nonsense here to revive it :D

Do you think we should start discussing our June holidays class outing now? I WANT TO GO THE NEW THEME PARK AT SENTOSA (I've forgotten it's name XD)~

Oh, and you guys should really go mingle with the juniors when you have time, because do you remember last year when 1S1'09 and 2S1'09 weren't really close and when we had questions about secondary school life we couldn't ask anyone for help D: Well, Idk about you guys but that happened to me and I had so many panic attacks :(

Oh oh, and time for shameless plugging.


The K-Pop icon blog I opened with Loo Sin 8D

Anyways. So um...yeah. We should all log in and post rubbish once in awhile, whoo~

Rachel.

Hi all~ Congratulations, you have remembered to check the class blog like what Nicole told you to do! :D Alright, the designs are all below, and since most of them were from last year, almost all of them have the words "1S1" or "1S1'09" on them. But don't worry, I'll edit them if we choose a design with "1S1" on them :)

P.S. I had a few designs that weren't in JPEG format (they were in this "File" format thing) and I couldn't convert them. So if you don't see your designs here, it probably means I couldn't convert it or you didn't send it to me XD
