Bonding Camp

2010-08-15T08:23:00.000-07:00

10th to 12th Aug

The long await camp finally arrived! Careful planning was done before hand to ensure the best experience for the campers participating.

-Day 1-
Campers arrived and had ice breaking games held between themselves, and after they can finally remember the names of each other, we proceeded to the station games held all over school, having clues leading 1 to another.
And it would finally lead to the main event where teams would be put head to head! The coveted egg drop! Everyone spent every heartfelt minute trying to make the best structure that would shield their eggs from their archenemy, Gravity! This might be against some rules, but one team manage to survive the ultimate challenge, the eleven floor drop! We can only watch in awe and congratulate them.

-Day 2-
Early start to the day, we work up early to get ready for the arrival of the YOG flame. Nine wheelchairs where taken out and wheeled to the venue where the torch would arrive, everyone did go together though. It was an awesome experience, how many would have the chance to be so close to the flame that came all the way from Greece?
After the huge hullabaloo, everyone went back to the loft to cool down and get ready for lunch (it was a very hot day!) Lunch was great, and everyone was pumped up for the up coming water games. But it rained 10mins before the activity start! Everyone was quite disheartened, but no matter! Fun found it way around, and everyone just looked forward to the promising BBQ planned later that evening.

Everyone helped out in preparing for the food!

Marinating the Chicken!

And the time arrived, the sunset and everyone set out to fill their empty stomachs.

Setting up of the BBQ pit.

We were spoilt for choice regarding the food presented. It was just great!

Just look at the number of chicken wings we have! And as many happy faces!

A small glimpse of the food.

We had laughs, and yummy food in our tummies. What more can we ask for?

See? What did I tell ya?

The BBQ ended when the lights were turn off, so much fun, so little time, that's just life ain't it?
A tiny amount of food were left over due to the lack of time, but who would be bothered right?

And to end the day, we had our Night walk, plunged into darkness, Ngee Ann is actually quite a scary place. Everyone plucked up their courage and every step was taken with intensity.
No one dared to try anything stupid, no pranks were pulled. Ghost stories were shared, songs were sang and everyone returned to the starting point exhausted. Calling it a day and everyone went back to loft and head to bed.

-Day 3-
No one ever likes goodbyes. But it's time to part ways, ending the camp, packing up the lofts and got debriefed. Everyone went home with something to keep, their memories. Things we will never forget, views we never had for other people.
This Bonding Camp did bring most of us together, it's not something you can have everyday.

Thanks to every participant attending the camp. WP would hope to see you again!

2010-08-15T07:25:00.000-07:00

We collected the donation tickets back, and guess what!
We raised a total of $1200, and yes, all the proceeds goes to HWA.
Thanks for everyone outside who helped out, including members of ERS and mentoring for volunteering to aid us in this event.
This would not be the last time we would be carrying out such an activity, kindly approach us the next time we have such events if you are interested to help out!
A small gesture would go a long way.

Punggol Sec

2010-08-15T07:14:00.000-07:00

WheelPower is invited to Punggol Secondary School to show case wheelchair basketball in their brand new indoor court, to the students and the Guest of Honer, Mr Teo Ser Luck, the Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Community Development, Youth and Sports.

We got the students to participate and taught those who are interested to try out and play a few matches! Most where reluctant when approached but it wasn't long after they sat down on the wheelchair, did they feel the challenge and you could almost tell from their faces that they are constantly thinking of new ways to out wit the opposing team.

It's a good experience, the public exposure isn't what we would get often, but events like this, we do surely enjoy. Especially if we could share our experience first hand with anyone that's willing to learn.

HWA events

2010-07-04T18:48:00.000-07:00

2/7/10
Recently, we were invited to a talk at LT 74, hosted by HWA.
A touching video was shown to all who attended, and after, we discussed about the sale of donation tickets.
It was stressed to everyone that if a booklet of 10tickets has been bought by yourself, no cca points will be given, due to the fact that promoting the "purchase" of cca points is highly unrecommended.

4/7/10
And on Sunday, a handful of us attended the Wheel Walk Jog event, once again, hosted by HWA.
It's an event that's held every year for the past 17years. Volunteers help push participants who are wheelchair bounded for a 3km long route around west coast park. Performance and booths are set up for entertainment, and all proceeds goes to Charity. Ain't that just great?

WP in the Pinnacle Race 2010! - 22nd May

2010-06-15T09:02:00.000-07:00

WP in the Pinnacle Race 2010! - 22nd May

We were approached by the NP X-ventures club , to set up as one of the obstacle course in the Pinnacle! Viewing it as a chance to showcase wheelchair basket ball to the public, we took up the offer and went about planning what we should present as a challenge.

In the end, we've decided to make use of the 3 basketball courts in Kismis as our venue. Teams are suppose to pick a player and wheel any one of the wheel chair across the 3 courts, to the last court. Positioning themselves anywhere behind the 2point line, or the red area (as coloured on the kismis courts). Having to take 5 shots before they can wheel back to the starting point, but if they can get 2 in out of the 5 given, they will be given the advantage to wheel back! That's all to it, simple!

We could tell from their faces that some of them truly enjoyed the above. And though it might be a bit late, but congrats to all winners!

Comm service week + Mother's day charity drive!

2010-06-11T08:40:00.000-07:00

Date of events : 4th ~ 6th may.

The Comm service week was created by a group of students from several community service clubs, and under the supervision of Mr Dy. We basically set up booths along NP orchard road,showing pictures and additional details about different community service events carried out by various CCA clubs. This allow us to show to the students of NP that our community service CCA clubs are active. The results were quite astonishing, considering the number of people approaching the different clubs to ask for more info about the different clubs for a better perspective.
The above said applies to wheelpower too! Overall, a job well done.

On the last day of the comm service week, we got stalks of carnations, paired it with birthday bears with 3 different months printed on them(both provided by the handicap welfare association(HWA)). For $10, you'll get a stalk of flower(comes in different colours) and a bear of your choice(3 different colours).
The price maybe steep for some, but for charity, no amount is too great. We manage to sell all 30pairs of flowers and bears, and gathered a total of $300, all proceeds goes to HWA. Showing everyone out there that NP students do have a big heart.

Sorry for the lack of photos this time round. None was taken in the hectic rush.
With that, here's wishing everyone a happy term break, or whatever is left of it.

some FMS and Psychology students dropped by today.
the FMS group did their filming and asked Tommy a lot of questions.
too bad cannot play much hahaha..
and at the end of training they distributed 100 plus bottle drinks which I heard came out from their own pocket money!
so nice kind and generous right!

the Psychology group wanted to play with us I heard so we will most likely see them next few trainings.

and I heard from Alvin (Ian?) that there is a clinic for the winner of this years minor league tomorrow.
maybe training for next year's major league?

still waiting for them to post us on the website thought :/
ctv.sg

anyway a 3rd year mass comm. student and her company freeflow productions dropped by today for some filming.
the focus wasnt us but hopefully this will increase our club influence and increase the interest in our club!

Hi all!

I cleaned up the web code a bit.
There isn't much difference from previously but hopefully the other webmasters would find it easier to edit the code henceforth.

I was thinking that perhaps our Vision Mission and Goals could do with a revamp.

Vision: A picture of the "preferred future;" a statement that describes how the future will look if the organization achieves its ultimate aims, e.g. "The widgets of choice for a value-focused world."

Mission: A statement of the overall purpose of an organization. It describes what you do, for whom you do it and the benefit, e.g. "To provide consumers with high-quality, price-competitive widgets to meet their personal, business and recreational needs."

Goals: Broad, long-term aims that define accomplishment of the mission, e.g. "Grow profitability. Maximize net income by increasing revenues and controlling costs."

Perhaps our club President would like to have a say in this. He should actually hahaha.

I was also thinking of having the colors of the blog redone.
Light Pink and Black isn't much to my taste but lets hear what the rest have to say first.
How about Black Yellow and White to go with our jerseys.
It could be our Club color.
Green Blue Red or Gold are also possibilities since they are present in our NP Jackets.

Another suggestion would be to create a Facebook Group.
We could post all our photos there.
The events could be there as well so all members are easily notified.

I happen to chance upon this video online and decided to share it with you mates.

Warning! Prepare some tissues before watching
Also Quoted from a forummer

"One day, a son asks his dad "Daddy, would you like to run a marathon with me?". The father says "yes".
And they run their first marathon together.

Another time, the son asks his dad again "Daddy, would you like to run a
marathon with me?". The father says "yes son".

One day, the son asks his father " Daddy, would you run the Ironman with me?"
The Ironman is the most difficult triathlon ever (4 kms swimming, 180 kms bikin, 42 km running?)

And the dad says "yes".
The story looks simple until you watch the following clip. Just amazing, how much can love be.... ? "

2009-06-20T09:49:00.000-07:00

Wheelpower was invited to participate in the 4th National Disability League 2009 under wheelchair basketball.
It was a 3-on-3 wheelchair basketball match played only on half the court.
We sent in two teams.
After facing fierce resistance from the opponents' team only one team made it to the finals.
We came close to clinching the top position.. just one point away!

Thanks to those that attended and stayed till the end to support our team.
Congratulations WP!

Looking for New Batch of Committee Members‏

2008-09-08T09:30:00.001-07:00

Hi all Wheelers! The WheelPower Comm is looking for new blood to replace the current committee.

As quoted from the President's email, "We are currently looking for a new batch of committee to continue the club's name and glorify it. Some of you have already been shortlisted by some of the current committee members. Those who are interested to be a committee member, please reply my email by Sat 13-09-2008.", "You guys have to go through an interview, a trial camp and for those who are interested, you MUST show us that you can assist with the club's growth."

I already have in mind who can replace me ;) Most of you should be able to guess who. For the rest who think you can outdo my replacement, let me know and I'll see if you deserve my position, the (easy)job load and the awesome amount of CCA points! The rest can all try out for the other positions available in the comm too!

Currently we have,
President
Vice President
Secretary
Internal Relations Head
External Relations Head
Treasurer
and the most important
WEBMASTER! :]

Other/new posts will be considered when we have more talents to allocate into these 7 positions. So good luck to those who have replied Ming Kai's Email and are going for the interview!

With Smiles,
jB :]
