1M1S Stall

So last Saturday, all the schools of Malaysia participated in the 1M1S run. And SM La Salle was no exception! A 1.5 Kilometre jog was set up for the students to run, sweat, faint, walk, chill out, have fun or jog on! Well, seeing this as a potential fund raising scheme, the interact club of SM La Salle decided to open a stall just the day before! (And we did!)

Now how did this happen in a space of less than 24 hours?

Well, we all know that last minute planning is never good, but with a strong team in the interact club of SM La Salle, we knew that we had to take chances and risks to be on top! So Joshua and his dad managed to get 10 crates of BOTTLED sprites for the stall for free from F&N while the very passionate Venoshine managed to supply food which she and her mum cooked and cooked for hours. Until 4AM. And no, its not your simple everyday food, it was curry mee hoon as well as nasi lemak! Now that's commitment isn't it? Emma supplied the ice and we got the support and approval from our dear interact teacher advisers. And not to mention, we got help and contribution from the fabulous Adina Affendy, or as we all call her Aunty, she is our mama la salle :D She helped us by supplying a lot of sandwiches and biscuits which believe it or not, were the first two things to be sold out at the stall! But more on that later :D And not to mention, countless support from all interactors who sacrificed their time by helping out at the stall despite the fact that it was so last minute!

So most of us got to school pretty early at around 6.40 AM and yes, we were all tired but as soon as we saw the whole bunch of potential paying students, we were quickly energized with just one agenda in all of our heads: SELL! SELL! SELL! So we  were on to a slow start at first with just a few students and a few teachers purchasing things from the stall but as the run came to an end, woah, a whole flock of students just came pouring in to our stall!

Sooner than we knew it, all the sandwiches and biscuits were sold out and we made profit! The mee hoon was so delicious that it didn't take so long for it too be sold out despite its RM3 price! People just wanted more! All the nasi lemak sold out pretty soon too! And all the ten crates of sprites were all gone! WE COULDN'T BELIEVE IT! Everything was sold out! The stall was a complete success and we managed to raise a hefty amount of cash for interact club funds :D Woah, this just served to increase our need to be a more active and more awesome club! We needed a push and we sure got it! 

Behind every success is a great team!

We are all great team players and this day just showed what we can achieve (even last minute!) as a team! The possibilities could have been endless if we were more prepared! We are like a family altogether really :)

And on a lighter note, it was interactor Roussell's birthday on that day so following the tradition of SM La Salle...

We poured freezing water all over him! Heck, Venoshine even took the cooler box and dumped all that ice water on him! It was pure joy! As you can see, as the interact club, we aren't just your typical meet everyday schoolmates, we are a family :)
