Heading back to school for the first time in years (no need for calculators, we are forever 21), YOLO was invited to ACS (Independent) for the 2010 EDB Short Film Competition award ceremony.
As design and prize sponsor, we were curious to see how the short films would turn out.
The afternoon began as anticipated. We expected to clap and cheer for the finalists, and we did. We expected to watch the students squirm during the grueling Q&A session by the judges, and we did.
But what came as an unexpected surprise after so many years away from school was that we learnt something very important that day. I know. Learning something new in school? Who'd have thunk it?! It's funny when you are younger the way you look at education. Even when you go on to university or get further online education, you still look back at school in a certain way. So learning something that day was quite interesting.
In No plain Janes Part 2, we join Jane Hia, owner of Kith Café, at her corner of Rodyk Street to find out what keeps that brilliant smile on her face and the secret of Kith that keeps customers coming back for more!
Jane Fong, 27, of A87 Café and Bar, and Jane Hia, 26, of Kith Café, are both Singaporean, first-time café owners and incredibly driven women. However, that’s where the similarities end. YOLO speaks with these two unique individuals in separate interviews. Read more to find out why YOLO supports their culinary crusades!
In Part 1, we speak with Jane Fong. Beyond her sweet and cheery appearance, this young entrepreneur embodies tenacity and a fierce passion for... cosplay!
If you could capture the vibrant spirit of Youth in a moment and paint a portrait of a generation with the click of a button – what is the story you will share?
YOLO encourages all young shutterbugs to take part in the "Celebration of Youth" competition to flaunt your photography chops and pick up new skills to hone your creative talent.
UPDATE: We have just received the good news from Assisi Hospice that The Empty Box Christmas Charity raised a grand total of $9,700 after the final tally!
