Ps*: Congratulations to our seniors who won: "Best On-ground Event" award for their campaign, "Recycle is a Need & a Deed (Dec 2008)"

Perfect for a hot day!

It was an incredibly hot day and a few SSH 10th Anniversary Celebration campaigners were walking along Desa Setapak, Wangsa Maju, finishing up on some post event matters, as we were complaining about the hot scorching sun, we then, to our delight, stumbled onto one of our co-sponsors Perfect Ice. Those who attended our celebration would remember the Perfect Ice stall which was set up in the canteen 2 foyer. Their juicy and cold sherbet definitely were crowd pullers, making our celebration that much cooler.

We were thrilled as were many other customers who were crowding the shop, to find something cool to deal with the hot weather.

The crowded shop as everyone wanted to get their own share of Perfect Ice

When it was finally our turn to get ourselves a nice cool fruit sherbet, we were spoiled for choices as there were so many flavours, like Soursoup, Pumpkin, Peach, Kiwi, Watermelon, Honey Dew, Dragon Fruit, Mango, Red Plum, Red Bean, Lychee and Sweet corn. They were all equally tempting.

There were so many mouth-watering flavours to choose from!

The flavours we chose were mixed so that we would get more than one taste and the price is really affordable too! As we drank our sherbet, we could taste the authentic fruity flavour along with the cool ice soothing down our throats, it really made the heat much more manageable after that. The sherbet comes in a cup which you can carry as you walk or eat it in the shop. The best thing about the sherbet is that it stays cold for very long time.

The mixture of flavours gave the drink a beautiful color, fit for celebrations or any other occasions!

Are you thirsty yet?

2009 has come and gone, and right now, most of the students of SSH are starting 2010 by preparing for their exams!

For the student organisers of this SSH 10th Anniversary Celebration, this will be our final exams as SSH students, but before we bid you farewell and retreat to finish our own exams revisions, we would firstly like to wish all that are taking exams a VERY GOOD LUCK!

Prepare for your exams SSH style, Study Smart and Hard!

Know that you are all "Simply Versatile" in our hearts!

Thank you for all your support! :)

Roaring in the new year!

The tiger’s roar gets louder and louder as we count down to the coming Tiger Year.

After years of having Chinese New Year movies from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and China hitting our shores, this year Malaysians will get the chance to watch a local production. "大日子Woohoo" is Malaysia’s first ever 100% locally produced heartwarming Chinese New Year Film, hitting cinema screens this 14th January!



Producing a film locally is not an easy process as it involves coordination from different aspects and most importantly the budgeting of a film is a huge concern. Knowing this, the Broadcast Communication team invited Director Chiu of this 大日子Woohoo film to share his experience in the making of this film during 15th December, the second day of the event.

Director Chiu, who is now the Astro Chinese Program Manager, engaged actively in directing TV series, advertisement, MV and TV programmes. He was an assistant director in a Singapore Chinese New Year film,"Winners take all" , producer of favorite travelling and award-winning TV program "Go Travel" and "Step Forward".

bringing out the festive mood of <大日子woohoo>!

He brought along one of his stars, Ah Yoke, with him and shared about how he chose his actors and actresses; that it was not a must for her/him to have lots of experience. Instead, he explained that he would be more concerned with the ways an actor communicates with their eyes and body language. He also explained that as a director, it is important to have strong justifications for every decision made.


Other sharing topics include the conceptualization of the movie, location scouting, new technology -red cam used in shooting the film, budget and etc. The sharing visit also revealed 10 (out of 1000) limited handmade Woohoos, which are the movie's premium items, in the shape of cute tiny tiger dolls. The little dolls were given away by Director Chiu to participants of a short quiz held after the sharing session.


The making of this film is revealed to the audiences through their book, <相信。可能>. This book, with 200 pages, captures the whole making process of the movie, showing you the scenes and props design layout, words from the production team, to give you a behind the scenes view of producing a film. If you want to know how things were translated from ideas into a full length movie, you just have to give this book a read!

The SSH Alumni Homecoming

SSH celebrated it's birthday on the 19th of December, the real birthdate, with The SSH Alumni Homecoming dinner. And a few (busybody) representatives of the SSH 10th Anniversary Celebration Campaign joined the fun!



It was not just a chance for a reunion of old friends for many of the alumni, but also a chance to eat good food! (Very good food!)



Mr Lee Hwee Chuin, who still was fondly respected by these former students, gave a speech thanking all that came for this dinner and gave his heartfelt thanks for every single alumni who has represented SSH in such good light in the industry for the past years, some of whom that have gained recognition for their work. He was obviously very proud.

It was truly a night to remember...

It's not over...

While the event might have closed successfully, it is not the end of SSH or the students from APR2 and AMS2.

It merely marks the new beginning of the many great things that is to come.

This is not the last post you will be seeing on this blog either, we will be bringing you more news about us.

So remember to come back here and check on us! ;P
