Serangoon North Village SPRING Festival Opening,Pt 4

Even as I was positioning my digital camera to capture this snapshot, I was wondering for many of our simple kampong folks ...such moments are always special to them.

But they hardly, if ever, get to see photos such as these., much less having a print or copy of it for keepsake. Right?

That's WHY I have been reiterating THIS VERY IMPORTANT POINT to the key CCC members that THE EXISTENCE OF THIS BLOGSITE SHOULD BE MADE KNOWN TO ALL RESIDENTS OF OUR KAMPONG.

Then they can update themselves and find or look for pictures and photos of events they participated in.

They could also download photos for themselves and it is so convenient with this blogsite of ours.

But this has not happened...informing the residents about this blogsite.

Let me illustrate with a true story.

In December, I was having lunch at a nearby coffeeshop just opposite the temple, Sg N Ave 1 when Mr Chua of Goodwill Birds saw me and we ate and chatted together. It was purely by chance that he mentioned in our conversation that " he wished we had a website for photos of the many community events held and for communication." I was shocked he did not know about this BLOGSITE I started for the GRLs and he was surprised when I told him such a website exists! He DID NOT KNOW ABOUT IT AT ALL ! I wrote his web address down and later sent him an email as well as linked his website to ours.

More people involved in the GRLs and other committees should be linked to the site.

This piece of news should have been quickly publicised in the Serangoon Newsletter, giving this website address in BOLD.
Since none of that has been done,

our residents and even Key GRLs like Mr Chua remains in the dark and was no wiser

What an irony!

The internet is and will be here.

It is like a GIANT BRIDGE that has been built across and linking all cities and everyone can travel on that road.

There is no such thing as" wait for the best time to travel or use the road". Unk Dicko says no need to wait. The more you wait, the world will soon pass you by. You will be left behind.

The earlier and the faster we can reach the residents and vice-versa...the better it will be for everyone.

Just look at the top photo above. It is such a lovely sight. The little girl, the grandma and the MP of the area where they live.

The grandma and others knew we had many cameras snapping away.But how does this simple grandma know where to find the picture? When will it appear? How can I get a copy? etc.. etc.

Informing the residents quickly and properly by telling them about this blogsite will solve those questions I have posed.
