i just want to add on some point to what crystal say. we as sec 4 at time do make mistake also we also did misuse the room at time and bring in our friend i would like to say sorry!. and i also hope that each member in zion zone will learn to treasure whatever previllage is given to you. we might not have a teacher in charge, we might not train u like uniform group or punish you like other CCA but this does not give your the right to camp over higher authority i believe in each of you, your have to walk out of your own comfort zone!. "it does not take one day to change but the effort count" :D

take care.

Hi

The training session at NYP was hilarious, especially the part when we got lost in nyp. haha, can't imagine it

anyway, no time to joke
let's get serious now.

there are bound to be rules everywhere you go in life, no matter if it is in school, at home, at work or whatsoever. We have to follow a set of rules in order to maintain fairness, discipline and teamwork in Zion Zone. and all these will be helpful on our pathway to success.
Okay, so let's get the rules started.

Golden Rule No 1
No using of Zion Zone room for any other reasons other than that of course, for Zion Zone sessions.
Well, Zion Zone room is not a place to hang out or enjoy air-con. Don't have to feel guilty if you have already broken the first golden rule. Just don't do this next time. Only Jessica and I or other sec threes can give you permission to use the room. So, inform us if you have to use the room. But still, your reason must have got to do with Zion Zone.

Golden Rule No 2
No bringing of friends into Zion Zone room. I'm terribly sorry if I have brought my friends in previously but rest assured, I won't do that ever again. You, too. Unless you want your friends to get scolded by me. (which I hate that a lot) I dislike telling people off as they will roll their eyes at me and show me the irritated face, so don't make me do that again. do your friends, yourself and me a favor.

Golden Rule No 3
Please be reminded, once you step into Zion Zone room, you must show respect to all of the members, including yourself. Making a fool of yourself isn't showing much respect to yourself. Behaving yourself is.

Golden Rule No 4
No vulgarities are allowed in Zion Zone room. I take this really seriously. I hate hearing vulgarities the most. They make me feel so offended. You are also offending other innocent parties by your vulgarities. Therefore, don't say them even if you know or don't know what they mean.

Golden Rule No 5
Keep quiet when you are supposed to. I get sore throats really easily and as you know, my voice isn't really loud. So, please cooperate if I request you to stop talking and listen to me.

Golden Rule No 6
Please, Zion Zone is not another cca for you to pon.
I care about attendance a lot. Just come even if you have no idea what we are going to do on that day. I know you are busy, you have stuff going on, but you still have to make time for Zion Zone. Worse come to worse, inform me earlier why you can't come on that date. and I expect a valid reason.

Golden Rule No 7
Try your best to be as polite and friendly as possible, especially to teachers and whoever who are working in phs. We will bring honour and pride and recognition to Zion Zone once the teacher recognizes us. For example, if you are in council, many teachers would think that you are really disciplined(well, they mostly are). Therefore, your cca and you are strongly linked.

Golden Rule No 8
Grab any opportunities that come in your way. For example, if you have been chosen to make a presentation in class or be an emcee for a certain event, grab this chance immediately. Like, immediately immediately. I know, you might be shy or something, but you still have to overcome your fear one day.

That's all for now. I might improve or add in new rules along the way. So, please be prepared. Thank you.
Remember,
It's not your choice if you want to follow the rules, you have and are obliged to so long if you are a member of Zion Zone 52.9.
And please, don't call our cca zz. It sounds so wrong.
haha. yeah.

Crystal Ong
President of Zion Zone 52.9
(Jessica, you can tell me if you have any opinion with these rules and I can work things out with you. Thanks.)

NANYANG POLY!

Hey my fellow ZIONERS!

Here are the photos taken on Wednesday, when most of us actually went to Nanyang Poly to train on how to do Widgets! It was a great and fun journey there with Audio Engineering Club and a lost and fun journey back! All of us were so great and funny together! Haha. Here are the photos!

Enjoy the images! Maybe anyone with Adobe Photoshop skills can edit those photos and make it a banner =D

And I can write a guide of HTML and CSS for you guys if you want! It may help the progress of the competition. (:

thanks to fir, it suddenly occurred to me that zionzone's history was not exactly made known to all. well, i'll try to fix up the history of zionzone! :D

hit the rewind button to year 2004.

zionzone was set up for the purpose of improving our school's language command.
during that year, the first batch of zionzone DJs are

-amira
-kokwhey
-teehao
-melissa
-keith
-andre
-debbie
-mitchell

and i cant remember the rest D:
super sorry! hahaha. i'll try to find their pictures if i can!

have you ever wondered what does zionzone52.9 means?

well, you see. zion is some kind of representation in christian faith.
which im not so sure of (so, someone, help me here!) haha.
and 52.9 is the school's land code!
let me show you :D

PRESBYTERIAN HIGH SCHOOL
Address: 5209, ANG MO KIO AVENUE 6 ( 569845 )
Tel : 64543722

Fax : 64543430

ah ha! :D
now you see?
5209 to 52.9, whereby the 0 becomes a .
yeah :D

let me give you guys a link.
CLICK HERE :D

it used to be the blog for zionzone ages ago,
when mitchell is the moderator. but not much people know about its existence.

our seniors got first hand training from a DJ.
a real DJ, Belinda sunshine.

thats her!

and amira won the wannabe contest during 2005 :D
she was the president of zionzone as well.

the next batch of DJs are the current sec4s.
namely,

-clarice
-jianyi
-kuekjing
-clara
-sijie
-minyen
(excluding those who left halfway)

we didn't have the chance to get trained by Belinda as she could not be contacted.

our teacher in-charge then was Mdm Genevive Tan

yepp! :D her!

our duty then was to broadcast to the whole school on a daily basis,
but there was a serious technical fault.
so, we couldn't do our broadcasting as much as we wanted to.
at that time, we weren't into podcasting yet.

then mdm tan left.
mr edmund choo took over us as the teacher-in-charge.

in came the current sec3s!

-crystal
-jessica
-rachel
-eunice
-melissa
-paulyn
(konk me in the head if i've left out anyone!)

then mr arthur choo came too.
uh, he was just working in our school for a short period before his army.
although it wasn't in his job scope, he helped zionzone alot.
like getting a mac and teaching us podcasting, credits to the two choos :D

well, he came, left an impression, and left.

yadayadayada (check out the archives!)
, and you guys came :DD

haha.

thats about the roots of zionzone i guess?
hahaha! :D
might be too vague, but we wouldn't want this to become like the history texbook's evil twin eh?

haha!

sorry for the delayed release :D

loads of love;
minyen!
-who has loads of uncompleted march hols homework. die die die.

Hi GUYS!
I recieved this email from Mrs Lua
You guys can read it.
=)

Dear Crystal,
Pls forward this mail to all the Zion ZOne members involved in Emceeing for the JJ Fair.

A BIG Thank You for your dedication and hardwork during the JJ Fair. You stepped forward and did a great job with very little preparation when needed. I will see what I can do to provide you with the teacher support needed for your further development. You have displayed fantastic planning and steadfastness. Keep up the good work. Thank you for cooperating with the alumni Sheryl and Dion sent to guide you. It was a wonderful surprise to find a complete list of volunteers for the Emcees job with duties all allocated and time slots provided on Friday morning when the instructions was given to Crystal only on Thursday night. No need to enlist outside help at all ( and none came forward after the morning announcement for volunteers.) What a relief for me. You displayed one of the principles of good governance, "anticipate change, stay relevant" (the sec 3s will understand what I mean).
Once again, thank you.

Regards
Mrs Anne Lua
Senior Teacher Presbyterian High School

Yay!

Crystal

hey all! i think this is my first post for zionzone! been wanting to post, and i have found a reason to now haha! ok i'll keep this short and sweet.

ok first of all, great job to all of you guys! ;D i seriously think that this is maybe the most successful zionzone outing ever! you guys showed great energy and great enthusiasm and i want you guys to maintain in! coz thats what zion zone requires: ENERGY! not very much on the techincal sides though, that we can train. but energy, you need to have it. either you do or you dont, and its very much related to your passion to deejaying. and i am proud of you guys, especially for some of you, you really exceeded my expectations and proved me wrong.

on the other hand, i would like to see more coming out from ppl! dont be afraid to be wrong, get it wrong once, then try again. wrong again, try again. in the end you will get it, so just keep trying and dont be afraid! the dare-to-do spirit...hmm i hope to seee it from you guys more, espcially from the seniors, coz YOU are the ones leading the pack and you have to be able to coordinate different people to different tasks. i would really like to thank crystal! she has done a very good job and yeah you guys better listen to her ok? coz even i give her respect :D

on a lighter note, i feel zionzone is heading in the right direction! keep going guys and keep it up!

love ya all,
