Guide to our constituency : Kampong Chai Chee

Kampong Chai Chee
is a combination of Malay and Hokkien words, meaning "village market place". And so it was: a village of attap huts that became the centre of a constituency in March 1968. It included every kampong from Changi West to Kaki Bukit. Today, it is a tiny tenth of its original size, but comprises of 7,581 units.


Kampong Chai Chee Community Centre is located at 200 Bedok North Avenue 1.

The Management Committee set up Daiko, the Japanese Drum (Taiko) in December 1997, the first of its kind to be set up at a community centre in Singapore.

We also have our very own Interactive Parenting Club (IPC), a platform for families with children to meet and organise activities so as to enjoy quality time together.

Beside these interest groups, our evergreen activities include hot favourite such as Culinary Classes ranging from Chinese, Japanese, Thai and Indian cuisines. Karaoke singing and Social Dance have been a hit with senior folks while juniors have their share of fun learning Art, Ballet, Taekwondo, Wushu, and so on

Rainbow Ville RC - First BLOG!


Many of the RC members are still not aware of the functions of a blog.


"Why do you want to let everyone know about you??"


"Why show everyone our photos?"


"No privacy!"


"Don't know how to use...."


"... ... ... ..."



Well, I was delegated with the honorable task of creating a blog for Rainbow Ville RC.



I hope that I will be able to help other members who are not into Blogging and Facebook yet, to familiarise and like these applications.



Don't worry members, we can still control our level of privacy...



Let's maximise the potential of these social networking tools, and don't be surprised when you start to blog and even make friends with your children.



Start Blogging and Enjoy!


Cheers'
