This is the confirmed 1st project ....PRINCESS' UPDATES

me again...
the press con for the drama was previously rumoured to be in august,
but there're rumours that it might be brought forward,
if this is true,
then this means i don't have the time that i had thought i had...
so i have to pali pali post whatever i want to share with you gals
instead of taking my time to share bit by bit everyday,
which will allow you gals to brainstorm and share your ideas/thoughts...
(yea, that's my original plan...)
anyway, just in case the press con is really brought forward,
i'd better share that the princesses have more or less decided to send 'rice-flowers' for the press con event.
as for how much we're gonna send, it will depend on whether we have your support or not.
in this post, i will cover just the rice-flowers for the press con,
and i will elaborate on our other proposed plans in subsequent posts
(and perhaps not today, since i'm busy with work)♥♥♥ WHAT ARE RICE FLOWERS ♥♥♥rice flowers are basically RICE + FLOWERS ^o^
these will be sent to the venue during the activity (for show)
and then the rice will be donated to the needy (usually charity organizations).
so it has the dual purpose of showing support and helping the less privileged.
this is more in tune with the princesses' philosophy
of minimizing waste and avoiding extravagance when it comes to idol-gifting.
the korean fanclubs and fansites will presumably send flowers as well,
but we believe that if the media see the flowers sent in from fans all over the asia/world,
they will be able to feel his popularity ^^
here are some reference pics so that you know what i'm talking about ^^
fans for goong musicalfans for shinee[highlight]♥♥♥ HOW MUCH ARE RICE FLOWERS ♥♥♥[/highlight]
the cost of this activity depends largely how many kilograms of rice (sacks) we choose to send,
and to a smaller extent, the amount of flowers you want to use to dress up the stand.
conservatively and realistically, per sack (with flowers) is 10kg and costs about 100,000 won,
that's about S$115 or USD80.
of course, it's alot cheaper if we go straight for just rice, without flowers
(but the vendor will usually put up a photo of flowers)
but i think it looks quite 'pathetic' (^.^
you can refer to the second pic above (shinee's fans....)
the last rice contribution's without flowers...
i think it will look quite bad if, say, LKHJ is the only one that sends rice without flowers (^.^
do note that these are just estimates,
and we will seek the help of korean fans to help us find the most cost-efficient way to do this.
we hope to strike a balance between helping as many needy people as possible,
and still being able to have a presentable showing for wuri hyun joong at the press con.
i've had a brief chat with the princesses on this,
and we're prepared to fork out our own money to do this
if... in the unfortunate event we're not able to raise any money from STARLINGs.
so regardless of the outcome of our fundraising campaign here at LKHJ,
we will still go ahead and send the rice-flowers.
