Wild Oats retuns as our main sponsor
Blackout is delighted to be sponsored again by Wild Oats - the bar on Emily Hill.
“Sit on the wooden deck and sip a sparkling pear cider with Cuban music playing softly in the background. The sun sets in a divine display of gold and silver rays, breaking through the clouds. Watch, as the sky turns into deep plums and burgundy and the first star begins to appear; the only concern on your mind is whether you should have another drink."
SOWING WILD OATS ON THE HILL
Wild Rocket opens new bar on mount emily
Wild rocket at Mount Emily is delighted to announce the arrival of its sister bar – wild oats; the bar on the hill.
The Place
Set literally next door to wild rocket at Mount Emily, wild oats is housed in a charming colonial mansion amidst a sprawling garden.
For those who prefer cool air-conditioned comfort, the indoor area has classic black leather armchairs and designer bar stools. Outdoors, the chenai wooden deck with nostalgic rattan chairs is the perfect place to sip champagne and indulge in star gazing amidst the lush tropical greenery.
Emily Hill
Being in the Bras Basah-Bugis district which is set to be the arts, culture, and entertainment hub in the city center, wild oats shares the premises with Emily Hill – a multi-talented and multi disciplinary group of creative people including an art gallery (MonsoonAsia Gallery), a glass artist (Ms. Tan Sock Fong), a theatre school (Theatre Training & Research Program) and renowned sculptor Mr. Sun Yu-li.
Drinks
Although wild oats has a wide selection of drinks – easy drinking wine from both old and new world, local and international beers (including Hoegarden and Stella Artois) and classic/original cocktails, the guests have mostly been drinking the Lambrini (a slightly sparkling perry from the UK), Emily Royale (wild oats’ original champagne cocktail made with strawberry puree & crème de casis) and Mumm’s Champagne.
Food
A small but delectable selection of finger food is also available. A Greek favorite, the feta and spinach pie is given a local twist and made into Feta Tofu & Spinach Wantons at wild oats. There are also the very popular Parmesan Wings, only the mid-section is used (because that’s the best part!), deep fried to a golden crust and drizzled with your choice of homemade chicken-rice style super spicy chili sauce or a creamy gorgonzola sauce. If you want something more substantial, try one of the Hot Bitches (more politely known as Hot Dogs elsewhere), each one with different toppings including chili con carne & sautéed onions.
Wild Rocket
Opened in October 2005, Wild Rocket is a dream come true for lawyer-turned-chef, Willin Low who believes that the real purpose of cooking is to make people happy and thinks that that is the reason he enjoys cooking (and eating) so much..
Finally after 8 years as a lawyer, he decided to abandon the corporate world and convinced an Italian fine dining restaurant to hire him. Cooking has always been his passion and opening a bistro tucked away in a quaint trendy corner, his dream.
Seating 50 guests comfortably, the casual bistro with its floor-to-ceiling glass walls is located on the ground floor of the hip Hangout Hotel.
Wild Rocket serves what Will and his friends like to eat and drink - simple unfussy modern comfort food with easy drinking wines; lazy Sunday brunches with lots of martinis and mojitos.
Will believes in basic, uncomplicated cooking – letting the fresh ingredients speak for themselves . An advantage of being a self-taught chef is that Will has no culinary baggage that a classically trained chef might have. For example, he uses many local cooking technics and ingredients. Notwithstanding that, Will tries not to label his food as fusion food as he thinks that fusion food has been abused and overdone for gimmick’s sake. He says “There is fusion food and there is confusion food; proper fusion food should not have conflicting tastes instead it should be so good that no one thinks of it as fusion rather they would just say that is a clever way to cook a particular dish. I would like to think of our food as Modern Singaporean, just like me!”
As for Sundays, there is nothing like freshly squeezed orange juice to start the lazy all-day brunch, followed by scrambled eggs on toast with grilled fresh sausages and ending it with a cosmopolitan martini or a glass of sparkling wine.

Singapore After-Care Association
The Singapore After-Care Association (SACA) was formed in 1956 and was registered as a charity in 1984. The Association is a voluntary welfare organisation affiliated with the National Council of Social Service (NCSS) and is also a member of the Community Action for the Rehabilitation of Ex-offenders (CARE) Network.
SACA is the key agency providing welfare and rehabilitation services for discharged offenders and their families. The Association recognises that, upon release, the discharged offender would face problems related to employment, stigmatisation, acceptance by the family, etc. It also recognises that, during a client's imprisonment, the family may be faced with several emotional and financial problems.
SACA's aim is to assist discharged offenders and their families to cope with problems arising from the offending behaviour and the consequent incarceration. This is done with the belief that such assistance would give discharged offenders the chance to reintegrate into society successfully thereby reducing the chances of recidivism.
SACA is governed by a Constitution. The Association is managed by an Executive Committee, which comprises volunteers from the public and representatives from the Ministries of Manpower and Home Affairs, Prisons Department and the Singapore Police Force. The Committee is elected into office annually during the Annual General Meeting.

Reintegration Through Education
We believe that education helps ex-offenders reintegrate into society.
That's why Blackout@Emily 2009 will be supporting the Education Fund managed by SACA.
The Education Fund, or Edu-Fund, was set up by Singapore After-Care Association (SACA) to supplement the Lee Foundation Education Assistance Scheme and to provide further assistance to student-clients who needed financial support to complete their education.
The Edu-Fund works on an incentive principal in that eligibility for it depends on attaining certain grades/standards in the respective semester exams. In addition, the participation of student-clients in the various activities and workshops run for them count towards a system of earning credits that enables them to qualify for additional funding from the Edu-Fund.
On average a university student-client on LFEAS will get half of the course fee of $3,200 annually. This means that students will still have to come up with $1,600 themselves every year and this is where the Edu-Fund can make a big difference.
The proceeds from Blackout@Emily 2009 will go 100% to the Edu-Fund, which means all money raised will go to the beneficiaries.

Show Me The Money
Blackout@Emily 2009 hopes to raise SGD20,000.
The volunteers have worked out the details with Singapore After-Care Association for all the money raised to go towards the Education Fund managed by Singapore After-Care Association.
In organising Blackout@Emily 2009, we are striving to ensure that as much of the fund raised will go towards the cause. This means no decor, no frills, and everything sponsored.
Wild Oats is sponsoring the venue and providing two drinks at SGD12 (inclusive of GST) for every ticket sold at SGD50. Caelan & Sage is sponsoring PR and event consultancy and web-hosting. Thinking Designs is sponsoring design consultancy. And a lot more sponsors will be coming onboard in one way or another.
All monies will be managed by SACA, including tax reciepts for our donors. We'll be posting the Income and Expenditure statements on this blog in due time
We're serious about following proper accounting procedures in fund-raising, as serious as are in raising some serious funds (and fun).
If you need more information about accounting and finance for the event, please email blackout.emily@gmail.com or contact Christine at christine@saca.org.sg

Why Blackout?
When a city experiences a blackout, everything stops.
No lights. No TV. No internet. No air-conditioning. No everyday creature-comforts that runs on electricity.
During a blackout, we become sensitized to just how much the things around us means to us. And how much we have taken for granted.
Just as an incarcerated life goes through a Blackout, we too may have taken some members of our community for granted. Can a life that has gone through a Blackout re-adjust and reintegrate into society? Can a person who is here but really away for 10 years get back on the right track? Can a person regain his confidence and self-esteem and walk out of his own darkness? Where is the real Blackout?
Blackout celebrates the simple gesture of reaching out to light a candle in the dark. Just when it is needed most.
When there’s a Blackout, bring out the light.
