Student Leaders' Retreat 09
Student Leaders' Retreat 09
The leaders arrived in style and received nice door gifts, notes and files from our friendly Group Management Staff. What they did not expect, was that they were cunningly separated to ensure for 2 days, the leaders will work and play together with people they were not familiar with.

NUSDE @ Heeren
The GYSB campaign was targeted at youth to promote responsible drinking and to stop the bad habit of binge drinking. That is to say, drinking is fine but please only do it in moderation.
Our dancers looked picture perfect during a photo-taking session in between performances while waiting for their turns. We had so much fun taking the pictures and exclaiming we found the perfect "photo studio"!Obviously, they did not need 2 beers to look cool!
NUS Piano Ensemble's Touch '09 Concert @ Esplanade - A note from the Photographer
This was an interesting assignment, because Esplanade has been one of the mysterious places in Singapore that I had always wanted to explore. As I was guided by one of the crew to enter, there is a beehive-like kind of maze there that I will never find my way the first time without a guide.
First thing I did was to explore the performance area to look for angles and opportunities. I felt at ease because I am working with my friends from NUS Piano Ensemble, and that made it easier for me to get closer to them to get the most natural shots.
You have no idea how this whole place look like by only looking at this photo. I am not going to reveal everything (for security reason) :P.
I took about 500 shots during the rehearsal, knowing that this is the only chance for me to take some really close up shots and get closer with the performers.
Everyone looks so smart and glamorous after they dressed up.
After the shots at rehearsals, I took a nap in the performers’ room and waited for my friend whom I invited for the show. The music is amazing, it was totally different from what I heard while shooting at the rehearsal, and I could pay attention to the melody, and breathe together with the music.
I was explaining to my friend, which guy is my mentor in keyboarding, who are the engaged couple, and how good these people are. Yeah, it was natural that my NUSPE friends seemed a bit nervous having a full house for the night, but overall it was still a great show!
NUSPE Touch 09 success!

CFA Appreciation Nite 09
NUS Centre For the Arts Director Ms. Christine Khor addressed and thanked all for the good work put in the past academic year, adding that being in the Arts is definitely spritually rewarding. It was also announced that the theme for NUS Arts Festival 2010 has been fixed as "Through Asian Lens", as excited whispers were heard all around.
Certificates were then given out to recognise and award groups who have put in much effort in their performances and shows; the leaders came up one by one to receive the awards from Ms. Yeow Ju Li, our Deputy Director.
After the certificates had been given out, all were treated to a sumptuous spread and we had a great time catching up with each other, exchanging ideas about performances or just having a good laugh.
