foodfest updates

Hi everyone!

Just a reminder, foodfest is just around the corner! please mark down on your calendar the following important dates:
1. 4 Sept: deadline for submission of dish name as well as ingredients required.
2. 11 Sept: food tasting
3. 17 Sept: actual food fest!

1. Please submit (via the google doc) your dish name and the required ingredients by 23 59 on 4 Sept! try to be as specific as possible as to the type of meat you need, and the amount. The ingredients bought will be kept at Winthrop for you to collect. Please do collect them ASAP after they are bought. We will let you know.

2. Food tasting will take place on 11 Sept, in the late afternoon/evening. A more specific timing will be given closer to the date.

3. The venue of food fest is at Merson Courtyard, right outside the UC. I have booked the venue from 2.30 to 8.30pm, and the actual event is to last from 4 to 7.30, so that should give us more than enough time to set up and clear up.

I would like to urge the sophomores to cook some dishes! Don’t let the juniors and seniors steal all the glory of cooking. Haha. Also, freshies, please do volunteer to help out. We really need your help! In the google doc, just put down your name and under Remarks, put something like “willing to help out”. Your help is very much appreciated. :)

Here’s the googledoc sign up sheet. https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AqEUVNJoxcIDdGZjblQ5ZzdJdy1EZ2p0WktrNG9OS3c&hl=en&authkey=CML-2qsD

Don’t wait. Sign up now and help us make this year’s foodfest a success!

FW: Pickup Floorball On Fridays!!!

hi everyone! here's an email from daryl, regarding floorball. if you love playing floorball, here's your chance!

Huan Kiat Koh
President
Singapore Students' Association

Hi all!

Welcome back to a new semester of school! Hope everyone has been having a
great first week so far.

With the new academic year upon us, it means we are back to our usual
pickup floorball schedule. This semester, however, we are fortunate to
have the Skibo Gym Arena room booked from 6pm to 8pm up till the first
half of the semester, after which we will have to book it again. This
means that we do not have to play rogue pickup games in Weigand gym and
risk getting kicked out! We have proper goals too!

Also, we will be having a booth at the activities fair on the 1st of
September from 4.30pm to 6.30pm so if you could perhaps you could get your
friends to sign up at our booth! Torstein and I will be manning the booth
and anyone is free to join us as well! Hope to see you there!

So come on down and join us for a fun-filled two hours. Bring your friends
too! All you need are comfy clothes and a pair of running shoes. Sticks
and balls are provided!

Free Wings Lunch on Sunday, Aug 29!

Hi everyone!

Hope everyone's settling into classes well and getting back to school life!(:

So this Sunday is our annual Atomic Wings lunch! Come meet up at 12.00pm on Sunday, Aug 29, at the bus stop outside Morewood and we'll all go to the restaurant together. It would be sponsored by some of our exco members(:

It would just be a fun, friendly lunch for anyone and everyone who wants to eat chicken wings! There a new flavor out, for those who have been there before, so this should be exciting!

Please come down, it would only be for a short time for everyone to eat together! This is especially dedicated to the freshmen who have just joined us; and from all of us here from the previous batches, welcome to CMU, Pittsburgh and SSA!

---

Also an update I'd like to give you would be on the Singapore Food Feste. This would tentatively be held on September 17th, and we are looking for chefs and anyone who would like to help out with making delicious Singaporean food! Here's a google link for interested people: https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AqEUVNJoxcIDdGZjblQ5ZzdJdy1EZ2p0WktrNG9OS3c&hl=en&authkey=CML-2qsD. In addition to that, please let me know about your interest in helping out. Some of you may like to be in charge of a dish, and need people to help, some people may want to help but not know what to do and some people may even have a group already in mind - whatever the case, let us know and we'll help you out in getting what you need!

On the same note, the food tasting to ensure high quality of food would be held on September 11th, for a short while. More details would follow shortly.

I'd just like to urge everyone to join us in making yummy dishes to sell. You know you want some laksa, chicken rice or bak kut teh, so come help make it!

See you on Sunday!

Cheers,

FW: Asst. Consultant Opportunity: Singapore Country Specialist - September 9, 2010 (Pittsburgh, PA)

hi everyone,

please read the following and let me know if you're interested or have any questions. thanks!
- Huan Kiat

Dear Huan Kiat Koh:

My name is Christina Dinh, and I am a Country Specialist Associate at Aperian
Global, a cross-cultural consulting and training firm. I am writing because I came
across your contact information through the Carnegie Mellon Singaporean Students
Association website during an online search for a Singapore Country Specialist. I
was hoping you or someone you know may be interested in the following opportunity.

Aperian Global delivers a blend of consulting, training, and web tool services that
aim to develop the capabilities of individuals, teams, and organizations to work
effectively across cultures in order to create a sustainable global future. Aperian
Global's services include organizational consulting, one-on-one coaching,
teambuilding, and classroom training.

We are looking for a Singapore "Country Specialist" (CS) to join our Lead
Consultant on September 9, 2010 for a cross-cultural training in Pittsburgh, PA. A
CS is ideally someone who is a native of the country, or someone who has experience
in Singapore and is accustomed to the working conditions there. The CS typically
joins the Lead Consultant for a full day, 9:00 am - 5:00 pm, to give a personal
perspective on what it is like to live and work in Singapore. The CS will not be
required to prepare a presentation, and simply needs to assist the training program
with personal perspectives and experiences. We typically offer monetary compensation
of 200 USD for the full day.

This particular program is for a Assistant General Counsel International Commercial
Lawyer at a global construction and agriculture company. She, her husband will be
moving to Singapore. They are very interested in learning as much as possible about
Singapore culture, the business atmosphere and their new city. The CS is vital to
their smooth transition.

If you or someone you know may be interested in this opportunity, please get in
touch with your CV/resume, if possible. Feel free to forward this message that
details the one-time position to other organizations or individuals who may be
interested. This is a great opportunity for colleagues, graduate students, family,
or friends with experience in Singapore to share their culture with others. Your
assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind regards,

Christina
