Last cafe for this semester

Hey Everybody!

Well, because of the looming exams, this cafe will be the last one organized by IFG. However, this doesn't mean that we'll all retreat into little library corners and mug for the papers while forsaking our social life. We're still cool. We'll still go out for meals and stuff.

Ok, so here are the details:

Date: 2nd April 2008
Time: 6.00 pm /1800hrs
Location: PGP's Block 10 Music Room
Event: Final-Farewell-Fellowship-Function

Yup! Hope you all had a great time! All the best everyone!

Cheerio,
Dan Ryan

Gamelan (fo' real!)

Hello Everybody!

Well, appears that this Wednesday is the actual Gamelan event! Expect some fun when you learn the basics of Southeast Asian Music. Take it from me, it can be quite therapeutic. haha.

Ok, details as follows:

Date: 26th March 2008
Event: Gamelan Session
Meeting place: Arts Canteen Entrance, in front of LT9
Meeting time: 6.15 pm, or 1815hrs.

Yeap, hope everyone has a great time!

Cheerio!

Gamelan for Cafe (updated)

Hello everybody,

Sorry all you South East Asian Music enthusiasts! Appears that the session with the SEA music group has been cancelled, so instead of having an interesting time learning the basics of SEAsian music, we'll be having an interesting time eating dinner.

仕方がない, as my sensei used to say.

So anyway, now it is just dinner. As a democracy, however, I believe we'll all meet and then decide where to head over to, to get our vittles. (Now that's an archaic term!)

Cheerio!

Gamelan for Cafe

Hello everybody!

This Wednesday, we're going to the Gamelan room for South East Asian music stuff again! We did it last sem, thanks to Julian who helped us do the arranging, and we're gonna do it again. There are a couple of videos further down in the blog, so you can get an idea of what's going to happen.

So anyway, instead of running over to PGP this week, meeting will be a little later, and the meeting place will be different.

Meeting place: Arts Canteen
Time: 6.30 PM
Event: Gamelan room/South East Asian music

Yeap. Any issues, you know who to call.

Cheerio

Cafe for 5th March 2008

Hey everybody!

So anyway,

Place: Music Room, Block 10, PGP
Time: 5.55pm (It's always good to get there before the show starts)
Event: Movie screening

Yeap. Hopefully, there won't be an technical glitches like we experienced last sem when we tried to watch this Jay Chou film, but yeah.

OK, cheerio

Cafe for 20th Feb

Hello Everybody!

Hope you all had a good experience over the Chinese New Year holidays.

Anyway, the event for the next cafe will be dinner in Clementi. Location for the dinner itself is still undecided, but that's what your presence at the meeting point is necessary for, so that you can all have a democratic powwow and then head off for dinner. Heh.

Ok, details:

Date: 20th February
Time: 5.45 PM
Meeting Place: Bus stop outside the Central Library. If it's too crowded, meet at the open area between the bus stop and the central library.
Agenda: Dinner!

Ok, that's it from here.

Cheerio!

Chinese New Year

Hello Everyone!

First off, Happy Chinese New Year in advance, especially to all the Chinese students! For other international students who don't celebrate Chinese New Year on a regular basis, well this is your opportunity to get to experience some Chinese culture.

Ok, I know this is a bit late, but Science Faculty is going to be organizing a CNY dinner for the Chinese students on the night of 5th Feb. Yes, I know it's today, and I'm sorry I didn't post this up sooner...

Anyway, it'll be at PGP function room @6.30 pm.

As a result, there won't be any cafe this week on Wednesday.

Ok. I shall endeavor to update on a more regular basis for the following weeks.

Cheerio

First Cafe for 2008

Hey all!

Not sure if you went for the International Students' Orientation and heard about the IFG Cafe, or if you went for the Welcome Tea last Wednesday and they told you about it, or even if you're just an international student at NUS who happened to stumble upon this blog, but if you are interested in coming down to just hang out for a while and get to know other international students (and some local ones), come on down to the music room at PGP's block 10.

Here are the details:

Date: 23rd January 2008 (Wednesday)
Location: Music Room @ Prince George's Park Residence Block 10
Time: 6 pm ~ 7 pm
Program: Just a get-to-know-each-other session. Plus maybe discussions on what we would want to do next time.

So in case you were wondering how to get down to PGP, if you're anywhere on the Kent Ridge Campus, you can just take any A bus. That is either A1 or A2. Both will end up eventually at PGP's bus depot.

And if you don't know where the Block 10 Music Room is, you can just wait at the bus stop at PGP at 5.55 pm. Or if you arrive and there's no one there, you can contact Rixin at 96211073.

Yup, hope you can make it!

Cheerio
Dan Ryan
