Can we join the club even though we are not a graduate student?
Is there any minimum requirement beside paying the club fees of $2K – $5K with monthly subscription?
Beside using the facilities in the club. Under the MOE regulation, Alumni association members are fall under Phase 2A1 catergory. Means easier to get into some good school?
Please advise……

1, For applicants within 3 years of obtaining their first degree, the entrance fee for lifelong membership is $2000 payable over 62 interest-free monthly instalments if they do not sign up the ongoing Super Deal. Under the Super Deal promotion, the new members will get $1000 Food & Beverage credits and at least 2 chances to win a grand prize of $10,000 cash once they sign up. For a fresh graduate, I think both are such good deals! I know we have to face so many bills when walking out of the campus. It is horrible! But it is all right. It is the price for us to have fun, networking and more recreational opportunities, especially when you are working under pressure.

2, Except the price, I think there is one more thing we need to consider. Are we the right group to join a club? If we join such a club, we seldom go there to use the facilities or join the events. Are we wasting the money? But if you are active enough, I think it is one of the best places to go after work. For instance, I like doing sports. Every Wednesday, I join NUSS Jogging Club to run around 4 kilometres in the evening. After that, I go to gym to do some excises which ensures me to have good stamina to play basketball in the weekend with my buddies. Every month, i spent more than $250 in food and beverage. I don’t think the price in NUSS is as that expensive as bars and restaurants in the city. One more thing,the quality is good!

3, As a NUSS staff, I admit we can not satisfy each member’s need. But the good thing is that we are walking on the right track. We keep on upgrading both the softwares and hardwares of the club. You will find the more than 70 million projects of Alumni Complex and Bukit Timah Guild House in 2008. You will see more and more new faces with sound educational background working in NUSS.

I am glad that there are so many people who are keen to join NUSS. I would like to find more opportunities to bring you to experience NUSS life if you are interested. Please let me know.

Thanks for reading!

Let’s not forget that NTU’s alumni is quite strong, considering the outcry over its name change almost a decade ago.

I don’t use WPA. I use WEP. I’ve written about my experience in a new entry.

BeOS was much, much better than OS X.

Next time inform early. Calligraphy cannot rush one. LOL…

So I post instead what I wrote on a card made for a few friends as they graduated:

As you graduate
And disappear from school,
I hope the you I know
Will not disappear, too.

p.s. wrt NUSSU: I think you should join later. Unless you’re job-hopping anytime soon, it be best you build trust through your work requirements first.

Networking can be done better if you sign up for courses at the various institutes for professions of interest. Then you’ll get to meet real on-the-job people—besides being able to get free/discounted tics for industry events and possibly get to ask real honchos questions (as I did for the Advertising Congress when I was a student member of IAS)—and possibly, a much more varied crowd as well.

Anywhere where people usually crowd is probably not a very interesting place to be, you can join the common mass lah, but I don’t find such experiences instructive; better you target a particular group event as opposed to… ‘WHOA… Whole of NUS wor!’ But that’s me lah. I try to find small openings rather than big ones. They give fresher experiences rather than stock-and-barrel ones.

Welcome to the Linux club. I used Ubuntu 6.06 LTS on my older dual P3 933MHz. And use Puppy Linux (USB bootup) for my IBM X32, no prob with wireless. The fun is in the learning and discovery process. Yes, I am not into current affairs all the time.
