MBA Programmae by International University of Japan

Hi guys.

Mr Manogaran, CEO of SINDA, has kindly brought to myattention a certain postgraduate scheme for all undergraduate Indians (doesn't matter which university you're from as long as you're a Singaporean or PR). I've summarized most of the information below:

1) Entire course to be taught @ International University of Japan.
2) Entire course will be taught in English.
3) Living expenses to be covered by the student.
4) Course fees may or may not be covered through an MOU, depending on the turnout for the day and any subsequent interest.

From what I've read @ their website, IUJ offers masters in Business Administration and International Relations Programme. For more information about their university, you can access the following link: http://www.iuj.ac.jp/

A representative from I.U.J. and a few of their professors will be coming down to deliver a talk to promote this programme to us. I personally feel its a good talk to attend even if you're not interested, as you could learn more about what exactly is taught in an MBA or what is required from oneself at the masters level.

If you are interested in an MBA, but not exactly sure as to where or when you would want to do it, its even better. By actually doing an MBA in Japan you are building up on very valuable international contacts and, as we all know, the Japanese are an extremely creative and hardworking bunch of people.

The talk is on 15th of September @ the Grassroots club sometime in the afternoon. Admission is absolutely free & all you need to do is to sign up with me. If you need anything, PLEASE give me a call! You can drop me an sms or email me.

Thanks!

Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu 2007

The islandwide treasure hunt kicked off on Monday 18th June 2007 at 9pm at SIM HQ, with a total of 10 participating teams (each consisting of 3 respective members), including TP, RP, NP, NYP, NIE & NTU. Considering the fact that the event was on a weekday, we were glad that many schools came forward to register to try their luck in clinching the cash prizes and of course, to have fun as well! Some of the checkpoints included places like SINDA building @ Balestier, The Cage @ Kallang, Alkaff Mansion, Bedok Jetty and the final checkpoint - Palawan beach @ Sentosa, where the prize-giving & closing of the event took place at the Southern Most Part of Continental Asia.

The Champions of the game was the girls' team from NIE-NTU...

while the 1st & 2nd runners-up titles were both clinched by the dudes from NTU...

Despite having their exams around the corner, we're indeed proud of the fact that the organizing team (comprising of Ali, Safiya, Rafi, Navin, Polly & Val) behind this event made sure everything flowed smoothly without any major problems. Soliciting for sponsors was another major feat they had to overcome & we're proud that they managed to do so effortlessly.

Attributing to the success of Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu 2007, SIM ICC has proudly declared the event as our very own trademark event and hope to continue with the organizing of this game on an annual basis, so as to further establish our club as an accomplished one.

Last but not least, a VERY BIG THANK YOU! to all our ICC members who reported early in the morning (donning their VV jerseys!) to help out in the event as checkpoint leaders, marshallers & ushers, without whom which this event wouldn't have been possibly a success. You guys have been an awesome bunch!
