Hi archers,

I have a great news to share with you all, one more of our archers has made it into national team. He is non other than Kelvin Lim, so if your dream is to made it into national team train hard and you will achieve it. Congratulation to him.

A reminder to you all, SP Open is THIS week. So if you all want to shoot on Monday, Wednesday or Friday do come down and shoot. That all, see you all on Tuesday training.

Hey archers! (:

This post is for the junior archers.

Attached below is your reflection sheet.

As told to most of you, you're required to photocopy a set for each of you.

Remember to do your reflections, and to bring them every training, enclosed neatly in a folder.

And since it has been posted on the blog,

there's no reason for anyone to 'not have the reflection paper'.

That would be all, train hard guys! (:

Sincerly,
Ingrid.

"Dear archers,

As the year is coming to an end, I'll like to remind you guys on what I'd shared during the AGM.

Korean archers have been so good in archery not because they are Korean, but because they have trained enough to be this good.
Likewise, NP archers have been doing well in competitions and bringing back the Poly-ITE cup for the 5th time not because we are NP archers, but because the seniors have been training hard enough to achieve all these.

I hope you guys always remember that winning don't just come like this. It comes with hard work, hard work and hard work. Input = Output."

As said in the Facebook post of our old vice-president Tan Silie, the reason Ngee Ann Archery Club have been winning all these years is not because we are Ngee Ann archers but because of the hard work we put into training.

Coach is very upset and disappointed with the attendance nowadays. All training are compulsory. How many time do you have to be reminded.

Going out with your friends or relatives (including BBQs, Chalet, and Birthday celebration) is NOT a valid reason to skip training. Training is only on every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. I am very sure that you can go out on other days or after training. Manage and Balance your own time well if you truly want to succeed.

You will not skip school to attend outing or other events and Training is as official as going to school. In the past, any archers with attendance below 80% every semester will not be eligible to take part in any of the competitions. Also, there will be trial held before every competition and only those who hit the minimum score required are allow to take part. We took away these rules so that the archers can have more freedom and opportunities but i think that we have given too much.

We used to train the whole week during the holidays. It had already been reduced to only 4 days but some people are still not turning up. Especially when Coach is not around, it does not give you the right to choose whether to attend training or not. Do not take this luxury we gave you for granted.

It is your choice to choose whether to listen but if you fall, blame yourself.

"You don't have to be great to get started, but you have to get started to be great."

Morning: 10.30am-1pm

For those who are not obliged to help out, you can always come down to the Convention Centre (right wing) where our archery booth will be to help out. I strongly recommend all of you to come down when you are free as we are also short of manpower. It is also a good opportunity for all of you to experience the vibes of Red Camp. All you all need to do is to teach the campers how to shoot.

Hello Archers,

Congratulations on winning NP Archery's FIFTH OVERALL CHAMPIONS FOR MEN AND WOMEN POLITE 2011.

Firstly, I am very proud of all you, both the competitors and the supporters. You guys have shown great spirit and determination during the competition. Despite the various obstacles that we faced before and during the competition, you guys took it with stride and WON LIKKA BOSS. It was both fulfilling (and some what entertaining) watching all of you doing your best.

Secondly, I want to give special thanks to the women's team for showing unwavering resilience during the 2nd day. I was rather impressed by how the junior women's team handled the pressure. Good Job!

Thirdly, for the rest of the juniors, take this competition as a good experience for you. Now you know how exciting archery can be. As I have said during BAC, "If you come to training and train hard, it will be easy to win the POLITE or any competitions." However, to those who did train hard, but did not receive your expected results Acknowledge and learn what you lacked then, and fuel it towards your training from now on. What ever you guys have felt then, all the seniors did too.

Lastly, YES, we did win the championship. YES, we did own the Men's Category and YES, we did make an awesome comeback for the Women's team. However, we could have handled our victory with more Humility. I understand the pressure you guys were in, especially the juniors. Nonetheless, it still does not justify us acting like we owned the place. I hope to see better behavior irregardless we win or lose. (but lets win okay? :)

Once again, CONGRATS ARCHERS!

We will shoot likka boss. We shall win likka boss.

Zulhilmi Ariff

Archers, do send Quan Jie whether you will be taking the shuttle bus service on Sat and Sunday. Quan Jie, send me the list latest by Wednesday.

In addition, keep yourselves fit until POLITE. Continue to do some exercises and please remember to do some stretching. Constantly have a winning mentality. No matter what your score or your condition, you have trained hard. Never judge your opponent, only focus on yourself. Keep this in mind.

Hi Archers,

I want all the competing and non-competing to be present tomorrow. I will be going through the POLITE format and detailing of the competition.

I will only be at the field after 3pm as Ill be having a Uni workshop from morning.

Archers, just to let you know, this year's POLITE will probably the most important one as compared with our previous 4 POLITES. If we win this year, we get to keep the trophy, FOREVER. We can only do so if we win for 5 years straight.

Lets not waste the efforts of our predecessors and give it our all!! HWAITING!!

Regards,
Zulhilmi Ariff
President

Hi Archers,

Congrats for giving your best in today's Beep Test. Let this be a gauge of your current fitness (and perseverance). However, I am not used with someone calling our club's fitness 'average'. I believe, we as NP Archers are much more capable than being called that. We are going to find a way to increase our overall fitness levels without much interference to our shooting :)

On a side note, I am aware that some of the juniors are keeping their bows in school. I STRONGLY urge all of you especially those competing in POLITE to bring their bows home and do some bow training. Never underestimate bow training as it can improve your shooting and score too. If you feel your poundage is easy to hold, then hold it there for 10 sets of 1min or 30secs?

and archers, if you have any feedback at all regarding the training or other matters, feel free to voice it out or email us cca_archery@connect.np.edu.sg or me zulhilmi_b_ariff@hotmail.com

we are the best, so lets train and persevere as one.

Regards,
Zulhilmi Ariff
President

2011-07-17T18:54:00.000+08:00

All Committee members,

There will be a short meeting tomorrow after the 'Beep' Test. It will be regarding our next steps towards and after POLITE. I hope to cover certain issues before we meet again for our next official meeting since it has been awhile since we held one.

No minutes required*

And Hweeping, get the amount ready by tomorrow, thank you.

See You all tomorrow.

good luck for the 'test'!

Dear archers,

If you're an Ngee ann archer, please read this post carefully. I do not repeat this over and over again.

Okay, jokes aside please!

1) I don't care whether coach is around or not, you have to come down for training on every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Try to plan your outing/gathering/project/homework/etc aside. If you really have difficulties and really have to leave early do let Jun Xiong (Me)/ Quan Jie know IN ADVANCE!

2) No junior is allowed to shoot without the companion of any senior on the field. Junior who goes against this will be severely punished. If you really want to shoot during your "free period", let Quan Jie or Guo feng know (best if you can let them know in advance) Please get this point very clearly, i am not trying to stop anyone from shooting. This is the rule by SDAR and we do not hope to see Ms June giving anymore warnings.

3) Only proper attires are allowed on the field, i don't have to elaborate much on this.

YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!

4) Anyone who cannot turn up for training must inform Me/Quan Jie and coach for whatever reasons you have. Please be a responsible archer!

No excuse of not reading the blog!
I hope i have make myself clear, anyone who fails to do all this above will be punished.
Spread the love!

NO COMPLAINS WHEN YOU GOT PUNISHED :)

Regards,

Jun Xiong

Dear archers,

Those archers that are going for PO-LITE, you all will have to take a beep test and pass in order to represent Ngee Ann to shoot in PO-LITE. Miss.June will be conducting the beep test, so we will meet at kismis basketball court at 7PM on monday(18/7/11). If you injury yourself or can't take the beep test, you will have to produce a letter from doctor and show it to Miss.June.

That all.

QuanJie

2011-07-10T21:39:00.001+08:00

Hi archers,

I hope you all have enjoy the training camp.

Please take note that this coming week will be sport fiesta, and our CCA have been selected to be in it. We will have a try out session for those people who are interested in Archery. The date of our try out sessions are Tuesday(12/7/11) and next Tuesday(19/7/11). Its during our training days, so some of the archers will help out and some will continue to train.

I want all the junior who have loan wooden bow from the club to come down to the field by 430pm. If your lesson end by 5pm or later do inform me about it. That would be all, rest well and see you all on Tuesday.

Regards,
QuanJie

2011-07-10T21:04:00.002+08:00

Hi Archers,

I hope all of you have benefited from the training camp. If you have muscles cramps, its perfectly fine :) Just give it a few days and do some stretching and it'll be fine.

On a lighter note, I can see that all of the juniors are improving in your shooting. Do not be easily bothered or worried about the problems you are facing now. All of the seniors have been through and overcame them. You shall too.

Keep the spirit of the training camp going on even during normal training days. You know the standard that is required to win and the spirit to get you there. So train hard yeah!

UPDATED

Dear Archers,

The time has come to pay our semester fees.

What is it you ask?

The semester fees are essential funds that NP Archery requires to upkeep its equipments such as the target boards, wooden bows, platinum arrows, miscellaneous tools (screwdriver, jig) and lots more. You might have noticed that our boards are always on the brink of falling apart. So these fees are VERY important to buy or maintain those boards to facilitate in our training.

Those of you who are currently borrowing the club's equipment, the price of the semester fees is a small sum compared to the actual price of the whole set of equipment you are using now. For those of you who are using their own equipments, the fees would GREATLY assist you in your training as mentioned above.

The semester fees:

Members: $25

I will give you guys up till this Sunday, 10 July 2011 to pass to Hwee Ping the semester fees.

For the training camp, i want EVERYONE to bring two 500ml water bottles. Please do not find any excuses of bringing 1.5 or 1litre of bottle. i want 2 of 500ml water bottles, no one is exceptional. Get it before the camp as we have something prepared for you guys. Take note that we will not be providing meals so you all have to settle it on your own. We will gather at c2 around 5.30pm, for those who do not know where is c2 its located near the sports hall.

Last but not least, PLEASE BRING ENOUGH MONEY FOR THE CAMP.

That's all
Regards,
Quan Jie

2011-07-04T23:50:00.000+08:00

Dear Archers,

As seen in the images above, our dear vice-president seem to be way over his head. He compared his grouping with IM DONG HYUN (btw for anyone who don't know who that is, he is rank maybe first or second in the FITA ranking in the world) and he stated that their grouping are about the same.

For the last image, he went to shit so that was for the fun of it.

Okay, an important lesson here:
1) Confidence is important, even though I don't have much myself but lets compare your vice-president score with mine and you will see that it is important. (Over-confidence is good too just don't show to in front of people. I mean it is better to have over-whelming amount of confidence than to have none at all)

Well have fun shooting.

2011-07-04T21:54:00.000+08:00

Hi Archers,

I just want to share this video with y'all. Just goes to show, stuff do happens to the best at times. So train hard, prepare yourself mentally!

Take this as a lesson.

Regards,
Zulhilmi Ariff
President

2011-07-04T02:31:00.000+08:00

Hi archers,

Please do take note of the following.

The fines
Under $1 Category:

-Late Coming

Absence of:
-Water bottle
-Towel
-Proper Training Attire

If you are late, you better make sure you pay the fine.

For water bottle and towel, we will be checking who are the people who did not bring the items after warm up.

Any archer who did not wear proper training attire for the whole training will have to pay the fine.

Please also take note that for late coming, there will still be punishment on top of the fine. Juniors 100burpees, seniors 200burpees.

Equipment Payment

Archers are to pay equipment fees to coach ASAP.

HweePing

Dear archers,

I'm going to tell you all what to write on the first part of the indemnity form, as some of you ask me how to fill up.

Organising Student Club: Archery
Title of Activity: Training Camp
Nature of activity: Overnight Stay
Start Date/Time of Activity: 8/7, 6pm End Date/time of Activity: 10/7, 9am
Venue of Activity: loft
Country/City of Activity: Singapore

2011-07-03T09:37:00.000+08:00

Hi Archers,

Here is the indemnity form that you must print out and hand it in to us by TUESDAY, 5th July2011.

If you dont hand it in on time, you wont be able to stay in the loft. For those of you who were not present during Saturday's training yesterday, I would like to see all of you during the training camp. During the camp, we will be teaching all of you as much as possible on how to prepare for the upcoming competition.

If possible, we would like to teach you about other technical stuff such as making a nocking point (if there is time). This camp would probably be a gauge for you to see your level of skill as compared with other competitors. I will not tolerate any lame excuses for not coming.

And some advice, if anyone of you are experiencing some muscle cramps after training, I strongly recommend that you do some stretching until the next training. It'll help to loosen your muscles.

see you next friday!

Zulhilmi Ariff

Hi Archers!

Today's post is shared by COACH!

Well, I am just helping her to post it. I believed that coach had went through a lot of trouble to find this article for us, so I hope everyone would spare some time and read it.

Basically, the article is talking about Bob Parsons 10 Rules for success in Business, Life in General and of course, shooting!

So.. Let's get started.

1. Get and stay out of your comfort zone.

"Believe that not much happens of any significance when we're in our comfort zone. I hear people say, 'But I'm concerned about security.' My response to that is simple: 'Security is for cadavers.' "

2. Never give up.

"Almost nothing works the first time it's attempted. Just because what you're doing does not seem to be working, doesn't mean it won't work. It just means that it might not work the way you're doing it. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it, and you wouldn't have an opportunity."

3. When you're ready to quit, you're closer than you think.

"There's an old Chinese saying that I just love, and I believe it is so true. It goes like this: 'The temptation to quit will be greatest just before you are about to succeed.' "

4. Always be moving forward.

"Never stop investing. Never stop improving. Never stop doing something new. The moment you stop improving your organization, it starts to die. Make it your goal to be better each and everyday, in some small ways. Remember the Japanese concept of Kaizen. Small daily improvements eventually result in huge advantages."

5. Be quick to decide.

"Remember what General George S. Patton said: 'A good plan violently executed today is far and away better than a perfect plan tomorrow.' "

6. Measure everything of significance.

"I swear this is true. Anything that is measured and watched, improves."

7. Anything that is not managed will deteriorate.

"If you want to uncover problems you don't know about, take a few moments and look closely at the areas you haven't examined for a while. I guarantee your problems will be there."

8. Never expect life to be fair.

"Life isn't fair. You make your own breaks. You'll be doing good if the only meaning fair has to you, is something that you pay when you get on a bus (i.e., fare)."

9. Don't take yourself too seriously.

"Lighten up. Often, at least half of what we accomplish is due to luck. None of us are in control as much as we like to think we are."

10. There's always a reason to smile.

"Find it. After all, you're really lucky just to be alive. Life is short. More and more, i agree with my little brother. He always reminds me: 'We are not here for a long time, we're here for a good time!' "

[Source]

After you had read through the 10 rules for success, I really hope that you guys could think about it and apply it in your life and even in archery.

Let's train hard together for POLITE and all other competitions!

Regards,
Lek Kiang

Training camp!

2011-06-30T12:35:00.004+08:00

Hi everyone!

Just a gentle reminder to those who always skip the trainings, POLITE is on 30th and 31st July. There will be a training camp next Fri, Sat and Sun (8,9,10th) July 2011.

You all will be staying in "Loft at Kismis" for the camp. There will be no packing list provided for you guys, so do prepare all the necessary items you need (toiletries, clothings, medications, etc). Spread around, Thanks!

Happy training guys! :)

UPDATED!!
Hello Archers!!

It has been awhile since I posted something. Busy Busy :"( Anyway, holidays are OVER. Which means that we shall revert to our official timings for training.

However, from now till POLITE, the field will be booked from 5-8pm EVERY TUESDAY. Training on Thursday will remain as usual. I will update you guys about any changes. Do use any free time you have and come down and shoot. Official training days are compulsory and those who are not consistent in their attendance will not be considered for the upcoming competitions. We want to see archers who work hard and win through their own efforts.

I am doing my best to get the new equipments to arrive asap. So juniors, you may have to bear with your current situation for awhile. Remember guys, archery is not all about shooting, you have to train your bodies too. :D

The longest post ever but please read it!

2011-06-12T23:45:00.005+08:00

Hello archers,

Your mental control your performance, skills, and focus when shooting so it is a very important factors to all athletes and archers.
Here are some tips I have for you to help you train and improve your mental thus shooting and trust me, they work.

1) ''To achieve in sports you first have to have a dream, and then you must act on that dream. The best athletes are those who truly enjoy what they are doing and display a tremendous amount of work ethic. They continue to persevere in spite of setbacks and never lose sight of their ultimate goals. "
[Dianne Holum, Olympic gold medalist in Speed Skating.]

2)"Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and, most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do."
[Edison Arantes do Nascimento, Greatest footballer of all time.]

3)"It is not necessarily the amount of time you spend at practice that counts; it is what you put in practice!"
[Eric Lindros, Olympic Gold and Silver Medalist, Ice Hockey.]

Please do not misunderstand the meaning of the quote above. As Singaporean athletes, we do not have as much time to train as compared to oversea athletes as we have to care about our education. We are still lack of training and we have to train more so that we will have the strength and skills, especially the juniors and some seniors.

This quote simply means to us that is not just going to training and shoot for the sake of shooting and expect a good result, is what you put into training. Focusing on the correct form and the things that you have to do or the things that coach tells you to do every shot and every end.

4)"If you don't practice you don't deserve to win."
[Andre Kirk Agassi, Former world number one tennis player.]

5)"Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect."
[Vince Lombardi, Legendary American Football Coach.]

Last but not least,
6)"Use sport performance videos to practice imagery regularly."
[Edgar K. Tham, Singapore Sports Council Sports Councillor.]

The using of videos to practice imagery is widely used within Ngee Ann Archery club itself. Most of your seniors including me, often search and watch videos of world class archer practicing for example, the former world best female recurve archer Park Sung Hyun.

After watching the videos several times, we learn the form and mentally rehearse the images as clearly as possible before physically doing them.

It is a very important key to remember and image the world best archer shooting or the form or feeling of your most perfect arrow shot in your mind before shooting as it allow you to have a constant focus and gives you the rhythm and consistency you need for archery.

That is all for now.
Practice and remember all this and you will see yourself standing on the podium of the Olympics someday like the owners of the quotes above. Dare to dream, dare to achieve.

Thank you.

Regards,
Keith Teo

2011-06-11T19:34:00.000+08:00

Hi ArcherS!

Thank You for the memorable event today :) The curry was spicy. *random*

However, it does not change the fact that POLITE is still looming near. Do set goals for yourselves every single training. Goals that will ultimately allow you to achieve your aim for a medal in POLITE.

Do take note that, Coach can only send a fixed number of archers for each category. So Juniors, if you want to go for POLITE, you have to train hard. Like REALLY Hard. Take the opportunity during these holidays to come down and train. Sacrifices have to be made if you want to achieve something. All of your seniors have done so.

I hope to see all of you achieve the standard Ngee Ann Archery has produced thus far :)

i will update the available training days soon.

Regards,
Zulhilmi Ariff

2011-06-09T22:17:00.005+08:00

Dear archers,

Training will resume this Saturday at 8a.m. Although exam have just ended, we have to train and prepare for the upcoming POL-ITE in July! Your only chance of winning a colours award!

[UPDATE] Committee meeting have been rescheduled to start of training after warm up. We have tons of stuff to settle.

We have been the POL-ITE Champion for 4 consecutive years ever since POL-ITE started. Will we uphold this name for the 5th year? It all depends on YOU.

2007

2008

2009

2010

2011??

"If you believe you can, you can."

There will be training almost everyday during the 2 weeks of holiday.
Is up to you to sacrifice your time and put in more effort to train.
Even if it's just 1 or 2 hours a day, your effort will eventually pay off.
Every medal and ranking will contribute to the overall champion cup so everyone must do their part.

"The man who can drive himself further once the effort gets painful is the man who will win."

There will also be committee meeting this Saturday after training. We have tons of stuff to settle.

See ya all on sat.

Regards,
Keith Teo

2011-06-05T22:53:00.002+08:00

To all junior archers,

Most of you have already got your equipment loan (risers, limbs, quivers, sights, strings) from the club. This serves as a reminder that

The equipment loaned to you is your responsibility. Do not allow any one who is not a current member of Ngee Ann Polytechnic Archery Club to set up and/or use the bow.
When you put your signature in the loan log book, you are committed to take good care of the equipment. You are also agreeable to pay for losses, damages or other liabilities of the equipment you have loaned from the Club as deemed fair by the club.
All losses, damages or other liabilities of the equipment in your care must be reported immediately to the Quartermasters.
The bow must not be assembled in public. To transport the equipment best, simply put them in a bag. It is fine for some parts of the dismantled bow to be protruding out of your bag.
You must sign on the return column of the loan log book through the Quartermasters upon return of all equipment that is written in the log book in their original condition.

You are expected to bring your equipment for every training when you are able to shoot on the field, unless otherwise stated. This means to say that you can don't bring your bow for Tuesday PT trainings sessions after school. (For clarification: You are to bring your bow this coming Tuesday training).

Also note that the following will be required for every archer, as the club will not be providing these equipment. You can buy the following from Coach:

Finger tab
Chest guard
Arm guard
Quiver (optional)

If you have any questions with regards to club equipment you may approach the Quartermasters Guo Feng or me.

Your AQM

Hello Archers!

I hope all of you are doing well. I expect the juniors to start exercising now for your own benefit.

To all the freshies out there, our registration is now closed. If you had missed the make-up session for BAC yesterday, it is most unfortunate for you. We do not wish to prolong our registration as it would interfere with our training schedules. For those who are really keen on joining, you may join us again next year. There are really no difference in benefits if you were to join in year 1 or in year 2.

In other news, there will be an interesting event that will be taking place in NP. It is called 'Run for Fund'. Basically, students or staff will have to run on treadmills. For every 1km clocked, Ngee Ann will donate $50 to the NP Student Aid Fund. Those who run more than 2km will get a tub of Cornery Popcorn.

Let us do our part for our fellow NP-ians! :)

Zulhilmi Ariff

Hello J. Archers!!

Congratulations on completing your Basic Archery Course! I hope that you have learned and benefited from these two days. However, keep in mind that there are still loads of essential technical know-how that you will be learning thoughout your stay with archery. All will be taught to you in due time :)

For those who were unable to make it for the two days (BAC and test day), there will be a final make-up for you guys. Those who have failed will also be taking the re-test on the same date. Futher details will be released soon. In the mean time, I would advise all juniors to start keeping yourself fit. Do some jogging, walking up stairs, sit-ups etc. You have joined archery, a sports CCA, so do keep in mind that doing simple exercises such as the examples stated is going to be a norm.

Start now and training will be easier. Maintain it and you shall succeed.

In other news, two of our archers have made it into the National Team (NATT) !! Congratulations to Dominic Tan and Keith Teo! Keith will also be participating in an International Archery Competition that will be held in Bangladesh. (Title to be known at a later date) NPArchery FTW!!

May our success bear witness to our tireless efforts :)

Dear Freshies,

[UPDATED]
I would first like to welcome you all to Ngee Ann Polytechnic. As stated in the earlier posts, in order to become a certified archer, it is compulsory to attend the basic archery course(BAC). Details are as follow:

Date: 30th April & 1st May (Saturday & Sunday)
Time: 9am - 3pm (Estimated time)
Location: LT 78
Dress Code: Sportswear and covered shoes (preferably sports shoes) *No Jeans or Bermudas
Things to Bring: Pen, Waterbottle
Fee: $40 (Payment to be made on the day itself, 30th April 2011)

Please note that you will be taught by one of the most recognised coach in Singapore who is the national coach of Singapore's archery team before she joined Ngee Ann Archery Club. Basically, you will be learning the fundamentals of archery theoretically and practically under a great coach at a price that is much lower than learning it elsewhere.(From what we understand, BAC usually cost from $60 onwards elsewhere)

*IMPORTANT

There will be a test that covers both the theory and practical aspect of the course on the 2nd day of the course. If you fail, there will be a free-of-charge re-test which will be conducted when training starts in week 3 after BAC.

To register, either email your full name, student number and handphone number to cca_archery@connect.np.edu.sg OR you can register on the day of the course itself.

For anyone who cannot make it for BAC but wants to join archery, do inform us by sending us an email to cca_archery@connect.np.edu.sg or message me at 9099 5029. You must include your full name, student number and handphone number in the email or message. We will arrange a makeup session for you during one of the training days after the actual BAC.

If there are any questions, feel free to message me at 9099 5029. Please indicate your full name and student number before the question so that I would know who I am communicating with.

Lastly, anyone who is interested to join the club is welcome so if you are a year 2 or year 3 who wants to join, it is still possible. If anyone has friends who want to join, they are welcome too but please tell them to check the blog for updates and COME FOR BAC.

One more thing, training freshies will start after you have completed BAC.

Thank you.

Regards,
Keith Teo
Vice-President

P.S To anyone who leaves a comment on the discussion board on the right side of the blog, your questions will be answered but I don't guarantee that we will see it all the time although we do check the blog everyday for enquiries
