Looking at NUS with Block B4 Eyes

DEAN’S LIST NO. 65! I am so l33t.

There are several things that I need to document in ViewfromB4, however I haven’t got down to writing them because 1. I’m lazy, 2. After I’m done being lazy I’m busy, 3. I will somehow get them done when I find the willpower and time. These articles are:

1. Pre-IHG Supper, 12th January 2006. (short article)
2. The Kaira Gong campus concert held in Temasek Hall, 13th January 2006 (medium length)
3. The King Edward Hall VII play on 14th January 2006 at University Cultural Centre (long)
4. More CORS experience stuff

I don’t know why, but today the dining hall seemed additionally empty. Will write those sometime when I have enough sleep and willpower.

Okay, the comments system is up again. Discuss away!

I don’t know why the comments system is down. I can’t post comments myself. Will try to fix it.

To all our Muslim and Malay brethren, Selamat Hari Raya and Happy end-Ramadhan.

This is the first posting for my pet project, ViewfromB4. I will attempt to chronicle of all the happenings in NUS and Temasek Hall, as well as other things going on with a CLEAR and UNBIASED stance. If something is going on anywhere in NUS, I want to know about it, to write it down as part of public journalism. I started this pet project to give the undergraduates and students a sense of history of the smaller life in NUS.

My goal for this site is part of my vision: for the creation of a microcosm of civil society within NUS. Students, with their different aspirations in life working within their own societies and personal capabilities to consciously futher the development of society, or rather, the student body. Undergraduates, actively working to make the lowest strata of university, the undergraduates themselves, self-reliant and more independent of the top-level organization of the university.

I realise this is in itself a political aspiration. But as to fulfil this political aspiration, I realise this blog will have to be politcally unbiased. It will remain neutral and objective, and my personal thoughts will remain on my personal blog.

Here’s to future visions and future societies.
