Hey guys

Survival Japanese will be held this Friday, 14 September 2007.

Time: 4pm - ~5pm
Venue: LKCSB SR3.9

We welcome all JCC members who are interested to come for this Survival Japanese class even if you have no experience in the learning of Japanese. It is a great chance for you to meet up and make friends with the others who are from JCC!

For those coming, please think of two places, points A and B within walking distance near or in school. We will be learning basic greetings and ways to ask for directions.

Similar to the previous week, the room beside the survival japanese class i.e.SR 3.8 will still be booked by JCC from 3.30pm till 6.30pm and you guys are free to come to the SR to do your work or simply to chill and chit chat with the others.

Thanks!

This is a reminder that JCC is going to have a informal gathering session this friday

Event: TGIF
Time: 3.30pm to 6.30pm
Venue: LKCSB SR 3.8
Date: 14th Sept Friday

Do also note that from JCC is having the Survival Japanese Class from 4pm to 5pm just next door at SR 3.9.

After the lesson, we can all gather in the TGIF room to mingle and chit chat. We will then go for dinner together at about 6.30pm.



I would also like to take this chance to include the details for Waseda Shibuya Senior High School visit on Saturday.

Event: Waseda Shibuya Senior High School (WSSH) Visit
Time: 11.30am
Venue: Meet at Clementi MRT station

IMPORTANT: For all old and new members of JCC, please email us on your attendance and whether are you meeting us at Clementi. (except for the new members who already indicated during Big Gathering) this is crucial as we need to know roughly who we are going to expect and look out for at Clementi MRT on Saturday.

Basically WSSH is having their annual school festival and SMU JCC has been invited to go for their festival.

There is no official end time. We are all free to stay in their school for as long as you wish until the end of their event. As there is no transport provied, everyone will have to make their own way home.

As for the meeting up at Clementi MRT station, we will allow some time to wait for latecomers but do understand that we will not be able to wait forever.

Thus for the late comers, you may have to make your way there on your own. Likewise, for those who can only go WSSH in the afternoon (i.e unable to meet us), do take note of the instructions on how to get there. Below are the links to the directions on how to get to WSSH.

***If you have serious problem understanding the instructions, then do be on time and meet us at Clementi MRT =) alternatively you can give us a call to ask for directions.
