Its time for command once again. Especially so for the batch of Command 2008. Miss the nights of late practices for that one successful evening performance?

Command 2009 will be held on the 7th April (Tuesday), please be present by 8pm latest!
If you are here earlier, do drop by the Alumni Room to wait in comfort. There will be drinks and air conditioning. Please follow the signs or do look for the former Enterprise Room(for those who still remember)

Sharing Series I Concluded

Last week we saw a few accomplished alumni making a trip down to KRH Sem rm 3 to share some job hunt tips & experiences to abt 15 lucky residents who hear 1st hand advices in this challenging job market.

As usual, these speakers charmed the audience with their witty & interesting anecdotes, gave valuable inputs to the lucky residents to edge themselves from their peers. Though these advices come small, they would be probably be useful in the times ahead. Judging from the positive response, the KRAC intends to pull in other speakers to cover the other spectrum of the job market. Of course, bearing in mind the current KR calender of events, KRAC would work closely with the hall leaders to get a best fit timing.

Finally, a big thank you to the distinguished speakers - Felicia, Vincent Gan, Kelvyn Choo, special thanks to the alumni who attended as well - Steph Ng, Hui Ting & Qingyou.

Looking forward to your continued support.

Here are some snapshots of the event. Enjoy!

Launch of NEW KR JACKET! *UPDATED

Dear KR Alumnus,

KRH has launch a new series of KR Jacket to replace our old (& boring) set. See below for the visual design of the KR jacket. It is a good quality jacket, not to mention stylo milo design as well.

In conjunction with the launch, KReach (KR Youth Expedition Team) is working together for a fund-raising initiative. So, in simple terms, every jacket you buy, a x% will go in for a good cause, to the YEP project that KR has been working with in Chiangmai, Thailand for the past 2 years (yes, I'm 1 of the pioneer batch & i can tell you funding is a major hurdle). So lend us your support, in spirits & in dollars.Here are a few things to note:

1) Cost = $25

2) Sizes available: XS (use Pearline's size as a gauge) to XXL (use Zee's size as a gauge).

Some people's size as a gauge - S (lishi), M (teck yong), L (guoyong), XL (sunny).

3) The Blue is a deeper blue than the one shown in the picture. It's not so bright.

4) Under the Kent Ridge Hall, there will be National University of Singapore, but of a smaller font.

5) There is a tucked-in hood. Like the Team NUS jacket.

6) EMBROIDERED NAME on the inside of the right collar (white thread). extra cost = $2. this is in discussion with the supplier. So for those who wish to embroider their names, do leave the name you wish to use when placing order. I will let you guys know again.

If you have any other questions do let me know. I will try my best to get the measurements of the jacket if you guys feel it's necessary [UPDATED]. Hope you guys can help me take orders from alumni. We will take orders on a rolling basis, so just submit whatever orders you guys receive by end of this week. We can do another collation at the end of next week :)

Actual sample jacket should arrive early next week. I can take photos of it when it arrives and send it to you guys too.

Lovely Conclusion

A stirring performance with a little witty twist to this year's KR very own hall production left many alumnus craving for more. Good effort to Andrea & team for bringing a great show to the residents again & showing the campus the prowess of KR culture talents. Wonderful script, amazing vocals & zesty outfits. A big thank you to S.steph for coordination of the tickets as well.

Of course, a big thank you to the Alumnus who were present, to show support for KR's original Hall Production 08/09. Stay tuned for more KRAC activities coming your way.

CNY Steamboat Concluded

'KR HUAT AR!'

With these words, close to 40 alumni & FYFs started their frenzy and illustrous lou hei tasks, some even attempted to toss as high as the covered walkway. It was a comical yet familiar sight where we were once gathered in the dining hall doing the same deed every CNY during our hall days.

It was great catching up with familiar faces, sharing of life updates and even more gossips. The dinner was made even more entertaining with the Hall Production folks delivering a couple of songs as a prelude to their grand show on 13 Feb 09 (Fri) @ UCC [see here]. All these were made possible with the help of the KR Alumni Secretariat Committee, together with the JCRC and Hall Admin, especially Supa'at who assisted with the logistics.

Click on photos below for larger view.

Do not be scared by the following video:

To those who were present, a big thank you for sharing the CNY joyous mood with us and hope to see you soon for other KRAC's events. Stay tuned for more upcoming events!
