Web 2.0 @ NUS

Dear Chan Timothy,

We would like to invite you and your students to join us at the inaugural Open Source Day jointly organized by Sun Microsystems and NUS School of Computing. This event will be extremely beneficial for your students as they will get the latest updates on Open technologies and business models that are driving the Web 2.0 era from Sun experts and leading industry speakers.

The event will be held on the NUS campus on 28 March. To help facilitate transport arrangements, we would like to offer to your school a complimentary bus transfer from your campus to the event venue for a total of 40 students and above registered with us.

Please feel free to contact uniday-ext@sun.com for bulk registrations for your school and for transport arrangements.

Students can also register individually at http://sg.sun.com/events/opensource

For more information on the event, please refer to the e-invite below.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to seeing you at the very first Open Source Day!

Warmest regards,
Liang Seng Quee
Director, Strategic Initiative

That's part of an email extracted from our .ichat account. There's another event of Web 2.0 coming up (again). So people who are interested in Web 2.0, it will be beneficial for you guys to attend this event I suppose. Of course, I'm not going.

Application for use of Post Secondary Education Account (PSEA)

PSEA is administered by Ministry of Education and is opened for all eligible Singaporeans.

With effect from AY2008/2009, Edusave funds will be transferred to Post Secondary Education Account (PSEA). As such, all Edusave applications previously applied through the Polytechnic will no longer be valid.

Students who wish to use Post Secondary Education Account (PSEA) funds will have to submit the form : Standing Order For Use Of Post Secondary Education Account.

¿ The Standing Order is applicable only if the student has a Post Secondary Education Account (PSEA)
¿ Student can use their own or their sibling¿s PSEA to pay for tuition fee and other fees.
¿ The parent has to authorise the application if the student and/or sibling is below 21 years old.


HOW TO APPLY ?
The PSEA Standing Order Application Form and details on PSEA are available at MOE¿s website : http://www.moe.gov.sg/finance/PSEA/

APPLICATION PERIOD
Students must complete the PSEA Standing Order form and submit it to Finance Department, Singapore Polytechnic, by 10th April 2008.

Quoted from an email which is sent to our .ichat inbox. I bet most of us do not check that email so better post it in our class blog. So in summary, there's no more edusave for us already. So people who wanna continue using such fund, please remember to apply for this stupid PSEA scheme before the closing date. For information go to the link stated above.
