Adventure! SP Jain Jaguars

As soon as students reached the venue, one could feel the energy buzzing through the air. BBA students made their way to Home Team NS to learn Archery. The facilitators greeted everyone with passionate introductions and instructions, as students quickly got into lines of five to try their hand at shooting. They had big bows, and arrows with sponges for safety purposes. After a small practice round, everyone got accustomed to the game and found that it was actually pretty simple to shoot.

The BBA students were very excited to visit the eco-friendly and sustainable city called Masdar city. This was especially because they had learnt about it earlier in 'Corporate and Sustainable Social Responsibility' (SCSR) in semester Two in Singapore and were really fascinated by it. This industrial visit was aimed at sharpening the SCSR aspect of an organization amongst the students.

It was a bright sunny afternoon, when the students set out to experience what the desert has to offer. Each student just as excited as the other, they reached the desert, to find a line of SUVs waiting for them to get on board. By 5 pm, one by one the cars zoomed off into the desert with a group of seven students each. After a thrilling ride they reached the desert base camp, only to find the breathtaking view of the sun setting behind the magnificent stretch of the desert. Students took pictures with the falcon, rode the camel, got personalised souvenirs, and had henna tattoos done on their hands among other fun activities.

The road trip to Canberra is fairly long for a day trip, and if you are vegetarian the options are even more unpalatable at the roadside stops. We had a secret weapon though, we were carrying our own picnic lunch in the event that hunger would strike while we were far from home.
It was a prompt departure in the half-light, at 6.10am which enabled an 11.00am arrival at the NASA- Canberra Deep Space Communication Centre (CDSCC).

On the 6^th of May 2014, a couple of colleagues and I were given the opportunity to attend the 5^th ASEAN event series “Bridges – Dialogues Towards a Culture of Peace” in the home of the Ambassador of Sweden for Singapore. This event was a well-recognized event as it operated in different countries such as Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines, where it advocates the spreading of peace through addressing basic levels of needs such as education, healthcare, protection of the environment, reduction of violence and many more. As we entered the door of the beautiful home of the Ambassador of Sweden, we were greeted by high-profiled individuals such as the Prince of Liechtenstein and the previous president of Singapore, S. R. Nathan. It was truly a humbling experience as we strolled around the home of Ambassador Hakan Jevrell, because we met individuals who advocate peace, yet are CEOs of multinational companies. This encounter made me realize that I am minuscule compare to the individuals present in this event. However, the main highlight of the night was the brief encounter with former President S.R. Nathan. After conquering our shock and awe, we were finally able to approach the former President and asked to have a photograph with him. The former President was a gentle and humble man, a worthy President of the Republic of Singapore.
