It’s been a hectic term test week for most of us. It also means that the upcoming break is an excuse for us to have some fun together!
We’re going to conduct our Annual General Meeting, where we brief all new and renewing members on issues such as what the club does, who the people behind the club are, the major events for the year and how to join a sub-committee. Most of you may also have questions to ask, so this would be the best time to do so.
During this period, you’ll also be able to come and collect your membership cards or register for club membership as well! If you have any other friends interested in joining, do ask them to drop by and join us!
After our Annual General Meeting, we’ll be having an orientation for our members to get to know each other, play games and have fun.
There will be water games, so please bring an extra shirt. Girls are highly encouraged to wear dark-coloured shirts.

For the first time ever, we’ll be organising our very own gaming competition at BANZAI!! A Japanese Culture Bazaar. But that’s not all - we’ll be starting it off with a bang, with a competition being held on the newly-released PLAYSTATION 3.
We’ll be playing Resistance: Fall of Man, a first-person shooter and one of the most popular titles released on the PS3 to date. Taking place in an alternate post-World War II era, the game features humans driving out a mysterious alien invasion from Britain.
Thanks to Sony Computer Entertainment Hong Kong, you’ll also be able to win exclusive PS3 premiums and games.
Date: Thursday, 10 May 2007 and Friday, 11 May 2007
Time: 5pm to 8pm
Venue: LT 25 (Design school, 1st floor, near the lift)
Admission: Free
A match will be held once every 15 minutes and the winner of the random matchup will walk off with a prize.
From 3pm to 5pm, we’ll be having practice matches and free play for all those interested in checking out the capabilities of the PS3. For those who are unable to make it for our practice sessions and are unfamiliar with playing first-person shooters, rest assured we’ll still explain the game mechanics and controls once again before the match itself.
Great game, great console, and great prizes to be won - it’s something not to be missed. See you there!
The biggest TPJCG event every year, we’re going to have our main membership intake in our very own bazaar: BANZAI!!
