master’s message As like the past year, this was yet another hectic year at Eusoff. Eusoffians worked hard, played hard and bonded as they worked towards common goals in the year-round events, beginning from Orientation, Rag and Flag, IHG, Dance Production, Chingay, the various inter-hall cultural events, as well as the various service projects by EVC and Expeditions. Everyone gave the best of themselves and lived up to the Eusoff tradition of excellence and harmony. This year Eusoffians also contributed towards two new developments in hall: a hall module which complements the Eusoff Expedition, and a series of Eusoff Conversations. The hall module gave an opportunity for reflection on what service learning means, and facilitated the students to become more aware of wider historical, social and environmental factors that had shaped Cambodia as a country as they prepared for their destination. The Eusoff Conversations was a cosy dinner discussion series that students signed up for, held at the Blue Oyster, where they could enjoy conversing over a range of interesting issues. The year round activities would not have been possible without the dedication and hard work of JCRC leaders, the various committees (heads and members), block and level heads, and all individuals who stepped up to their various responsibilities. As Master, I would like to convey my gratitude to all Eusoffians who have, in one way or another, big or small, lent a hand in making the hall a vibrant and happy home to all of us. As we bid farewell to our graduating seniors, I would like to take the opportunity to wish them success in their careers. I hope that they will keep in touch and continue to make contriutions to the hall in any capacity that they can. I also encourage all graduating seniors to sign up for membership with the Eusoff Alumni Association. A/Prof Goh Beng Lan Master, Eusoff Hall

Nonetheless, I do not think I would have done things any differently had I been offered a chance to hop into a time machine; this has been a strangely tumultuous year, which is to say, it has been a year at once both similar, and different from all the other years that have gone before. The previous sentence should make it amply apparent to you that I, like any politician worth his salt, have learnt the art of saying very little with a lot.

activities and experiences that I have never tried before. Joining sports teams, volunteering in community events, organizing events and taking up leadership positions. These are the things that I have never thought to try in the University before I joined Eusoff Hall. It was a last minute decision to be part of the JCRC team, partly because I had been shunning all the leadership opportunities that has been offered to me. The decision was made as I wanted to work along with like-minded people, people who are enthusiastic to hall and has contributed to Eusoff in their own ways to make Eusoff Hall a better place. Being the Finance Director was full of challenges, to put it bluntly, it was one hell of roller coaster ride. I will not deny that I have learned much from this experience as it allowed me to understand the finance procedures that has been put in place, which are relevant to the working world, it is definitely not something they will teach you in school. Besides the technical side of the Finance Director’s jobscope, I have also learned a lot about myself and my working style.

Media Director
Wang Gejing 27th JCRC
As an international student, Eusoff Hall, to me, is far more than merely a place to live. This is a place I called “home”. My whole undergraduate life is inseparably interconnected with this place. It is a home far away from home. It is a place for us to success, to fail, to experience. It is a place for us to laugh, to cry, to enjoy. It is a place for us to excel, to love, to harmonize. It is so hard to imagine how my university life would be without Eusoff Hall. It is a great honour to be elected to serve my fellow Eusoffians for the past academic year. I could still recall the first day when I stepped into Eusoff Hall, JCRC seemed to be a group of extraordinary and reachless people. I have never thought about I would step up to take the leadership position after two year’s stay in Eusoff. I can never overstate how much Eusoff Hall has changed me in various ways and shaped me into another person during my stay in hall, and will continue influencing me in my future life and career. It enables many of us to exceed our limit, to change our mind set, to mingle with others and to break through boundaries. After receiving so much from Eusoff, I knew that it was time for me to give back. My two year’s serve in EusoffWorks’s main committee has prepared me with the necessary technical skills and soft skills. It was time for me to make use of the knowledge and experience I obtained, and to pass them on. It was time to step up, and to do as much as I could do. I would never forget my vision: to promote mutual understanding in hall and to enhance the presence of media support committees. This is a vision that can hardly be achieved in just one year’s time, and we still have a quite long way to go. I might only be able to influence this limited batches of friends and juniors around me. Nevertheless, the seeds have been planted. Eusoffians will never stop our pursuit of excellence and harmony. How time flies. In this one-year journey, there were ups and downs. Nonetheless, when I look back, I do not regret joining. It is a learning journey and I did learn a lot. I became more broadminded to accept different perspectives. Moreover, I was able to learn from the others. While I was trying to apply my knowledge and experience, I was also able to understand more about other people’s way of dealing with things. It also enabled me to look at things from other points of views. Those are going to be valuable treasures for the rest of my life. As I always consider my role of Media Director as a facilitator, I would like my fellow committee heads to take their own initiatives, and I am only the one to facilitate them. Together, we made things happen. 62
This year, an important decision was made to digitize our Hall Yearbook. This is one more step to adapt to the expanding age of online media and digital content. Another change is the proposal of Junior IT Officer to regularize the management of Eusoff Hall IT infrastructure. Although the implementation of the proposal is still in progress, I hope that this new role would help to better serve my fellow Eusoffians in the future. The smooth running of all these events in the past academic year would not have been possible without the supports from the talents of AudioWorks, EusoffWorks and Publications. On this note, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the hard work done by each and every member of the aforementioned committees. I would also like to express my special thanks to my portfolio committee heads. I am nobody without your understanding and support. Yao Xing, thank you for your dedication and hard work. Your patience and efficiency are always the best support. Thank you for being available 24/7 and ready to fulfill any last-minute requests. Also, thank you so much for taking the initiative and stepping up for the Media Director role next year. I can never think about a better candidate. I have full faith in you to bring our media support committees to a greater high. All the best wishes to your work next year. Siyi and Shenghao, thank you for raising the bar for EusoffWorks. Thank you for all your innovative ideas and initiatives. Despite all the initial doubts and concerns about this co-head system, you have proven that your skill sets indeed complemented each other and you are able to bring EW up to higher standard. Thanks Siyi for being my best friend and always giving me supports. Thanks Shenghao for assuming this responsibility as EW head. I passed EW to two of you with my trust, and you cared for EW with your hearts. Huizhong, thank you for looking after Publications for two years. Your experience and capability provided me full confidence in Publications. Thank you for your support to digitize the Yearbook. I believe this is going to be the start of a new chapter. Let us see how far the story can go. Also, thanks to Nam for taking care of Publications when Huizhong was not around in Semester 1 due to her SEP. Your patience and hard work was the key to the smooth running of Publications. Special thanks to my fellow 27th JCRC members. We are so different in terms of personalities, nationalities, working styles and many other aspects, but we hold the same value to bring Eusoff to the fore. To many people, our diversity might be “weird” to some extent. However, it is this “weirdness” enabled us to think out of the box and produce unexpected results. I am so glad that I got to work with such a group of awesome leaders. Thank you for all your inspirations, understanding and supports. It is my greatest luck to have known you all. It was indeed a fulfilling journey and I have learnt so much with humility. Thank you Eusoff, and Eusoff to the fore! 63
Student Affairs Director
Yang Sheng
The year 2014/2015 has seen many convivial activities organized by our very own Eusoff 27th JCRC
Hall committees. Alongside sports and cultural groups, it’s the people that drives these activities who have made our Hall Life more enriching. Organizing ad-hoc activities such as Night Cycling, Eusoff Fiesta, Mooncake Festival, or perennial activities like monthly Special Suppers and conducting random online surveys, I hope the year has seen much improvement in the channels of communication between the resident body and the JCRC. Although they say “opposites attract”, there is greater truth to be found in friends sharing similar interests and ways. Just think of the labels “E4 Seniors” or “B Block Malaysians”, and the alternating sessions between mahjong and book-cramming in our awesome multipurpose lounge. I express my sincerest gratitude to my Block Heads who have rendered me with great support. “Student Affairs” is a broad and daunting area of work. Feedback regarding areas of improvement has been pouring in incessantly and indiscriminately since Day One. Results are slow but certainly underway, thus I wish to extend a my gratitude to all Eusoffians for spurring me on to ensure a fruitful and glitch-free year for enhancing our “Student Affairs”, together my committee members. The range of service granted to Eusoffians by these amazing people has gone a long way to ensure the welfare and satisfaction of the residents. I too hope the future committees can reflect and build upon this mantle of service above self. In excellence and harmony, as one family, Eusoff is the way. 64

Haw Sue Yi Taking up the position of A Cappella chair was a challenge initially, as many talented seniors had graduated the previous year and we were suddenly faced with a shortage of Cheam Xiao En members.Â
Secretary & Treasurer: Lim

However, the new members more than made up for it with their never-ending passion and hard work that they put into their practising and singing.
Performing Arts
The highlight of the first semester was Cultural Night, where we performed Disney songs in front of Eusoffians during dinner time. It was an important performance - the first exposure for many of the new members. In semester two, we sang for Amplitude as well as NUS Open Day, which provided a good closure for the 14/15 academic year. Personally, I am extremely proud of how far this group has come, and it has been a pleasure watching us progress and improve with every performance. I would like to extend a special thank you to the graduating seniors: Afiqah, Kai Min, and Jie Shen. Their patience and guidance have helped us tremendously, and they will be sorely missed. I look forward to A Cappella breaking down new barriers and achieving new heights in the future. Keep the fire burning and sing on!

Chua Chin Siang Eusoff Choir has always been a place which provides Eusoffians a platform to sing their hearts out. Many members may not have the necessary vocal skills and music background Gan Hui Shi when they first joined, but with guidance from seniors and multiple performances, we Lim Ka Woon mature as a choir. Siaw Kai Min This academic year, we performed in the yearly combined halls concert, ‘Amplitude’, giving a lively presentation of the Hindi song ‘Jai Ho’, and the soothing classic, ‘Somewhere Over Shan Mengdi the Rainbow’, in line with the theme ‘Films’. Our bright Indian costumes started the show He Buwei with a splash of colours!

Sectional Leaders:
Lim Shu Ning Having performed for MDIS the past few years, Eusoff Choir was again invited this year, but decided to focus instead on the intra-hall Culture Night, which afforded us more Lim Min Cheryl freedom and creativity in our performance. We sang two numbers from Disney’s ‘Frozen’ Liang Chao in the dining hall, to the delight of many Eusoffians.
Yan Xiangqi Our love for singing continues outside of the semester, especially during Christmas season! Unlike previous years where we caroled at Mandarin Oriental Hotel, last December we Secretary & Treasurer: Chu Yuan caroled at the Grand Park City Hotel in City Hall on Christmas Eve and Day. Logistics:
Continuing the initiative from the last academic year, we also spread the Christmas joy to oncology and geriatric wards in NUH as part of our community service. Music should be enjoyed by everyone! We are blessed to be able to bring some warmth to the less fortunate with our voices. Eusoff Choir is made up of a fun-loving group of people from different nationalities and music backgrounds. We share the latest pop hits, have karaoke sessions and suppers together. “Where words fail, music speaks.” Music has brought us together despite our differences, and through our singing, Eusoff Choir hopes to share our love for music and connect with our audience at the emotional level. May Eusoff choir continue to bring out the best in us and bond us closer!
