A lot of things seem to be happening in NATO lately. First of all, Kien Giap, Fish and Yixuan were successful in their interview to become PASS leaders. Aside from holding classes, they have had to attend additional lectures as well. But being strong-willed characters, we're sure that all three of them will persevere.

Next, our one and only telephoong has managed to get a side job (gasp)! Apparently, the rise in fuel prices has taken a toll, and Fei Fei has found that the extra income helps... Do give her all the support she needs. Lets all go to H2O more often! By the way, Kelvin is also saving up some pocket money (we wonder what's the purpose hehe). If you happen to be at Sunway Pyramid, remember to drop by at Popular Bookstore...

As for Bak, he seems to be quite busy with mysterious appointments lately. Strongly opposing additional F&I lectures on Fridays, it is becoming a guessing game as to who exactly are his 'personal time slots' reserved for. Hehehe...

Also, after months of searching, Yoon has finally found a home in ss15! Just a few doors away from Aaron and Kien Giap, the NATO community in Subang seems to be growing. We certainly have a larger crowd now during dinner time at Old Place... SK is also on the look out for a new place to stay, but so far he hasn't quite found the right place as yet.

But best of all, Yoon can now join in with the guys more often! Be it FIFA sessions or badminton, we now have an additional 'kaki' (member) we can turn to... Just like today! Badminton at Subang Racquet was a blast! Me (Aaron), Bak, SK and Yoon had fun 'testing' out 5 of the 6 courts, and it was all for free! Maybe we should start paying and booking in advance to avoid those nasty stares from some of their paying customers...

However, not all has been plain sailing. Fish has been struck down by a mysterious stomach ailment, and the few of us in Subang, Aaron, Fei Fei and Yixuan had to assist her to the clinic for a check-up. Special thanks to William too for giving us a ride there. We all wish Fish a speedy recovery back to her bubbly self soon.

To all other NATOrians, please remember to put your health first. The last thing we need would be to fall sick just when the semester is fast getting hectic. So do remember to drink lots of liquids to counter the unforgiving weather.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going!
