**What if the most valuable thing you could do is stop and think?** Join experts, founders, and curious humans for 90 minutes of real conversation over dinner. No easy answers. Just better questions. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **We often assume that making something easier also makes it better.** ​In a future where digital clones can reconstruct the departed from fragments of memory, a family is offered the chance to bring back someone they lost. ​But as the clone begins to uncover forgotten parts of the original person’s past, an unsettling question emerges: do we want the full picture of a person, or only the curated version? And... can a person truly be reduced to memory? \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Importaant note: This is a ticketed dinner gathering.

This is a beacon of light or radio messsage for those who are hurting out there. This season can be confusing, painful, lonely, and sometimes outright horrible and you feel like no one understands you or wanting to help you. ISometimes, all you need is a listening ear. If you're going through a divorce—or have recently been through one—I just want you to know: you’re NOT alone. I am going through the same thing. This group was created for exactly that reason as I realised I was isolated and it was a very painful and lonely season. I believe there is strength in showing up, sharing honestly, and just having a conversation with someone who is going through the same journey—even if we’re all at different stages of the journey. This session will be informal. No pressure, no expectations. Just a chance to meet, talk, listen, and connect. Looking forward to meeting you. And again, you don’t have to go through this journey alone. — Tony Leo

**Let’s meet for dinner and simply talk about life.** **This meetup is about slowing down after a long day, enjoying a simple, good meal together, and having relaxed, meaningful conversations. We can share stories, experiences, thoughts about life, or just chat about anything that comes to mind.** **Everyone comes from a different journey, and sometimes it’s really nice to sit down with a few friendly people, listen, laugh, and connect.** **This is not a networking event — just a casual dinner with people who enjoy genuine conversations and meeting new friends.** **Come with a friendly spirit and let’s enjoy a simple evening together. Sometimes friendships begin over the most ordinary dinners. 🍲😊** ***Sales, MLM or people wanting to collect contact numbers for non-friendship purposes are not welcome.**

HI EVERYONE. The Wolf King has finally returned. And this time… he’s hungry again. After a long disappearance, steps back into the shadows — bringing with him the hunt, the chaos, and the mind games you’ve been missing. New players, veterans, bluffers, quiet killers… all are welcome. Just remember not everyone here is human. ## 🩸 LETTER FROM THE WOLF KING Listen well, fragile villagers. I have been away… but the hunt never stopped. The forest has grown silent, and my pack has thinned. But now, under the rising blood moon, we gather once more. Some of you will stand with me. Most of you will fall. You may think this is a game — but when night comes, you will learn the difference between hunter… and prey. Come. Sit at my table. Let me see if you survive the night. Sincerely, Wolf King Details: New Players, can come earlier! (from 1pm) Time: 1pm - 6pm (5 hours) Venue: Goodspeed Game Cafe @ Ang Mo Kio Block 710a #02-2625 , (5 mins walk from MRT station) Above 24 hour 思家客Scarlett Supermarket。 **Entry fees : $12/- with 1 can and free flow of snacks !**

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming how businesses operate, market and grow. AI is no longer just a trend — it is becoming an essential part of today’s business landscape. At the same time, China’s AI ecosystem is evolving rapidly. Platforms such as DeepSeek, Doubao and Kimi are already influencing how Chinese consumers search, travel, and make purchasing decisions before they arrive in Singapore. This creates new challenges and opportunities for SMEs and entrepreneurs looking to stay competitive and visible in the Chinese digital economy. This session brings together industry practitioners to share practical insights on AI adoption, emerging business opportunities, and how companies can position themselves effectively in Singapore’s and China’s evolving AI-driven environment.

This is an in-person meeting. Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance. Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues. So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them? That is what this meeting will be all about. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.** How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently? Then we will go into a topic discussion. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS** \*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\* 1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group. 2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another. 3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up. 4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space. 5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable. 6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.

She has exposed her legs in a biblical city, an act they deem forbidden, and their judgement will echo on through her adolescence. When our narrator finally admits to her mother that she is queer, her mother's response only intensifies a sense of shame: 'You exist too much,' she tells her daughter. Told in vignettes that flash between the U.S. and the Middle East--from New York to Jordan, Lebanon, and Palestine--Zaina Arafat's debut novel traces her protagonist's progress from blushing teen to sought-after DJ and aspiring writer.
