Sign-ups *are only confirmed after contacting us and joining the WA group! \**** It is about damn time we organize a Mount Rinjani hike, one of the most beautiful and famous hikes in South-East Asia. Mount Rinjani (3,726m) is often on everyone's to do list. It is the 2nd highest mountain in Indonesia, with a good combination of beauty and challenge. Situated in Lombok, the hike over 3 days lets you experience a whole array of terrains, experiences and most likely emotions! From the lush savannahs, to trudging up volcanic scree, to climbing down boulders and rocks, active craters, crater lake, waterfalls etc. Little words can fully describe a Mount Rinjani hike until you've experienced it. If there was 1 hike I dare say someone should do in South-East Asia, it would be Rinjani. There are fantastic views not just at the summit, where you can see Mount Agung (Bali) across but also along the hike. You'll see a large caledera, crater lake known as "Segara Anak", a small active crater, as well as hot springs! The only downside is the fact it is extremely commercial, so seeing many other hikers and tents will be part of your view too. For this trip, we are not looking to do the traditional route, which is Sembalun/Senaru, but to explore the exit route via Torean instead. Our Rinjani itineraries have been always 3D2N because the extra night of camping is just a few hours away from a comfortable bed and toilet. Rinjani is often a litmus test to your perseverance and mental strength. It is usually everyone's first experience with volcanic scree. Although not technically difficult, the volcanic scree slope to the summit can be extremely tiring and challenging, especially to first-timers. To maximize one's success, it is important to have a good level of fitness and mental strength. Experience in full day hikes, or overnight camping would help also. **Who is this for?** > > * Challenge of doing Mount Rinjani, enough said > > * Experience camping > > * Experience an overnight summit push > > * Experience volcanic scree > > * Multi-day hiking > > * Experience 3,000m mountains with beautiful views > > * Huge step-up from other Malaysia hikes or hikes like Batur **Can Beginners do it?** Depends on what kind of beginners, If you are adventurous and fit, I would say it is technically possible. However, would be good to have some hiking experience at least! You have to be open-minded and mentally strong to keep hiking a full day for 3 consecutive days. Some experience and good fitness is encouraged, if not have lots of mental fortitude. If interested, do RSVP or Whatsapp. A Whatsapp group will be set up to coordinate further details and for a more detailed brief and instructions **Trip Information** Trip Duration: 5D4N Trek Days: 3D2N Brief Itinerary: Day 1: SG -> Lombok Day 2: Rinjani Hike Day 1 Day 3: Hike to summit, and down to crater lake.

**👋 Hey dev friends!** WWDC 26 is *Coming Bright Up* ✨ — and that's not just Apple's tagline, it's a promise. From a next-gen Siri glow-up to iOS 27 and major Swift updates, this year's keynote is shaping up to be one for the books. Oh, and it's Tim Cook's last WWDC as CEO 👀 — no pressure or anything. If you want to unpack it all (or just want someone to explain what that glowing Dynamic Island actually does), we've got you 💥 🎉 Come hang out for a fun, no-pressure recap! We'll walk through the highlights, share our hottest takes, poke at the shiny new toys 🧪, and maybe attempt a live demo (you know the drill — pray for no crashes 🙏💻). **Action Required:** If you plan to attend in-person, be sure to **confirm your attendance** through the following link [https://luma.com/vfmlqe1i](https://luma.com/vfmlqe1i) by **Tuesday, June 22nd 10pm SGT**.

Open Shelter has teamed up again with Red White and Boom! Friday, July 3rd & we are looking for volunteers to run the event’s alcohol booths. Proceeds from sales go to the Open Shelter’s organization. There are two available shifts: 12-6p & 5-11p. There will be an ipad-like device to process transactions in addition to cash. Everything will be in bottles or cans, so transactions should be very easy. Must be 21+. There are multiple beverage stations along the Civic Center Bridge. The stations are covered and also have beverage trucks next to them, so volunteers can cool off in the trucks. As far as parking, it is suggested those who are coming from the east use the Columbus Commons Garage, and those from the west use the Belle Street Garage. Harry from the Open Shelter will be your contact.
