TLDR: Meet the Cambodian uni students building TosTrip, an experiential travel platform for Cambodia. Discuss travels and life in Cambodia Some of you may remember Kounila, a grad student from Phnom Penh who used to attend some of our meetups some years back. Kounila is now back in Cambodia and she connected me with her mentees Mara, Keo, and Masi. They are university students at BELTEI University in Phnom Penh, working on TosTrip — a platform that connects travellers with local experiences. They're visiting Singapore and would love to connect with people here. Join us for a chat with them on 1\. Life in Phnom Penh and Cambodia 2\. Recommendations for sights beyond the tourist areas in Cambodia 3\. Their motivation for building a travel platform 4\. Any questions you have\.

This is a beacon of light or radio messsage for any men 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. Sometimes, all you need is a listening ear and you’ve been looking for someone who at least, understand what you are going through and emphatize with you. 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. — Tony Leo

Our 5th meetup will be to somewhere I've never been before Ziggy Zaggy, a little walk from Lavender and right by Kallang Riverside Park. It happens to be their 5th year anniversary so we get to join in the festivities with them! It looks like an acoustic set they have on that evening. We'll each pay for our own food and/or drink (let's support the venue by purchasing something), and get to enjoy some good music that evening. It is pretty free and easy so if you might need to arrive late or leave early that's fine too. To join just RSVP and I'll help make the table reservation for the group. As we've generally been waitlisted for past events, do change your RSVP at least one day before if you're not able to make it anymore so someone else can join. I'm keeping the max group size a little smaller at 10 (including me) so it's easier to make conversation too (especially for an introvert like me!) Diana

Let’s meet and wander the galleries! General admission on Sundays is free.

This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? 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: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans. We created Smart Search, the world’s largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping what’s possible. Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans. Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served. This is a follow up to the AWS re:Invent 2023 "Intelligent Document Processing with Gen AI for Public Sector" presentation.
