Beach Tennis in Singapore? Try it for yourself
Most people in Singapore havenโt tried beach tennis yet โ and honestly, thatโs part of the appeal.
Itโs fast-paced like tennis, social like volleyball, and played barefoot on sand. You donโt need prior experience, and the learning curve is surprisingly quick.
Beach tennis is big in Brazil, and itโs now starting to pick up in Singapore. Sessions are run by Pacific Beach Tennis Academy, which is Singapore's first dedicated beach tennis academy.
If youโre looking to:
โ try a new sport without pressure
โ meet people in a more relaxed setting
โ or just switch things up from your usual workouts
this might be worth checking out.
Sessions are beginner-friendly, and all equipment is provided.
If youโre keen or have any questions, feel free to message Luke at 8950 0295.
You can learn more about Pacific Beach Tennis Academy here as well:

Over Dinner - Clones & Memory with Yi Yuan
**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.**
โIn 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.
โBut as the clone begins to uncover forgotten parts of the original personโs 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?
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-

๐ฏโฏVOICEPRENEUR Meetup- Turn Your Knowledge into a Scalable Product
**You've used AI. But have you built with it?**
**Most of us started the same way โ ChatGPT, a few prompts, some generated content. It felt like magic. And it was useful.**
**But Gen AI responds. It doesn't act.**
**The next stage is already here.**
**We're moving from:**
**โฆ Generative AI โ create content, write faster, automate the basics**
**โฆ Conversational AI โ scale your expertise, your voice, talking to your people 24/7**
**โฆ Autonomous AI โ your voice experience doesn't just talk. It understands, decides, and executes.**
**This is what we're exploring at our next Voicepreneur Meetup.**
**Whether you're a coach, consultant, creator, or just someone who's been watching the AI wave and wondering where you fit โ this session is for you.**
**You'll walk away with:**
**A clear picture of where AI is today โ and where it's going**

**A real conversation about what your expertise could become**
**An invitation to build your own AI-powered voice experience โ for free**

Ensuring Software Quality in the world of AI Developers - Matt Eland

The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod.

Prompting Is Not Magic: How to Give AI Better Context
Most people use AI like a search box: they type one sentence, hope for the best, and get frustrated when the answer is generic, wrong, or useless.
But getting better results from tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other AI systems is not about memorizing magic prompts. It is about learning how to give the AI better context.
In this beginner-friendly session, weโll break down how to make AI dramatically more useful by improving the way you communicate with it. Youโll learn how to give clearer instructions, provide examples, set constraints, ask for better output formats, and use follow-up questions to turn a mediocre answer into a genuinely useful one.
Weโll cover practical techniques you can use immediately for work, learning, writing, coding, planning, research, and everyday problem solving. Weโll also touch on why these same ideas show up in more advanced AI systems, including RAG, agents, evaluations, and AI workflows.
No technical background required. Bring your curiosity, your questions, and maybe one real task you wish AI was better at helping you with.
**What youโll learn:**
* Why โbetter promptingโ is really about better context
* How to structure requests so AI gives more useful answers
* How to use examples, constraints, and output formats
* How to iterate when the first answer is not good enough
* How these skills connect to more advanced AI workflows
This meetup is for anyone who wants to move beyond basic ChatGPT usage and start getting more practical value out of AI.
LOGISTICS AND PARKING:
The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks!
The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
