Update: Due to overwhelming response we've hit the big 60 and to inform everyone that registration is closed. A big hearty Thank You to all who have registered. Those who have sent in their details will be hearing from us soon. Cheers.

Hi all,

for those sending in your registration through email please do state your full name as in your identity card, thanks for your cooperation.

hi all again,

i have members enquiring from me the location of Microsoft Singapore as they are not sure about the location, well here you are :

Microsoft Singapore Pte. Ltd.
1 Marina Boulevard
#22-01 One Marina Boulevard
Singapore 018989

For the detailed map please refer to our trusty Streetdirectory HERE...

Its within walking distance from one Fullerton and Change Alley, for those who are not sure still can arrange to make your way there in groups, find companions to go there...

what sort of gathering is this? "a gathering for all members" and is limited to 40/50 pax? a little weird right? do you mean to say that ppcsg has only 40 or 50 members? the heading should have some clarity.

It is opened to all members but provided you are the first 50 members to register.

thanks. i can read. what i meant was that it is not a gathering for all members.

For your info, this gathering is up to members to decide if they want to attend or not. MS Singapore is kind to let us use their meeting room after office hour and there is a limit as to how many members can enter the meeting room. We have to consider that we should also not create too much inconvenience to MS Singapore. Experience shows that there is always a lot of MIA on the actual day. Moreover, what's the point of having a big group and then all just go home at the end of the gathering?

please read a little more carefully:

Seats are limited (only 40) so RVSP as soon as possible.

i re-emphasize "ALL"...if 40 or 50 is all of ppcsg, then it is pathetic...

thanks for your precious information...if i have decided (as you have put it) to go and there are no more seats, then isn't it very "sincere" of ppcsg to offer such a "big" gathering opportunity.

btw, if you have any suggested "eca" after the gatherings, please voice out. but i'm afraid that you are not up for it.

That's why ask you to register. Still don't get it?

"ECA" after the gathering... go for dinner and chit chat. Still need to up or down ?

Thank you ter_03_80 and John Teoh for standing up PPCSG, appreciate you efforts to explain to member tvirus who don't quite comprehend what our boss cheewee is trying to put across. The gathering is meant for the family here to have a get together and exchange ideas n maybe make a few friends while getting face to face updates from our guest speakers who took precious time off from their hectic schedule to attend out little gathering, however if he chooses to post such comments then its up to him, one's word reflects greatly on his/her own personality and character, once again a sincere Thanks to ter_03_80 and John Teoh.

Hi tvirus,
Thanks for your enthusiasm. However, with any events, we need to set aside a number for the attendees. PPCSG has to date 31,374 registered members and it is impossible to have a gathering that caters to all. If you are nitpicking at the word, “all” that is used in my first post, I offer my sincere apologies. However, it probably wouldn’t take a rocket scientist to know that it’s possible to pull that off. We have since increased attendee numbers from 40 to 50 and now 60 due to the great response. Unfortunately, the venue that Microsoft offered is a 60-seater so we have to close registration.

Regards,
cheewee

hi tvirus, if u would take a bit of time to go to the chat zone, we do organize gathering for ppcsgers BUT unfortunately, the turn out does not even hit to more than 20. for those outings, we do not have limited seatings SO if you are keen, you can also join in. we will welcome you at any point of time and the next one would be on 13th july 2007. so if you are really very keen and sincere abt joining, the outings, u can make it for that one, if you should miss out the MS gathering.

please do understand than for this gathering, like wat ther others have said, there are only limited seats and we should be glad that MS is loaning us the venue, therefore, they cannot cause too much inconveniences to MS as well.

if you are interested, you could have Just signed up earlier

*peace out.

noted. will see how it can fit my schedule. i should be still in vietnam if i'm not wrong. anyhow, want to ask how often do you all meet up? who are the regulars?

Well, meet ups happen almost every month. the gathering is open to all and it could be anybody that organises it

As for the list of the people.. let's move over to the Chat zone section yeah : )

It is wednesday, please advise how do I know if my name is on the registered list?

Thanks, CAGIVA.

would like to take this opportunity to thank chee wee and all the mods for their efforts in putting up such a lovely evening together.

once again, thumbs up to them for always doing a good job!

Thank you cheewee and your team for organising the presentation. it was informative but short. would preferred less items and more time allocated to each item as it was the presenters from Microsoft had to rush through their topics. Had hoped for more in-depth coverage of WM6, the OS, as opposed to WM6 “mails/exchange”. Nevertheless, thank you very much.

Thanks cheewee and team members for taking your time and effort to organize the event. Hope we could have another opportunity in the future for another event.
Well Done!

Hi all,
