The list of benefits is growing and most recently when you opened up your letter box, you would have received the voucher sponsored by Spectacle Hut together with your Statement of Accounts. This is only the beginning and we look forward to bringing more offers and benefits to SPGG members!

First and foremost, the Chingay Parade tickets are available for booking already. As SPGG is the corporate partner of People's Association (PA), special ticket prices are made available to SPGG members! Refer to the front page for more details such as the dates and the discounted prices under the Media/News/Features section. Other than the ticketing discount, we are having My Bao Bao to conduct sewing classes early December 2008. For those who would like to reminisce the good old sewing days, or for the sense of accomplishment in making a bag...

But at the Guild, the month of October is a busy month for us, from courses such as the image grooming class, nature herb sanctuary visit, tennis doubles tournament to the networking night and the AGM right at the end of October. Our calendars sure are filled, but we ain't grumbling! For Life and Ordinary members who have received the notice of AGM, if you have the desire to help us make the guild a better place for fellow members, come forward to the Close Up... Sat, 11 Oct 2008 02:10:19 +0100 http://www.spgg.org.sg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=52&Itemid=5 It was an entertaining and informative weekend for many Singaporeans due to the inaugural F1 Grand Prix night race weekend. A grand crowd of 100,000, both tourists and Singaporeans were at the spectator stands for this international event, not taking into account the crowds at various nearby locations who braced themselves for the insanely deafening sounds of car whizzes and the heated intense excitement of the night race. The inaugural night race was a drama filled one as the audience was treated to supreme driving skill of skilful overtaking stints, notably the one by Fernando Alonso who was rightfully the luckiest driver of this motor race, considering that he came right... Mon, 29 Sep 2008 03:22:30 +0100 http://www.spgg.org.sg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=48&Itemid=5 This blogger so needs a 2009 calendar, so that she can plan her holidays project a date for a little something in the Guild. So what ensued was a shout across her desk to our in-house FISSION editor whether she had a desktop calendar (she does not have one too). Come to think about it, book stores have not started selling 2009 calendars yet, or at least that’s what this blogger thinks. Has anyone of you started printing the 2009 desk calendars already? Do bring them along during the upcoming networking session on 17 October 2008, together with your name...

A direct result is the impact on us the mere mortals living on Planet Earth. Coming from this little sunny island at 1°18′N, 103°51′E near the equator, sneezes can be heard more frequent than ever as the island’s inhibiters are blasted with cooler temperatures that are surprisingly not that easy to get accustomed to after all. So before the sneezing gets worse, take plenty of water and your vitamins. Even those who are fine and dandy, do stock up on your vitamins and keep the sneeze bug at bay. Here’s a little... Sun, 07 Sep 2008 23:07:51 +0100 http://www.spgg.org.sg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=43&Itemid=5 The rainy weather these few weeks sure is reminiscent of the December rainy season. The weather that makes your shoes damp most of the time, finding yourself squeezing for shelter under buildings and bus stops while waiting for the bus to arrive and grumbling at the laundry that seems to take forever to dry. In tropical Singapore without the 4 seasons, this weather is starting to feel like autumn in the tropical sense. It sure was a drastic change as compared to a few weeks earlier on when the heat was simply overbearing. It is not healthy for the weather...

We know China clinched the highest number of gold medals and a grand total of 43 world records were set during the Beijing Olympics, so what’s more? We bring you 10 things you cannot forget when it comes to Beijing Olympics. 1) Michael Phelps 2) Usain Bolt 3) 080808 4)... Mon, 25 Aug 2008 07:27:48 +0100 http://www.spgg.org.sg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=39&Itemid=5 How cool is it to win an Olympic medal after a hiatus of 48 years for us Singaporeans? It’s uber cool, can? Even though we managed to finish only at second place, losing to the top seed is nonetheless still a glory to the little red dot in SEA. The global audience who do not know where Singapore is will probably start hitting “Singapore” on the Google search bar. (I kid you not, there are still a great deal of people on the other side of the world who have not heard of Singapore) According to the news last night, hundreds had... Sun, 17 Aug 2008 22:58:17 +0100 http://www.spgg.org.sg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=27&Itemid=5 This entry marks the very first trial session (no, I’m not talking about some slimming program) for SPGG to embark on this web-toy called a blog. Given the trend of blog publishing and the kiasuism of Singaporeans, SPGG certainly has not risen to the occasion of being kiasu. While we could have just inserted the blog somewhere on the old website much earlier, the final opinion is that justice must be done to the blog; it has to start on a brand new look! With this revamped website, SPGG looks forward to reassert its presence if it has not left an indelible mark on you already. Just like a sumptuous...

Fri, 27 Jun 2008 01:35:34 +0100 http://www.spgg.org.sg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=11&Itemid=5 New features on the website are on the way. We always try to improve the quality of the website everyday. We can discuss any topic under the sun in current forum, where we can also exchange the experience. That would be great if we can hear a lot from you guys... Fri, 27 Jun 2008 01:34:22 +0100
