"One day, as he and Rachou were going to lunch at Boivin's, they met a girl whose simple dress was that of a worker, but whose copper hair caused Lautrec to stop and entusiastically cry out:

"She's swell! She looks like a proper bitch! Wouldn't it be marvellous if we could have her as a model! You should ask her."

"Her name was Carmen Gaudin and she was a sweet, slightly sickly worker. Lautrec who had pictured her as a formidable bitch was very surprised when he heard that her lover gave her some sound beatings. She was punctual and remained his favourite model for a long time."

-- François Gauzi

Hi all, your j2 studio mistress here to post guidelines regarding maintenance of the STUDIOS, namely the Resource Centre, Media Room (j2's classroom-cum-cubicle) and the Drawing Room (j1's classroom and pantry).

General Guidelines:

1. All the colourful rags in the drawing room (near the windows) seem to be for painting purposes, so it'll be good for you people to bring clean rags next time, strictly for use in the pantry.

2. Return all resources (art history files, books and stationery) to their original places after use. [esp. in Resource Room]

3. Clear up all foodstuff, that means washing up and returning them back to the pantry in the appropriate places.

4. Please do try NOT to kick the walls near the computer tables in the resource room (footprint markings are increasingly visible).

5. Do not leave any of your belongings (sketches, printouts, assignments, even valuables) lying around in any of the rooms, please keep them away lest they get misplaced. You'll be doing a nice favour for the people on duty roster =)

6. (Only) at the end of the day, please switch off all lights, fans, air-conditioners and the PCs.

7. i have liased with my fellow j1 studio manager Jianliang to draw up a duty roster, in which you guys will pair up to clean up (i.e. sweeping, washing, arranging of tables/chairs) after your lessons. For j2s, please follow the arrangement done up earlier on for food-contribution.

8. For the pantry cabinets (just above the sink near the fridge), please take care to allocate the various foodstuufs in to the approprite places. Currently, the section on the left is for food in general, the right for eating utensils i.e. alum foil, cutlery, straws, ketchup and other toppings/flavourings (whatever you call them). Please ensure the place is kept organised.

j1s
1. Just a reminder, the sink near the fridge is strictly for food, washing eating utensils, while the other near the windows for washing of painting materials, so please do not place paintbrushes/paint/etc near the other pantry sink.

2. Remember to wash all painting materials immediately after use- don't leave the paint (esp. acrylic) to dry up on them. If you still need to use them for other occasions, do store your painting materials apprpriately, i.e. in Ziploc bags (will try to provide).

j2s
1. Try to keep the classroom area clean and free from litter during and after lessons- clear up unwanted food wrappers, biscuit crumps etc. Occasionally, get acquainted with chores like sweeping.

2. Make full use of your cubicle space (as constantly reiterated). That includes ensuring the cleanliness of your personal space. For those sharing cubicles, do remember to practise consideration to your friendly neighbour.

woohoo. that should be about all. hope all can cooperate to make our AEP environment a better place to live in =))

Any concerns/objections, please feel free to comment.

Thank you!

Fussing around,
Your Studio Mistress,

Dear C1 AEP students,

As instructed by the Supreme AEP Class Rep Zhu Chuan, I am posting this message to allow a democratic vote for what you want to eat (i.e. what you want the welfare reps to buy). Although, this is meant to be democratic, we still need to have some rules:

Firstly, the welfare reps have decided to patronize NTUC. This means that NTUC is our one and only supplier of food.

Secondly, the food we eat must be healthy (trans-fat free), and economical (no Kroc Cookies).

Thirdly, the "voting" has to be done on this blog because I do not have the authority to set up one in IVLE. Please respond using comments. In your comment, state your Name, and select your preferred food item from the list below. Each individual may only vote once and select one food item.

Food Item List:
The food item list is too long to be posted here. You may access the list at this link or this link or this link or anywhere else on the NTUC product list.

Please vote seriously, think about what you really want to eat. Voting period will be from 6 - 12 February. Also, please adhere to the 3 rules stated above. Any vote that violates the rules will be considered void.

Thank you

Your humble eat (it) rep.
Leon Sooi
