Hi everyone, thank you for dropping by at our booth on Club and Society Day. We appreciate your support. Good news is we've got over 20 students to sign-up on that day. Our first general meeting kicked off last Wednesday, 2nd June. The topic of the day was Antisocial, disorder. Kah Yan, our coordinator had came up with a creative way of communicating the disorders to our new and existing members. She introduced to us an episode of Criminal Minds about a psychopath person, who has multiple sex partners and is a con man. And like most psychopath, he is charming, violent, narcissistic and feel no guilt after murdering his lovers.

If you've missed this meeting, don't worry. We want you to look forward for the upcoming activity. On the 16th June 2010, come and join us for our second general meeting.
