[Chalking in CAPT]

Chalking is a long-standing tradition that many CAPTains look forward to in the beginning of every semester. With fresh chalk in hand, CAPTains inscribe and sketch on the doors of their friends. Among the chalkings are fond nicknames, banter, messages of varying lengths, quirky illustrations - all things that remind the CAPTain of that person. What is / was your favourite chalking on your door?

To new CAPTains, we would like to extend a warm welcome to CAPT, and to returning CAPTains, welcome home!

One week has passed since the start of the new semester, we hope that everyone has settled in comfortably and find some of these corners familiar.

As we usher in a new academic year, we can't wait to see how you will define your own unique CAPT journey! Here are some slices of life captured throughout move-in week. Happy start of semester!

( a message from Dr Tan L Y )

Dear Captains (especially those living in the north and west of Singapore),

In previous years, we organized Blood Donations at U Town . We are not able to do it this semester but there is a call from the Singapore Red Cross.

https://www.redcross.sg/give-blood/where-to-donate-today.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMImLa-37iI6QIVi34rCh3CygAaEAAYASAAEgJoDPD_BwE

We invite Captains to consider going to a suitable eg nearby blood donation (mobile) centre near your home.

Important to Note:

1) Blood Donation is an essential exercise thus a donor is legally allowed to go

2) Keep the Social Distancing guidelines

3) Go alone

4) Wear your mask

5) Check and record your temperature before going

6) Go and then return home directly – not an excuse to do side trips

7) Be familiar about whether you can donate - https://www.redcross.sg/give-blood/can-i-donate-blood.html

8) To encourage other Captains – feel free to wear a CAPT T- shirt

9) We don’t want to be showy or boast about it – maybe take a photo (side profile) or drop me a line … so we can encourage other Captains to step forward

10) Please email me [email protected] if you have any queries

Take care

Stay well – stay engaged (though with social distancing)
