How to Maximise the Benefits of Group Study

There are times when studying alone simply doesn’t cut it. This can be the case when you often find yourself unable to focus while you’re all on your own. Studying with a group can be a great way of keeping yourself accountable and ensuring that you are able to focus on the task at hand. However, just like other forms of study, group study has its pitfalls as well. For instance, some people often find that getting together with friends to prepare for an exam can end up turning into a fun social event instead of an intense review session.

People who live in Seremban 2 can proudly claim that they own an address that pays tribute to both nature and the built environment.

Encapsulated within scenic nature, yet replete with all the modern conveniences, Seremban 2 is certainly the crown jewel of Negeri Sembilan. Lush green spaces dominate the landscape, dotted with trees and carefully crafted infrastructures that complement leisure and pleasure.

Photography contest poised to reveal the lovely secrets of the township


All these beauties and more are already part of the common vista enjoyed by the residents of Seremban 2. Malaysians in general, however, are still unaware of the many insta-worthy backdrops that grace this place. With this in mind, IJM Land in collaboration with Nikon have come up with a sure-fire way to showcase the unique allure of this township, the S2 in My Eyes photography contest. 

L to R Alex Moh, Dato' Billy Lai from Futuromic Photo AV Sdn Bhd, Ong Jin Yew and Ng Oi Wei from IJM Land BerhadL to R Alex Moh, Dato' Billy Lai from Futuromic Photo AV Sdn Bhd, Ong Jin Yew and Ng Oi Wei from IJM Land Berhad

There’s 2 categories namely the Open Category (Aged 18 years and above) and the Student Category (Aged 18 years and below)

Prizes are as such:

Open category - Top three winners

“Seremban 2 is one the most promising township projects of IJM Land, as with all our previous developments which were equally milestones in our many achievements. Those who claim their address here enjoy unparalleled access to contemporary conveniences while basking in the wonders of nature, a rare combination that makes Seremban 2 truly unique. We believe the ideal way to display the beauty of this self-contained township is by allowing the people themselves to tell our story, best expressed through the photos taken by their camera lenses,” said Chai Kian Soon, Senior General Manager of IJM Land.

 

The time has come for your creativity to run wild in the wilderness of Seremban 2. Any subject that portrays or interprets the view of the daily happenings within the Seremban 2 is allowable for submission. This could range from lifestyle, work, recreation, people, nature, architectural studies, heritage, food and the environment.

And there will be plenty of subjects for the camera lens since Seremban 2 is a place rife with opportunity. Participants can head over to the 15-acre City Park, where kites are seen riding the afternoon wind. The Tai Chi practitioners there make for a formidable sight, not forgetting the usual family crowd who enjoy a quality moment together. 

Then the four-acre lake beckons at the centrepiece of the park, another place that will favour the opportunistic photographer. All these speak of the natural wonders that residents of Seremban 2 experience on a daily basis. If nature is not your thing, then your camera lens will find many subjects in the form of gastronomic delights that dot the place, from Chinese, Korean, and Japanese to western styles like Italian. 

 

Capture the pulse of life at AEON, Mydin Mall and more. Sports and activities at the S2 Club also provide ample shots for the avid photographer. These holistic living elements speak of the unparalleled town-making skill that IJM Land has long been identified with. 

“Nikon is proud to facilitate this wholesome competition, which celebrates the healthy interaction between humans and the environment around them. Not only are we bringing awareness about the beauty of Seremban 2. From a holistic point of view, we are sending a larger and meaningful message to Malaysians that our country is truly blessed with such natural wonders,” said Dato’ Billy Lai, Business Development Director of Futuromic Photo AV Sdn Bhd.

 

Get snapping, and get winning


You can expect to witness many participants since Seremban possesses some of the largest photography communities in Malaysia. Note that all photos must be taken within the confines of IJM Land Seremban 2 township. 

The S2 in My Eyes photography contest also celebrates 27 years of Seremban 2 by showcasing a mosaic of the best photos of the township. It is also an impetus to launch the IJM Land Seremban 2 Young Photography Club, besides being a purposeful and creative platform to engage the local residents.

5 Horrors of Dating You Can Avoid By Relying on Matchmaking Services

5 Horrors of Dating You Can Avoid By Relying on Matchmaking Services


The existence of dating apps should have made finding a partner a much easier task in the digital age, but it hasn’t been the case for many people. Sure, you may have an extensive directory of people in Singapore who are ready to mingle at the tip of your fingers, but it can be a lot of effort sifting through the pile and finding someone who matches your standards and willing to put in the time and effort to foster a connection. Even then, should you decide to meet up, there’s no assurance that the individual you’ll see will perfectly match the online persona they’ve crafted for themselves or that you’ll hit it off once you see each other in person.




If you’re after results, getting the services of a professional agency that specialises in matchmaking in Singapore will help you improve your chances of finding the right person—all while saving time, energy, and even money. Modern-day matchmakers specialise in pairing potential partners, and they have a lot of experience in bringing together people who complement each other. These professionals can vouch for the individuals they are pairing, thus saving their clients from some of the most common horrors that people experience when DIY-ing their dating strategies. In particular, matchmakers can help you avoid getting into the following predicaments: 

Dating Starts to Become a Numbers Game for You


The desire to find the right partner comes with a lot of internal and external pressures, and it can suck the joy out of dating. Instead of taking your sweet time in getting to know yourself better and evaluating potential life partners, you might find yourself engaging with so many people to maximise your chances of finding a decent option for a date. A matchmaker can take over the job of sifting through potential matches for you so that you only end up dating people who meet your preferences. From simply saying yes or no to dating profiles, you can level up your options to good, better, and best matches. 

Your Date Is Not the Person They Claimed to Be


Catfishing, which is the act of luring someone into a relationship through the use of a fake persona, is a very real issue in the dating world. It’s quite common for people to use filters in their photos to the point of misrepresenting themselves online, and there are even people who knowingly pretend to be what or who they’re not on dating apps. This is not an issue for matchmakers, as these professionals have to meet and deeply understand each of their clients to know exactly what they want from a potential life partner. You can be sure, then, that the people they introduce to you have been properly vetted and verified. 

Going on Dates Feels Like You’re Compromising Your Safety


Meeting with a stranger, no matter how long the two of you have been talking online, is always a safety risk. There are people who have become victims of violent crimes and crimes against property after being lured into meeting up by their online contacts. This is another issue that can be solved by the vetting processes that matchmakers use. They often run background checks on the people that take part in their matching services to ensure the safety and security of their clients are not compromised. 

You and Your Date Have Totally Different Goals and Standards


In addition to pairing you with someone that matches your preference, matchmakers can also help you refine exactly what it is that you are looking for. Then, they can match you with someone who shares the same goals and priorities in life. If you want to become a parent in the near future, for example, your matchmaker will take this into account and set you up on a date with someone who has the same vision and will play an active role in building the family that you dream of. If you want a reliable life partner as you pursue your career and passions, your future dates might consist of people who have their own pursuits and those who want to support the ambitions of a driven individual. You and your date don't have to skirt around the topic of what you want in life and from each other, which are questions that many people struggle with when entering the dating scene. 

Everyone Knows You’re Looking for a Romantic Relationship


If you want to keep your search for romance under wraps, then dating apps might not be for you. Once you’re on the digital Rolodex of people who are single and ready to mingle, anyone within your ‘target demographics’ can see your face and bio. This can be an issue if you want to keep other people’s noses out of your business. Your matchmaker can help you navigate your dating life in a more discrete manner by curating the selection of people to whom your profile will be shown. This, in turn, will help you keep your relationship concerns out of the eye of the public or overeager friends and relatives. 

Matchmaking services are not free, but considering all the hassles that they are saving you from, the fee is certainly well worth it. If you’re keen on avoiding dating horror stories and actually improving your matches and enjoying a good majority of your dates, consider this option for augmenting your dating life.
