Hi all! Mark is here to update his blog again!
I would say that the recent assignments and lessons are rather manageable and not much of difficulty. However, I'm rather shaken when I see all the safety procedures in the lab and the chemicals that will corrode and that are poisonous. I don't want to be corroded or poisoned by chemicals!!!!! *Sighs*
I don't know how I ended up in Pharmaceutical Science. God save me!

Hi all! It's been two days of Poly life and things are going on fine. I have particular worries like what to print off the computer and when must we configure our laptops. There's no particular reason to be worried about all these, 'cos I've got more to worry; my studies.
I had my first German elective lesson yesterday and I would say it was pretty hard to get a hold on it at first. After practising many times, I would say it wasn't as difficult as I have thought it would have been.
Entschuldigung means 'excuse me' and
danke means 'thank you'. Last of all, I want to say
Gute Nacht to all of you, which means Good Night. I'm going to bed soon.
Auf Wiedersehen(Till we meet again) =)

Hi all! I'm here to update my blog again. I've visited my NYP portal to check on my timetable. Mondays are really super duper long days! 6 hours of lessons with 4hours of interval! Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays are better as the time interval are 1~2 hours and there are only 4hours of lessons. Fridays are 5hours of lessons.
What to do during the hours interval? Study together!!! Shall we gather at the library to revise together? Tag me so I know how many of you want to join us for study group. Let's all work together and strive for Uni, ok? =)

Hi all! I am recently attending the orientation for NYP School of Chemical and Life Sciences. In this orientation programme I did make a lot of new friends. I'm in fact surprise that I can make friends; I thought poly life means politics, and didn't even expect making any friends at all in the first place. I'm real glad that the people in my class are warm, and I have a few friends that are fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. I would say it is God's plan that He had planned me in my course.
Talking about orientation, the first day were games. We played games, from ice-breakers to Amazing Race to telematch.
The second day was also enjoyable. We got introduction to our elective modules, and I'm planning to take up German. I know it is hard, but I've got no choice. The Kiasu Singaporeans had waited up till 12mn last night to make basic chinese and malay their elective. Coming back to second day programme; there were also skit preparation and skit performance. Keefe put up an act as an effeminate student which brought the house down. We got 2nd in place for best skit, so it's considered that our skit was of good quality.
Then on Wednesday we went back to school for only 1hour to attend an IT lesson on e-library. Today we had team building session with our school's discipline master. He says he doesn't want us to think of him in the negative side but more of a positive side; the positive side is to discipline without punishing as in teaching us on how to work together as a class. I'm quite satisfied with his explanation of himself as a discipline master though, but I think he can be real fierce and firm when he wants to be.
That's all folks. My life is smooth sailing, and I hope yours is so too =).
