“Shall we have a class outing?” That was a BIG question for our class MB0805. At that time, we had just set up a class blog poll. East Coast Park, Sentosa and Pasir Ris Park were the options. The voting went to well and we had a tie between Sentosa and East Coast Park. There were more than 25 votes and the options of East Coast Park and Sentosa were simply too popular! Labels: goingplaces, hangout spots
After one of Mr Jay’s (our favourite lecturer) MicroA practical labs, we had a tie-breaking session. Clarabelle took the attendance list and actually organised the vote manually this time. One person was entitled to only one vote. In the end, Sentosa won! 10th June was to be the day.
The day came. Early birds Bei Si, Chi Ying, Clarabelle, Gerard, Jabez, Jacinta, Samson and Sharon met at Vivocity at 9am. They found a shady spot along the Siloso beach. Then some prepared picnic lunches while others had fun with a flying saucer a.k.a Frisbee.
By 11am, most of our classmates had arrived. We had fun on the beach, ice-cream at Ben & Jerry, cycling, sunbathing, swimming, volleyball and some silly games. We actually tried playing Frisbee in water. It was fun. After swimming, we played dog-and-bone hunt, where we actually buried a stick deep into the sand. Two teams of four will try to compete and dig for it. We stayed on and watched the sun set and left the beach around 7pm. Most of our classmates had gone home by then but we decided to stay on at Vivo and have our dinner.
Some of us actually got sunburns after this outing. Nevertheless, it was a day of endless joy for MB0805!

Okay, I was actually thinking if I should write the serious side or the fun side for the oversea study trip that the PS class attended. Knowing that other class might just cover the learning objectives and whatever serious stuff we had done in Hong Kong, I shall concentrate on the fun we had enjoyed in Hong Kong. But, note that I’m only portraying the fun side, not that there is no serious business involved. Sooooooo, get into the fun business now! Labels: goingplaces, hangout spots
Fun Point #1: Do not forget Hong Kong is probably made a shopping paradise.
Fun Point #2: Do not forget Hong Kong built a Disneyland to attract cai toh (meaning being capable to be ripped off) tourist.
Fun Point #3: Do not forget Hong Kong has cheap and good food without delicious melamine from China. And nothing is too expensive here.
… and maybe some dog cookies for snacks too, as seen below. There’s a great selection of dog foods there, for every dog, ha, yes, dogs. (probably my class people loves it too. Hahahaha)
Fun Point #4: Hong Kong probably had a height 1000 1000 1000 feet taller than Singapore. (Exaggerating, i.e.) So, here we are, at the Peak – one of the tourist attraction in Hong Kong. Pictures taken are obviously of no professional skills. Ha.
Final Point: It might just be quite challenging to try your luck and catch the last plane home back to Singapore, when Hong Kong was stucked with No.8 typhoon then.
- Okay people, that’s all I have for you, for now. Hope you all had a feast of your eyes with the pictures specially prepared! Till next time! Before I end off, I shall present to you all, the people who sent us off the Hong Kong and of course, our PS’s class of 07!

I guess, this is a pretty late entry about the MINDS carnival held on the 10th Oct. Half of our class, MB 0801 had the opportunity to be in charge of the game stalls. We had so much fun making the games, decorating the stalls and of course not forgetting seeing the happy faces of the clients after they had played our games. Some of the clients were very shy, they were so shy to approach our game stall but we managed to get them to play our games. When you successfully make them happy, you get this feeling of pure satisfaction that you wouldn't want to part with them at the end of the day and you want to make them laugh smile more. Labels: goingplaces, hangout spots
The performances put up by the various groups were awesome. I could see on the clients’ face that they enjoyed the performances very much. Some of them even went up the stage to perform. They were so energetic and lively.
There were so much fun and laughter in the sports hall.
Overall, our class had a great day at the carnival.

June Babies. Labels: goingplaces, hangout spots
My class PS0802 had conducted a celebration for three of our beloved classmates. Khalid, Nadiah and Evelynn. It was held at Swensen. Firstly, we had our lunch. Pizzas were the main course for us. Unfortunately, one pizza is insufficient for 2 people. Haha. But anyway, using the class voucher that we had won during the freshmen orientation, we bought 2 large ice cream cakes. One the original flavour while the other was oreo crush. It was yum yum. Khalid had an unexpected gift from Zhareena. His punk hair was destroyed when Zhareena pour a glass of water over him. It was a blast, as we had accomplish our mission : sabo-ing Khalid. We sang the bday song so loud that a neighbouring couple starts to giggle. Here’s a few photos of our class.

Posted up by : Desiree Lau (071224N)(MB0704) Labels: goingplaces, hangout spotsBefore the last day of school reopens, which was on the Friday, the school of SCL held a MINDS Carnival. This carnival involves students from Year 1, Year 2, mentors, lecturers and of course students from MINDS. We have to report to school early in the morning to have our briefing for this event. This is a compulsory event for those people involved. Each student was paired up with one student from MINDS and this would be their buddy for the day. The people involved in the event were allocated by different buses whereby we were given an envelope with the buses written on top of it. I was allocated Bus D. That means my buddy is from bus D. In the envelope, there are still a piece of paper which is something like a game list, after you have brought your buddy to those game stations, let the game masters or game-in-charge to sign the paper. Presents and prizes could also be worn at the stalls. The aim is to bring your buddy to as many stations as possible. There are still candy floss and popcorn coupons in the envelope.After the briefing, we went to North Canteen to wait then fetch our buddy. We were each given a tag with our buddy name on it. This is to help identify each other. We went to look for our buddy and finally I found her. Then I brought her to the hall for games and snacks. After an hour or so, there is a new event that came up, which is Karaoke session. My buddy saw her friends on the stage singing and she told me that she also wants to sing, so I brought her to queue up. Finally, it’s her turn! The stage MC was students from Year 3. They asked her what she wants to sing. She then told them that she want to sing Xiao Wei. So, she sang. Although at some point she does not really know how to sing, the MC helped her by singing with her too. After she came down from stage, she was happy. After a while, I brought her to lunch. Then we went back to hall again. We then sat in the hall to watch performances. Lastly, the moment has arrived. It’s dancing time! Anyone interested in dancing could go up to the stage to dance. Music was being played. I then asked my buddy if she wants go up, and then she say YA. So, up she went. I saw her dancing happily on stage. After quite long, the dancing session ended. She came down and went back to her seat. Her face was red. I ask her why she said she felt very warm. After all the activities had ended, we had to bring them to queue up and be seated in the hall according to their bus number. Their teacher in-charge then needs to take their attendance. After attendance was taken, they were brought to their respective buses in an orderly manner. The MINDS Carnival had finally ended. It was a meaningful day…

Labels: goingplaces, hangout spotsOn the last day of our exam for year 2 semester 1, which we sat for the Molecular Biology and Techniques, the whole class of MB0704 went out for a class outing. It was great that we had finally finished our last paper. Although after having sat for a tough paper, we were still energetic enough to have our class outing. Our class decided to have lunch together as our class outing as this is more meaningful whereby we could chat, interact with our classmates and of course our mentor, Dr Phoon. We decided to have lunch at Pizza Hut. Dr Phoon suggested that we go to the Ang Mo Kio Pizzahut as it is nearer to our school. So, we made our way there by walking! It was quite fun as we walk there as a class and chatted happily along the way. The atmosphere was good. This was a good way for us to bond together. Finally, we reached our destination. We sat on a long table as there are around 23 people in our class. Our class decided to our set meals as they are cheaper and we could also share as a class. While waiting for food; drinks and soup were served, we chat and took pictures. We stayed there for about 1 to 2 hours then we left. Dr Phoon went back to school. Some of us decided to catch a movie, some went shopping and some went home. This class outing was meaningful, fun and memorable. Hope everyone enjoy!

15th ..... IN the morning our whole class met up for badminton lol , all agreed to meet at atrium 10 in the morning... but alot were late. =) Finally every1 gathered at 11, reached the sports hall at around 11 .20 Everyone look soo nice in their sports outfit. Most of them can play relatively well but certainly not up to the standard of school team. Three guys: jonathan(handsome guy) ,mave(MR nice ) and nic(EMO boy ) were sort of the better players in our class lol (smashes and lobbing) pro badminton skill which many of us cannot display lol. Many of us lost to 3 of them. After the badminton game had ended, the girls decided that they want to go for a swim, reached the pool around 1.20. Water was clear and smell of bleach was thick. Actually only 2 of the girls went for swimming.... they wore bikini and went into the *children's pool,* that is, the smaller pool on the side, and guess wat... 1 of them even dono how to swim. Overall the event was a success and many of us enjoyed it. We even plan to repeat the program for the next few weeks before we try something else.
Thank you

Labels: goingplaces, hangout spotsHey guys! I had a great and fun experience taking care of my "client" on 10 october 2008. It was a huge event where almost every single of the SCL students were involved in it. We were there early in the morning at 8.20am where the venue was held at sport hall and the moment i stepped into it, I saw many different attractive game stalls. We had a briefing before we went on to fetch our "client". Most people had one to one "client" but i had a "client" who was shared between me and Azmah. This was due to the fact that she had epilepsy condition and she need extra care and attention. First we brought her to the various game stalls and she had a enjoyable time playing the short games. We clapped our hands and encouraged her whenever she win or lose the game. She loved the gift that she won from all the stalls that she played! Then we filled our stomach at North canteen and after eating we watched the cartoon "Mr Bean". Back to the sport hall, there were performances and the giving of lucky draw gift.To end this event, songs were played where everyone were dancing happily. This event truly gave us the opportunity to interact with the "clients" where we have in mind that there are indeed many peoples out there who need love from the society.Contributed by :Julia Sim (072687G) (MB0704)

Labels: goingplaces, hangout spotsLast Friday, the SCL(LS) students were involved in the MINDS carnival which was held in our school’s sports hall. We had to gather there by 8.30am in the morning (it was so early!) for a briefing. We then received a name tag (to identify who we are and the emergency numbers) and an envelope which contained the “game coupons”, a movie ticket and a popcorn and candy floss coupon each for our MINDS client. When our clients arrived, they went over to the north canteen to gather and we were supposed to find our clients by their name tag. However, I was disappointed to find out that my client was absent ): Therefore I joined my friend, Yina and her client. Our client was very quiet, probably because she felt shy. When we spoke to her, she either shook or nodded her head only. We brought her to the different games stall and to the movie screening (Mr. Bean’s movie). We can feel that she really enjoyed herself at the carnival, and she seems especially happy when she won prizes at the game stalls and also while eating the popcorns and candy floss. After the lunch break, there were performances by the Japanese cultural dance and students who sang songs. Seeing the MINDS clients enjoying themselves as they danced to the music makes me feel happy too (: At about 2.30pm, the carnival ended and it was time to say goodbye to our clients. I felt sad as I really enjoyed the time with them. Some of the clients are very friendly as they would smile and wave goodbye to you and also seeing them enjoying themselves at the carnival really puts a smile on my face (:

What is a library café without books and magazines? Be spoilt for choice as this café has books ranging from non-fiction which mainly centres about travelling at foreign countries, to comics and storybooks! Unleash your passion for music! There is even a piano located near one entrance/exit of the café! Also, a “reading corner” shelf packed with recent newspapers also can be found somewhere near the piano. And here one can sit back, relax and enjoy a good blockbuster with a couple of friends! So what are you guys waiting for? Come on down to the Library Café with your friends and chill! It is located at the fourth level of the NYP’s Library. Labels: goingplaces, hangout spots
Presenting to you, the NYP’s ever-so-hot (metaphorically speaking, of course not literally as the café itself is air-conditioned) library café a.k.a Café Hotshot!
This library café is practically a sanctuary for us students bent on just chilling, catching up with friends, or even doing school work (since we can’t eat and study at the same at various other spots of the library)!
We could eat ridiculously-cheap hotdogs at just $1.20 or munch on delectable chocolate chip cookies or biscotti at just a dollar each! There are also a variety of diverse thirst-quenchers you can drink from carbonated drinks to frappuchinos(for those caffeine lovers out there!) to smoothies! And of course there are a great variety of snacks like potato chips to seaweed and many more! There are also sandwiches and lasagne and some pastry. Can you say spoilt-for-choice?
For those wanting to complete urgent assignments while waiting for your friends to finish eating or for some others who just want to surf the net, there are various computer terminals accompanied with sleek, high top chairs just beckoning you to utilize them!
Ever want to discuss some things about a project and also eat at the same time but got frustrated because eating is not allowed in the library premises? Fret not! There is a pretty large table enough for about perhaps 8 people and large, comfy, cushioned stools located at next to one side of the computer terminals!

We actually tried playing Frisbee in water. It was fun. After swimming, we played dog-and-bone hunt, where we actually buried a stick deep into the sand. Two teams of four will try to compete and dig for it. We stayed on and watched the sun set and left the beach around 7pm. Most of our classmates had gone home by then but we decided to stay on at Vivo and have our dinner.
Some of us actually got sunburns after this outing. Nevertheless, it was a day of endless joy for MB0805!

Hope everyone enjoy!Contributed by : Toh Shi Min (072165D) (MB0704)Posted up by : Desiree Lau (071224N) (MB0704)

Labels: goingplaces, hangout spots15th ..... IN the morning our whole class met up for badminton lol , all agreed to meet at atrium 10 in the morning... but alot were late. =) Finally every1 gathered at 11, reached the sports hall at around 11 .20 Everyone look soo nice in their sports outfit. Most of them can play relatively well but certainly not up to the standard of school team. Three guys: jonathan(handsome guy) ,mave(MR nice ) and nic(EMO boy ) were sort of the better players in our class lol (smashes and lobbing) pro badminton skill which many of us cannot display lol. Many of us lost to 3 of them. After the badminton game had ended, the girls decided that they want to go for a swim, reached the pool around 1.20. Water was clear and smell of bleach was thick. Actually only 2 of the girls went for swimming.... they wore bikini and went into the *children's pool,* that is, the smaller pool on the side, and guess wat... 1 of them even dono how to swim. Overall the event was a success and many of us enjoyed it. We even plan to repeat the program for the next few weeks before we try something else.
Thank you

Labels: goingplaces, hangout spotsHey guys! I had a great and fun experience taking care of my "client" on 10 october 2008. It was a huge event where almost every single of the SCL students were involved in it. We were there early in the morning at 8.20am where the venue was held at sport hall and the moment i stepped into it, I saw many different attractive game stalls. We had a briefing before we went on to fetch our "client". Most people had one to one "client" but i had a "client" who was shared between me and Azmah. This was due to the fact that she had epilepsy condition and she need extra care and attention. First we brought her to the various game stalls and she had a enjoyable time playing the short games. We clapped our hands and encouraged her whenever she win or lose the game. She loved the gift that she won from all the stalls that she played! Then we filled our stomach at North canteen and after eating we watched the cartoon "Mr Bean". Back to the sport hall, there were performances and the giving of lucky draw gift.To end this event, songs were played where everyone were dancing happily. This event truly gave us the opportunity to interact with the "clients" where we have in mind that there are indeed many peoples out there who need love from the society.Contributed by :Julia Sim (072687G) (MB0704)

Labels: goingplaces, hangout spotsLast Friday, the SCL(LS) students were involved in the MINDS carnival which was held in our school’s sports hall. We had to gather there by 8.30am in the morning (it was so early!) for a briefing. We then received a name tag (to identify who we are and the emergency numbers) and an envelope which contained the “game coupons”, a movie ticket and a popcorn and candy floss coupon each for our MINDS client. When our clients arrived, they went over to the north canteen to gather and we were supposed to find our clients by their name tag. However, I was disappointed to find out that my client was absent ): Therefore I joined my friend, Yina and her client. Our client was very quiet, probably because she felt shy. When we spoke to her, she either shook or nodded her head only. We brought her to the different games stall and to the movie screening (Mr. Bean’s movie). We can feel that she really enjoyed herself at the carnival, and she seems especially happy when she won prizes at the game stalls and also while eating the popcorns and candy floss. After the lunch break, there were performances by the Japanese cultural dance and students who sang songs. Seeing the MINDS clients enjoying themselves as they danced to the music makes me feel happy too (: At about 2.30pm, the carnival ended and it was time to say goodbye to our clients. I felt sad as I really enjoyed the time with them. Some of the clients are very friendly as they would smile and wave goodbye to you and also seeing them enjoying themselves at the carnival really puts a smile on my face (:

What is a library café without books and magazines? Be spoilt for choice as this café has books ranging from non-fiction which mainly centres about travelling at foreign countries, to comics and storybooks! Unleash your passion for music! There is even a piano located near one entrance/exit of the café! Also, a “reading corner” shelf packed with recent newspapers also can be found somewhere near the piano. And here one can sit back, relax and enjoy a good blockbuster with a couple of friends! So what are you guys waiting for? Come on down to the Library Café with your friends and chill! It is located at the fourth level of the NYP’s Library. Labels: goingplaces, hangout spots Presenting to you, the NYP’s ever-so-hot (metaphorically speaking, of course not literally as the café itself is air-conditioned) library café a.k.a Café Hotshot!
This library café is practically a sanctuary for us students bent on just chilling, catching up with friends, or even doing school work (since we can’t eat and study at the same at various other spots of the library)!
We could eat ridiculously-cheap hotdogs at just $1.20 or munch on delectable chocolate chip cookies or biscotti at just a dollar each! There are also a variety of diverse thirst-quenchers you can drink from carbonated drinks to frappuchinos(for those caffeine lovers out there!) to smoothies! And of course there are a great variety of snacks like potato chips to seaweed and many more! There are also sandwiches and lasagne and some pastry. Can you say spoilt-for-choice? For those wanting to complete urgent assignments while waiting for your friends to finish eating or for some others who just want to surf the net, there are various computer terminals accompanied with sleek, high top chairs just beckoning you to utilize them!Ever want to discuss some things about a project and also eat at the same time but got frustrated because eating is not allowed in the library premises? Fret not! There is a pretty large table enough for about perhaps 8 people and large, comfy, cushioned stools located at next to one side of the computer terminals!

Boys turn! see the one at the centre??? thats our class rep! lol! Lastly! june babies are biting on the same lemon piece! OMG! the pic look so ...! The end of the sharing session! Contributed by Pow Ze Liang(MB0803) Posted up by Desiree Lau (071224N) (MB0704) Labels: goingplaces, hangout spotsMB0803 had a class outing BBQ at pasir park during the mid of June.
Here are the photos to share: Gathering at BBQ waiting for full attendance[from left] Soon Huat , Yao xing and Yaqzan trying hard to setup the fire Hershey Chocolate syrup for BBQ! also expensive almost all food!Finally! charcoal is ready and we start BBQ! haha Chicken wing! Finally! got some fire is burning the charcoal! but still not hot enough to cook any food expect marshmallowclass photo! but is after water bomb fight! LOL!
“Shall we have a class outing?” That was a BIG question for our class MB0805. At that time, we had just set up a class blog poll. East Coast Park, Sentosa and Pasir Ris Park were the options. The voting went to well and we had a tie between Sentosa and East Coast Park. There were more than 25 votes and the options of East Coast Park and Sentosa were simply too popular! Labels: goingplaces, hangout spots
After one of Mr Jay’s (our favourite lecturer) MicroA practical labs, we had a tie-breaking session. Clarabelle took the attendance list and actually organised the vote manually this time. One person was entitled to only one vote. In the end, Sentosa won! 10th June was to be the day.
The day came. Early birds Bei Si, Chi Ying, Clarabelle, Gerard, Jabez, Jacinta, Samson and Sharon met at Vivocity at 9am. They found a shady spot along the Siloso beach. Then some prepared picnic lunches while others had fun with a flying saucer a.k.a Frisbee.
By 11am, most of our classmates had arrived. We had fun on the beach, ice-cream at Ben & Jerry, cycling, sunbathing, swimming, volleyball and some silly games. We actually tried playing Frisbee in water. It was fun. After swimming, we played dog-and-bone hunt, where we actually buried a stick deep into the sand. Two teams of four will try to compete and dig for it. We stayed on and watched the sun set and left the beach around 7pm. Most of our classmates had gone home by then but we decided to stay on at Vivo and have our dinner.
Some of us actually got sunburns after this outing. Nevertheless, it was a day of endless joy for MB0805!

Okay, I was actually thinking if I should write the serious side or the fun side for the oversea study trip that the PS class attended. Knowing that other class might just cover the learning objectives and whatever serious stuff we had done in Hong Kong, I shall concentrate on the fun we had enjoyed in Hong Kong. But, note that I’m only portraying the fun side, not that there is no serious business involved. Sooooooo, get into the fun business now! Labels: goingplaces, hangout spots
Fun Point #1: Do not forget Hong Kong is probably made a shopping paradise. Fun Point #2: Do not forget Hong Kong built a Disneyland to attract cai toh (meaning being capable to be ripped off) tourist.
Fun Point #3: Do not forget Hong Kong has cheap and good food without delicious melamine from China. And nothing is too expensive here.
… and maybe some dog cookies for snacks too, as seen below. There’s a great selection of dog foods there, for every dog, ha, yes, dogs. (probably my class people loves it too. Hahahaha)
Fun Point #4: Hong Kong probably had a height 1000 1000 1000 feet taller than Singapore. (Exaggerating, i.e.) So, here we are, at the Peak – one of the tourist attraction in Hong Kong. Pictures taken are obviously of no professional skills. Ha.
Final Point: It might just be quite challenging to try your luck and catch the last plane home back to Singapore, when Hong Kong was stucked with No.8 typhoon then.
- Okay people, that’s all I have for you, for now. Hope you all had a feast of your eyes with the pictures specially prepared! Till next time! Before I end off, I shall present to you all, the people who sent us off the Hong Kong and of course, our PS’s class of 07! (*Pictures are collated from some other people too, not just from myself)

I guess, this is a pretty late entry about the MINDS carnival held on the 10th Oct. Half of our class, MB 0801 had the opportunity to be in charge of the game stalls. We had so much fun making the games, decorating the stalls and of course not forgetting seeing the happy faces of the clients after they had played our games. Some of the clients were very shy, they were so shy to approach our game stall but we managed to get them to play our games. When you successfully make them happy, you get this feeling of pure satisfaction that you wouldn't want to part with them at the end of the day and you want to make them laugh smile more. Labels: goingplaces, hangout spots
The performances put up by the various groups were awesome. I could see on the clients’ face that they enjoyed the performances very much. Some of them even went up the stage to perform. They were so energetic and lively.
There were so much fun and laughter in the sports hall.
Overall, our class had a great day at the carnival.

June Babies. Labels: goingplaces, hangout spots
My class PS0802 had conducted a celebration for three of our beloved classmates. Khalid, Nadiah and Evelynn. It was held at Swensen. Firstly, we had our lunch. Pizzas were the main course for us. Unfortunately, one pizza is insufficient for 2 people. Haha. But anyway, using the class voucher that we had won during the freshmen orientation, we bought 2 large ice cream cakes. One the original flavour while the other was oreo crush. It was yum yum. Khalid had an unexpected gift from Zhareena. His punk hair was destroyed when Zhareena pour a glass of water over him. It was a blast, as we had accomplish our mission : sabo-ing Khalid. We sang the bday song so loud that a neighbouring couple starts to giggle. Here’s a few photos of our class.Birthday pplindulging the last few slices of ice creamWhole class...

Posted up by : Desiree Lau (071224N)(MB0704) Labels: goingplaces, hangout spotsBefore the last day of school reopens, which was on the Friday, the school of SCL held a MINDS Carnival. This carnival involves students from Year 1, Year 2, mentors, lecturers and of course students from MINDS. We have to report to school early in the morning to have our briefing for this event. This is a compulsory event for those people involved. Each student was paired up with one student from MINDS and this would be their buddy for the day. The people involved in the event were allocated by different buses whereby we were given an envelope with the buses written on top of it. I was allocated Bus D. That means my buddy is from bus D. In the envelope, there are still a piece of paper which is something like a game list, after you have brought your buddy to those game stations, let the game masters or game-in-charge to sign the paper. Presents and prizes could also be worn at the stalls. The aim is to bring your buddy to as many stations as possible. There are still candy floss and popcorn coupons in the envelope.After the briefing, we went to North Canteen to wait then fetch our buddy. We were each given a tag with our buddy name on it. This is to help identify each other. We went to look for our buddy and finally I found her. Then I brought her to the hall for games and snacks. After an hour or so, there is a new event that came up, which is Karaoke session. My buddy saw her friends on the stage singing and she told me that she also wants to sing, so I brought her to queue up. Finally, it’s her turn! The stage MC was students from Year 3. They asked her what she wants to sing. She then told them that she want to sing Xiao Wei. So, she sang. Although at some point she does not really know how to sing, the MC helped her by singing with her too. After she came down from stage, she was happy. After a while, I brought her to lunch. Then we went back to hall again. We then sat in the hall to watch performances. Lastly, the moment has arrived. It’s dancing time! Anyone interested in dancing could go up to the stage to dance. Music was being played. I then asked my buddy if she wants go up, and then she say YA. So, up she went. I saw her dancing happily on stage. After quite long, the dancing session ended. She came down and went back to her seat. Her face was red. I ask her why she said she felt very warm. After all the activities had ended, we had to bring them to queue up and be seated in the hall according to their bus number. Their teacher in-charge then needs to take their attendance. After attendance was taken, they were brought to their respective buses in an orderly manner. The MINDS Carnival had finally ended. It was a meaningful day…Contributed by : Toh Shi Min (072165D) (MB0704)
Labels: goingplaces, hangout spotsOn the last day of our exam for year 2 semester 1, which we sat for the Molecular Biology and Techniques, the whole class of MB0704 went out for a class outing. It was great that we had finally finished our last paper. Although after having sat for a tough paper, we were still energetic enough to have our class outing. Our class decided to have lunch together as our class outing as this is more meaningful whereby we could chat, interact with our classmates and of course our mentor, Dr Phoon. We decided to have lunch at Pizza Hut. Dr Phoon suggested that we go to the Ang Mo Kio Pizzahut as it is nearer to our school. So, we made our way there by walking! It was quite fun as we walk there as a class and chatted happily along the way. The atmosphere was good. This was a good way for us to bond together. Finally, we reached our destination. We sat on a long table as there are around 23 people in our class. Our class decided to our set meals as they are cheaper and we could also share as a class. While waiting for food; drinks and soup were served, we chat and took pictures. We stayed there for about 1 to 2 hours then we left. Dr Phoon went back to school. Some of us decided to catch a movie, some went shopping and some went home. This class outing was meaningful, fun and memorable. Hope everyone enjoy!Contributed by : Toh Shi Min (072165D) (MB0704)Posted up by : Desiree Lau (071224N) (MB0704)

Some of the clients were very shy, they were so shy to approach our game stall but we managed to get them to play our games. When you successfully make them happy, you get this feeling of pure satisfaction that you wouldn't want to part with them at the end of the day and you want to make them laugh smile more. Labels: goingplaces, hangout spots
The performances put up by the various groups were awesome. I could see on the clients’ face that they enjoyed the performances very much. Some of them even went up the stage to perform. They were so energetic and lively.
There were so much fun and laughter in the sports hall.
Overall, our class had a great day at the carnival.

Blindfolding.. oh, where are you??.. I wonder how she managed to stay so calm when blindfold? It could be the total trust in her friend.. Hahas, she can’t see.. What’s that funny about being carried that high? Maybe overcoming fear with laughers? Pose for the camera.. Discussion session .. Blar blar blar… Time to squeeze out the brain juice..

June Babies. Labels: goingplaces, hangout spots
My class PS0802 had conducted a celebration for three of our beloved classmates. Khalid, Nadiah and Evelynn. It was held at Swensen. Firstly, we had our lunch. Pizzas were the main course for us. Unfortunately, one pizza is insufficient for 2 people. Haha. But anyway, using the class voucher that we had won during the freshmen orientation, we bought 2 large ice cream cakes. One the original flavour while the other was oreo crush. It was yum yum. Khalid had an unexpected gift from Zhareena. His punk hair was destroyed when Zhareena pour a glass of water over him. It was a blast, as we had accomplish our mission : sabo-ing Khalid. We sang the bday song so loud that a neighbouring couple starts to giggle. Here’s a few photos of our class.Birthday pplindulging the last few slices of ice creamWhole class...

Posted up by : Desiree Lau (071224N)(MB0704) Labels: goingplaces, hangout spotsBefore the last day of school reopens, which was on the Friday, the school of SCL held a MINDS Carnival. This carnival involves students from Year 1, Year 2, mentors, lecturers and of course students from MINDS. We have to report to school early in the morning to have our briefing for this event. This is a compulsory event for those people involved. Each student was paired up with one student from MINDS and this would be their buddy for the day. The people involved in the event were allocated by different buses whereby we were given an envelope with the buses written on top of it. I was allocated Bus D. That means my buddy is from bus D. In the envelope, there are still a piece of paper which is something like a game list, after you have brought your buddy to those game stations, let the game masters or game-in-charge to sign the paper. Presents and prizes could also be worn at the stalls. The aim is to bring your buddy to as many stations as possible. There are still candy floss and popcorn coupons in the envelope.After the briefing, we went to North Canteen to wait then fetch our buddy. We were each given a tag with our buddy name on it. This is to help identify each other. We went to look for our buddy and finally I found her. Then I brought her to the hall for games and snacks. After an hour or so, there is a new event that came up, which is Karaoke session. My buddy saw her friends on the stage singing and she told me that she also wants to sing, so I brought her to queue up. Finally, it’s her turn! The stage MC was students from Year 3. They asked her what she wants to sing. She then told them that she want to sing Xiao Wei. So, she sang. Although at some point she does not really know how to sing, the MC helped her by singing with her too. After she came down from stage, she was happy. After a while, I brought her to lunch. Then we went back to hall again. We then sat in the hall to watch performances. Lastly, the moment has arrived. It’s dancing time! Anyone interested in dancing could go up to the stage to dance. Music was being played. I then asked my buddy if she wants go up, and then she say YA. So, up she went. I saw her dancing happily on stage. After quite long, the dancing session ended. She came down and went back to her seat. Her face was red. I ask her why she said she felt very warm. After all the activities had ended, we had to bring them to queue up and be seated in the hall according to their bus number. Their teacher in-charge then needs to take their attendance. After attendance was taken, they were brought to their respective buses in an orderly manner. The MINDS Carnival had finally ended. It was a meaningful day…Contributed by : Toh Shi Min (072165D) (MB0704)
Labels: goingplaces, hangout spotsOn the last day of our exam for year 2 semester 1, which we sat for the Molecular Biology and Techniques, the whole class of MB0704 went out for a class outing. It was great that we had finally finished our last paper. Although after having sat for a tough paper, we were still energetic enough to have our class outing. Our class decided to have lunch together as our class outing as this is more meaningful whereby we could chat, interact with our classmates and of course our mentor, Dr Phoon. We decided to have lunch at Pizza Hut. Dr Phoon suggested that we go to the Ang Mo Kio Pizzahut as it is nearer to our school. So, we made our way there by walking! It was quite fun as we walk there as a class and chatted happily along the way. The atmosphere was good. This was a good way for us to bond together. Finally, we reached our destination. We sat on a long table as there are around 23 people in our class. Our class decided to our set meals as they are cheaper and we could also share as a class. While waiting for food; drinks and soup were served, we chat and took pictures. We stayed there for about 1 to 2 hours then we left. Dr Phoon went back to school. Some of us decided to catch a movie, some went shopping and some went home. This class outing was meaningful, fun and memorable. Hope everyone enjoy!Contributed by : Toh Shi Min (072165D) (MB0704)Posted up by : Desiree Lau (071224N) (MB0704)

Labels: goingplaces, hangout spots15th ..... IN the morning our whole class met up for badminton lol , all agreed to meet at atrium 10 in the morning... but alot were late. =) Finally every1 gathered at 11, reached the sports hall at around 11 .20 Everyone look soo nice in their sports outfit. Most of them can play relatively well but certainly not up to the standard of school team. Three guys: jonathan(handsome guy) ,mave(MR nice ) and nic(EMO boy ) were sort of the better players in our class lol (smashes and lobbing) pro badminton skill which many of us cannot display lol. Many of us lost to 3 of them. After the badminton game had ended, the girls decided that they want to go for a swim, reached the pool around 1.20. Water was clear and smell of bleach was thick. Actually only 2 of the girls went for swimming.... they wore bikini and went into the *children's pool,* that is, the smaller pool on the side, and guess wat... 1 of them even dono how to swim. Overall the event was a success and many of us enjoyed it. We even plan to repeat the program for the next few weeks before we try something else.
Thank you

Labels: goingplaces, hangout spotsHey guys! I had a great and fun experience taking care of my "client" on 10 october 2008. It was a huge event where almost every single of the SCL students were involved in it. We were there early in the morning at 8.20am where the venue was held at sport hall and the moment i stepped into it, I saw many different attractive game stalls. We had a briefing before we went on to fetch our "client". Most people had one to one "client" but i had a "client" who was shared between me and Azmah. This was due to the fact that she had epilepsy condition and she need extra care and attention. First we brought her to the various game stalls and she had a enjoyable time playing the short games. We clapped our hands and encouraged her whenever she win or lose the game. She loved the gift that she won from all the stalls that she played! Then we filled our stomach at North canteen and after eating we watched the cartoon "Mr Bean". Back to the sport hall, there were performances and the giving of lucky draw gift.To end this event, songs were played where everyone were dancing happily. This event truly gave us the opportunity to interact with the "clients" where we have in mind that there are indeed many peoples out there who need love from the society.Contributed by :Julia Sim (072687G) (MB0704)

Labels: goingplaces, hangout spotsLast Friday, the SCL(LS) students were involved in the MINDS carnival which was held in our school’s sports hall. We had to gather there by 8.30am in the morning (it was so early!) for a briefing. We then received a name tag (to identify who we are and the emergency numbers) and an envelope which contained the “game coupons”, a movie ticket and a popcorn and candy floss coupon each for our MINDS client. When our clients arrived, they went over to the north canteen to gather and we were supposed to find our clients by their name tag. However, I was disappointed to find out that my client was absent ): Therefore I joined my friend, Yina and her client. Our client was very quiet, probably because she felt shy. When we spoke to her, she either shook or nodded her head only. We brought her to the different games stall and to the movie screening (Mr. Bean’s movie). We can feel that she really enjoyed herself at the carnival, and she seems especially happy when she won prizes at the game stalls and also while eating the popcorns and candy floss. After the lunch break, there were performances by the Japanese cultural dance and students who sang songs. Seeing the MINDS clients enjoying themselves as they danced to the music makes me feel happy too (: At about 2.30pm, the carnival ended and it was time to say goodbye to our clients. I felt sad as I really enjoyed the time with them. Some of the clients are very friendly as they would smile and wave goodbye to you and also seeing them enjoying themselves at the carnival really puts a smile on my face (:

What is a library café without books and magazines? Be spoilt for choice as this café has books ranging from non-fiction which mainly centres about travelling at foreign countries, to comics and storybooks! Unleash your passion for music! There is even a piano located near one entrance/exit of the café! Also, a “reading corner” shelf packed with recent newspapers also can be found somewhere near the piano. And here one can sit back, relax and enjoy a good blockbuster with a couple of friends! So what are you guys waiting for? Come on down to the Library Café with your friends and chill! It is located at the fourth level of the NYP’s Library. Labels: goingplaces, hangout spots Presenting to you, the NYP’s ever-so-hot (metaphorically speaking, of course not literally as the café itself is air-conditioned) library café a.k.a Café Hotshot!
This library café is practically a sanctuary for us students bent on just chilling, catching up with friends, or even doing school work (since we can’t eat and study at the same at various other spots of the library)!
We could eat ridiculously-cheap hotdogs at just $1.20 or munch on delectable chocolate chip cookies or biscotti at just a dollar each! There are also a variety of diverse thirst-quenchers you can drink from carbonated drinks to frappuchinos(for those caffeine lovers out there!) to smoothies! And of course there are a great variety of snacks like potato chips to seaweed and many more! There are also sandwiches and lasagne and some pastry. Can you say spoilt-for-choice? For those wanting to complete urgent assignments while waiting for your friends to finish eating or for some others who just want to surf the net, there are various computer terminals accompanied with sleek, high top chairs just beckoning you to utilize them!Ever want to discuss some things about a project and also eat at the same time but got frustrated because eating is not allowed in the library premises? Fret not! There is a pretty large table enough for about perhaps 8 people and large, comfy, cushioned stools located at next to one side of the computer terminals!

Here are the photos to share: Gathering at BBQ waiting for full attendance[from left] Soon Huat , Yao xing and Yaqzan trying hard to setup the fire Hershey Chocolate syrup for BBQ! also expensive almost all food!Finally! charcoal is ready and we start BBQ! haha Chicken wing! Finally! got some fire is burning the charcoal! but still not hot enough to cook any food expect marshmallowclass photo! but is after water bomb fight! LOL!
“Shall we have a class outing?” That was a BIG question for our class MB0805. At that time, we had just set up a class blog poll. East Coast Park, Sentosa and Pasir Ris Park were the options. The voting went to well and we had a tie between Sentosa and East Coast Park. There were more than 25 votes and the options of East Coast Park and Sentosa were simply too popular! Labels: goingplaces, hangout spots
After one of Mr Jay’s (our favourite lecturer) MicroA practical labs, we had a tie-breaking session. Clarabelle took the attendance list and actually organised the vote manually this time. One person was entitled to only one vote. In the end, Sentosa won! 10th June was to be the day.
The day came. Early birds Bei Si, Chi Ying, Clarabelle, Gerard, Jabez, Jacinta, Samson and Sharon met at Vivocity at 9am. They found a shady spot along the Siloso beach. Then some prepared picnic lunches while others had fun with a flying saucer a.k.a Frisbee.
By 11am, most of our classmates had arrived. We had fun on the beach, ice-cream at Ben & Jerry, cycling, sunbathing, swimming, volleyball and some silly games. We actually tried playing Frisbee in water. It was fun. After swimming, we played dog-and-bone hunt, where we actually buried a stick deep into the sand. Two teams of four will try to compete and dig for it. We stayed on and watched the sun set and left the beach around 7pm. Most of our classmates had gone home by then but we decided to stay on at Vivo and have our dinner.
Some of us actually got sunburns after this outing. Nevertheless, it was a day of endless joy for MB0805!

Okay, I was actually thinking if I should write the serious side or the fun side for the oversea study trip that the PS class attended. Knowing that other class might just cover the learning objectives and whatever serious stuff we had done in Hong Kong, I shall concentrate on the fun we had enjoyed in Hong Kong. But, note that I’m only portraying the fun side, not that there is no serious business involved. Sooooooo, get into the fun business now! Labels: goingplaces, hangout spots
Fun Point #1: Do not forget Hong Kong is probably made a shopping paradise. Fun Point #2: Do not forget Hong Kong built a Disneyland to attract cai toh (meaning being capable to be ripped off) tourist.
Fun Point #3: Do not forget Hong Kong has cheap and good food without delicious melamine from China. And nothing is too expensive here.
… and maybe some dog cookies for snacks too, as seen below. There’s a great selection of dog foods there, for every dog, ha, yes, dogs. (probably my class people loves it too. Hahahaha)
Fun Point #4: Hong Kong probably had a height 1000 1000 1000 feet taller than Singapore. (Exaggerating, i.e.) So, here we are, at the Peak – one of the tourist attraction in Hong Kong. Pictures taken are obviously of no professional skills. Ha.
Final Point: It might just be quite challenging to try your luck and catch the last plane home back to Singapore, when Hong Kong was stucked with No.8 typhoon then.
- Okay people, that’s all I have for you, for now. Hope you all had a feast of your eyes with the pictures specially prepared! Till next time! Before I end off, I shall present to you all, the people who sent us off the Hong Kong and of course, our PS’s class of 07! (*Pictures are collated from some other people too, not just from myself)

When we spoke to her, she either shook or nodded her head only. We brought her to the different games stall and to the movie screening (Mr. Bean’s movie). We can feel that she really enjoyed herself at the carnival, and she seems especially happy when she won prizes at the game stalls and also while eating the popcorns and candy floss. After the lunch break, there were performances by the Japanese cultural dance and students who sang songs. Seeing the MINDS clients enjoying themselves as they danced to the music makes me feel happy too (: At about 2.30pm, the carnival ended and it was time to say goodbye to our clients. I felt sad as I really enjoyed the time with them. Some of the clients are very friendly as they would smile and wave goodbye to you and also seeing them enjoying themselves at the carnival really puts a smile on my face (:

What is a library café without books and magazines? Be spoilt for choice as this café has books ranging from non-fiction which mainly centres about travelling at foreign countries, to comics and storybooks! Unleash your passion for music! There is even a piano located near one entrance/exit of the café! Also, a “reading corner” shelf packed with recent newspapers also can be found somewhere near the piano. And here one can sit back, relax and enjoy a good blockbuster with a couple of friends! So what are you guys waiting for? Come on down to the Library Café with your friends and chill! It is located at the fourth level of the NYP’s Library. Labels: goingplaces, hangout spots Presenting to you, the NYP’s ever-so-hot (metaphorically speaking, of course not literally as the café itself is air-conditioned) library café a.k.a Café Hotshot!
This library café is practically a sanctuary for us students bent on just chilling, catching up with friends, or even doing school work (since we can’t eat and study at the same at various other spots of the library)!
We could eat ridiculously-cheap hotdogs at just $1.20 or munch on delectable chocolate chip cookies or biscotti at just a dollar each! There are also a variety of diverse thirst-quenchers you can drink from carbonated drinks to frappuchinos(for those caffeine lovers out there!) to smoothies! And of course there are a great variety of snacks like potato chips to seaweed and many more! There are also sandwiches and lasagne and some pastry. Can you say spoilt-for-choice? For those wanting to complete urgent assignments while waiting for your friends to finish eating or for some others who just want to surf the net, there are various computer terminals accompanied with sleek, high top chairs just beckoning you to utilize them!Ever want to discuss some things about a project and also eat at the same time but got frustrated because eating is not allowed in the library premises? Fret not! There is a pretty large table enough for about perhaps 8 people and large, comfy, cushioned stools located at next to one side of the computer terminals!

Contributed by Pow Ze Liang(MB0803) Posted up by Desiree Lau (071224N) (MB0704) Labels: goingplaces, hangout spotsMB0803 had a class outing BBQ at pasir park during the mid of June.
Here are the photos to share: Gathering at BBQ waiting for full attendance[from left] Soon Huat , Yao xing and Yaqzan trying hard to setup the fire Hershey Chocolate syrup for BBQ! also expensive almost all food!Finally! charcoal is ready and we start BBQ! haha Chicken wing! Finally! got some fire is burning the charcoal! but still not hot enough to cook any food expect marshmallowclass photo! but is after water bomb fight! LOL!
“Shall we have a class outing?” That was a BIG question for our class MB0805. At that time, we had just set up a class blog poll. East Coast Park, Sentosa and Pasir Ris Park were the options. The voting went to well and we had a tie between Sentosa and East Coast Park. There were more than 25 votes and the options of East Coast Park and Sentosa were simply too popular! Labels: goingplaces, hangout spots
After one of Mr Jay’s (our favourite lecturer) MicroA practical labs, we had a tie-breaking session. Clarabelle took the attendance list and actually organised the vote manually this time. One person was entitled to only one vote. In the end, Sentosa won! 10th June was to be the day.
The day came. Early birds Bei Si, Chi Ying, Clarabelle, Gerard, Jabez, Jacinta, Samson and Sharon met at Vivocity at 9am. They found a shady spot along the Siloso beach. Then some prepared picnic lunches while others had fun with a flying saucer a.k.a Frisbee.
By 11am, most of our classmates had arrived. We had fun on the beach, ice-cream at Ben & Jerry, cycling, sunbathing, swimming, volleyball and some silly games. We actually tried playing Frisbee in water. It was fun. After swimming, we played dog-and-bone hunt, where we actually buried a stick deep into the sand. Two teams of four will try to compete and dig for it. We stayed on and watched the sun set and left the beach around 7pm. Most of our classmates had gone home by then but we decided to stay on at Vivo and have our dinner.
Some of us actually got sunburns after this outing. Nevertheless, it was a day of endless joy for MB0805!

Okay, I was actually thinking if I should write the serious side or the fun side for the oversea study trip that the PS class attended. Knowing that other class might just cover the learning objectives and whatever serious stuff we had done in Hong Kong, I shall concentrate on the fun we had enjoyed in Hong Kong. But, note that I’m only portraying the fun side, not that there is no serious business involved. Sooooooo, get into the fun business now! Labels: goingplaces, hangout spots
Fun Point #1: Do not forget Hong Kong is probably made a shopping paradise. Fun Point #2: Do not forget Hong Kong built a Disneyland to attract cai toh (meaning being capable to be ripped off) tourist.
Fun Point #3: Do not forget Hong Kong has cheap and good food without delicious melamine from China. And nothing is too expensive here.
… and maybe some dog cookies for snacks too, as seen below. There’s a great selection of dog foods there, for every dog, ha, yes, dogs. (probably my class people loves it too. Hahahaha)
Fun Point #4: Hong Kong probably had a height 1000 1000 1000 feet taller than Singapore. (Exaggerating, i.e.) So, here we are, at the Peak – one of the tourist attraction in Hong Kong. Pictures taken are obviously of no professional skills. Ha.
Final Point: It might just be quite challenging to try your luck and catch the last plane home back to Singapore, when Hong Kong was stucked with No.8 typhoon then.
- Okay people, that’s all I have for you, for now. Hope you all had a feast of your eyes with the pictures specially prepared! Till next time! Before I end off, I shall present to you all, the people who sent us off the Hong Kong and of course, our PS’s class of 07! (*Pictures are collated from some other people too, not just from myself)

I guess, this is a pretty late entry about the MINDS carnival held on the 10th Oct. Half of our class, MB 0801 had the opportunity to be in charge of the game stalls. We had so much fun making the games, decorating the stalls and of course not forgetting seeing the happy faces of the clients after they had played our games. Some of the clients were very shy, they were so shy to approach our game stall but we managed to get them to play our games. When you successfully make them happy, you get this feeling of pure satisfaction that you wouldn't want to part with them at the end of the day and you want to make them laugh smile more. Labels: goingplaces, hangout spots
The performances put up by the various groups were awesome. I could see on the clients’ face that they enjoyed the performances very much. Some of them even went up the stage to perform. They were so energetic and lively.
There were so much fun and laughter in the sports hall.
Overall, our class had a great day at the carnival.

June Babies. Labels: goingplaces, hangout spots
My class PS0802 had conducted a celebration for three of our beloved classmates. Khalid, Nadiah and Evelynn. It was held at Swensen. Firstly, we had our lunch. Pizzas were the main course for us. Unfortunately, one pizza is insufficient for 2 people. Haha. But anyway, using the class voucher that we had won during the freshmen orientation, we bought 2 large ice cream cakes. One the original flavour while the other was oreo crush. It was yum yum. Khalid had an unexpected gift from Zhareena. His punk hair was destroyed when Zhareena pour a glass of water over him. It was a blast, as we had accomplish our mission : sabo-ing Khalid. We sang the bday song so loud that a neighbouring couple starts to giggle. Here’s a few photos of our class.Birthday pplindulging the last few slices of ice creamWhole class...

Posted up by : Desiree Lau (071224N)(MB0704) Labels: goingplaces, hangout spotsBefore the last day of school reopens, which was on the Friday, the school of SCL held a MINDS Carnival. This carnival involves students from Year 1, Year 2, mentors, lecturers and of course students from MINDS. We have to report to school early in the morning to have our briefing for this event. This is a compulsory event for those people involved. Each student was paired up with one student from MINDS and this would be their buddy for the day. The people involved in the event were allocated by different buses whereby we were given an envelope with the buses written on top of it. I was allocated Bus D. That means my buddy is from bus D. In the envelope, there are still a piece of paper which is something like a game list, after you have brought your buddy to those game stations, let the game masters or game-in-charge to sign the paper. Presents and prizes could also be worn at the stalls. The aim is to bring your buddy to as many stations as possible. There are still candy floss and popcorn coupons in the envelope.After the briefing, we went to North Canteen to wait then fetch our buddy. We were each given a tag with our buddy name on it. This is to help identify each other. We went to look for our buddy and finally I found her. Then I brought her to the hall for games and snacks. After an hour or so, there is a new event that came up, which is Karaoke session. My buddy saw her friends on the stage singing and she told me that she also wants to sing, so I brought her to queue up. Finally, it’s her turn! The stage MC was students from Year 3. They asked her what she wants to sing. She then told them that she want to sing Xiao Wei. So, she sang. Although at some point she does not really know how to sing, the MC helped her by singing with her too. After she came down from stage, she was happy. After a while, I brought her to lunch. Then we went back to hall again. We then sat in the hall to watch performances. Lastly, the moment has arrived. It’s dancing time! Anyone interested in dancing could go up to the stage to dance. Music was being played. I then asked my buddy if she wants go up, and then she say YA. So, up she went. I saw her dancing happily on stage. After quite long, the dancing session ended. She came down and went back to her seat. Her face was red. I ask her why she said she felt very warm. After all the activities had ended, we had to bring them to queue up and be seated in the hall according to their bus number. Their teacher in-charge then needs to take their attendance. After attendance was taken, they were brought to their respective buses in an orderly manner. The MINDS Carnival had finally ended. It was a meaningful day…Contributed by : Toh Shi Min (072165D) (MB0704)
Labels: goingplaces, hangout spotsOn the last day of our exam for year 2 semester 1, which we sat for the Molecular Biology and Techniques, the whole class of MB0704 went out for a class outing. It was great that we had finally finished our last paper. Although after having sat for a tough paper, we were still energetic enough to have our class outing. Our class decided to have lunch together as our class outing as this is more meaningful whereby we could chat, interact with our classmates and of course our mentor, Dr Phoon. We decided to have lunch at Pizza Hut. Dr Phoon suggested that we go to the Ang Mo Kio Pizzahut as it is nearer to our school. So, we made our way there by walking! It was quite fun as we walk there as a class and chatted happily along the way. The atmosphere was good. This was a good way for us to bond together. Finally, we reached our destination. We sat on a long table as there are around 23 people in our class. Our class decided to our set meals as they are cheaper and we could also share as a class. While waiting for food; drinks and soup were served, we chat and took pictures. We stayed there for about 1 to 2 hours then we left. Dr Phoon went back to school. Some of us decided to catch a movie, some went shopping and some went home. This class outing was meaningful, fun and memorable. Hope everyone enjoy!Contributed by : Toh Shi Min (072165D) (MB0704)Posted up by : Desiree Lau (071224N) (MB0704)

Labels: goingplaces, hangout spots15th ..... IN the morning our whole class met up for badminton lol , all agreed to meet at atrium 10 in the morning... but alot were late. =) Finally every1 gathered at 11, reached the sports hall at around 11 .20 Everyone look soo nice in their sports outfit. Most of them can play relatively well but certainly not up to the standard of school team. Three guys: jonathan(handsome guy) ,mave(MR nice ) and nic(EMO boy ) were sort of the better players in our class lol (smashes and lobbing) pro badminton skill which many of us cannot display lol. Many of us lost to 3 of them. After the badminton game had ended, the girls decided that they want to go for a swim, reached the pool around 1.20. Water was clear and smell of bleach was thick. Actually only 2 of the girls went for swimming.... they wore bikini and went into the *children's pool,* that is, the smaller pool on the side, and guess wat... 1 of them even dono how to swim. Overall the event was a success and many of us enjoyed it. We even plan to repeat the program for the next few weeks before we try something else.
Thank you

Labels: goingplaces, hangout spotsHey guys! I had a great and fun experience taking care of my "client" on 10 october 2008. It was a huge event where almost every single of the SCL students were involved in it. We were there early in the morning at 8.20am where the venue was held at sport hall and the moment i stepped into it, I saw many different attractive game stalls. We had a briefing before we went on to fetch our "client". Most people had one to one "client" but i had a "client" who was shared between me and Azmah. This was due to the fact that she had epilepsy condition and she need extra care and attention. First we brought her to the various game stalls and she had a enjoyable time playing the short games. We clapped our hands and encouraged her whenever she win or lose the game. She loved the gift that she won from all the stalls that she played! Then we filled our stomach at North canteen and after eating we watched the cartoon "Mr Bean". Back to the sport hall, there were performances and the giving of lucky draw gift.To end this event, songs were played where everyone were dancing happily. This event truly gave us the opportunity to interact with the "clients" where we have in mind that there are indeed many peoples out there who need love from the society.Contributed by :Julia Sim (072687G) (MB0704)

Labels: goingplaces, hangout spotsLast Friday, the SCL(LS) students were involved in the MINDS carnival which was held in our school’s sports hall. We had to gather there by 8.30am in the morning (it was so early!) for a briefing. We then received a name tag (to identify who we are and the emergency numbers) and an envelope which contained the “game coupons”, a movie ticket and a popcorn and candy floss coupon each for our MINDS client. When our clients arrived, they went over to the north canteen to gather and we were supposed to find our clients by their name tag. However, I was disappointed to find out that my client was absent ): Therefore I joined my friend, Yina and her client. Our client was very quiet, probably because she felt shy.

After the lunch break, there were performances by the Japanese cultural dance and students who sang songs. Seeing the MINDS clients enjoying themselves as they danced to the music makes me feel happy too (: At about 2.30pm, the carnival ended and it was time to say goodbye to our clients. I felt sad as I really enjoyed the time with them. Some of the clients are very friendly as they would smile and wave goodbye to you and also seeing them enjoying themselves at the carnival really puts a smile on my face (:

It was a blast, as we had accomplish our mission : sabo-ing Khalid. We sang the bday song so loud that a neighbouring couple starts to giggle. Here’s a few photos of our class.Birthday pplindulging the last few slices of ice creamWhole class...

Posted up by : Desiree Lau (071224N)(MB0704) Labels: goingplaces, hangout spotsBefore the last day of school reopens, which was on the Friday, the school of SCL held a MINDS Carnival. This carnival involves students from Year 1, Year 2, mentors, lecturers and of course students from MINDS. We have to report to school early in the morning to have our briefing for this event. This is a compulsory event for those people involved. Each student was paired up with one student from MINDS and this would be their buddy for the day. The people involved in the event were allocated by different buses whereby we were given an envelope with the buses written on top of it. I was allocated Bus D. That means my buddy is from bus D. In the envelope, there are still a piece of paper which is something like a game list, after you have brought your buddy to those game stations, let the game masters or game-in-charge to sign the paper. Presents and prizes could also be worn at the stalls. The aim is to bring your buddy to as many stations as possible. There are still candy floss and popcorn coupons in the envelope.After the briefing, we went to North Canteen to wait then fetch our buddy. We were each given a tag with our buddy name on it. This is to help identify each other. We went to look for our buddy and finally I found her. Then I brought her to the hall for games and snacks. After an hour or so, there is a new event that came up, which is Karaoke session. My buddy saw her friends on the stage singing and she told me that she also wants to sing, so I brought her to queue up. Finally, it’s her turn! The stage MC was students from Year 3. They asked her what she wants to sing. She then told them that she want to sing Xiao Wei. So, she sang. Although at some point she does not really know how to sing, the MC helped her by singing with her too. After she came down from stage, she was happy. After a while, I brought her to lunch. Then we went back to hall again. We then sat in the hall to watch performances. Lastly, the moment has arrived. It’s dancing time! Anyone interested in dancing could go up to the stage to dance. Music was being played. I then asked my buddy if she wants go up, and then she say YA. So, up she went. I saw her dancing happily on stage. After quite long, the dancing session ended. She came down and went back to her seat. Her face was red. I ask her why she said she felt very warm. After all the activities had ended, we had to bring them to queue up and be seated in the hall according to their bus number. Their teacher in-charge then needs to take their attendance. After attendance was taken, they were brought to their respective buses in an orderly manner. The MINDS Carnival had finally ended. It was a meaningful day…Contributed by : Toh Shi Min (072165D) (MB0704)
Labels: goingplaces, hangout spotsOn the last day of our exam for year 2 semester 1, which we sat for the Molecular Biology and Techniques, the whole class of MB0704 went out for a class outing. It was great that we had finally finished our last paper. Although after having sat for a tough paper, we were still energetic enough to have our class outing. Our class decided to have lunch together as our class outing as this is more meaningful whereby we could chat, interact with our classmates and of course our mentor, Dr Phoon. We decided to have lunch at Pizza Hut. Dr Phoon suggested that we go to the Ang Mo Kio Pizzahut as it is nearer to our school. So, we made our way there by walking! It was quite fun as we walk there as a class and chatted happily along the way. The atmosphere was good. This was a good way for us to bond together. Finally, we reached our destination. We sat on a long table as there are around 23 people in our class. Our class decided to our set meals as they are cheaper and we could also share as a class. While waiting for food; drinks and soup were served, we chat and took pictures. We stayed there for about 1 to 2 hours then we left. Dr Phoon went back to school. Some of us decided to catch a movie, some went shopping and some went home. This class outing was meaningful, fun and memorable. Hope everyone enjoy!Contributed by : Toh Shi Min (072165D) (MB0704)Posted up by : Desiree Lau (071224N) (MB0704)

Labels: goingplaces, hangout spots15th ..... IN the morning our whole class met up for badminton lol , all agreed to meet at atrium 10 in the morning... but alot were late. =) Finally every1 gathered at 11, reached the sports hall at around 11 .20 Everyone look soo nice in their sports outfit. Most of them can play relatively well but certainly not up to the standard of school team. Three guys: jonathan(handsome guy) ,mave(MR nice ) and nic(EMO boy ) were sort of the better players in our class lol (smashes and lobbing) pro badminton skill which many of us cannot display lol. Many of us lost to 3 of them. After the badminton game had ended, the girls decided that they want to go for a swim, reached the pool around 1.20. Water was clear and smell of bleach was thick. Actually only 2 of the girls went for swimming.... they wore bikini and went into the *children's pool,* that is, the smaller pool on the side, and guess wat... 1 of them even dono how to swim. Overall the event was a success and many of us enjoyed it. We even plan to repeat the program for the next few weeks before we try something else.
Thank you

Labels: goingplaces, hangout spotsHey guys! I had a great and fun experience taking care of my "client" on 10 october 2008. It was a huge event where almost every single of the SCL students were involved in it. We were there early in the morning at 8.20am where the venue was held at sport hall and the moment i stepped into it, I saw many different attractive game stalls. We had a briefing before we went on to fetch our "client". Most people had one to one "client" but i had a "client" who was shared between me and Azmah. This was due to the fact that she had epilepsy condition and she need extra care and attention. First we brought her to the various game stalls and she had a enjoyable time playing the short games. We clapped our hands and encouraged her whenever she win or lose the game. She loved the gift that she won from all the stalls that she played! Then we filled our stomach at North canteen and after eating we watched the cartoon "Mr Bean". Back to the sport hall, there were performances and the giving of lucky draw gift.To end this event, songs were played where everyone were dancing happily. This event truly gave us the opportunity to interact with the "clients" where we have in mind that there are indeed many peoples out there who need love from the society.Contributed by :Julia Sim (072687G) (MB0704)

Labels: goingplaces, hangout spotsLast Friday, the SCL(LS) students were involved in the MINDS carnival which was held in our school’s sports hall. We had to gather there by 8.30am in the morning (it was so early!) for a briefing. We then received a name tag (to identify who we are and the emergency numbers) and an envelope which contained the “game coupons”, a movie ticket and a popcorn and candy floss coupon each for our MINDS client. When our clients arrived, they went over to the north canteen to gather and we were supposed to find our clients by their name tag. However, I was disappointed to find out that my client was absent ): Therefore I joined my friend, Yina and her client. Our client was very quiet, probably because she felt shy. When we spoke to her, she either shook or nodded her head only. We brought her to the different games stall and to the movie screening (Mr. Bean’s movie). We can feel that she really enjoyed herself at the carnival, and she seems especially happy when she won prizes at the game stalls and also while eating the popcorns and candy floss. After the lunch break, there were performances by the Japanese cultural dance and students who sang songs. Seeing the MINDS clients enjoying themselves as they danced to the music makes me feel happy too (: At about 2.30pm, the carnival ended and it was time to say goodbye to our clients. I felt sad as I really enjoyed the time with them. Some of the clients are very friendly as they would smile and wave goodbye to you and also seeing them enjoying themselves at the carnival really puts a smile on my face (:

What is a library café without books and magazines? Be spoilt for choice as this café has books ranging from non-fiction which mainly centres about travelling at foreign countries, to comics and storybooks! Unleash your passion for music! There is even a piano located near one entrance/exit of the café! Also, a “reading corner” shelf packed with recent newspapers also can be found somewhere near the piano. And here one can sit back, relax and enjoy a good blockbuster with a couple of friends! So what are you guys waiting for? Come on down to the Library Café with your friends and chill! It is located at the fourth level of the NYP’s Library. Labels: goingplaces, hangout spots Presenting to you, the NYP’s ever-so-hot (metaphorically speaking, of course not literally as the café itself is air-conditioned) library café a.k.a Café Hotshot!
This library café is practically a sanctuary for us students bent on just chilling, catching up with friends, or even doing school work (since we can’t eat and study at the same at various other spots of the library)!
We could eat ridiculously-cheap hotdogs at just $1.20 or munch on delectable chocolate chip cookies or biscotti at just a dollar each! There are also a variety of diverse thirst-quenchers you can drink from carbonated drinks to frappuchinos(for those caffeine lovers out there!) to smoothies! And of course there are a great variety of snacks like potato chips to seaweed and many more! There are also sandwiches and lasagne and some pastry. Can you say spoilt-for-choice? For those wanting to complete urgent assignments while waiting for your friends to finish eating or for some others who just want to surf the net, there are various computer terminals accompanied with sleek, high top chairs just beckoning you to utilize them!Ever want to discuss some things about a project and also eat at the same time but got frustrated because eating is not allowed in the library premises? Fret not! There is a pretty large table enough for about perhaps 8 people and large, comfy, cushioned stools located at next to one side of the computer terminals!

Contributed by Pow Ze Liang(MB0803) Posted up by Desiree Lau (071224N) (MB0704) Labels: goingplaces, hangout spotsMB0803 had a class outing BBQ at pasir park during the mid of June.
Here are the photos to share: Gathering at BBQ waiting for full attendance[from left] Soon Huat , Yao xing and Yaqzan trying hard to setup the fire Hershey Chocolate syrup for BBQ! also expensive almost all food!Finally! charcoal is ready and we start BBQ! haha Chicken wing! Finally! got some fire is burning the charcoal! but still not hot enough to cook any food expect marshmallowclass photo! but is after water bomb fight! LOL!
“Shall we have a class outing?” That was a BIG question for our class MB0805. At that time, we had just set up a class blog poll. East Coast Park, Sentosa and Pasir Ris Park were the options. The voting went to well and we had a tie between Sentosa and East Coast Park. There were more than 25 votes and the options of East Coast Park and Sentosa were simply too popular! Labels: goingplaces, hangout spots
After one of Mr Jay’s (our favourite lecturer) MicroA practical labs, we had a tie-breaking session. Clarabelle took the attendance list and actually organised the vote manually this time. One person was entitled to only one vote. In the end, Sentosa won! 10th June was to be the day.
The day came. Early birds Bei Si, Chi Ying, Clarabelle, Gerard, Jabez, Jacinta, Samson and Sharon met at Vivocity at 9am. They found a shady spot along the Siloso beach. Then some prepared picnic lunches while others had fun with a flying saucer a.k.a Frisbee.
By 11am, most of our classmates had arrived. We had fun on the beach, ice-cream at Ben & Jerry, cycling, sunbathing, swimming, volleyball and some silly games. We actually tried playing Frisbee in water. It was fun. After swimming, we played dog-and-bone hunt, where we actually buried a stick deep into the sand. Two teams of four will try to compete and dig for it. We stayed on and watched the sun set and left the beach around 7pm. Most of our classmates had gone home by then but we decided to stay on at Vivo and have our dinner.
Some of us actually got sunburns after this outing. Nevertheless, it was a day of endless joy for MB0805!

Okay, I was actually thinking if I should write the serious side or the fun side for the oversea study trip that the PS class attended. Knowing that other class might just cover the learning objectives and whatever serious stuff we had done in Hong Kong, I shall concentrate on the fun we had enjoyed in Hong Kong. But, note that I’m only portraying the fun side, not that there is no serious business involved. Sooooooo, get into the fun business now! Labels: goingplaces, hangout spots
Fun Point #1: Do not forget Hong Kong is probably made a shopping paradise. Fun Point #2: Do not forget Hong Kong built a Disneyland to attract cai toh (meaning being capable to be ripped off) tourist.
Fun Point #3: Do not forget Hong Kong has cheap and good food without delicious melamine from China. And nothing is too expensive here.
… and maybe some dog cookies for snacks too, as seen below. There’s a great selection of dog foods there, for every dog, ha, yes, dogs. (probably my class people loves it too. Hahahaha)
Fun Point #4: Hong Kong probably had a height 1000 1000 1000 feet taller than Singapore. (Exaggerating, i.e.) So, here we are, at the Peak – one of the tourist attraction in Hong Kong. Pictures taken are obviously of no professional skills. Ha.
Final Point: It might just be quite challenging to try your luck and catch the last plane home back to Singapore, when Hong Kong was stucked with No.8 typhoon then.
- Okay people, that’s all I have for you, for now. Hope you all had a feast of your eyes with the pictures specially prepared! Till next time! Before I end off, I shall present to you all, the people who sent us off the Hong Kong and of course, our PS’s class of 07! (*Pictures are collated from some other people too, not just from myself)

I guess, this is a pretty late entry about the MINDS carnival held on the 10th Oct. Half of our class, MB 0801 had the opportunity to be in charge of the game stalls. We had so much fun making the games, decorating the stalls and of course not forgetting seeing the happy faces of the clients after they had played our games. Some of the clients were very shy, they were so shy to approach our game stall but we managed to get them to play our games. When you successfully make them happy, you get this feeling of pure satisfaction that you wouldn't want to part with them at the end of the day and you want to make them laugh smile more. Labels: goingplaces, hangout spots
The performances put up by the various groups were awesome. I could see on the clients’ face that they enjoyed the performances very much. Some of them even went up the stage to perform. They were so energetic and lively.
There were so much fun and laughter in the sports hall.
Overall, our class had a great day at the carnival.

My class PS0802 had conducted a celebration for three of our beloved classmates. Khalid, Nadiah and Evelynn. It was held at Swensen. Firstly, we had our lunch. Pizzas were the main course for us. Unfortunately, one pizza is insufficient for 2 people. Haha. But anyway, using the class voucher that we had won during the freshmen orientation, we bought 2 large ice cream cakes. One the original flavour while the other was oreo crush. It was yum yum. Khalid had an unexpected gift from Zhareena. His punk hair was destroyed when Zhareena pour a glass of water over him. It was a blast, as we had accomplish our mission : sabo-ing Khalid. We sang the bday song so loud that a neighbouring couple starts to giggle.
