HEYYO!

About 2 weekends ago, another batch of DPCS visited Marine Terrace House for CIP work again.

What we were supposed to do was the same as Saturday. Packing and delivering of food. BUT FIRST OF ALL, it was tough to get to the place and it was BLAZING HOT!! Nevertheless, we were sponsored transport to the area so thank you teachers! (Y) It was rather shocking that CIP was completed so quickly that day. Most of the folks weren't at home to receive the food, so I guess that explains why.

Everyone was really helpful and didn't complain at all. If any, they felt like the CIP was too short! *how lovely of them (':*

This session of CIP has definitely helped to bond the year 1s and some of the year 2s more... and don't fret, THERE WILL BE MORE ACTIVITIES FOR US TO GO CRAY CRAY & BOND!!!

We shall all, unite. Peace!

Thank you to all that made this event work out. And thank you too all the participants <3

CIP ~

Saturday, November 10, 2012

HEY GUYS!!!
As you know, the day begin with a drizzle in the morning before the rain stopped. Although there was a slight change in plan due to the rain, the CIP held at Marine Terrace Breeze Community Centre (located on the east side) was a success!

Before we get started with our job, we gathered in the CC for further instructions to be given as shown in the image below.

Basically, our job for the day was to help out with the packing of packet foods and help the elderly carry their packets of food while we walk them back to their home. However, due to the short period of rain in the morning, several students delivered the food to their doorsteps rather than just waiting for the elderly to come to retrieve their food share in the CC.

For me, my friend and I happened to walk this amiable elderly back to her home while I helped carry the packets of food for her. She is really a very cute, easy-going and educated woman who is rather active in taking parts in activities/talks which are mainly organised by the CC. Well, how old do u think she is? Give it a guess?......

She has just turned 80 this year! Unlike other elderly, she prefer to speak to us in English instead of dialect. Isn't she impressive!!! She is able to speak English very fluently and clearly even though she told us that she did not manage to finish her education at her young age. She also shared with us some of her stories back in her old days.

In addition, as we were quite early, the year 2 and year 1 students played a game known as the molecule bonding game. All of us really had so much fun in this ice-breaking game!

In brief, the service project for today was indeed a fruitful experience for everyone!

Ending this post with two pictures of the super chio Wilson Lim ;)

Lab Tour~

Monday, November 05, 2012

HELLO GUYS.

It's pretty dead here eh, but don't worry because IT'S GONNA CHANGE.

As you all know, our filthy rich school has decided to build us a new lab,

and........ it's finally ready!!

So basically, the lab consist of 3 big rooms and 3 smaller rooms to store equipment.

This is the first one:

LOOK, HOW PRETTY/FUTURISTIC/COOL IT IS.

The entrance is actually a glass door, so it's visible from outside and I bet the other courses are BURNING with jealousy.

The round tables will contain raw materials and chemicals.

This is the formulation room.

Blue lights from the floor and transparent chair. Très chic ;)

The right wall, with compartments to stylishly showcase perfumes.

The concept is basically, the perfume will be sprayed inside the round compartment, and the transparent bubble cover will trap the scent inside so it will not disperse so quickly. Anytime you wanna smell it again, you can just push the cover aside and poke your nose in (literally).

And here's Phoebe, Teresa and Ms Jessie Tong, our course coordinator.

Next to the room, on its right side, is a corridor.

We have lockers on the right side, cabinets on the left, and 3 doors on the left to the equipment room.

So those equipment/machines that are more sensitive will be kept here. The other 2 rooms look more or less the same.

At the other end of the corridor will be the laboratory where we do our experiments.

Looks kinda like the current lab that we're using, just MUCH nicer.

AND................

LOOK WE EVEN HAVE SALON BACKWASH CHAIRS.

And a shower actually. Not those emergency shower station you find in normal labs, but seriously LEGIT shower, with door and all. Too bad I didn't snap a pic of it.

The next room is our work space, where we can do our projects/study.

Chic room man, look even our lights are cool!!

The coolest part bout this room is THIS.

It's a........ I'm not even sure. But basically you can move it around and there are doors. So when you're feeling antisocial you can shift it so it faces the wall and close the doors.

COOL HUH.

Yeah, our new lab is siiiiiiiiick.

That's all folks. Gonna end this post with our current course president, Hilary Tay, trying to fly.
