NAPFA

In response to Xiao Bai's request to post about NAPFA, the OLT camera lady went on the NAPFA trail. As you can see, you are provided with highly proficient trainers for all your training sessions prior to the test. ( You did not think you could just go for the test, did you ?).

Is NAPFA so boring that the guy in blue below got to take a NAP ?

Youth Day ... :(

A year 1 student called me recently to ask about whether there are lessons on Monday cause all the primary, secondary and JCs' students are having off day due to Youth Day. I was bemused and informed him in an official sounding manner that Youth Day's off does not apply to him anymore. Hmmm ... poly students are of course still youths, but you have to celebrate it in your own fashion and ways though.

NYP Silat Team are IVP champions again !

The NYP Silat Team are IVP champions again! The tournament, held in NUS on the 2,3,9 and 10 June ended last Sunday. We clinched 6 golds, 6 silvers and 5 bronzes to retain our title. Winning the championship 2 years running really proves that we are the dominant force in tertiary level. For me it was a great experience to participate in the tournament. The atmosphere was magnificent. The intense rivalry and the immense pressure on your shoulders carrying NYP's name. All the institutions put up a great performance. The participating teams are all the 5 polytechnics, NUS, NTU, SMU, MI and ITE. Congratulations to all of us for being the best of the best. Haha. All the hard training for the past one year paid off. Let's enjoy the success together. =)

Bonjour

NYP has been the home to several French students who are currently undergoing their attachment. Have you spotted them around ? The OLT team sent our roving reporter to find out how they are doing thus far. Here's what she has gathered.

Maxime Baracco says:

I've worked in NYP since the beginning of February. This lab is highly sympathetic and quiet (important for me cause I can get easily angry in the morning if I don't have silence). My supervisor, Eliza, Jodi and Karl allow me to manage a little my time and that's something really important for a french student like me ! That's why I'm not the earliest bird of the lab... Working hard on a computer to do something blocked by the network is also very interesting ! ^_^ So far I met some friends in NYP and I really like this place, you got almost everything you need!

Michael Kulinicz says:

I'm staying in Singapore for the duration of my project (3months). Singapore is a very beautiful city with a lot of different cultures. During my project, I work in the best lab in NYP on a very interesting project. The lab staff is very sympathetic and helpful. So it's time to go back to my work.

Pierre Migalski says:

NYP is a huge school in engineering and development. The Pervasive Computing Lab proposes very interesting projects in several domains. I worked on UGV and UAV (unmanned ground/aerial vehicles). This project can have multiple applications as militaries or to save people after earthquake. The staff is very sympathetic, friendly , helpful and comprehensive. Toward working hours…lol. I don’t know what to say more, just choose this lab, it is a great one. Then back to work.

Say Hello to Koufu... :)

So :) many if not all of you have gone and eat at KF ... hmmm ... 'FJ' to 'KF'. Somehow, I am still not so used to KF, so much so that I have to think thrice when keying in my SMS "BF at KF" each morning to my buddies for breakfast. So far, from the poll, sentiments for FJ still runs high. However, I suspect it is just nostalgia. Food at the new place does not seem that much of a different. I do missed my Mee Siam and the friendly ladies at the dessert stall though ! Anybody has the same thoughts ?

Looking on the bright side, KF has the French Loaf set which is selling pretty good, however, mind your egg intake level ! 2 x half-boiled egg per week may not be so bad, but the temptation to give in every other day is great! Coffee and tea comes in the coffee-shop variety version and not the fresh grounded bean type. Not complaining, but just different. There are new makan-stuffs to be tried, thosai, murtabak, dim sum, etc.

From MI0714

During this three/four weeks of lectures, tutorial and labs, we learnt many new skills on IT. However some lessons became boring because a few lecturers were going too fast on the new chapters. Whereas some lecturers were very patient with us, clarifying any doubts we have on Lab lessons. Our class brought lots of laughter and joy during lessons and stayed united wherever we go. It is fun having our lectures, meals or even just chit chatting with each other in our free time.

The facilities over at NYP are very up to date and attractive. However, some of us have problems accessing the school wireless system. Windows Vista's problem ?. Some couldn’t connect at all whereas others kept getting ‘kicked’ out of the connection.

We look forward to our 3 years in NYP !

OLT : How many of you are having this problem ? Do email us or leave a comment so that we can gauge the number of students that are affected. Thanks !

University Admission Interview

Raymond from our batch of 2007 graduates recently went through an admission interview. In his words

... wanna share with you my experience during the interview. The interview will last for about 2 hours. The 1st hour they ask us to watch video, read article and see posters, then for nxt 1 hr the excitment begins. Judging panel consist of 3 people. first they ask to comment on the article you had read previously. so remember to take some note in case you forgot. dun tell them what is the article about. tell them ur opinion about it. then come to the estimation question. my question was "how many indian movie ring tone was sold in singapore in 1 year?" you got 2 minutes to write down your answer. the last part was teamwork. so overall the interview was going well and I hope to secure a place there. so to all graduates who is waiting for interview, my suggestion is be confident and be the first to answer if u can.

OLT : No prize for guessing which U ...

Our First 3 Weeks in DMIT

The OLT team sent our roving reporter to seek out our Year 1 students to find out about their first 3 weeks in NYP. Here's what he gathered ...

Shi Kai says

This past 4 weeks had been an eye opener for me as I enter the world of Multimedia and Infocomm. It has been exciting to meet all the new people of my life ... my friends and lecturers. Hope these three years will stay this way. Cheers !

Juliet says

NYP is actually a nice school with lots of fountain. But the food in the canteen really taste sux. I think NYP should open more canteen ...

Pei Yi says

Poly not slack at all !

Cheng Lip says

DMIT is very interesting, in the sense that it combines Multimedia (Video, sound, animation and graphics) with general IT stuffs (Database, etc)

OLT : Will post some of your other comments by and by. Please email us your posts and keep them coming !
