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)

SS on Time-Table

Apparently, a lot of freshies are going around asking for the "SS" location as reflected on their time-table. Not sure how many of you (Year 2, Year 3 & Alumni) actually suffer the same problem .. :). So, the answer for our poor freshies is .. SS is "Self-Study" => implies time allocated for you and your project mates to discuss and do your module/project at a PLACE of your convenience. ie. normally the LIBRARY. Welcome to Poly Life !
