Goodbye 2009 and Hello 2010

It's time of the year whereby we gather with our family and friends to catch up with one another, spend the festive holidays together and for some, it might just be going for good year-end sales, taking a good holiday abroad.

December 31 marks the end of the year and we are probably thinking about how we are going to celebrate the night, what we are having for dinner, who we are going to meet and where to catch the best view of the fireworks with our latest DSLR or where to get the best iPhone deal.

So what does the last day of the year mean to you? Perhaps it's a time to reflect on what had been done for this year, what have you achieved this year, what nice/not nice things you did? Not just academically but the mental and emotional aspect too.

Anything that you need to make amend before the year ends? Just like the usual Chinese New Year's saying goes "Do not owe $$ before the Chinese New Year starts else it's bad luck".

Is there anything that you want to settle before the year ends? Anyone you want to say 'Thank You' or 'Sorry' to?

If you had not done so, it's a good time and opportunity to close the chapter and move on. Of course, one should not drag till end of the year to settle such issues - but if you had not done so, it's a great opportunity to reflect and act on it.

It is also a time to COUNT OUR BLESSINGS. It might be a good or not too good year but there are always good things to count on. Look at the year and set resolutions for the new year so that at the end of 2010, you can look back and see how you have "grown".

So to 2009, we'll say Goodbye and to 2010, a warm Hello. May your dreams come true in 2010 as you set yourself thinking and acting on it cos dreams don't just happen overnight. The hard work you put in, you'll receive your due rewards.

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 !

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 !

New Beginnings!

Wow!

Its been a while, while the OLT Team takes a break and enjoyed the CNY holidays. And in a blink, the good old 15 days of the CNY is already over (still got 20 mins left 8-)...

Thanks to all the seniors who left parting words for juniors in the previous post! For those who have yet to leave your mark, feel free to do so, any time!

In the short span of 2 weeks, our final years have completed their project/IAP/exams and have started to look for jobs, or taking a long-deserved break. Our Year 1s and 2s have also completed their exams, and starting tomorrow, Year 2 Path B students will be starting their FYP/IAP and be officially promoted to Year 3s! And the campus is going to be buzzling again, isn't it exciting?

Also the JAE results will be out soon and our potential students will be getting their postings on Tuesday 6 Mar 2007!

So many happening things happening, so many New Beginnings! Stay tuned and we will bring you all the buzz from DMIT!

Student Say: Parting Words...

Time flies, and tomorrow will be the last day in school for our Year 3 students. Its been a stressful yet fun-riding journey for the past 3 years, and we are sure the strong bonds of friendship that you have forged will last you a lifetime!

Here's what some of the graduating students have to say about their 3 years in DMIT:

Fiona says:

my parting words for juniors are, dont get too used to skipping lectures, labs and tutorials. dont complain if your lesson starts early in the morning 8 o'clock. better start counting your blessings now, FYP timing is much worst than your normal lessons.

HAHAHA sounds crappy.

aiya, just HAVE FUN DURING FYP!!!! wahahha u'll miss FYP!

Valerie says:

"booya! Today's the day i'm out of nyp! Not officially yet though, but still.. hmmm. It has been a long 3 years, but yet a very memorable one. Maybe alot of you cannot wait to get out of NYP asap. I used to think like that, but now that i'm out, i miss the days i skipped lectures with my friends, walk to amk for lunch during long breaks and all those stuff which most of us do. hahaha!

NYP may mark the end of another phase of my life, but the friendships made continues till the end. jiayou all of you for the rest of poly life, and treasure your time there because you're out even before you know it. takecare! ((:

If you are a senior who is graduating, do leave comments in this post on YOUR parting words!
