Note: This is a Retro Post that got saved as a draft. This is an account about how did I think off my Year 2 Sem 2 after the exams.
Hi guys?
How are you doing?
It is now May and my exams are effectively over.. Yahoo!!!
Yup yup.
Overall, I had a good semester the exams were a blast =)
LSM2103? Yucks!!!..I didn't managed to read finish Alberts et al.. I can't recall anything for the essays questions(per usual since O level Biology) and the MCQs were so confusing as everything looked quite plausible =( Just like the CAs. Let's hope that it does not pull down my CAP a lot...
CM1101? I had consultation with Dr. Tan the day before the exam on Molecular Orbital Theory. On the exam, i still didn't know how to do =( but the rest of the exam was OK =) I hope i can have an A grade for the module.=)
GE2220? It was quite all right as the essay section was 40% of the total marks and my MCQs and calculations was all right. So still can pass =). Prof Terry was a good lecturer and a friendly man =)I had quite a lot of consultations in the office and his advice helped me a lot =) For example, I told him about a paper I was reading for the module and he was interested enough to ask where did i got it from LOL. Too bad that i am not planning to read natural hazards ( which he is teaching)for next sem as I don't need it for Geosciences minor. Hmmmmm, maybe next time?
SSS1207? The exam was open book. It was quite easy but tedious to complete as i always felt I was in danger of not completing it. And i am a Life Sciences major, so woe to the other majors i guess. I brought my textbook and my singapore science centre guidebooks. I finished the exam 5 mins before time. Maybe an A?
It is the holidays now. Probably i will finish the last draft of the TTH article that I am writing after my article has be vetted by the profs=)After that, it will be published =)
I was on the train after my last exam when Cheng Long asked to the movie at 8.30pm...the problem was he called me at 8.20pm and there is no way that i am going go to the theatre on time as he thought that I was at home. Sigh...maybe another day?

My New Semester: The first 3 weeks
Hello everyone, how are you doing? The new school sem has already started and I am taking 6 modules already. Last sem results? Forget-about-it so I shall not dwell too much on that here. Also , in the TTH side, we have already started our preparations for the Spring 2011 and Fall 2010 issues. When both are done, both of them will be published on our website at http://triplehelixnus.wordpress.com/. Also , I will be taking over as editor in chief from Mabel this em while she moves up as President (which will be charge of the lit board). Yes, I will still report to her. Not much difference. While Mabel purposed to me that in Dec, I only gave my consent when we met again with the other managing editor Mary Ruth in Jan. I hope this arrangement can work out well .
I will be taking 6 modules this sem: they are:
PL1101E Introduction to Psychology:
We had 3 lectures so far both regarding introduction and biopsychology. I find the biopsychology very familar as i have done nerve conduction and action potential etc in other bio modules. The lecturer Dr Tjokro was quite enthustastic even if we are not. (6-8pm lecture, what do you expect?) Just had the first tutorial, where after introducing ourselves, we got into our groups to set and make questions for other groups. I set one thinking qn on the women without an amygydala only to be told by the tutor that it was much more of a factul qn. Perphaps I made it too easy...
GE2018 Biophysical Environment of Singapore
The first lecture was by Dr Lu who introduced the module and the geology lectures was by Dr Lim who taught me for GE2229 last academic year. As usual, she was quite funny and there was the 15 minute long lecture breaks. For example, she would go asking the whole lecture hall last weekwhether they have been to the places (like Phuket) which she mentions. (sadly, I usually reply a no.)Then she would go around saying we should go visit as they are quite nice blah blah. LOL.
ES2007S Professional Communication
There was no exam for this course. Part of the course will cover things like interpersonal communication, how to survive a job interview, write a killer resume and write a cover letter and nonverbal communication In our first lesson, we got together into groups and got to know our course mates better or at least some tidbits of them. One important part of the course was our e-portfolio which we set up a blog and blog about topics as required. You can see mine here at: http://siasinweies2007s.blogspot.com/
LSM 3255 Ecology of Terrestial Environments
Taught by Prof Corlett and Dr. Webb, the course really is more of an forest ecology course than anything else. We had a field trip to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve for our first practical. Dr Webb was my TA for this trip and he was friendly and easy to talk to and he was telling us about the forest. Interestingly, as he and I walked to the busstop, he asked me on whether I felt NUS was a tough school. I said that I agreed as I had to qualify for honours while NTU I didn't have to. He also asked me how was my CAP. I replied, BAD! Sigh!
LSM 3256 Tropical Horticulture
Taught by Prof Tan, who taught me for SSS1207 and LSM 3261, this module takes us through the basics of horticulture. We have a practical to teach us the various basic gardening tools while the rest of the practicals we are supposed to do group projects as go to the various sites ourselves. The first project was to a park.
Once, Prof Tan was speaking of getting rid of hornet's nest on his golden penda (native to Australia) tree in his own garden. I asked him why doesn't he cultivates native plants in his own garden if he seriously advocated the cultivation of native plants . He replied that it was a good question and did said he does that for 2 reasons: firstly, he tries to separate work from hobby in his life as much as he can and secondly, as he collaborates a lot with Nparks, if he cultivates native plants in his own garden, Nparks will accuse him of stealing plants from the protected area in seconds. When that happens, only DNA profiling will clear his name. In other words, “politics”! Damn politics..sometimes they really get you.
LSM 3272 Global Change Biology
A interesting module on conservation biology. We even had a guest lecturer telling us how conservation really works on the ground. We had even get into groups and to roleplay varoius groups who have differing interests in the oil palm industries and balancing with biodiversity. Other than that, Prof Sodhi can be funny at times. And we have another group project to do for this module.(Yes I have 4 modules with groupwork)
Last last Saturday, I went to help Chee Keat , Rick with their UROPS projects with the gobies and barnacles respectively in their field tripin Pulau Hantu. Their boat was at West Coast Pier and it was tough to go there as it is out of the way. I only got there just in time to board the boat. After a short ferry ride, we reached Pulau Hantu. It was the first time I got to use my booties.We got to work by spending some time casting net into the lagoon hoping to catch some gobies into the net. We managed to sort out some gobies out from the other bycatch like ikan bilis and so on. Rick has a good day in also in picking out suitable pieces of rubbish for his project. After we had a successful haul of specimens, we went and helped the honours student who booked the same boat for her asteroid project by looking for starfish on the sand and taking note of their feeding (or absence). We also had a nice chat with the poly students helping her. Apparently, they were interns and yet still found themselves doing field biology. We also met Ria Tan (of wildsingapore.com) and her crew when waiting for the boat that will take us back to civilization. She was quite a pleasure to talk to and shared with us of what she has been doing. We got back to NUS in a taxi and it was 11 plus when a got back home.. Overall, it was a nice night out and I got to experience how it is like to be in the field which is frankly, what I have always wanted to do but my CAP is quite..........forgettable.
Last Saturday, I met with Pei Rong (and her Bf) for our Tropical Horticultural Project at Toa Payoh Park. Lee Gang wasn't here so thus he wasn't present personally. We walked deciding on problems with the park for our lab report. Her boyfriend suggested some good pointers as he was working for Nparks previously. It was nice walk and we saw turtles, and other animals such as a white breasted waterhen along the way,.
Goodbye for now as you guys await my next post

Updates in December.
Dear everyone How are you doing? I apologize for not writing as much as I should.Here it goes:
The Spring 2009 Issue of the has recently been published with my article on invasive species. At this time of writing, we are currently submitting our articles for the Fall 2009 to our faculty advisors (which are profs in NUS) We have already submitted our articles to the international liteary board. For checking For this issue I have already submitted my SUJA for this issue as I am short of time to write another essay. With some edits and rearrangments and updates , the article should be ready for publication after the profs have gone through it =)
This semester, besides my writing work, I have become involved in the admin stuff of TTH. I have been promoted to Managing Editor “unoffically”. From the compliation of articles for the Spring issue to the handling of recruitment matters. This was also my job for the Triple Helix. We have succcesfully recruited some new writers for ourselves. So I handle interviews with my colleagues and sometimes with my editor in chief. I must thank Mabel, my editor in chief, for patiently instructing me in my new duties and her trust in me =) and my various colleagues who I worked with this semester for a good working relationship. =)
On the 16th December, my auntie who is mum's younger sister came to Singapore with her family. She stayed in MBS with her family for one night. My mum and sis and I came to the hotel room and stayed the night there. We did ate a lot as they went out quite a lot to eat. We ate in the food court at MBS which recently opened in the afternoon and ate at Gluttons Bay at night. My cousin brought for me Wendy's for lunch when I came to the hotel. Yum.Besides, this we went swimming in the infinity pool. Sounds Cool?
Cheng Long rang me up on last Wed to inform me that one of our 4E1 friend's mom had just passed away and asked me whether i wanted to go to the wake. So for the next couple of days, I found myself at someone's else wake for the first time in my life. (Yes, I am such a greenhorn at life) On Thursday afternoon, I metup at Cheng Long's house and we went to the wake in Toa Payoh. I was told by Chenglong that the block of flats where the wake is being held used to be the residence for 2 of our 4E1 classmates. At least I learnt about something new that day.
We were not the only ones to take the time out for our friend in his time in need. We saw some of our 4E1 mates taking time out to attend the wake. We caught up with them over a very simple lunch of fried rice and other stuff like salted vegetable and over peanuts. We spent the the rest of the afternoon folding paper ingots. After a crash course in paper folding by Cheng Long and Kai Siang, I was managing passable efforts in making paper silver ingots that just manage to resemble like ingots and maintain their shape.
At night, only Cheng Long and Binzan and I stayed back for dinner. It was stuff like braised prok buns and curry. There was ceremonies throughout the night and Cheng Long did explain to me their significance as best as he could. We kept ourselves occupied by playing games with his iPad which he already showed me once after school on the bus back home. Nevertheless, it showed me how good were my game playing skills ---- which is simply awful. No matter what game they played, I found myself at the losing end.Nevertheless, it was a great way to keep us entertained.We got back home after witnessing the burning of the paper house ,servents and ingots. It was 11.30pm by the time we got back.
The next day, we were back at the wake in the morning. The rest of the guys were present as well. Kai Siang drove us to Mandai cermatorium. We witnessed the last rites and saw the coffin wheeled out to be cremated. It was a solemn time for the rest of us. After that , it was back at the wake for lunch before we went off.
We hung around together in Citysquare mall. (This was the first time I have been there with friends previusly I have been there with parents). We explored the mall and some of us took the chance to do last minute Christmas shopping for girlfriend visit/ gift exhange/ whatever. We browsed toy stalls, NTUC and Best Denki electronics stall etc (It was fun to peek at 3D TV at the latter.) After that, Kai Siang drove us all back home in his car. It was the end of an eventful 2 days for me.
At Christmas, my family went to Sakura at Shaw house for dinner. I received biscuits and choco pie for Christmas. We definitely ate a lot until I had a bloated tummy, which was easily resolved by chinese rubbing oil and powder for tummy troubles.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Updates
After a long semester, i have now come to the last week of this sem. Then it would be reading week then it would be exams with the LSM3212 exam starting at 20 Nov to the last exam LSM 3261 starting at 30 Nov. Some updates:
This semester, i have been more involved in the Triple Helix, besides writing articles for the triple helix, i have taken other functions such as helping out my editor in chief with production matters, interviewing prospective writers etc. I will be promoted to Managing editor soon. Also , we have just released our Spring 2010 issue (with my Invasive species article in it) and will be releasing a fall 2010 issue soon (I contributed my SUJA for that issue as there was no time to write a new article from stretch). However, our activities are taking a backseat now due to the coming exam and will be continue in this December.
Yesterday, I met up with Joyce and Jun Yun at City Hall yesterday. It was planned to be a class meeting but only me showed any interest in meeting them up. Joyce brought her CHC (incidentally, if you know my sister, you would know that my sis goes there as well) friend along. We had a last minute decision to head to CHIJMES and ate in a Spanish restaurant there. I had grilled chicken in honey mustard sauce with creme catalonia for dessert. The girls did had other appetizers and we chatted over dinner. Apparently, Joyce had decided to give in to the iPhone revolution and brought her own one. We chatted on investing ans stuff like that. By the time we finished, it was 10 pm at night. As we parted at the City Hall NRT station, we did mutally agree that a full class gathering was long overdue =)
Coming up after the exam: Invasive Biology for Dummies.

Holiday Update
OK...this may come quite late.... but more stuff on what I did for the holidays
On the 16th of July, I had the pleasure of attending a talk about Alfred Russel Wallace by the author Paul Spencer Sochaczewski. Wallace was a contemporary of Charles Darwin who travelled in the Amazon and South East Asia. He was quite productive for 8 years in which he collected 125660 specimens including 212 new bird species, 900 new beetle species and 200 new species of ants. Besides that, he was a codiscoverer of evolution by natural selection together with Charles Darwin. The talk examines his journeys through the Amazon and the South East Asia rainforests abd also examined the reasons why Wallace became obscure in the history of science and Darwin has been lionized as one of the greatest biologists in history.(Conspiracy? Later in life Darwin lobbied hard for a pension to be given to Wallace. Was Darwin doing this because he was feeling guilty of plagarizing or because he was just nice? You should make up your mind =))
On the 23rd of July, I went to JB with my sister and her boyfriend. It was my first overseas trip. We hung out at the shopping centre close to the immigration centre for lunch and we went shopping for cheaper goods. We ate at the HK cafe and I had pasta with bacon for lunch. I found it quite fun and would love to go there again soon.

Holiday update Part 1
I haven't updated the blog for a very long time..yucks! Where should I start?
Exam results? BLAHHH!!!
SSS1207 A
LSM2201A B
LSM 2103 F
GE 2220 B-
CM1101 B+
Yupped, you saw it correctly..I did flunked my cell biology. Now it looks like i have to repeat my module next sem =(
Oh yeah The F means my CAP is still stuck at 2.92. No UROPS i guess =(
I asked for a review of my script, so I was going to school to meet Prof Yeung. She showed me my exam script and it was pretty obvious even with a passing grade of 30% for module, she was already quite generous with my marks. Well, she also gave me a lecture on how important grades are. LOL =)
Drats, still pretty gutted about it. It is like England did not qualify for Euro 2008 and thrashed 4-1 by Germany at the World Cup: simply crap results and underperforming
Must spend less time at the computer.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recently, (well in 22-23 may) , I spent 2 afternoons as a volunteer in the Operation No Release. Basically, volunteers were posted all over the central nature reserves, to educate and stop any people releasing any animals for Vesak Day for good karma. It turns out that is an appalling poor idea. The ecological balance to the nature reserves simply get screwed up( like competition with native species). Secondly, 80%- 90% of the animals simply do not survive the release, as most of the released animals are pets who do not know how to look after themselves. ( I guess if my Mom simply walked out of the house today , I will also get screwed as well. For a start, I don't know how to cook). On the 22 May I got posted to the Dairy Farm Nature Park and the day after that to Upper Selatar. On both days though we ( pairs of volunteers will get posted to variuos stations )did not see any animals releasers.However, we watched the NParks officals stop a running group that was intending to run in the forest in which entry was forbidden. We also saw a group of nature photographers in the where we were stationed. They were very happy to explain to us what are they doing and showed us an assassin bug on the tree trunk. Overall, it was a good experience for me and i saw a lot of animals like monitor lizards, long tailed macaques and a very big millipede.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As for the Triple Helix article i was writing, the professor has now revised my article and I have submitted it for a yet final round of revision. Yes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That is all for now =)
See you soon..

Hi guys?
How are you doing?
It is now May and my exams are effectively over.. Yahoo!!!
Yup yup.
Overall, I had a good semester the exams were a blast =)
LSM2103? Yucks!!!..I didn't managed to read finish Alberts et al.. I can't recall anything for the essays questions(per usual since O level Biology) and the MCQs were so confusing as everything looked quite plausible =( Just like the CAs. Let's hope that it does not pull down my CAP a lot...
CM1101? I had consultation with Dr. Tan the day before the exam on Molecular Orbital Theory. On the exam, i still didn't know how to do =( but the rest of the exam was OK =) I hope i can have an A grade for the module.=)
GE2220? It was quite all right as the essay section was 40% of the total marks and my MCQs and calculations was all right. So still can pass =). Prof Terry was a good lecturer and a friendly man =)I had quite a lot of consultations in the office and his advice helped me a lot =) For example, I told him about a paper I was reading for the module and he was interested enough to ask where did i got it from LOL. Too bad that i am not planning to read natural hazards ( which he is teaching)for next sem as I don't need it for Geosciences minor. Hmmmmm, maybe next time?
SSS1207? The exam was open book. It was quite easy but tedious to complete as i always felt I was in danger of not completing it. And i am a Life Sciences major, so woe to the other majors i guess. I brought my textbook and my singapore science centre guidebooks. I finished the exam 5 mins before time. Maybe an A?
It is the holidays now. Probably i will finish the last draft of the TTH article that I am writing after my article has be vetted by the profs=)After that, it will be published =)
I was on the train after my last exam when Cheng Long asked to the movie at 8.30pm...the problem was he called me at 8.20pm and there is no way that i am going go to the theatre on time as he thought that I was at home. Sigh...maybe another day?
Till next time,
Sin Wei

GE2220? It was quite all right as the essay section was 40% of the total marks and my MCQs and calculations was all right. So still can pass =). Prof Terry was a good lecturer and a friendly man =)I had quite a lot of consultations in the office and his advice helped me a lot =) For example, I told him about a paper I was reading for the module and he was interested enough to ask where did i got it from LOL. Too bad that i am not planning to read natural hazards ( which he is teaching)for next sem as I don't need it for Geosciences minor. Hmmmmm, maybe next time?
SSS1207? The exam was open book. It was quite easy but tedious to complete as i always felt I was in danger of not completing it. And i am a Life Sciences major, so woe to the other majors i guess. I brought my textbook and my singapore science centre guidebooks. I finished the exam 5 mins before time. Maybe an A?
It is the holidays now. Probably i will finish the last draft of the TTH article that I am writing after my article has be vetted by the profs=)After that, it will be published =)
I was on the train after my last exam when Cheng Long asked to the movie at 8.30pm...the problem was he called me at 8.20pm and there is no way that i am going go to the theatre on time as he thought that I was at home. Sigh...maybe another day?
Till next time,
Sin Wei
