"booming industries" and "EXCITING opportunites" (with the emphasis on "exciTing") were the two most commonly heard phrases today. Overrated.
except for ONE, the rest of the companies are all pharmaceutical companies, which are NOT AT ALL related to BioEngineering. Furthermore, most of them are young start-up companies and they don't have internship programs. verdict: waste of time. waste of money. (quote from yman- "well, at least we had our free lunch"
take-home-message:
1) BioEngineering does NOT give us an edge because any other engines lik EE or mech can easily compete with us for a position in a biomedical company.
2) BioE is a new course recognised by the tertiary institutions but not by the directors of companies.
3) BioE is STILL not accredited.
4) my current grades are not at all that fantabulous. it'll really reflect badly on my resume.

ytd during my microbes lec, we were watching this video on the Biosphere 2 project, found it rather interesting. it's bout trying to create an airtight artifical closed ecosystem, including a rainforest, an ocean with coral reef, a mangrove, a desert, a grassland etc..with the "climate" controlled.. basically it's creating a small artifical world contained within glass and steel, totally isolated, hoping to create a similar one in outerspace if the experiment was a success. then they had a team of 7 scientists to try and thrive in it for a period of 2 yrs. but yup in the end it was a failure.. gee it's lik living in a bottle o_Q

What's the Latest?
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) surveyed 5,000 students ranging from kindergarten to fifth grade and found that girls who got from 70 to 300 min. of physical education per week scored consistently higher on standardised tests. More exercise also translated into increased classroom participation and concentration skills.
What About Boys?
The study found no correlation between gym class and test scores for boys.

A band on the march
The NUS Wind Symphony marks its 40th year with flag-waving fervour and blaring sound effects

FOR its 40th anniversary celebration, the National University of Singapore Wind Symphony went back to its roots as a marching military band.
Beginning with two marches, Gerry Soliano's patriotic and Sousa-inspired Crescent And Stars and Vaughan Williams' folksong Seventeen On Sunday, the general upbeat tone of the evening was set.
The orchestra, now close to 100 strong, responded with gusto and confidence under budding conductors Ian Lum and Martin Lim respectively, before its music director Leonard Tan took centrestage.
For the 'serious' items requiring more of an interpretation, the young outfit did not disappoint.
Sibelius' Finlandia had more blare than usual in its all-wind guise, and voices otherwise sung by
the strings were lost but its nationalistic, flag-waving fervour came through.
The big work of the programme was Dutch wind band-meister Johan de Meij's Third Symphony, also titled Planet Earth. At 50 minutes, it is overblown to say the least.
A solid five minutes of sound effects - the Big Bang and whizzing planets - began the work, and it meandered from the sound world of Holst's Neptune The Mystic before unfolding like some long-winded Richard Strauss tone poem.
More cliches abound, from the chugging of Adams and Glass' minimalism to the inevitable big melodies from a quasi-John Williams celestial score.
Those more accustomed to Mahler and Bruckner's longeurs might have been bored, but conductor Tan's youthful exuberance kept the ensemble from flagging, ensuring a highly spirited reading that lurched from one climax to another.
The band alumni - now in their 60s - accorded the performance a standing ovation. And rightly so, from its humble beginnings at Bukit Timah campus to the spanking new home at Kent Ridge, the band had indeed come of age.

"more blare than usual"... "unfolding like SOME long-winded poem.."... "cliches.." "inevitable big melodies.." ... something tells me that he's unimpressed,
ANW, despite the lousy review, for those who still owe me tix money, can you guys remember to pay me T.T...
