1 | 2 I'm not so keen on taking pictures myself actually. The following photos were taken by my friends. For various reasons, mainly in rememberance of the occasions, I've decided to upload them to this website. I'm not so sentimental about the past. Nevertheless, it's still good to stop once in a while and look back at the old photos and recall the sweet memories ^_^. I try to arrange them in chronological order if my memory serves me right. The SPSians. The first picture on the left was taken after our SP2172 congress. It was a great relieve after 1 semester of full hardwork for inexperience reserachers like us. But the training we had gone through in that semester provides to be very useful in our subsequent projects. I was just a newbie then. Few semesters down the road I became mentor, and the picture on the right was taken after buffet dinner with fellow mentors and senior SPSians in Marina.
ISCF Camp 2003. This was my first ISCF camp, and also the only one that I could join fully (the subsequent camps I always came late and had to go back early), simply because at that time I wasn't involved much in SPS and FOS yet. I just officially joined ISCF also. The location is Camp Christine, a really remote place somewheer in You Chu Kang area :)
Staff-student Discussion. These 2 pictures were taken by Dicky, I guess, during the staff-student discussion sometime in the middle of my fifth semester. I recall I was contacted last minute, just a few hours before the occasion. So I didin't prepare quite much at that time. I just brought up the issue of how disappointing I was with the department policy to remove some of the interesting physics module from the syllabus. But... well, what else can anyone do, it's either the prof teaching the module wwas retired or there's not enough budget to support having the module (mainly because there were much fewer physics students as compared previously).
Mission Trip 2003. These are the picture taken when I went for a mission trip to Tiangwangkang on December 2003. It's really an eye-opening experience to me.
Thanksgiving Dinner. We were celebrating few occsions here. Firstly was Pras, Arif & JTG's birthdays. Secondly it was also the thanksgiving dinner for the grduated Fynn Park Brothers. It had to be somtime in mid August I believe. I remember just one night before I was in the SPS newbeis orientation camp, which is always in the weekdned of the first week of the semester. All the hosts were wearing yellow, our uniform :)
23rd Birthday. For the first time in my life my birthday was celebrated, so I am sure the date was September 12. 2004... my 23rf birthday. Just like our custom, I was "baptized" by a dead cold water on that night. On the following Sunday, I took picture with my cell-group mate: Pras (left) and Benny (right), blow my birthday candle, and cut my birthday cake. The green silk-like kimono was my brithday gift from my housemates, the Flynn Park Brothers.
EPGY Camp. This was taken on the last day of the 2-week EPGY (Education Program for Gifted Youth) camp, sometime in December 2004. The venue was one of the Chinese High classroom. The camp instructor was Dr. Gary Oas (half-kneeling) from Stanford University, and the topic was Einstein's relativity theory. I was recommended by Dr. Roland Su to become the teaching assistant for the camp... I wish I had done a better job as a TA... I've forgot most of the students' names, in fact... see how a poor TA I was, sighhhhhh.....
Chinese New Year 2004. These 2 pictures were taken in the Chinese New Year eve. It was a rooster year in Chinese calendar, that's why we took picture with the rooster background.
Physics 2004/2005 Farewell Lunch. It was on the May 9, 2005. I remember that because on the same day, the ISCF annual Leadership Camp started. That's why I missed the afternoon session of the camp. Well, this might be the last occasion where all of us gather anyway before our comencement, so how could I miss it?
From left to right: Chee Leong, Hou Shun, Yuan Han, Tommy, Weihui, me, Wei Khim, Meng Lee & Mun Keat. On the back-row in the 2nd picture: Ning Ning, Zhihua, Siew Leng & Chee Seng. Cell Groups. The 2 pictures were taken in separate occasions. The one on the left was taken on June 8, 2005. I remember that because it was the one-day break in between two tiring 2-day NUS High entrance camps. It was the farewell buffet-lunch in Dragon Jade Restaurant, Harbourfront, for Rally (standing, middle) who's going back to Indonesia soon. The one on the right was taken before Pras (sit, middle) went to France for training.
Physics Enrichment Camp 2005. The first 2 pictures were taken on May 30, 2005, that was the first day of the camp, and the last two on June 1, 2005, which was the thrid day of the camp. I was in charge of demonstrating the Michelson interferometer (Michelson-Morley experiment). Besides explaining the theory behind, I showed the experiment also, and let the students played with it... seemed that they enjoyed it.... thanks God. Nitrogen vapour was used to scatter the He-Ne laser, so everyone could see the laser path. It's a cool experiment :)
Bukit Timah Outing. I will never forget this day, it's June 3 2005. I should actually be In NUS Highschool at that time helping Dr. Roland Su for the whole-day NUS High entrance camp briefing. But for a particular reason I couldn't not miss this outing, and since I was the coordinator from the SPS side, I could find an excuse not to attend the briefing in the morning, then I went for outing :)
July 9, 2005: Commencement Day. So I finally graduated!!! Top left: standing are Zhihan, Yvonne, Weihui, Meng Ting, alicia, Choun Pei, sarah, Siew Leng, Mong Chea, Siti, Hou Shun, Zheng Tao, Daniel, Mun Keat; kneeling are Ming Liang, Tan Wei, Tommy, me, Chee Leong & Wei Pang.
