TP-DPA RAWKS!

Bi-Weekly post on DPA Life

2011-07-25T14:28:00.005+08:00

Hey guys :)

Like my friend who posted two weeks ago it is my first time posting here.

My name is Ryan Toh, Year 1, from the Diploma of Accounting And Finance.

As Tevin has said about the outline on what you will get to do during the PPP duration, I will share my experience when I took my CDS.

Transnational Studies (TNS) is a compulsory CDS. For this CDS, you are required to stay at Temasek Green which is a residence area located at the end of the engineering school. You get to stay there with your friends for two weeks. Five person will be allocated a apartment and it is then where you get to bond with your classmates and know them better. During that two weeks will be the most enjoyable thing you will experience during the PPP.

For my elective CDS I took Jap language. You get to learn basic things about japan like how many prefectures are there in Japan and what are the names of their prince and emperor. You will also learn how to speak basic japanese too. The fun part of this CDS would be the final presentation skit where you need to act and speak in japanese. The skit was the most memorable part for me as I a guy acted as a Geisha hahas.

I really enjoyed throughout the duration of the PPP as I made awesome friends then which until now I will meet with them at least once each week to eat dinner.

If you have any other queries you can leave us a message on the Zopim chat box below or you can contact us at tp.dpateam@gmail.com

HELLO PEEPS!

2011-07-11T20:46:00.005+08:00

Hello Everyone who's reading this!

As you can see, this blog had not have a proper post in a while.. But I can assure you this would change, starting from today.

Firstly, since this is my first post here, let me start by introducing myself!

My name is Tevin Chew, currently year 1 in Diploma of Accounting And Finance.

And of course, I DPA-ed into this course while studying for my O's last year!

Well to start of, I would just like to clarify with everyone that the process of DPA is not as difficult as it may seem. Personally, I was rather shocked when I realized I was accepted in as a DPA student as I always had the impression that DPA had a low acceptance rate and only 1 out of the many hundreds would be accepted. However, after being accepted, I was proven wrong! So for all of you who currently have such impression, let it go and be confident, you might be surprised what your outcome might be. Just remember, the three qualities of a DPA student is having the 'Drive', 'Passion' and the 'Attitude'.

If you are still not aware, all DPA students would have to go through an 8 week Polytechnic-Preparatory-Programme, PPP for short. Throughout this programme, I can assure you that you'll get to know many other DPA students from other courses and forge priceless friendships way before the actual school term starts. Besides, during the PPP, you'll also get a chance to complete 2 Cross-Disiplinary Subjects (CDS). This would give you a big advantage over other students since you'll be able to free up time even before school starts!

For more information regarding the PPP visit :http://www.tp.edu.sg/home/admissions/adm_exercise/dpa/dpa_ppp.htm

I really had a great time with my friends throughout this 8 weeks and I hope that you'd too! So what are you waiting for? Hurry before application closes this Wednesday. If you have any queries, you can leave a message on the Zopim chat box below or you could contact us at tp.dpateam@gmail.com

2010-06-01T20:06:00.003+08:00

Time flies, doesn't it?

Previous post was merely talking about the last day of the PPP, and right now we're in the midst of the Term Tests here in TP.

This means that the application for DPA 2011 is going to be open soon! If you're one of the O level students who's planning to apply, here's the information you'd need...

For those keen to apply, here's the link to the DPA Portal: http://www.polytechnic.edu.sg/dpa. Application will open on 8 July 2010, and will be done online via the DPA Portal.

The portal's pretty self-explanatory, and there are instructions to how you can go about applying, so you can refer to them.

In case any one of you is still looking into DPA, or don't know what is DPA, here's the official TP FAQ page for DPA: http://www.tp.edu.sg/home/admissions/adm_exercise/dpa.htm

Of course, if you've any questions, do feel free to drop a tag at the tagboard and one of us would be here to help. Alternatively, you can drop us an email at tp.dpateam@gmail.com for longer questions.

For now, Happy Holidays, and study hard for the Os!

PPP Closing Ceremony and beyond..

2010-04-09T03:53:00.013+08:00

April 1st marked the end of the Polytechnic Preparatory Programme (PPP) for the 2010 batch of DPA students, as the 8-week programme drew to a close. Within the span of 8 weeks, 136 DPA students went through Cross-Disciplinary Subjects as well as School-related coursework, giving them the feel of a polytechnic education before starting the school term in Mid-April.

The Closing ceremony held on the 1st of April was one that was short and sweet, but one which brought back memories of the past 8 weeks. Throughout the short period of time, the friendships that formed and the experiences that were shared were priceless, and this simple ceremony summed up the emotions for everyone and gave everyone the time to remember the good times.

For a bit of fun, the lecturers that have guided the students through their studies during the PPP have identified a few within the many for their different outstanding characteristics. Awards like "Mr Master Chef" and "Little Miss Chatterbox" were among the many that were given out.

April 1st also saw a joyous occasion for one particular group as a fellow DPA mate celebrated her birthday on the previous day. Seen here are the group presenting the birthday card and presents.

The seniors also planned a special one day event that coincided with the closing ceremony, as a form of recreation for the juniors (especially after being through the academic demands of polytechnic life), as well as a time for everyone, senior and junior, to bond as a DPA community.

Games were planned, which saw teams split up to compete amongst each other, but more importantly to work closely as a team.

Though no official statistics were taken, it was definitely sure that bonding did happen, if you get what I mean... *winks*

The "Amazing Race"-style games led them all around the east side of the island, uncovering the region for those unfamiliar to the area and challenging residents of these areas on their knowledge of the places, to find the stations.

At the end of the day, students converged at the end point, which as a surprise turned out to be a chalet, with BBQ provided. This turned out to be a turning point as the events do continue on till night. Students really had the chance to unwind and relax after all the studying required during the PPP.

This event was really a new one, for both the planners as well as participants. For the participants, it marked the end of the PPP as well as a prelude to the new beginnings that polytechnic life would entail. As time passes by, one would definitely remember the times back in DPA where everyone shared the same project blues, and suffered the cruel examinations together. It is also a time where DPA students explore their new surroundings together and really start to discover their school.

Meanwhile, the Academic Experiences give students a headstart in knowing what is to be expected by lecturers once term starts. PPP is a time where one would really start to know more about one's new surroundings and oneself, in these new surroundings.

Though the DPA PPP for the 2010 batch is officially over, many out there are still reliving the times during PPP, and it is sure that many would continue to remember them for many years to come.

And with that, the Polytechnic Preparatory Programme (PPP) for the DPA batch of 2010 draws to a close, as everyone gets ready for term to start soon.

DPA Event 2010!

2010-03-24T23:06:00.002+08:00

I hope everyone has had a great PPP so far. As the PPP is drawing to a close, we have organised an event for all of you.

Here are the details as follows:

Date: 1st April 2010

Time: Event will commence exactly after the Closing Ceremony

Cost: $8 for event + $12 for DPA T-shirt

For the main bulk of those who have paid, this does not concern you, but for those who have not paid yet, we would like to collect the money from you on the day itself.

I am sure everyone has many enquiries, and many people have already asked about the details. Thus, we have decided to reveal that the $8 paid will include a chalet.

This Chalet was meant to be a surprise for all of you, but due to the many questions received about the ending time, we feel it would be fair to reveal this chalet to you. We still guarantee that this event will be a blast!

Thus, you may leave at any time that you want to after the event, but dinner will be provided as well so you are encouraged to stay on for the chalet.

Lastly, if there are other enquiries, you may post them on the tagboard at the side and we will try to answer them at the earliest possible moment.

We Come With Hype 2010!

2010-02-13T01:51:00.003+08:00

Helloooooooo new persons! :D

Hi everyone! I know that some of you have been requesting for the photos taken during the PPP Closing, so I have uploaded all those photos into an image hosting site which allows you to download the full picture resolution.

Click on the picture above and it will bring you to the gallery!

With regards,

Note:
If some of you are looking for the pictures taken during the Unique prize presentation of the Mr & Mrs ___, my apologies that I do not have most of them because the lecturers were taking those photos. Nonetheless, I will upload those which I have in a few days' time.

Also, if you're not able to find the photos which you are looking for in the gallery, it means that I do not have the photos. Putting it in a simpler way, I was not the one who took the photos. However, I can help you to put through your request to have those photos uploaded.

Added Component: Digsby Widget beta (http://www.digsby.com/)

- Digsby is a multi functional system which has a wide range of capabilities.

- Extending capabilities to bots, to serve all questions asked only with regards to DPA.

More Features: *coming soon

- Updates you on the latest informations!

With this 2 NEW components, we are testing further to see which is more suitable in time to come. So please bear with us for the time being. Also, at the moment, our service can't be provided 24/7 as it has yet to be run on auto bots. Therefore, please be patient with this new system!

It might even greet you, if you happen to be on our blog and our system happens to be online!

Thank you. We hope you enjoy the current 2 new components added.

http://lms.tp.edu.sg

Username: Your admin number. (eg. 0900001A)

Password: Look at your Matric card, you should see a barcode there. Beside the barcode you should see something like this, "B100123". Just add a "T" in front of it. (eg. TB100123)

* It should all be capitalised. Case sensitive.

Welcome ALL DPAs 2009!

2009-01-09T22:33:00.004+08:00

WELCOME ALL DPAs of 2009!

I appreciate and thank all who made that little effort to come down on the 8th January 2009, for Openhouse at the same time, a brief introduction to DPA!

If you guys are wondering, we have a total number of 134 DPAs this year, however, on a side note, to all new DPAs, as mentioned, your 'O' Level results do still matters. For those who missed on what happened on the DPA first meet, they had a tour around TP and more importantly, what is to happen after getting your 'O' Level results!

I know it's very exciting because it's 2 more days before the release of 'O' Level results and you are worried if your place in DPA will still remain. Don't worry guys! I believe you guys can make it! All the best!

I hope everyone of you who came that day enjoyed yourself as much as we did with you guys! You guys were great! I hope to see you guys real soon which is on the 6th Feb 2009, the OFFICIAL DPA meeting where you will get your Matriculation Cards and know your tutorial classess etc.

Have fun guys! All the best for 'O' Level results! Enjoy!

Cheers

Love from Ken & Cher!

Hi all DPA mates!

There has been a change of date and venue for the DPA outing as mentioned in today's meeting.

Original Venue: Sentosa
Original Itinerary: Sentosa Packaged Tour
Original Date: 2 September 2008

However, we've changed the venue as it is too expensive to take up the packaged tour in Sentosa, and if we were to take up different attractions in Sentosa, it will add up to about the same cost ($33.90 per pax) unless we take up only one attraction and it probably cannot last us for one whole day together.

Also, the change of date is to accomodate everyone's holiday. As many of you guys know, Design School students have different holidays from other schools, so we've changed to a date when everyone is having holidays.

New venue: Pasir Ris Park
New Itinerary: BBQ & Get Together Session
New Date: 23 September 2008

This is easier and better as we can get food catered easily, and it is not as expensive as the Sentosa trip. Then we can do many different things there at DownTown East (E.G. watch movie, cycle, throw pple into the water etc etc etc). :D

This is just for-your-info. :D

***************************************************

This piece of info is regarding next meeting. :D

The next meeting will be held on 02 September 2008, venue will be reconfirmed.

Please take note that only people from MAIN COMM needs to turn up for the meeting on 02 September 2008. The purpose of this meeting is to decide the itinerary for DPA meeting, logistics and financial confirmations etc etc etc, and then info will be passed down to sub comm. :D

Ok that's about it! :D

See you around in School! :D

Oh yes, and good luck for the coming exams DPA people! :D

Love, Yizhen - Meiyan - Joey - Zhihua - Kin Leong (:

DPA Special Part 1 & 2

2008-07-12T22:50:00.006+08:00

DPA Special Part 1

Article @ TP4ME

Hello everyone!!!

As part of our special DPA features, we're bringing to you two very very special people in the pioneer batch of our DPA students in TP! Wondering if you should sign up for DPA? Read on to find out how this student, Kenneth Ham decided to take up the challenge and be amongst the first in Singapore to be involved in DPA.

Kenneth was a Sec 5 student from Dunman Secondary School and since he was a young boy, he had this passion for computer hardware and software. Armed with a curious mind, he explored on his own and even learnt web-programming all by himself! WOW!!!! *I can never do this on my own... :(*

Back in secondary school, Kenneth didn't excel and even scored an aggregate of 38 points for his mid-year examination. *yikes* But that did not dissuade him from applying for the DPA as he wanted to pursue his dreams to be in the IT line.

Armed with confidence and his burning passion for IT, he applied and was shortlisted for an interview. He shared that the interviewers were impressed with him and even encouraged him to work hard for his 'O' levels. And lo and behold, with sheer determination and encouragement from the rest, he scored 14 points! Way above his expectations.

Now, he is actively serving as the Vice-Chairman of the TP DPA Interest Group and a member of the Toastmaster's club. Being an all-rounder, he is even the President of TP's Judo Club! Amazing!!

Kenneth aspires to be like Bill Gates and I hope he achieves his dreams.

Till then, look out here for the second special person that I want to introduce to all of you! Stay tuned! :)

DPA Special Part 2

Article @ TP4ME

OOOO so I gather that all of you are dying to find out what DPA special 2 is all about. Well, after reading Kenneth's story, I believe some of you must be wanting to find out if you have a good aggregate, should I even apply for DPA.

Presenting, Lim Yuan Jie who scored grades good enough to enter the top JCs in Singapore, has no regrets coming to TP to pursue his Diploma in Information Technology through DPA.

Yuan Jie's passion for IT started back when he was in primary school, competing and winning in many IT-related competitions. He then went on to North Vista Secondary School and there, his academic achievements mirrored his competiton achievements.

With a burning passion for all things IT, he decided to apply for DPA based on the many factors that he had carefully thought through. He had wanted to take advantage of the advance standing in his future admissions for university education and of course the more practical way of learning.

Yuan Jie has a passion for helping people too. He is a member of the TP Mentoring group, to teach some primary school children who are not strong in certain subjects.

So what are all of you waiting for? If you know your passion and would really want to pursue your dreams, sign up for DPA today!

HELLO ALL DPA FRIENDS!!!

This is an urgent post and I need immediate replies for those who can make it and are interested.

Like can make it and interested in what right?
Here you go:

There are 3 different schools on the list for DPA TALKS:

8 July, Tues. BEDOK. 12.30pm to 1.30pm (Students must reach HSS Office 30mins earlier.)

8 July, Tues. TAMPINES. 2.30pm to 3.30pm (Students must reach HSS Office 30mins earlier.)

9 July, Weds. MANJUSRI. 4pm to 5pm (Students must reach HSS Office 30mins earlier.)

I need at least 2 people (Maximum of 4) for each slot.
All you have to do is:

Get paired up
One pair can talk abt experiences during DPA PPP (e.g. business exposure program, making friends etc)
The other pair can talk abt studies, CDS (talk about CDS selection at that time), how it helps etc
Each PAIR (not per person) is supposed to use up only 5mins
Interact with the students TOGETHER, not by taking turns

Easy right?

So all you have to do now, is to check your timetable, see if the slots can tally with your timetable.

Please be reminded that LOA WILL NOT be given if you were to go for the DPA talks and skip lessons.

Now that you have checked your timetable, if you CAN make it and WANTS to go for it, please call:

Yizhen : 98855510(hp)

All calls are to be made by 11pm, Sunday, 6 July. If you die die die die die wants to go and forgot for some reason to tell me by that date, pls die die die die die tell me by 10am on Monday, 7 July.

As you can see, the first talk is on Tues, 8 July. So I really really need your help to pass words around and gather as many people as possible.

The talks will be a fun experience, and it will not be difficult at all, so don't worry.

Do remember to pass words around as I really really need people to go for these talks.

Please go and have a try if your timetable can match the slots.

THANK YOU!!!

Love,

Outreach department,

Yizhen & Meiyan.

DPA Interest Group

2008-06-04T19:37:00.003+08:00

Hey DPAians!
I guess for some, it's a term break for you guys, while some like me do still have exams going on. Well, all the best to those who do have exams still.

Next is, can everyone pass on this message, there will be a DPA Meeting on the 18th June 2008 (Wednesday), at about 10am to noon. Can we all get all DPAs down for this meeting? Do pass to all. I do hope to see all 71 DPAs down at the meeting, ok? haha... well anyway, for those who can't make it, still do let me know.

Agenda for the meeting is for HSS Lecturers to catch up with us, DPAs, and to give us our DPA certificate (it's another certificate), etc...

Besides that, the main committee will then have another DPA meeting on further discussion to help DPA next batch. Can you guys help me out with this? Whoever WANTS to go back to secondary schools to speak (*may not be your secondary school, but some other schools as well), and who are enthusiastic to help out for DPA Interest Group, can you send me an email to tell me that you are interested to help in what area.

If you guys do have other ideas, please feel free to share by emailing me or Hong Cherh.

I have to compile your names to send it to HSS lecturers side for validation/compilation. OK? Thanks so much for helping and giving your all to DPA. DPA RAWKS!

cheers & love
kenneth

DPA Photo Shoot 2008

2008-05-27T21:42:00.002+08:00

Dear all, I understand that some of us are quite and are very busy like me. Yeah, I am actually quite busy with current competitions representing TP in National level, as well as overseas competitions and projects with HSS etc. And we are drained to the core or so, maybe that makes us different from other normal students because we are... DPA! ya, DPA means that we are different, distinctive, and ya another D la.... haha. ya whatever it is, means we are good, special can already. haha.

We are all busy with our many workloads and sometimes forget the things around us. Well, for those who didn't know, there is a photo shoot for DPA tomorrow, so if you guys not involved, don't worry, there are other opportunities like speaking at your secondary school, etc. There are more opportunities like organizing TP DPA 09/10 camp, guiding your new DPA freshies etc.

Elections just started today, so please all vote for Tat Yi, Claudine (SP), Zain, Farah, and all the GLs you know. Let's find one day to meet up and really enjoy ourselves from all the stress we are in now okay? Let's show our support to them yeah! haha.

alrite then! will see you guys soon, DPA RAWKS mann! As long as we are one united, HSS will try to bring DPA as one through many activities. Believe some of you already know that, so benefit to those who doesn't know, yeah now you know haha.

cheers & love
kenneth

feelings for dpa

2008-05-27T16:40:00.003+08:00

hey guys.

finally, after saying I would for a really long time, I have come back to blog for DPA. It's been a few weeks since school started already and i must say we are still as consistent as ever... some of us at least. for the rest of us clashing timetables are still a constant nag and we don't get to meet up as much as we would like to. Still, there is always a reason to meet up - we love each other.

this is not gonna be an 'emo' post. gonna try not to make it one anyway.

Some of us can't cope with studies now and are lagging behind. i know I am, and i wonder why. How is it that some of us have been through two cds and yet can't cope now? must be because we were only exposed to two subjects then and it was less stressful. i think i got used to the way things worked then and thought that it would onloy get easier, not harder. after all many were giving us the impression that the amount of time we spent one day in school was equivalent to the timing they spent in school in an entire week. who was the idiot who suggested that? I want to stuff eggs into his nose.

unless he is from DPA, of course.

I find myself coming to school for the wrong things sometimes... I live through the day wondering when I will run into you guys and when I will be going to the pool. If i see you guys it brightens up my day.

but let's not let this get personal (haha sorry kenneth)

see, a bunch of us still try to get together. we meet in judo, in swimming, at sentosa and along corridors. I miss the times when we all could see each other everyday for long periods of time. haha, attached much?

let us keep in touch always, DPA... let us always find ways to keep this love alive. it survives and thrives on its own though.

for some reason you guys are the first people i think of when i run into difficulties. you guys have ways to make me smile and i thank you guys for that.

so cheers to this bunch of soothing, loving, people. see you guys whenever, wherever and for whatever reason.

love, meiyan

Last call on thurs outing.

2008-04-28T21:52:00.006+08:00

Everything's settled now.
We had decided to go Pasir Ris Park this thurs' morning!
I'm sorry if we cant get what everyone wants.
And me, myself and i wanted Seoul Garden so badly too.
But gg to a park is definately the easiest way to have fun in such a BIG group.
So yea, why not just sth simple and easy? (:
Details are here yo!
Btw, i just realised Funny Games is not funny at all. HAHAHA.
It's a horror movie
My 4 years sec sch bestfriends lied to me -.-

DPA Outing
Thurs, 10am @ Pasir Ris Park.
Things to bring: Frisbee, volleyball, bicycles etc. (Pls bring if you have one of these things!)
And sms CHERYL NEO to confirm that you are gg or not. (*impt ahhhh!)
Get my no. from those that have it of cos. (If you dont have it. How could you?! :( )

Love you guys!
See you on thurs then!
I'll pray hard that it wont rain (:

With Loves
Cher

A song for our journey

2008-04-20T11:03:00.002+08:00

Warm salutations to my DPA loves! Here is a song I dedicate to all of you:

We were strangers, starting out on a journey
Never dreaming, what we'd have to go through
Now here we are, I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you

No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected, what you did to my heart
When I lost hope, you were there to remind me
This is the start

And life is a road that I wanna keep on going
Love is a river, I wanna keep on flowing
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
We were strangers on a crazy adventure
Never dreaming, how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand, unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you

And life is a road that I wanna keep on going
Love is a river, I wanna keep on flowing
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

Knew there was somebody, somewhere
A new love in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothings gonna tear us apart

And life is a road that I wanna keep on going
Love is a river, I wanna keep on flowing
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
Life is a road that I wanna keep going on
Love is a river, I wanna keep on going
Starting out on a journey
Life is a road that I wanna keep on going
Love is a river, I wanna keep on flowing

In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning... With you

We are like leaves from Autumn, Spring, Summer and Winter. We occur at different times, we take to different things and we live for different periods. But we belong to the same tree. May we always stick to the trunk. ha ha.

love from Me,iyan

DPA Forever

2008-04-19T22:06:00.003+08:00

Hey, I know it sounds abit sad, or maybe very saddening but I think it really proves our relationship for one another.

I know most of us cried while watching the video cheryl had done for us. I think it was very very very sweet of her. She spent almost a day doing that. To me, or to any IT person, doing video compiling might seem as the easier thing to do, but look at this, I don't care how easy it can get now, it just reflects how much effort our dear cheryl has put in, how much effort and time she has given to do the video for us. I thank her for that, for her efforts and everything. I did had tears in my eyes while watching the video, because it reminds us of the good wonderful memories we had at HSS block 8 Level 6. ILZ, and all. DPA really made an impact to our lives, maybe changed some of our lives, but ultimately, it comes to a good end. That we love one another whatever the circumstances.

Let us cherish what we have now, and rejoice over what we have. Let us not cry over the past, but rejoice for the present and the future. DPA-PPP period might be history, but we can still be happy for the future. This is something not many can experience, it is not something one can buy with money. OUR TRUE FRIENDSHIP, OUR LOVE, OUR JOY, OUR HAPPINESS, OUR LAUGHTER, OUR FUN, cannot be bought and ultimately if we really reflect, we should be happy because all this cannot be earned by any one else. Not even the seniors.

Think about it, how long have the freshies bond? They got 3days, while we got 3months. We instead should be happy that we had this chance to enjoy this moment. It might seem over, but the fact is, some others might not experience something like this in their life. We should be happy that we get to experience this wonderful moment. The wonderful memories that we had for the past 3months. The thick and thin we went through, followed by the fun and joy we had. So let us all cheer up okay?

Let us not leave in regret. Let us not regret what we did, but instead regret over what we did not do. Let's not regret the past, instead lets live the future.

With love,
kenneth

Week Zero. JAM AND HOP!

2008-04-19T09:59:00.006+08:00

hey everyone, I am back. It's really been a wonderful time during our week zero orientation camp isn't it? Well, for me, I should say I am both happy and sad. Having to go for WorldSkills Qualifying round on Thursday and Worldskills grahpics training yesterday for awhile excused us from orientation. BUT we did not manage to go for orientation, and personally I rather go for my Worldskills competition. haha. alrite, I think all of us feel excited when school starts as well as disappointed that school is starting becasue we can hardly meet up.

Anyway, three cheers for BUSINESS, they got champion for TP's interschool games or whatever they call it. Way to go BUSINESS. Other schools, we did our best also, so don't be disappointed. haha ok, so some of us DPA did enjoy ourselves at Jam and Hop on FRI. It's really hot there, not because of the band and stuffs, but because of humidity. Everyone of us went real crazy, so guess we all had a enjoyable time yesterday. Cheryl, no matter what, don't feel so sad ok, don't cry. We will always be here, so DPA whatever the circumstances will be one big family. However hard we must meet up okay, so we won't be separated because of the different schools, we will still meet up. I really miss you guys, and I love you all! DPA isn't my regret, but my regret is on the first day, why didn't I make more friends and bond closer, that way, we will be closer by now, even though we are close already. My regret is also not having time to meet up MORE with you all. Let's make time for one another, and let us not leave any regrets at the end of our 3years. I should say, DPA in TP was my best choice. It really holds many significance to my life, many wonderful BEST FRIENDS I ever had, which three months became stronger than my 5years with my friends in SEC SCHOOL.

Next, most of us will be joining TPSU Subcomm, and lets make this goal that we will be on stage like Tat yi in year 2 to cry on stage. Not because it is something to show off about, but to show that our bond is so strong that we feel for TP and our fellow friends of DPA and TPSU alrite? Whoever wants to join TPSU, email our DPA email then we go together to sign up. As DPA, I believe that everyone of us holds certain qualities of a leader, so lets work hard towards our goals and TOP the SCHOOL ok?

GO Temasek GO! I believe, I embrace you.
GO Temasek GO! I rejoice, I adore you.
Students work in harmony, working for their dreams and goals.
Wonderful society. TEMASEK! WAY TO GO!

GO DPA GO! I believe, I embrace you.
GO DPA GO! I rejoice, I ADORE you.
DPA work in harmony, working for our dreams and goals.
Wonderful society. DPA...! WAY TO GO!

okay. anyway, this was one thing my Course Manager taught me. I want to share this with you all. LETS work TOWARDS our goals. DPA, for us to top our school, our course. We must MUST get our lecture notes way beforehand. When I say WAY BEFOREHAND, doesn't mean one day before your lecture. It means a week or two before your lecture. Study them FIRST, then on the day of our lecture. WE aren't there to learn what we already know, instead we are there to know what we don't know. Also to say, since we have our lecture notes beforehand, during lectures, we are there to CLARIFY our DOUBTS, our questions. so like that we DPA are always ONE STEP faster then our classmates. Of course, we must help our classmates too, so we can also learn from there. Alrite? DPA ROCKS STILL!

JOIN JUDO TP! those wan to join TP JUDO, email DPA ACCOUNT.

Cya all in school.

cheers. kenneth

Week Zero. Please don't leave...

2008-04-17T22:24:00.003+08:00

Hey people, I think week zero is really exciting for most of us right? I believe all of us are having lots of fun, mixing with new friends, knowing our CP and our classmates right? Of course, DPA students should have met our board of directors from different schools respectively. So, yeah!

DES camp is like very very long, 4days camp. Not sure if it's overnight. ASC and HSS started the same time with DES. DES camp is really happening mann! Then IIT and ENG started just yesterday. BUS started TODAY! okay well, I know we all already have seen our timetable. I sympathize with DES, seriously from my heart, really sad to say that you guys have a really pack schedule. I know your timings are really hectic, but do bear with that people...

Since DPA we so united, we will cheer on for you guys! Don't give up alrite, do whatever it takes to finish your projects and stuffs. Please enjoy your course okay! Try to manage your time properly and well. Do RELAX when you can, don't put too much stress on yourself. Anything can give any DPA friends a call. ALL OF US DPA will always be standing here for you guys, and not only for DES but for all of us as DPA. Seriously, if you all need help in anything, even of a different course people, as much as I, as much as DPA can help, we will always ALWAYS be here and there for you always.

As best friends, good friends, whatever it may be, we will stand by each other for the next three years shall we? Timetable out, many have different timings, and that makes it harder to meet. If we want to meet right, we find 1 day when we all end early, or no school, or anything it can be, we meet. Then, morning, let's all try to meet at mushroom. I know our timings are different but lets make it a point to meet up. I don't mind waiting for you all, just as much as I missed each and everyone of you and some others too. I think seriously speaking, I really can't bear to leave you guys, even for lunch just to meet up I wouldn't mind. DPA really leaves me a memory that really, I cannot forget.

Why don't we organise our own outing, then that crazy empire outing. Crazy man! 1empire already 100plus people. Imagine on saturday, WHOLE FOWC going, imagine la, how many people. Sia la, like going mini war sia, almost 800people plus plus would be there. I think sure havoc. Theresa, I know you want to plan for DPA right? So we can also see how can we meet up alrite? I really miss you guys, and some much more. Love you all! I know, it doesn't sounds like me right? ya la, of course la, you all either see me crazy, talk too much jokes or laughing and stuffs. But this kind of things, i thing you all should know rite, HC, Cher you guys. You all should know, I feel like crying as I post this blog right now. Seriously got tears coming down already. haha okok, but ya DPA has been the best of my life, and I never regret anything.

cheers to all! Love you all!

Okay, i shall not write such a long and emo essay cos i know you guys will read till you fall aslp.
So short and simple then :)

I started out with you guys for only like 3mths.
But we had been quite close up till now like meeting up for dinner, parties and stuff like this.
This is cool. Serious.
And i think some of us are getting quite close with each other rather than their sec sch friends.
HAHAHA. To me, at first. I dont really like to be in DPA.
And in the beginning i hate to go sch.
Cos i felt damn left out and such. My sec sch friends are not with me.
But after a few weeks, i really think you guys just rock.
And smart asses huh. Haha.

I shall not talk abt us so much. Cos you guys know how i feel right.
Everyone of us actu went through it.
Just remb that we will stay as one DPA group.
The first and best batch of DPA students.
And i'm on for organising a camp for the next batch of DPA students! Haha.

Love you guys.
Dont forget abt me ahhhhh! My crazy laughters!
See you ard in sch! :)

With loves,
Cher.

A new beginning

2008-04-16T09:57:00.004+08:00

"near the end, we start thinking about the beginning."

On the contrary, I think we think about a previous end when we are reaching a new beginning. IT school is having their orientation today and business will be having theirs tomorrow. School is starting officially. And our direct poly admission exercise ended almost a month ago on the 20th of march.

But it is not the end.

It is something about the way we spent three months together in the same shoes that really binds us together. Not only that, how often do you meet people you can trust so easily after being put through countless tests ie. high elements? It was heartwarming watching us all in the first four days of the poly preparatory programme. I for one, trust people like Mark and leonard now. mark pulled me over the wall and Leonard belayed me, much to my shock. ha ha.

That was the fun. then we settled down to seriousness together. Soon we became so bonded and we met everyday. We may be a small group in comparison to one empire at the foc, but in terms of life and spirit, we come out tops. the DPA group is definitely larger than life. We are all bonded in different ways. public speaking, psychology class, japanese class, trebouchet groups, business, it, Applied Science engineering, design,HSS. We all have different courses and reasons in common with one another but there is one thing that binds us all as one. What is that?

We were each other's first friends in TP. And we are the DPA students.

I see why now Kyle didn't take us into one single group. We would have pwned everyone. nah just kidding. The thing is, we've known each other for months. And we have been through so much more. We wouldnt have needed to wait till the third day to get high and we wouldn't have had those first awkward moments. We'd be a small group all right. But things work better in small groups. Still, we had a reunion. And for many of us, we signed up with foc because many dpa students were going. Personally I didn't like the mingling thing but it was lovely the way dpa reunited for jam and hop. Personally I have never gotten so happy and high with anyone before. It made my night, really. We were all sweating like pigs but who cares? we were having too much fun to stop. Maybe we should have mixed. But we don't know when we will see each other again. We love each other. There is no staying away.

omg mushy. Am i really me.

Oh well DPA pwns! And as we near the beginning of a new school life with new people, we look forward to seeing people with things in common with us. but each and everyone of us will still have something in common with each other, and forever. We will never forget what we've all been through. And let us make it a deal to always say "hello! Distrubing personalities around!" and give each other a hug when we meet along hallways. he who does not will get struck by lightning when walking along that useless connection between business and design that has a one-of-a-kind shelter, the kind you can still get wet despite walking under it. i have not even officially started school and I am complaining about tp's facilities! reminds me of one of our psychology of creativity classes.

Till we meet again, at our never ending beginning!
DPA! eh eh eh eh ah.... DPA!

Week Zero, Vote for DPA Camp 2009!

2008-04-15T18:18:00.010+08:00

Week zero is approaching. All DPA students, guess we really miss each other lots man! Haven't been together for a long time, other than at FOC. It's really been long all DPA gather for gossips, fun, laughter and activities together.

Well, of course, as all says, DPA is the most united of all. DPA one united. I have got some updates for you guys. Are you all for DPA CAMP next year, for new batch of DPA? Please vote. DPA OLs will be included.

Hey all, if you all feel like voting for "no" because of some reasons, just do it. Nobody knows who votes what. Follow your heart and vote, nobody is forcing you to choose what. But DPA students please vote. Don't be bothered that it is 100% rating and would be awkward to see 1% saying "no" or something like that. Nobody will blame you for anything. Just be honest and truthful, which I can guarantee all of DPA will go for YES, so why am I talking so much?? haha.

We hope that all will enjoy everything. Don't worry all, we will arrange our own meetings, activities. DPA will always be one united, so yeah! School Orientation has also started already for DES, HSS, ASC. Tomorrow will be more schools like, IIT, ENG. Let's all enjoy our Orientation. So that's all for now. See you all again!

Cheers. kenneth

DPA 2008

2008-04-14T14:27:00.007+08:00

Hey everyone! DPA is the very first admission for all Polys. So as the first batch of DPA Students, we would like to share our experience, and welcome all to our BLOG! You guys might also wonder, why our blog post will end with "De Perfect Answer...". well, I think DPA students you all should know right? It means, DPA(De Perfect Answer). POWERFULL RIGHT! so don't mess with DPA! haha

TP DPA RAWKS!!!
Welcome all freshmen of AY 08/09 into TP! Enjoy TP!!!

What is DPA?
DPA is Direct Polytechnic Admission. Having to choose our school and course of study before our 'O' Level results gives us an advantage over others. DPA Students entered into TP through our talents and interest rather than by our 'O' Level results. DPA Students will spend 3months in TP ahead of freshmen, which gives us an advantage to be familiar with TP and the surrodnings, as well as getting to know our lecturers.

What makes us different from the other freshmen?
As DPA students, we have already completed 2CDS during our 3months in TP. However for IIT and HSS, we have already finished our 3CDS. and our last CDS spent us 9days. haha 3months has also indeed bring us closer to one another. Besides, we started school since January and have familiarise ourselves with TP, make new friends, know our lecturers and being the first batch of DPA students is an honour.

Next up, we as DPA Students, no longer freshmen, would like to welcome all into our blog. We would share our experiences as a DPA student with all of you, and will post lots and lots of events, activites down here!

To all freshmen, we hope that you have enjoyed your FOW and FOC 2008, and as much as we enjoyed it, we hope that you have made lots of friends here in TP. FOW & FOC should give you a clear idea of what TP is about and also to orientate you around the school as well. TP is ONE BIG FAMILY!

It really is saddening to leave DPA friends which I MUST HANGOUT WITH. It really makes me tear when I see us being seperated, and seeing Glenn, maybelin they all cry. It is just like the bond is so strong to be breakable. I love DPA always, and DPA OLs. For freshies, you might not understand this, when time to come, hope you will understand it.

cheers, kenneth
