Being a Global Citizen



38 students set off to Cambodia from 29 Mar to 5 Apr. Some went as part of their Cross Disciplinary Subject called Global Citizenship. Others went for Overseas Community Project, doing their part for the Cambodian students.



No matter how tough the life may be, the Cambodians always smile from their hearts and welcome you dearly.


Not only new friendships were built, the IMI students found they grew closer to one another and got the opportunity to know the freshmen, juniors and seniors.

Practising hard for their cultrual night performance. Watch it here!!!
Tis the season for deadlines...

Arggghh.... deadlines for students, markings for lecturers...

While i see a lot of comments/ enquiries on the course itself, I think i would put up some students' work so that we can drool at their masterpieces. Our regular bloggers also showcased their work in the very first few posts. Do check it out.

Module: Introduction to 3D (Year 2, semester 1)

We went TEKONG!!!
While the folks are enjoying themselves in Penang, we at IIT also went "overseas" to Pulau Tekong. Ms Cherry and I were super excited for obvious reasons...
Stress Management Talk
While all of the students are super burnt out, Mdm Faridah, our IT school counsellor gave a talk on how to beat the stress... literally ... wham... boom... punch...

But overall the caving experience was fun. We actually got to see a lot of nice looking rocks in the shape of many many different things, like hands, statues of goddesses and stuff like that. It was truly a great experience and nice NS training. The cave was super dark, and rocks were everywhere.
Heard that the cave was a little haunted cos many people lost their souls (soles) inside. Haha. There was this part where we had to slide down this 15m rock. It was really fun, almost like sliding down a playground slide only with the danger of breaking your leg of not done properly.

Yoz... Ray's here... A little introduction of myself, my name is Raymond Gu, now a 3rd year student and also a classmate of Alastair and Alvin... I'm actually much older than the usual age of an average polytechnic student... Graduated from ITE Tampines and went through National Service... So have fun guessing my age bahz... Yup...


So just wanna share abit about our recent 8 days oversea educational trip to Nihon a.k.a. Japan, Tokyo... This trip was organised by our lecturers Miss Cherry and Nami Sensei and it's mainly about visiting companies like Robot Communications Inc, Non-Grid, Kayac, Polygon Pictures Inc and design schools like Digital Hollywood University, Yoyogi Animations School... I must it is really inspiring to meet face to face with those professionals from 3D industry and design industry... It really requires a lot of efforts and passion to reach their kind of standard... So to those who are interested in design, be PREPARE to work hard... Hahaha...


Apart from visiting companies, we also went to some of the place of interest, a little bit of exploring by ourselves, great foods and Disneyland!


Also, I felt this trip acts as a bridge between students from different batches and the lecturers too... It was really fun to get to know each others... Oh ya! We also had a birthday celebration for Miss Cherry and Nami Sensei as their birthday were around there... Here's one of the videos we got... Muahahahaha... ;P



K lahz... I shall stop here... Have fun!
