All in a Day's Work
Helped out at the Mobile Toy Library (We went to MINDS) today with mum and dad. The kids here are more responsive and active than the ones at the Spastic School at Pasir Ris.
Went to SIR (Now known at the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority) Building down at Lavender to renew my passport. It's ten bucks cheaper to fill up a form and drop it into a deposit box (pay by NETS/credit card) than to go through the snaking after-lunch queue at the registration and service counters. What a pleasant irony!
Spent the evening with Jian Ming at the Library@Orchard, listening to a Professor from the MDIS give a speech on the future of Life Sciences in Singapore, and its impact on the economy and labour market. However, many issues were raised about the availability of jobs for graduates in Life Sciences and were left unanswered by the Professor, who was more of an academic than a EDB bureaucrat.

From what i see, the Life Sciences course in NUS is already saturated. At this rate, the graduates will end up jobless, or doing something unrelated. Unless the government starts pumping more resources to develop this field, a lot of graduates (me included) will remain jobless.
Anyway, instead of all rushing to take up LS, go to some other related field that supports it, like Chemistry. (Which may not be such a good choice in the long run, when the global oil reserves run dry)
My 2 cents

That's what the professor said. Anyway, it's my friend who's down for life-sciences. I've already secured a place in Business/Accountancy at SMU.
Thanks for the feedback anyway.
Cheers!
