Journey To The South - Part II (Singapore)

Second Stop: National University of Singapore (NUS)

We reached the NUS campus around 9 something in the morning.
After a short briefing by the lecturers there, we were brought to visit their Structural Lab and Geotechnical Lab.
Also, 3 HICOM of NUS Civil Engineering Society gave us another short introduction about their club.

This is the Japanese Professional introducing the technology they have in their Geotechnical Lab.

The lady with black colored t-shirt is the vice president of the NUS Civil Engineering Club and the guy standing beside her is the president.
This picture was taken in front of their Structural Lab.

Third Stop: Urban Redevelopment Authorities

The next place we were brought to after NUS, but we only stayed there for about half an hour.
It is something like an exhibition of future urban development of Singapore.

Nice huh..

Journey To The South - Part I (UTM, Skudai)

I was missing for 3 days.
Where had I been?

First stop : Universiti Teknologi Malaysia


It was an educational trip organized by Civil Engineering Students' Society of UTP (UCITY).
With 2 buses, 4 drivers, 70++ undergraduate students, 3 lecturers, few lab technicians and few post-graduate students.
We left UTP on August 28 around 9.30pm..

and arrived in UTM around 7.00am on the next day.
After breakfast, we attended a short briefing by UTM Civil Engineering faculty.

Camwhor-ing outside the faculty.
Everyone looked tired, after a long journey.

We paid a visit to UTM structural lab.

Next, Marine Technology Centre.
We're so amazed by the facilities they have in there for research purposes.


This was Aeronautical & Space department, part of UTM Mechanical Engineering department.
They have a huge wind tunnel and several aeroplane and car models in the lab.

We had some sport activities with the Civil Engineering students in UTM, too.
However, not everyone took part, above was few of those.. haha..

Tarik-tali friendly match between UTP and UTM.

You can see that UTP students are stronger and tougher :-P

And judging by looking at how hard they tarik the tali..
So, now you know who won the match la hor :-P

Speech by Nasrul, the former UCITY president.
The one standing beside Nas is one of the committee members of Civil Engineering Society in UTM.
