Field Trip to the Singapore Aeromedical Centre

The Turntables and Ventrifuge. Sounds alien? Not to the student of AMS.

18th and 19th of March was the 2 days in which the students of AMS had the opportunity to experience a potentially-sick in the stomach-out-of-this-world- unforgettable-potentially-sick-in-the-stomach-experience. And did I mention that this experience potentially can make you sick in the stomach? In addition to this, the final year students of AMS had also started on their first day of internships at the Singapore Aeromedical Centre. No pun indeed.

1 of the 2 activities students went through as mentioned was the Turntables. In case you are still imagining us students being on a stage with a circular horizontal platform and grooving it out, no absolutely not. Instead, it involves being locked in a sound-proof 'box', and being spun in a steady horizontal motion. Wanna know how it feels like? Spin yourself on a chair 10 times then bend your head down towards your knees. The feeling is a winner. TRY IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

The Ventrifuge....If you are trendy enough to remember the classic Star Wars saga, then this experience is worthwhile. Think a cockpit of an X-Wing – except it's all blacked out with no cockpit instruments to guide you. Then, your 'cockpit' will be subjected to vertical movements whilst constant horizontal centrifuge force is applied. Sounded complex? Simple..... Think of a 'professional' version of a merry-go -round, except that you can't see nothing, just feel, the motions. A definite lunch waster.


Here are the quotes from the students who went through the experience...please excuse the...constancy of the quotes..

Sean (P802) – Dont eat too much before these activities!! you wouldn't want to waste money!

Victoria (P802) – fun!! very dizzy!! I feel woozy!!

Chee Yang (P803) - nauseatic consolation

Xin Hui (P803)– OMG!! Giddinezz to the max!!!! An experience worthwhile..

Fathin (P802)- I felt nauseas

Rizuan(P802) – Unforgettable......There's no kick!!

The Dream-Catchers Press Conference on 23rd Jan 2009

Hi Everyone.
So being in AMS means study and field trips only? Think again.
On the 23rd Jan, 6 AMS students were invited to present their winning project showcase at a MediaCorp Press Conference held right here, in Temasek Polytechnic itself.
It was truly an eye-opener for all of them, including the 2 lecturers who were with them as the students have never attended a press conference before, truly first timers.
Nevertheless, they still got a chance to take pictures with the stars after the press conference!





So, which course allows you to interact with celebrities up-close than this?
Add Flair to your life!
