Evidence that we do check our emails..

FRAYON TAN XIAO BAI! (Yes. Frayon's Chinese name is Tan Xiao Bai. Hyuk.)

You want to start a war on who blogs more often? Huh?!

Ahem.

Hello dear sweet punks, I truly hope you guys have enjoyed the Frayon and Fanning show. You need to understand how much I have suffered co-hosting with Frayon just to bring this show to you guys. *Sweet smile*

NOW. Back to work.

We recieved a very interesting email from one of you guys, in fact the webteam here love it so much we are posting it up!

Thank you AK! I have now officially added you in my 'Be Gentle To Them' list! We hope to see you in TP soon!

Therefore punks, email us ANYTHING at furiouscrayon@gmail.com. Who knows, you may see your creation here next!

Solid as Bone,

Fanning

PS: AK, your drawing of Frayon is too cute for him. He has a big enormous head, huge thick lips, unbalanced eyes(and brain), floppy ears. You get the picture. Hyuk Hyuk.

Frayon & Fanning Show Episode 6 - School of Engineering

Frayon: 12 DIPLOMAS.

Fanning: Welcome every - ... what?

Frayon: 12 DIPLOMAS. The School of Engineering has 12 diploma courses!

Fanning: ... Yes, Frayon. You've said that 3 times already.

Dhiva: He seems to be hyperventilating, dah-ling.

Fanning: Leave him. Well, welcome to the final episode of the Frayon & Fanning Show everyone. As Frayon has already somewhat brutishly put it, we have saved the biggest for the last - the School of Engineering weighs in at a whopping 15 diplomas.

Dhiva: And you'll get to see me today as well, as we wrap up da Frayon and Fanning Show!

Frayon: Alright I've recovered.

Fanning: Whatever.


THE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING

Similarly to the School of Business, we'll be using our (now) famous One Line Descriptions™! Here we go guys - the 15 diplomas of ENG school.

Diploma in Aviation Management & Services
Learn to run a a world-class airport, like Changi Airport! No, not run to Changi Airport. RUN the Airport!



Diploma in Biomedical Informatics and Engineering
Engineer the latest equipment and gadgetry for the Biomedical world!

Diploma in Business Process & Systems Engineering
Combine da best of two worlds - Business and Engineering! This diploma is da first of its kind in Singapore!
Diploma in Computer Engineering
Be the reason the IT world exists.

Dat was dramatic.

I know.

Diploma in Electronics
Let the lightning course through your veins! BLAZE ACROSS THE STORMY NIGHT SKY! CHAR AND BURN THE -

Frayon dah-ling. That's "electricity". This is "Electronics". Yew know? Microcontrollers? Aerospace Electronics? Networking and programming? Dat sorta thing, ya?

... I knew that.


Diploma in Info-Communications
Be an Engineer in the Info-Comm industry! - Wirless connections, mobile phones, internet connections, the whole shebang!

Diploma in Integrated Facility Design & Management
BUILD AN INTEGRATED RESORT. 'nuff said.

Diploma in Intelligent Building Technology

How can a building be intelligent?

Frayon. I know ROCKS that are smarter than you. And the next time you're caught in a burning building because of poor building design, think about this how this course would've helped the building engineers.

Diploma in Interactive Media Technology




Diploma in Mechatronics
ROBOTS.

Dat isn't the only thing in Mechatronics, dah-ling. Automation, 3D Design and Visualization, even Aerospace Mechatronics. It's pretty diverse.

ROBOTS.

Never mind.

Diploma in Media & Communication Technology
YOU. Join this course. Develop the high-speed-download-my-movie-in-less-than-a-minute technology. NOW.


Diploma in Microelectronics

Those aren't spacesuits Dhiva. Microengineers need to work in a Clean Room. That suit is to make sure they don't bring any dirt, dust or anything else like that into the room.

Still cute, ya?

Right. Anyway, and there we have the School of Engineering!

That wraps up all 6 schools guys! And we've finally come to the end of the Frayon and Fanning Show.

Frayon & Fanning Show Episode 5 - School of Applied Science Part 2


Fanning: Welcome to the Fray..........

*silence*

Frayon: ?

Fanning: Wow Frayon, you actually did not come up with some ridiculous name this time!

Frayon: What you talking about! I'm always straight, sensible and non-nonsensical.

Fanning: Okaaay, forget I asked.

Frayon: Well today we will be covering Part 2 of School of Applied Science!

LAB LIFE DA DHIVA

Eh dah-lings, why am I included in this segment?

Well Dhiva, what does life in the school of Applied Science make you think of?

LABS!

Frayon. Is your name Dhiva now?

Ahh. I see. So we are going to be mixing my segment here? Okay, let's get started!

We will be talking about one of the more prominent labs here in the school of Applied Science.


As you can see, 'studying' in a lab is all about hands-on 'work'.


If you were in Veterinary Technology for example, you'd get to work a lot with animals, or if you were in the Chemical Engineering diploma course you'd be working in Chemical labs quite a bit.

In addition to that, the equipment in our labs is far cooler than labs in secondary schools.

That is of course Frayon, you don't expect students to work on plant cells with just test tubes and bunsen burners do you?

Well, uh, I, uh, you, uh, I knew that. Don't make me look like some ignorance ignoramus, Fanning.

I shall just ignore you Frayon. Also, for those in the Baking & Culinary Science and
Applied Food Science and Nutrition, you get to work at Bistro Walk!





I'm quite sure we covered that last post, Fanning.

Shut up. If I want to repeat it, do you have a problem with that?

Erm. DHIVA! Don't you want to comment on their fashion?

Yes I do dah-lings. As you all can see, lab coats are all da rage now.

They are?

They are?

Yes dah-lings! Nothing says POWER and AUTHORITY and KNOWLEDGE more den da long white coats. And da cooks and service personnel at da Bistro Walk! Authentic, strategic and most importantly, delicious looking.

... Uhm. Okaaaaaaaaaay. Dhiva, we're talking about the people, not the food.

Frayon. This is her segment. She can say whatever she wants.

Then why is it that when it's my segment I can't say whatever I want?!

Oh. You can. It just comes with consequences. *cracks knuckles*

Dah-lings, stop fighting all the time. We shall end off here for this episode! Now both of you! Shake hands!

Fanning: *stones*

Frayon: *pouts*

*5 hours passed*

.........

Forget it, catch us on Monday for our finale entry!

JAE Fever and Cut-off points

Hey guys, don't know if you know this already but you can check out the Cut-off Points (COP) of all the courses at www.polytechnic.edu.sg, or you go to the page directly by clicking on this link.

What do the COP mean?
It's a gauge of what last year's cut-off L1R4 (specifically L1R2B2) was like for the students who applied. E.g. TP's Computer Engineering COP was 18, means that students higher than 18 were not accepted (except via JPSAE/DAE).

Please note that this is last year's COP and is meant as a gauge only. This year's COP is determined by who signs up for the course.

Also, if you need help with choosing your course, come down to TP's JAE! We have lecturers and students helping out to give course advisement and all. Fanning and myself spoke to some students who were there too.

Though of course she scared a few of them off with that cleaver she always carries around, but still.

Frayon & Fanning Show Episode 5 - School of Applied Science Part 1

Frayon: Hi all! Welcome to the Fryer and Fr-

Fanning: FRAYON AND FANNING SHOW! *Glares*

Frayon: Err. Yeah, I was about to say that. Anyways for today's episode, we will be covering the School of Applied Science! And we're going to do it... a little differently.

DIPLOMAS IN THE SCHOOL OF APPLIED SCIENCE (these are links by the way)
Diploma in Applied Food Science & Nutrition
Diploma in Baking & Culinary Science
Diploma in Biomedical Science
Diploma in Biotechnology
Diploma in Chemical Engineering
Diploma in Veterinary Technology

Alright, this is Bistro Walk:

... ... Frayon.

Huh? What?

It's your cue.

Huh? OH. Ahem. *innocently and curiously* Gee, Fanning, what is Bistro Walk?

I'm glad you asked.


Bistro Walk is a cafe in Temasek Poly (strategically placed next to our very-high-traffic bookshop) that's being run by students from the Diploma in Baking & Culinary Science (BCS).

*silence*

FRAYON!

WHAT WHAT W - OH wow Fanning those look good! *dramatic gasp* You mean they were created by the students of BCS?

Yes they were. They taste better than they look! Even Dumdum wanted to have some. Tsk.

Ahh. I also know that this cafe is not only managed by the students of BCS but also by the students of Applied Food Science and Nutrition.

And did you also know that this cafe gets Plant Tissue Culture Training Facility that is run by the Diploma in Biotechnology course.

Gasp. Oh. Wow.

... You are a horrible actor Frayon.

B-B-But that last one was real.

Moving on.



Animals! Whee!

... Ahem. One thing about Applied Science is that they have a lot of labs.

No.. Really? I couldn't tell.

Are you trying to be sarcastic?

Heh heh. Anyways, these are the Vet Tech labs, in which Vet Tech students learn!

No.. Really? I couldn't tell.

... hardy har har.

As you can see the Applied Science school is a very integrated and realistic school. But what is life like as a student in Applied Science??!!

*silence*

....Frayon. YOUR CUE.

TUNE IN TOMORROW TO FIND OUT!

Frayon & Fanning Show Episode 4 - School of Business Part 2

Frayon: HI GUYS! How were your O Levels??

Fanning: Better than yours I bet Frayon.

Frayon: Pfft. Oh, and those who received our flyers today and are here to visit - ... Weee nooow haaave controool of your miiiind.

Dhiva: Frayon dah-ling, stop waving your handz like dat. You look like a two-handed octopus.

Fanning: His face sure looks like one. Let's move on.

LIFE IN THE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS
Bizpark! The canteen in Business School is the only canteen in TP which has a it's own radio station!

And may i proudly add that I (that's right, ME. FANNING. ME. ) was on air before.

Spare us the gruesome details please, I treasure my sanity.

WHAT DID YO-

I mean.. err. WOW! Yeah. Woohoo that was amazing. Heh. Heh.


The radio station is managed by the Communications and Media Management student by the way.

Many Business students also tend to hang out right outside their LTs on the benches and work on their laptops.

Fanning, I think this next place that I am going to talk about is a place you desperately need.

WHAT?

Err. Cheers! Geddit geddit? You need some cheery cheers in your life. *nervous laugh* Heh. Heh. Heh?

Frayon.. I am going to - *censored censored censored*

Dah-lings, please bee nice-uh. No fighting ah, blood is hard to wipe off our carpeted floor, yah?

Ahem. Cheers is the place to go to stock up on your snacks and what not for lessons.

Uh huh. Now that Dhiva saved my life, let's move over to her for Dhiva da Diva!

-----
DHIVA DA DIVA

Now let us look at da students in da School of Business.

Tis is Jolene. Notice how she matches a bright red skirt with a much toned down black top. Chinese New Year is coming, wear red, good. Too much red, not good. She pretty ah.

Tis is Kelly. Aiyoh, so thin ah. Dhiva's advice to her, eat more! See her top, sooo many colours, like a rainbow.

Ooooh. Raaaaainbow.

Ah yes yes. With her smile and a rainbow to-

Oooh. Raaaainbow.

Stop it Frayon, or else I vill unleash Fanning on you. Anyways dis iz da typical Business student dressing. Tank top and jeanz. Also pretty ah, but too bad ya, taken already.

Dhiva, this is a fashion segment, not a dating segment. Stick to the clothes.

Aiyoh. Why so strict dah-ling? Anyway as you can see, Business students usually dress as a "normal" poly student. BUT as a bonus, most courses in Business require you to wear suits (benches not included)!

And as a special bonus, some courses even require you to wear special uniforms. Like those in Leisure Resort Management:

Culinary and Catering Management:

and Hospitality and Tourism Management:

They look so pretty ya.

Not as good looking as me, but close enough.

*throws up*

*cleans up*

Alright guys, we will see you tomorrow for the second last episode on the School of Applied Science!

Ta!

*continues throwing up*
