after presentation.

AEM(Advance elective module), 20 of us have been participating in it at NGEE ANN polytechnic.We are doing the course microbiology.
For the first day, we assembled in school at 8 o'clock sharp. We took the shuttle bus provided by our school. When we reach Ngee Ann poly, we are welcomed by the teachers and student leaders, they were very friendly to us. We had our welcome tea and go for the games prepared by the SLs.After the games our "buddies" guide us around the campus and we settled down in Makan place for Lunch.After lunch we have lecture on microbiology and lab safety. Right after lecture we have our 1st lab session.We are taught to prepare medium for bacteria and strelize equipments.

We start day 2 with a quiz on lab safety.After the quiz we prepare ourselves to grow bacteria such as e coli in agar medium.It is veri hard as it requires us to be quick and alert.We need concentration or we will end up contaminating our samples. Lecture was next in line.It was about structures and function of microrganisms. Our mushroom farm trip is after the lecture. we got to learn and eat mushroom at the same time.It was an unforgettable experience.

Day 3 was started with a lecture by Dr.New on cell shape.Then we go for our field trip to Yakult company, we learnt that bacteria helps in the production of Yakult and they have the Copyrights for that bacteria.It was suprising for me because I didnt know that at all.We were given free Yakult there!!After the field trip we went back to the lab n learn how to stain our bacteria to provide the colouring needed to be seen under the microscope.

Day 4 was started in a quite boring manner because we have lecture for 2 hours and 30 minutes followed by the lab experiment on fungi, but after that is fun all the way.We visited the Tiger Beer company.We got to know huw they make diffrent kinds of beer and their history.After learning all that, we went to the tavern , where we are given free flow of softdrinks.We also played pool there.

Day 5 is our last day and we have our presentation and final tests.Its sad but life must go on. We must get back to our daily life.We thank all the SLs and all our proffesors.
