Hello all!

The annual Pharmacy YEP, “Dispense-A-Dream” is here again! (:

This year, we will be embarking on a journey to a village in Prey Veng, Cambodia to aid in the building of a house for one of the local villagers. We carried out a similar project last year and this year, we hope to return to the same place to continue spreading our love to the other villagers ?

We will be working with Operation Hope Foundation and other than helping to build the house, we will also be spending some time interacting with the children at Hope Village. We will also engage in simple soap making and distribution to the villagers.

Some details of the trip as follows:
Date: 7th – 23rd December 2010 (Working days will be until 21st, after which will be R&R)
Location: Prey Veng, Cambodia
Cost: SGD$500

Dear Pharmers,

As we are going in to the last day of preparation for Rag, I am appealing to all Pharmacy seniors to come down and help out with doing the float for tomorrow. The float still has a lot of touch-up to be done and as all work will have to stop by 10pm tomorrow, there’s not a lot of time left for the Rag Comm to work with. Get your friends to come down to the tentage and work on the float together for one last day!

Together, I believe that Pharmacy can achieve a lot as cohesive unit and hopefully win an award in this year’s Rag! Here’s a big THANK YOU in advance!

Dear fellow Pharmers,

As this academic year comes to an end, we are proud to present you the 49th MRT’s last issue of Elixir.
In this issue, read all about past events that have been organized by the various committees of NUSPS. We bring you plenty of coverage on:
- Late 2009’s YEP and Xperience Pharmacy Camp
- Patient Counselling Event and Brown Bagging
- The newly initiated Sports Carnivals
- and our very own Health Bazaar, held in conjunction with World Tuberculosis Day

Since final exams are looming ahead, we’re sure most of you must be feeling the stress.?In this issue, we meet up with two of our professors who are NUS Pharmacy alumni for some golden advice on how to survive the course, as well as some anecdotes of what life as a student was like for them. We’ve also included some tips of how to destress–will you take our quiz to check your stress levels?

So do take a short break from your studying and look through Elixir to unwind. This time round, we have taken much effort to print Elixir out in a glossy new MAGAZINE FORMAT for keeping in the PS room! So if you’re in school by any chance, do drop by to take a look.

Don’t forget, all work and no play makes one a dull person!

Happy reading, and we wish you all the best in your end-of-year exams!
