Some housekeeping rules:
- Do remember to take off your shoes at the door.

- Mama shop sells snacks at 50 cent per item. Please be honest and put 50 cents in the cashbox for every item you take! NUSPS Welfare trusts you!

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!
