GOOD LUCK TO OUR CIBTAC STUDENTS

May this Good Luck Care Bear Brings Good Luck and Confidence to All Students sitting for CIBTAC Examinations on 19, 20 and 21 Oct 2009.

On behalf of the Management and Trainers of SingTrain Academy, we would like to thank all students for your dedication and determination in learning which were demonstrated throughout the 5 to 8 months of training.

Not forgetting our very dedicated trainers Cincelia, Penny, Kenny and co-trainers Teresa, Siew Mian and Eleana. Special thanks to our visiting doctor Dr Lim for helping our students revised A&P in a very interesting and humorous manner.

All had strive hard together, learn together, althou we may see some differences and had been through some "agonising" moments at times. However, these little hiccups are quickly addressed and our students had been very accommodating and professional.
I believe all would agree that the entire learning journey was very enriching....... Many become good friends, close buddy and some shows potential to lead the new group of trainees who joined us in the Oct 09 intake.

Good Luck in your exam and Jia You!

DE-STRESS EXERCISE

This is the "crucial" period where our students are preparing very hard for the CIBTAC Exam from 19 Oct to 21 Oct 09.

Try the below exercise which I learnt from a medical specialist who practises aesthetic and anti-ageing medicine.

You can do the exercise anytime to de-stress. Just be aware of your breath. Its simple.



Mini De-stress

Step 1. Three sighs
Breathe deeply into your diaphragm. You need to see your stomach(not your chest) expand with the breath.

Step 2. Concentrate on your breath.
As you breathe in say to yourself “Let”
As you breathe out say “Go”
Repeat 10 - 20 times

Try it before your examination.
Wishing You All The Best and Good Luck!

INNOVATIVE

Dun want to invest in a shoe rack, or do not have enough shoe racks to store your collection of shoes, see how the shanghainess keep their shoes!!

Took this picture outside a public toilet at the wet market near the apartment we stayed. Really amazing!

LIVING AWAY FROM HOME

Just returned from Shenyang & Shanghai ....partial official and part personal.

During the last 2 weeks, I realised that living away from your country can be an interesting and unforgettable experience, but at the same time it has very important effects on one's life.

The effect is that once you start a regular life away from home, you miss everything, especially food and your normal lifestyle. We also need to accept another type of society and culture into your daily life.

Moral of the story is.... POSITIVELY ADJUST TO DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENT AND CULTURE.

In our Academy, we have a good mix of local and foreign students in our CIBTAC and WSQ courses...Malaysian, Chinese National, Philippines, Indonesia etc...

In such an environment, we should postively view that we are rewarded with great friends who may stimulate our growth and help us broaden our horizon.

Thought Kaiwei who is on a 1-year NUS Overseas Internship Programme in Shanghai Fudan University had adjusted very well.

2nd WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 09

Was so happening the whole of this week...

We started our Oct intake of CIBTAC Diploma In Aesthetic Treatment 2 weeks earlier to cater for the needs of our new students....

Henry, our graduate Bridal Make-Up student was interviewed by Violet Fenying on Radio FM Love 97.2 on tuesday to talk about his career path after completing the Certificate In Bridal Make-up course. Guess what, he is already receiving more orders to help brides make-up.

We have also had some wonderful ladies with us for the Face & EyeBrow Threading course on a cool Saturday morning....with a little "ouch ouch" initially. But totally enjoying it when they learn the "rope" or rather the ways in handling the thread.

MUM'S COOKING - ON SUNDAY TIMES

Mum is always cooking up a "Storm" at home, for her relatives & friends, as well as for her children's corporate function. Many of our students had tried her culinary skills.

All her children and grandchildren are foodies and her food "critics"......sadly none can cook.

Her passion & dedication for things she love is something she had imbue in all her children and also what we wishes to emulate...
