How to get to CDTL ?

It is on the end of the bridge linking the Computer Centre to Centre Library (above Chinses Library)

invitrogen's voucher

Invitrogen had a promotion this CNY season, buy stuff and they give you ang pau. Inside the ang pau you get vouchers to 'The Bakin' Boys' at Biopolis. We got $15 worth of vouchers but when I went there, the salesperson at the counter refused to let me get muffins with the voucher. She only allowed me to get coffee; and cant even use it to get hot chocolate or tea. The thing is, I dont drink coffee!!! Anyway, got some caffeine and came back. then Terror Teren called the Invitrogen people and found out actually the voucher can be used to buy anything! GRRRRRR...

Moral of the story: don't go to the shop called Bakin' Boys. They suck at PR.
