2013 has a arrived. So what happened in 2012? Quite a lot for me. It was full of ups and downs literally. Like the time when I spent 6 weeks in Tunisia, doing volunteer work. That was incredible. Also did a little backpacking after that with my best buddy, Aaron. We didnt go that many... Continue Reading →
I would never have imagined myself going through my final year as if only a month has passed by when I first started my school life in NTU. Everything is travelling at lightspeed and I am still playing catch up. First semester, first week has come and gone and these are the modules that I... Continue Reading →
I came across a video advertisement from the Ministry of Education. It was done more than a year ago, but I only got to see it in its entirety only today. This long form advertisement is about teaching as a career, and after watching the ad, it resonated deep within me. This is possibly by... Continue Reading →
As I sit in front of the computer, trying to reflect back on those past 5 months of so, it was undeniably one hell of a ride. Nevertheless, it was one ride that I will never forget.When I joined the SBS club as the main committee. I thought to myself that I must be crazy.... Continue Reading →
The new semester has just begun, and already I am feeling the stress of studies. To make matters worse, I have been mulling over the decision on whether I should join the SBS 10th Main Committee for a position in PnP. I have talked to various people within the old committee to seek advice. I... Continue Reading →
After almost 10 weeks of summer holidays, a crazy orientation camp that culminated in the forging of new and lasting friendships, the start of a new semester is now upon me once again. The freshmen orientation camp and the preparations leading up to the event was definitely the highlight of the summer holidays. I was... Continue Reading →

With that being said, I have started to come up with a list of things that I would like to... Continue Reading →
That was the result of this semester's grades. How do I feel?On paper it looks really ok. It is in line with expectations. Although the A- were the modules that were the most difficult. They were physiology and microbiology. I thought I was a goner for that module, but apparently, for some reason, I managed... Continue Reading →
After much thought and the events that happened to me today, I feel that I should rewrite my New Year Resolutions, and create a new set of principles in life to guide me through 2011 and beyond. Two events happened today that forced me to rethink and rediscover what I truly want for 2011. The... Continue Reading →

So I went for the INSTEP Talk today. It simply stands for International Student Exchange Program for NTU students. The talk was 2 hours long and it was highly insightful. The talk is mandatory for those who wish to spend a semester in an overseas university. As an exchange student, you will be studying at... Continue Reading →
So I bought 7 or so new folders to store all my new notes for the upcoming semester, and i think its unsustainable. I have 2 waist-level shelves bought from IKEA and I feel that it is already reaching its limit. Those shelves are meant to store my notes from school neatly, since I usually... Continue Reading →

So my first paper is done. 4 more to go. How did it went? I think it went well, but I have this nagging feeling that it could have been better. There was one question is particular where I went almost totally blank. I mean, I can answer the question, partly but the rest of... Continue Reading →

Apparently, NTU does practice feedback survey, asking students to assess the teacher's performance on his or her teaching. But never did i expect such hilarious comments made by the students for the lecturers and they are totally off topic! My favourite has to be: "Is your mustache the source of your knowledge? Then please dont... Continue Reading →

I had no plans today, so i decided to take a peek into my future campus, NTU. I went for a driveby and i was pleasantly shocked at the size and the rather isolated location of the campus. The university is big! There are so many residences and apartments for foreigns students and such. It... Continue Reading →
