A tablespoonful of today

Ok. Time flies. Beam me up scottie~ and I've now been in Singapore for a little over a month now.

Lots of things happened in the past 7 weeks. From the humble beginning of my journey to Singapore with my cousin Michael, who was one of the most helpful person I've ever encountered, to the first time I entered the NUS campus, to the making of new friends, to the journey of the University Freshmen Orientation, to the rites of the Raffles Hall orientation, to the beginning of the semester, the rag and flag day, the inspirations, the disappointments, the challenges, the people, the traditions, the professors, the modules, the bidding system, the everything. lol

So I'll just skip that for now. One thing I learnt though, is the importance of taking a lot of good pictures. For a while there I was even regretful of not doing so. Fortunately a lot of pictures were taken by the Orientation organizing committees, hence allowing me to easily acquire these valuable memory enriched photos for future reminiscience.

The first examination I took in NUS was the Qualifying English Test examinations. I managed to pass. Phew~ Got a band 5. Grateful for the seniors who gave tips. I guess they really helped a lot after all.

Started blogging today at the dance studio, I'm now involved with concert casting. As Archie Brown. Need to memorize scripts and act out stuff. Fun stuff.

Joined NUS choir, first time joining a choir that actually wins international competitions. Impressive to say the least. Signed up for a few activities such as Rock Climbing and possibly the university lifeguard corps. Went for 2 interviews for the NUS entrepreneurial Society. Interviews were quite intense to say the least. Was offered a place in the executive committee for the Harvard Entrepreneurial Exchange Program. Absolutely elated. Just came back just now from the NES induction. Going to have Malaysian Night soon. Everyone's all hyped up and rararaing. lol

I actually managed to visit my distantly related aunty in Singapore a few weeks ago. There I spoke to my uncle a chief electrical engineer working with Shell who offered me many nuggets of advice. Turns out that their home is just a bus stop away from my NUS campus hostel. Really convenient.

They say that in NUS if you stay in a hall, out of 3 things, study, sleep and play, you can only choose 2 things. If that's the case, then I would choose sleep and play. By regarding studies as play, all I need to do is really just 2 things. Sleep and play. whee~ :P
