4 Years Of University Life

Just read HY's blog, and thought that I should also summarize what I've been thru this 4 years. Time really fly pass, last exam in NTU was over and I'm graduating soon .. so gonna miss this life..

Year 1: Was offered quite late, so got hall very late also. Lucky serene didnt except a hall initially, so we became roommies =). Still remember everything was in such a rush, accept package, medical checkup, collect hall key, clean up the super dusty room and prepare stuff like kettle(I don't drink un-boiled water), curtain, etc etc .. Oh yah, still got to go take the English Proficiency test as i'm from poly. Met evelin there during the test and gladly found out that we'll be in the same tut group. Met all PE3 frens then, but we didnt get close til later part of Uni life. Joined Visual Art Society as CCA as publicity sub-comm and thats all. So I didnt had enough pts to continue stay in room as I'm not actively participating in hall activities. But really glad to have serene as my roommie. She made my Hall 5 life more interesting, had long talks while lying on bed, overslept together once .. haha .. and having dinner together in the tv rooms, asking each other for ideas when doing assignments.

Summer Holiday 1: Took part in Freshmen Orientation as Publicity Officer and I was attached to Voda as photographer and senior attached. Voda is so great!! Wonderful FOC group. Thats where I know Chiew Hoon and became roommies as I stayed under Yuhan's name. Still remember I broke camp on the 2nd last day to collect our new car with dad. And as a totally new Auto-car driver who havent been driving any car since passing her license, my dad so bravely allow me to drive the car back to school myself, still rem mum was so worried but dad say I'll not learn if not given the chance.

Year 2: Stayed in Hall 1 with Chiew Hoon and so qiao, my dear cousin Yuzhen stayed in the same block. Hall life is happening this year. Had the most supper, mainly with Voda. Must've gain lotsa weight then .. lol .. But hall life with Chiew Hoon is great, had sensitive nose together .. supper .. chit-chat.. sharing dramas .. gossiping .. Joined Archery team and managed to get selected as school team. Met great teammates and few of us are now deli-appreccio members.. and our Mango Newspaper .. haha .. hweeying and chiaoluan, my dear teammates and biz mag team! quite sad that we've built up quite good mo qi, but was like quite near the end of year liao, so hy went china for GIP. Will never forget the days under the hot sun or heavy rain that we went thru and also trying to get sponsors. Went hk in december with yuzhen for a 5 days holiday and spent christmas there. Met our twin cousins there too.

Summer Holiday 2: With serene and joanna, after fighting for our chances with the IRO, we managed to make our way to CUHK for summer program. So glad that I'm back to HK so soon, and met such a big group of great buddies. I shared a room with Sheryl from NUS. Though we didnt travel as a same gang ard in hk, but quite great to stayed in the same room. And my gang, so qiao to know another 2 person who shared the same b'dae dates as me, Dennis and Junlong. So glad that travel to hk wif serene n joanna, coming back singapore knowing Meizhen, Ashley, Huiying, Kaiyin, Leonard, Kenneth, Dong, Junlong, Dennis, Bruno and Derrick.

Year 3: Still in Archery Club, as Hon gen and still shooting. Upgraded to metal bow. Was offered Hall 5 but I kept fighting for Hall 1 which I finally got it. Haha .. i kept pestering the hall in-charge .. stayed with a freshie for half a year until crystal's roommie moved out. And Yuzhen moved over to become our toiletmates. Had my internship in MHA where I get to know Eehan, Javis, Xavier and Spencer. Great frens, always going for eating sessions that caused me to gain more weight and our table soccer time!!

Summer Holiday 3: 4 days after IA, I flew to USA for summer exchange program with Frances, Frederick and Allan at UCLA. Great great trip. An eye-opening experience, seeing the big world outside Singapore. And I find Nature so attractive, Niagara Falls and Thousand Island from canada, Yosemite near San Frans, Grand Canyon etc. Finally get the chance to set my feets in New York City, going to Las Vegas, San Diego etc .. Experience of 10 degree celsius summer temperature, lefthand side driving, driving at 140+km/h .. had the best japan shabu shabu and ramen, best korean food, best vietnamese food in LA. Buying pints of Ben&Jerry and Hagan Dazs at US$2.50 each. Seeing Chelsea football players, crazy shopping in factory outlets .. etc.

Year 4: Still staying with Crystal in Hall 1, same room. But i've stopped shooting as my FYP was getting busy. Had a PE3 hk trip which stretch from dec07 to jan08. We spent our 31st dec countdown in Disneyland. a really great hk trip(see below for trip blog). Hope we can travel again together. And after so many things happening, finally have Dear in my life. Must say that I'm still trying to get use, but hope everything will go on fine.
