had a short 2 days 1 night holiday at Batam over the weekend just before school started on the following mon (25 july 2011). probably there will be more of such short weekend getaway in the future to take a break from the busy life that we are leading. it feels good to slow down the pace of your life and relax once in a while.
school started last week with all the orientation talks. it's quite inconvenient to travel from yishun to NTU/NIE, especially during peak hours when getting onto the train is a problem. but still, i have to get used to this as i'll be travelling often. i attended the physical education and sports science (PESS) freshman orientation camp last weekend. it was awesome! i was in orientaion group (OG) 7 and our group name is Khoo Swee Chiow. wondering who he is? click here to find out more. although the camp last only 2 days 1 night, i thoroughly enjoyed it. i'm fortunate to meet everyone in my OG. without them, the camp wouldnt have been so fun. we did amazing race around the west area on saturday night, running from one checkpoint to another. climbed a 40-storey HDB flat at clementi. i hope that everyone will still keep in contact and we probably will be seeing each other around in NIE. PESS, proud to be!
i'm currently typing this blog entry in my hall at NTU. going to spend my first night here today. met my room mate in the evening before i left for dinner at jurong point. he's also from PESS too! just that he's doing a Postgraduate Diploma in Education programme while i'm doing a Degree one. i'm glad that we have something in common. that's all for now. i'm going to take a look at my timetable for semester 1 before i go to sleep. going for an early morning run tmr, up and down the slopes of NTU (provided that i can wake up in the morning). hahaha.
