A BRIEF REVIEW OF LIFE IN SINGAPORE

Today is already April 13, 2009; we have been in Singapore for almost 4 months. Maybe it is too early to write a review now, but this time I just want to write a brief conclusion about my new life.
It seems to be centuries ago when we just came in Singapore. And after the various and exciting orientations as well as the initial excitement of having classes, there was such a long period when we felt confused about what to do to kill time. Despite the learning journey to Kampong Glam makes me realize that Singapore is such a place that combines different cultures and is interesting indeed. So after that, when I have plenty of leisure time at weekends and don’t know how to spend it, I will set out to wander around Singapore. Sometimes travel with several friends or sometimes alone. We went to the National Botanical Gardens to enjoy the various plants especially orchids, then we took a bus which seemed to go everywhere in Singapore and finally got off in Chinatown. We settled down in a Chinese restaurant and had a feast of our hometown dishes. What a pleasing lifestyle it is! Also the buffet entertains the whole class during the recess week.
Then phrase 2 comes quietly. We begin to have a great research project to accomplish which requires a 10-week effort. We have never done such things before so all of us feel excited and happy when cooperating to work. Besides, the improvised oral reports add the excitement. And we begin to be busy writing essays, blogs, journals and the final project. One more thing I have to mention is the major selecting. When we face the second time of selecting majors and even our future life, all of us are trapped into confusion again. Anyway it is gone now.
In all, we feel fulfilled now, and there are only several weeks remaining in our bridging course. We appreciate the new life in Singapore so far and we really enjoy it. The exciting college life is awaiting us and I’m sure we can be better.
