Today is May-Day or D-Day. Sigh.
So many projects are flooding in.
Strategic Management module alone has 6 projects to do (although no final examination). I rather sit for final paper in this case. Exchange student from Canada seated beside me was shocked.
It is really a courageous choice for those exchange students to choose Singapore's universities (SMU, NTU or NUS) as their host universities (although most of them only need to transfer either a 'pass' or 'fail' grade back home). If I have a choice I will choose to go somewhere more relaxed.
I got a total of 5 modules today, or 6 if final year paper is to be included.
- Services marketing
- Accounting 2
- Strategic management
- Economics of tourism
- Personal information
I will be amazed if I won't collapse even when lying horizontally on bed one day.

Back to school
Woke up at 6am. Have never woken up so early this year to attend school, save for catching early flight! Back in Suzhou I woke up only at 7.40am everyday for work when the sun was high up in the sky (during summer) or just nicely bright (during winter).Reached Pioneer station at 7.45am, just nice for me to have a plate of duck rice. Never before have I eaten duck rice so early in the morning. But my appetite is the biggest in the morning. I can also eat a packet of nasi lemak.
I eat more because I have to attend 6 hours of lesson straight, from 0830-1430 without any lunch break.
Still feeling abit sad because from now until next year June I will be busy like siao. Because of final year project. Many exchange students in my class. I thought I was in America! But one student from Hong Kong. So envious of them now.

Tune Hotel Danga Bay
Went Tune Hotel Danga Bay by coach from MBS yesterday. 12 SGD one way. Journey time about 1.5 hrs.
Had foot reflex in Festive Street Market - 38 MYR/1hr. Cheap cheap. In Singapore, I pay 38 SGD/40mins. Foot reflex is good because it aids in blood circulation. I felt pain when they pressed the acu-point on sinus and gastric... Very true. Cos I always wake up having running nose, and food never gets digested in my stomach. Too much gastric juice.
Next time I go I must tell that old lady from Chiangmai to be gentler, cos I had to walk back to the hotel limply. Power!
Napped in the room until it was dinner time. Bought 1 roti boy from that same market which I had to walk for 10 minutes. Then had mee rebus which doesn't taste like our usual mee rebus. Cos the mee rebus that I ate was indonesian style. Still it was a good try and new experience, and I turned out to like it.
Watched a show on National Geographic on air disaster. After I slept I dreamt of 1 old lady committing suicide by jumping down a building. Today news reported the crash of an Air China flight in China.
Reached back MBS at about 12nn.
Took bus to Esplanade and walked to Raffles City. Met mum, sis and jeck. Had lunch at Shokudo before checking into Fullerton Bay Hotel room 620. Sis booked for her 3 nites stay there to celebrate her birthday.
One night 388 SGD! Very nice hotel. I loved the pool overlooking Marina Bay.
Mum and I walked to MBS for dinner. Fried rice tasted horrible! Plain. Char siew puff was so dry. Both of them wasted the space in my stomach! Could have filled it with something better. I don't usually fuss over food, and when I does, you know the standard.
Left with 4 more days to play before school starts on mon. Finally.

Back from Australia
My trips for this year have ended, finally.
For once I felt soooo tired jetting around!
My trip to Australia was relaxing though.
Some uniqueness about Australia:
- Aussies can wear t-shirts and shorts with slippers in winter
- Most don't wash hands after pee-ing
- Fish & chips!
- 3.50 AUD per mineral water bottle
- Friendly with lots of smiles
- Shops close by 6pm
And I met a mad woman at the hostel! She can really talk nonstop. Was telling me how Australia should learn from Singapore by banning chewing gums. Got one time she sat on it at the bus stop and had to waste 9 AUD sending it to the laundry.
The next day, she repeated the same old story to other hostelites while we were in the kitchen.
The first moment I saw the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House, I was soooooo excited! But after a few minutes, I felt that they were nothing special. Its only that our version is called the Benjamin Sheares Bridge and the Esplanade respectively.
Melbourne? I like it better than Sydney. At least our drive to the Great Ocean Road was something memorable. But then, after a few minutes of driving along the coast, we see the same thing - sea after sea!
I still enjoy Japan more.
Oh well tomorrow have to go collect my dental retainer at 9.30am at SGH! sigh... i am lacking of sleep.
