Taiwan Exchange Trip Part 7

Went 五分埔 with my friends again.

I can never finish shopping for clothes there. It's really big and you will get good deals if you are prepared to shop for a long time and search hard for the good deals. Hahhaa.
Photos~!!



The bus that always bring me to Taipei safely. You just need an hour to get to Taipei~!!

In the bus station. A blurred photo.

In the mrt stations, everyone stand to the right of the escalators. This makes it easier for people who are rushing for time!



This is one of the reason why I love Taiwan. They are more civic minded than us. In Singapore, there will be one or two who always stand on the right of escalators despite having signs reminding people to stand to the left!!!! I always think that we can do much better if we wish to see ourselves as a 1st world country.

Took photos in the mrt station.


Random road signs


Dine at the famous 胡须长! This stall is famous for its 鲁肉饭!








After having our lunch, we went shopping for stuff.


The guys and girls decided to shop separately. I shopped with Ah Kit, my friend from HK. Decided to get someone to take a photo for us after the shopping.

Ah Kit wanted to take a photo with the lady who took the photo for us because he thought she was pretty. HAHHA. However, we did not manage to do so.

Once again, the girls went crazy again!


I will return to 五分埔 again when autumn arrives~!!! HAHHA.


A Tour Around My Campus






This is the bus stand. Everyone will wait for the shuttle bus just along the bus stand.

Yeah. And this is our shuttle bus that brings us around the campus. It's small but it comes at an interval of every 5 mins.

Taiwanese are generally very polite. There is this particular bus driver who always remind students to keep clear of the door whenever the bus come to a halt. Almost all students will thank the bus driver before they alight!!!

My school is built on a hill. Thus, I always have to climb a flight of stairs before I can reach my hostel.

Just look at this flight of stars!!!! THIS IS JUST A PART OF IT! I can pass my IPPT immediately when I return to Singapore. My legs always get really tired by the time I reaced my room. To make things worst, my room is on the 4th level of the hostel and there are no lifts!




My hostel~~!!!!

This is the place where everyone dry their clothes. It's a little unsafe because people may steal your clothes. However, I think that Taiwanese are generally kind people and my clothes have not been stolen before.



My school is linked to the Chiao Tung University Of  Taiwan. Chiao Tung is also one of the best universities in Taiwan. We are allowed to take classes in ChiaoTung and I took a science module there. This is the road that links between both schools.



Introducing the library!



Oh yeah, the dogs in TsingHua are not afraid of people at all. They will even escort the girls back to their hostel in the night!! Haha.

Sofas in the library. Many use the sofas to take a quick nap before classes start again!



Oh yeah, you can like the library on facebook~!! Hahhaha.

This is one of schools that I go to for my business module!


Took a photo during my Japanese lesson.


My hostel~!!!!





Read the above notice.

Apparently, we are not allowed to throw the toilet paper into the toilet bowls!

That is why there is a bin in every room for you to dispose the toilet paper that you had used. HAHA.


Somehow, there isn any foul smell in the toilets!! Hahha.

Last but not least, this is my timetable!

You can click on it for a better look!


WOO~!! I have my Thursdays and Fridays free~~!!!

I seem to have took really little courses but this is already 20 AUs.

Credits to Ah Kit for doing up this timetable for me.

Updates soon~!!

Cant Stop Listening

Cant stop listening to this song today. Had to listen to the song even when I was memorising my Japanese characters!



陳勢安 / Bii --- 勢在必行

詞曲:戴佩妮

我以為我已經累了

無法再回頭 沒有目標的翅膀



我試著飛越那扇窗

溫度卻讓身體 再次感到很沮喪



我微笑不是假裝 我追是因為渴望

我奮不顧身奔向 每一道陽光



我跌倒是種成長 我哭是一種釋放

我存在不是假象 我不管 我倔強



為愛付出瘋狂 為夢受一點傷

為保護我的信仰 變得更堅強



為執著橫衝直撞 為你說了點謊

別說我一直找不到方向



再為愛付出瘋狂 為夢受一點傷

為保護我的信仰 變得更堅強



為執著橫衝直撞 為你說了點謊

為別人看我不屑目光 昂首飛翔


Updates soon~!

Taiwan Exchange Trip Part 6

Went to the beach with my exchange friends.

We had lots of fun and the scenery was beautiful. Rode in the 4-man bicycle for the first time. It was really tiring. Do we have this bicycle in Singapore?!?! It's so cool. Everyone can actually pedal together!

Mq and Melvin, lets give this a try when you guys visit me in HsinChu. However, it will be really cold!!! Bring along your sweaters and scarfs!!!











The scenery was gorgeous and we had lots of fun posing for photos.

Updates 

School has started and I am beginning to hate the stress! Hahah. I wish I didn have any classes to attend. All the exchange students agreed that we all dont feel like studying. We just feel like having fun.

I hate matching courses to that of NTU the most!

The professors always reply saying that the url for the course information is invalid. YES. It is but I cant do anything about it~!!! The session just timed out!!!

ARGH!!! Hate it! And I have a Japanese test next week!!! I am sleeping late everyday because the exchange students seem to have activities everyday! I understand why most people who lived in hostels cant achieve good grades now! I worry for my skin~!! Hahha.

My money is depleting at an amazing rate and I am about to draw out more money now! This is despite having already brought along $2000 worth of NT to Taiwan! OMG. I will need to teach 2 kids when I am back in Singapore.

The weather in HsinChu just suddenly turned cooler these 2 days. Everyone is starting to wear their jackets. I wonder if autumn is here!! Hahaha. It gets really cold at night because the winds in HsinChu are so strong!

Okay, updates soon.
