21st July

Today was perhaps what we should call the day of introductions. We were shown around many places, and we managed to get our own cards to use the library and to get access to the sports hall! (ie rent soccer ball and play soccer) =D also the head of the school of electronics came down to talk to us! It was really interesting to hear what he had to say, and he really made us very enthusiastic about this trip. Now we are already looking forward to the lectures! :)

Next we got to shop =D we went to the ASDA supermarket (famous for slashing its prices) and bought lots and lots of stuff there. Most groups bought around 90 pounds of food! (translated into nearly 270 sing dollars per group, i do not want to know how many groups there are :( ) but i guess it was the cheapest option we had in UK, the cost of living here is so high. :( But i guess 1 thing i learnt is that we always have to keep to timing to make sure people are not happy. Like Bus number 1 today, when the bus was late i guess many of us were not too happy, and it did not really leave a very nice impression. i suppose we should all learn from this and start to act with a greater sense of urgency!

and next Mr Chong brought a group of us to play soccer :) supposed to be very fun, but the person at the sports hall told us they were closing and we could not play soccer :( but it was a nice jog there so nvm :) haha tmr we shall enjoy the pleasures of the beautiful game! and at least we took back 2 positives

1. We know where the soccer court was

2. We know that there are at least 11 people who will be loyal to soccer and play :) so we do not have to play "passing the ball among 3 people". 

At the de-briefing, Mr Chong and Ms Tang gave us some valuable advice - do not open ur windows when not needed =P it was quite funny what had happened today! :D Dillon is really quite accurate =D and also we were told that tmr mr chong was going through gravitation tutorial! (everyone foaming and chionging tutorial) :(

sorry for the lack of photos k i couldn't find my camera... i'll try to find again tomorrow and then edit this post! :) goodnight everyone! sweet dreams... i bet most of you are alr aslp :)

Cheers,
