Week 7 Recess Week - Trip in Vietnam


October 26th - November 3rd Vacation in Vietnam 

     Happy recess week is coming! I am so exciting and can’t wait to travel to Vietnam because this is my first time to travel abroad during the semester. There is no recess week in Taiwan so this week is so fantasy to me. I think it’s quite good to have such a week so that students can refresh themselves and then back to school pay more attention during the class.

     This time I travel to Vietnam for nine days . 5 days in Ho Chi Minh city and 4 days in Ha Noi city. In Vietnam, I experienced the totally different culture from Singapore. Singapore is a really modern and renovated city, the public transportation is well established. While in Vietnam, the street is old but full of history and lacking of public transportation made the Grab and “Grab bike” common to see on the road! Especially the Grab bike. A very special transportation in Vietnam!

     During my trip in Ha Noi, I also take a trip to HaLong Bay. A very beautiful place, the view there is really awesome and made you think of living in the heave! There are so much first time for me In HaLong Bay. My first time Kayaking, my first time staying on the cruise for on night, and also my first time squid fishing! It’s really a nice trip in HaLong Bay~

     Because I chose to exchange in Singapore and I got the chance to visit other countries near Singapore! So happy with my decision to came to Singapore, I can not only explore the Singapore but also explore the neighborhood countries of Singapore, which all have totally different cultures from Singapore. And I learn to embrace different cultures different customs!

Week 6 - Busy Week for Midterm


October 21st - 25th Final week Before Recess Week~

     Time flies! Only left one and half month that I will end my exchange time in SUTD and back to Taiwan. This week is our midterm-week in SUTD. Luckily, none of my courses has midterm! But actually, I have lots of homework and reading assignment this week. Because next week is our recess week and I have already planned to visit Vietnam during that week, I tried to finish all my homework during week 6 , the week before recess week.

     Unfortunately, one of my courses, the professor wanted to announce the homework just on Thursday afternoon, which means I had only one and half day to finish this homework due to my flight on Saturday. I was really afraid that I couldn’t finish the homework since one and half days are too short for me to finish all the questions.

     Guess what, thanks to my exchange partners, we discussed the homework just after the homework was announced and then we quickly finished all the attempts! This was an so surprising experience for me that I could finish the homework just the day the homework announced. Now I can go on my vacation without any worries about my courses and homework ~ 

TF LEaRN Week 5 -TF Forum !!!


October 17th Temasek Foundation Forum

     This week is an important week for me because I need to do the presentation in front of all the TF scholars and even the TF ceo and TF foundation leaders! It’s a really big event - TF forum. I was nervous few weeks ago. I was not sure if I can do a great job during the presentation and being the representative for SUTD . I really want to make all the audiences know how perfect SUTD is and how I love my exchange life in SUTD.

     Finally, I smoothly finished the presentation with my partner, wei yang. Thanks for TF and SUTD gave me such a special and awesome chance to share my volunteer work, share my exchange life, and especially share what I have learned as being a TF scholar. I would never forgot the moment I stood on the stage, everyone looked at me and clapped their hands for my presentation !

     Thanks to Lydia and  Jia Xian , I would say that your are the best staffs I have met during my student life. You went every rehearsal with me, you gave me lots of advices during my practicing , and also cheered me up when I felt nervous before the presentation. So far, I loved everything in SUTD , I loved the experience from TF.
