SEP@KAIST - The Final Chapter

Here comes the final day my stay in KAIST, Daejeon. It has been 4 months since I came to Korea and a lot of things are just happened over this period. Aside from traveling around, I have experienced the Korean academic environment, made few awesome Korean friends, understanding their culture, fostered new friendship, gone through the dark period of campus series suicide and many more unforgettable ones.

In terms of academics,I have learned a lot through my group in Chemical Product Design and Sociology. As one of the best teams in product design class, I really glad that we able to design a 'Color Changing Bottle Cap' using piezoelectricity technology and design methods learned in class. We have gone through ups and downs as a team but finally everything comes to a peaceful ending. On the other side, I am really proud of our sociology presentation team, which has topped the class for all 3 presentations and appeared to be the elite of the class haha.

I have met friends of different nationalities especially of Korean. Besides my teammates, Dasom Kim and Eunsu Kim are my best classmate who always take good care of me (providing me the answers for assignment). Besides that, friends from the Chinese circle, especially from Singapore have made my SEP stint memorable one. We fostered our friendship through interaction, hangouts, trust and support. I am really sad to leave u all as you all have made an important chapter in my life.

I believe I will come back strong as what I believed I would be. Circumstances has made me more mature and ready for new challenges. The Korea SEP is a stepping stone of success and it is an integral part of life experience and memories.

Spring comes

Spring comes and winter is gone, a bunch of exchange students came and are going to left soon... We shall cherish the moment we left in KAIST and hope for a better future when all of us will meet again somewhere in the world :)





Good luck for exams everyone!

3rd World Food Festival

After trips to Cheongwadae, the President's Blue House, and DMZ (pictures check out at fb!), we are left with 2 weeks of school and exams. Today is public holiday and we participated the 3rd World Food Festival organized by the Hanbit Church. There are total 18 countries, including Malaysia and Singapore. I helped out in both stall and it was really a wonderful experience though it was hectic!

We prepared the food for Singapore stall since last week, with lots of times of trial and error, and finally came out with 1) Friend Hokkien Mee, 2) Prata Cheese Sausage and 3) Milo Dinosaur (this is really representing Singapore ha). Malaysian side we have Nasi Lemak, not much preparation as we got help from the Hanbit Church people, my only contribution to the Malaysia stall is just help to cook before the event starts! All credits to Suyi, our Malaysian Nasi Lemak tastes really best and good sales followed of course!

I slept last night 5 am in the hall after cooking (actually I was there to enjoy the atmosphere of cooking only) and woke up 7.30am to help out Suyi to prepare the food. I was so tired today but the event was successful, filled with fun and joy, and definitely wonderful memory for my exchange stint, aside from travelling, reveling in the binge, and whole new academic experience.

I am proud of myself, my country, and NUS in providing such opportunity to my life. As time passes, there are 2 weeks left and there will be less outing, I suppose.

I am an EXCHANGE STUDENT, however, this weekend I am heading to Seoul again to meet up with Zhen Tian, and other classmate from LAK NUS! Cant wait to meet you all :)
