About Myself

Hi everyone! Thanks for visiting my blog. I wanna keep this blog informal so that my sharing can achieve a more "personal touch" to it. Also, pardon my grammar and vocabulary :')

Just to share with you a little bit about myself:

- Scored 149/300 for PSLE

- Went to Normal Technical Stream

- Went to ITE 

- Went to Polytechnic

- Currently in NTU 

My sole intention for this blog is to help others who might be going through a similar education path or situation as me. I was fortunate enough to have made supportive friends and mentors who molded me into who I am today. And I think the best way to return the kindness to my benefactors is to "Pay it Forward" and I find sharing my experience and tips is the way that I'm comfortable with :)

I will be creating multiple blog posts. Each post dedicating to a specific education journey I was in and I'll do my best to be comprehensive and save you from those long stories.

The post will cover: 

- overall experience

- tips that I found to be useful and helped me

- how I would have improved

 

That's me!

UNI: Overseas Exchange Tips

Welcome! You must’ve gotten super excited after attending the sharing session by GEM Explorer /hearing stories from your seniors and now you'd like to get out there and experience studying abroad.     My overseas exchange mainly covers the perspective of an NTU CBE student who went on a semester exchange (GEM Explorer) in year 3 semester 1 (Winter Semester, Oct – Jan). So, it would vary with other people’s experience. But generally, the idea should be the same. Before you read, let’s make some terms clear first.    “Course” = Subjects/Modules (Thermodynamics II etc.)   “Programme” = Course of Study ( Bachelor o f Engineerin g in Chemical Engineering etc.)   “University/The University/Host University” = Overseas University    *The information is accurate as of 2023, so things might have changed since then. At the end of the day, do your own research and you can DM me on LinkedIn if you have any queries*   Now, let's begin!   ...

UNI: Before Uni

  I will be dedicating this post more to the NTU freshmen (especially if you are from CBE). This post will cover mainly things to look out for in school, my reflection on the modules I've taken in years 1 & 2, along with tips for all of these modules. Since there are ALOT of things to cover about uni, I suggest you also search for other blogs/vlogs that talk about their daily life in uni, and how they cope with the curriculum too.   ______________________________________________________________________________ Congrats! You made it to NTU and the course of your choice! Now you might be curious what's next for you? Do you mug 24/7 months before the semester starts? Or should you sign up for every single orientation camp in existence? Here is my personal take on what you could do to help you with your transition to uni-life.
