Went over to the NUS Open House today... almost could not make it... cause Mr Ho din want to release us early to go... luckily Shuhui managed to talk him round and let us off...

This was my first time to NUS for a tour... been there once before, but only to the university cultural centre... so this time was really an eyeopener to me... well, the university is really huge!! 150 hectres to be exact... luckily for the signboards... if not its really hard to navigate around!!

The visit din really start well... cause the MPSH was really hard to find and we had to queue up for a really long time to get in... and the admission talk wasn't really helpful either... cause the information given was really superficial... and totally different from wad I had expected it to be... following that... we went to the exhibition area... which was really crowded and lacked order... we basically just walked about aimlessly... the people there wasn't really approachable either... so we din talk to any1 there...

But the fun really started after the exhibition... we went to queue up for a tour... and took a bus to the Law faculty... the tour guides were really helpful and took us all around to look at the facilities... I was really wowed over by the Moot Court... which was basically a remake of the court... felt really important when I first got in... I really think I shld consider studying law... really seemed very fun... the library was really cool as well... so many periodicals and books!! I think there were like 151 thousand periodicals, according to the guides (The triple Js they called themselves: Jason, Joan and another J dunno wad!!)... only bad thing was that it was really really really quiet... so quiet I could hear my tinnitus!! So I may have to consider... cause I think I have to spend a large period of time in there if I want to take up law...

Really wanted to visit the Business School... which was just next door... budden Rhoda had to leave so we went to the Medical faculty first... it was totally unlike the tour of the law faculty... cause there were no guides to bring us around and there were no where we could explore... den there was only 1 guy there that kept on asking us to ask questions... so I just ask lor... asked whether got toilet or not... hahah... a bit lame lah... budden really had a full bladder...

After we went back to the SRC, realised that the tour to the business school had ended.. so sad... really regretted going for the Med tour... shld have just went for the business tour... haiz... must wait until next year liao... den wanted to go for the law talk... budden the rest din want to go.. so had to leave... den wanted to go for the UCC performance... budden they were really tired so no choice lah.... followed them back lor...

Hope next year got chance to visit NUS again!!
