gosh.. i've nvr seen so many ppl in NUS before.. it's so saturated with ppl studying all around. i mean everywhere... yes everywhere! the libraries are full with ppl... each n every table... for ur information.. there are a few libraries in NUS...and libraries in NUS consist of few floors with lotsa table.. then the study rooms, lounges, tv rooms... all are full with humans holding books... even at the corridors.. the benches.. canteens.. gosh.. basically anywhere u can find a table, there'll be human studying there... crazy...
another thing...the bus.. fuiyo.. crazy.. coz everybody is going to the same destination, which is the multi purpose sports hall, the buses are soooo full with human... i mean, even at the 1st stop, ppl cant even squeeze themselves into the bus.. crazy... NUS is really crazy...
i felt so suffocated.. really suffocated.. a lot of ppl... and a lot of robotic ppl... and u noe..singapore has limited space.. even in the exam halls.. the space btw the tables are so small.. u can even see the answers of the one sitting next to u CLEARLY.. yes.. it's just for a medium-sized invigilator to walk through.. oh yea as boon said, when u r having exams,look left,right,front or back.. and u might not see anyone u know...
and NUS has so limited space that even the hostels' function halls are exams venues.. crazy.. imagine the place u r staying are having exams and u cant make noise.. oh yea.. everybody is studying, so nobody will make noise..
ok so now i'm having finals.. u will not know how 'good' the life here...as u see in my msn nickname, there's no day or night...wake up, eat , study, eat again, study again, study again.. tired d nap a while.. study again.. study again .. study again.. basically i also dunno what am i studying.. feel so stressed out.. no wonder ppl name NUS as National University of STRESS... with smart and hardworking robots around...
today is just the 1st day of my exam.. 1 week+ to go... haih.. i cannot imagine how am i going to tahan here for 4 years... insane... lifeless.. breathless.... oh yea.. and moodless... coz u cant be moody.. once u r moody, there goes ur day... and guilt will cover u coz u will think ur coursemates have been studying.. and gosh.. the singaporeans.. not staying in campus.. also purposely come back to study... tat's y u see the libraries are sooooooooo full of ppl..
so now u noe why i still feel the same after taking a breath n rest fr studies... in fact, will feel worse aft walking out...
oh yea, btw the study week and exam periods they will give out a lot of free biscuits and coffee.. just to let u stay awake thruout the nite.. and they will open the study rooms 24 hours.. and they even open some of the lecture theatres till 12am.. and some floors of the libraries too.. 24 hours...
so this is NUS... i've really nvr seen such a study culture before... where the students really STUDY the whole day.. their butts not leaving the chairs unless to dine or toilets... -.-"
