HUMBLE ABODE ATOP A HILL
These 2 shots were taken just at the entrance to my room. By the way, for those who didn't know, my room is situated in the very hall that's found on a little hill! To me its the centre of this 'Nanyang Universe' because it leads me to almost everywhere within walking distance! Not sure if its a blessing or a curse! :) And oh yes...my room is at the TOP LEVEL (6TH) but the view is good (if u can tell from my pics). It kinds of allow me to overlook the campus in front of my hall and the breeze (when it comes) is incredibly refreshing! In a nutshell, I am thankful for this little corner of Hall 8, that I'll be calling home for the next 1 year. But its not all that pleasant. Twice there was a black-out only at my level plus water was trickling down from the shower heads and taps! A few times, I had to stop showering as the water was pathetically little, and trudge down to the 4th level to continue my shower! Yeah...this is the not-so-wonderful aspect of my hall. Nonetheless, I look forward to getting to know the rest of my hall mates and more exciting fellowship ahead :)
My new family in NIE does not just pertain to the PE school but my new found friends in my GSEL (Group Endeavours Service Learning) project group. Personally, I really love my group! Working on the Project Runway has really bonded the group together pretty well. I can still recall how shy and quiet we were when we first met but the ice soon melted and we can really work well together. I think my group is 1 of the more efficient and 'onz' ones! Yeah man! RADIANCE ROCKS!!!!
Its rather cool how quickly the group is able to connect this well and work wise, everyone does chip in and is committed to making every of our effort count and I'm impressed by everyone's attitude and spirit! I count it a privilege to be able to know this bunch of people and to work alongside with one another. Am excited to see what kind of a project we will churn out and I believe, regardless of the result of the project, we will never forget the friendship that was developed and strengthened throughout this whole process.
This I believe is the essence of GSEL - Not the end point, but the journey we take as a team as well as our own's that matter.
Below are some snippets of our 1st group outing, and I am sure it won't be the last!
