"The good thing about science is that its true whether you belive it or not."

Day 1: Briefing (bleargh) and exploring.

Well. Today has been interesting, at least.

 Except for the safety briefing. Some guy was constantly emphasising on safety and general lab procedures, making sure we got the message.

 You get the picture. Boring but necessary.      



 The lot of us were divided into groups, and I did not know my partner. HALF the others are like Nanyang. Hope Anderson sends more next time round, then they won't be in my shoes. Trying to figure out how blogging works, as it seems to be a try it as you go along thing.

After the briefing, we explored the school. Were entirely lost, because the school building was like this GIANT grey labyrinthine building. This is us there.


To me, the school of Material Science looks like giant grey Lego blocks dropped one on top of the other. And the corridors would make for some great scenes for like horror movies. Bout half the building dedicated to the professors and their rooms, and the other half (the basements?) for the labs. Its a good place though. People seem to know each other, and the free flow hot drinks are a godsend. People at work on the computers in the lab all the time (exams coming), and for those who fancy a break there are magazines in the room as well. (Since its a school, most of the magazines are educational) Stuff like National Geographic and Times, to name a few.

Lunch was at a high end hawker centre sort of get up, through some halls where the professors and students stay. Everybody seems to be chill here, exept for the undergrads (their exams are like next week), which means that now is probably cramming time. Bout the only time they study, I fathom. But this is Asia, and Singapore, so I highly doubt the validity of that statement.

Will update all you people soon. Take care.

Peace out.
