Wah... was just doing some tallying of my expenses for the past week... found that this week i've spend the most as compared to the rest of the weeks in beijing. But still ok, course the things i've spent on is quite worth it, as in they are accountable for.. hee
Went to cheong again on sat, this time when to propaganda at 五道口 near PKU.. it's the holland V in beijing, since it's so near to PKU, it has become a gathering n chill out place for the students from all the uni ard that area..
Actually most of the pple hanging ard there are korean students, that's y u can c shop signs with addition korean wordings.
Then again, i just found out that almost every sat in this month, i've had dinner gathering with different grps of pple here in beijing. Last week was Prof Lim, this week is with the pple from the Singapore student association in beijing..
ya, met them for dinner with the rest of the gip pple on sat. Initially tot that this is going to be a small meeting only, but it turns out to be a full force event, as in the association actually invites everyone, including all the sporeans coming for their overseas study in beijing. So in the end there's super lots of pple at the dinner event.
I've learnt to admire those sporeans who came to study in beijing after their As or army. Cos even though the air n culture here in beijing is a bit different here, but the experiences these pple gain is really immense... cos some of them had stayed here for 2-3 yrs depending on their yr of study, some even stayed for 5 yrs(those going for PHD and masters here).
Through toking to some of them, i can really sense n see that they have really lots of things to share from their experiences.... sometimes i wonder how good will it be if i have a chance to study overseas on a long term basis.. hmmm...
anyway, now is already 5 in the morning n i'm waiting for my hair to dry.. slping le... haha
If doing IA, may I know whether Chinese must be strong so as to work and learn well? And for the IA report must be in Chinese right? Is it hard for u to come out with it?
i'm actually doing my IA here but also at the same time studying in PKU. The studying part is compulsory for all students going for GIP and the subjects you take at PKU only contributes to your GEs.
Erm, u dun need to be strong in chinese to be able to work n study in china as u'll be able to slowly catch their lingo n terms once u get here. It's only the first few weeks that u might feel wierd, otherwise it's fine. For IA report, there's no requirement for us to type in chinese. It depends on ur IA tutor in china n ntu.
