That's probably a small bit of what I've learnt over there. Sometimes being in Singapore can make you so oblivious to everything else. School tends to make you think that results and Pdps are your priority, or rather your everthing! This trip made me realise so much. It's hard to share it with everyone. We all need to go on more of such trips in order to understand how I'm feeling right now haha. This is probably going to be another ultra long post (: Ah anyway I skipped training today cos my tummy is still feeling unwell heh heh.

Still, I can't believe I'm back! I've learn hell lot from the Chinese (Haha sounds weird) Okay, China Chinese. This is cliche, so many people I want to and need to thank!

I need more time to get use to (or rather to get back to) the life that I lead back here. Ten days didn't seem long at all! And I totally have no regrets going on this trip, in fact, I'm glad I actually signed up for it! To hell the heaps of homework and those loser-fied muggers who suggested that the trip was a waste of time and it would be better off if we've chosen to stay home and mug some reactions of the benzene rings and other compounds into our brains.
Ah, the ten days:
