Module Madness

Registering for modules was full of potholes. Technically no studying in other faculty, must stick to mechanical engineering, meaning that one has to take core modules, TEs (technical electives) and UEMs (Unrestricted Elective Modules).

Sounds a lot but actually NOT! NUS preferred us to do core modules in NUS, leaving us with only TEs and UEMs to clear here, which is absolute RUBBISH because we are capped at 3TEs if not specializing and 2TEs otherwise. Plus, UEMs can let us score so it's rather daft to do them here as results here do not affect CAP (Cumulative Aggregate Point).

So, I guess I'd just suck and twiddle my thumbs here. Well, maybe not. Exchange students are welcomed to sit in to classes that interest (and available) to them and get the signature of the person-in-charge if they are interested. To do so, we had to beg, borrow and steal timetables... in the course of it, we've discovered some interesting places:


Xianhong and I at one of the aerodynamics lab/class that has a plane behind a board and seats.


At one of the many fields in the university were little boys learning football, as expected of a nation passionate about football.


Lydia, Xianhong and I in the midst of a twisted tree, not very obvious here but seriously deformed up close with the trunk bent 90 degrees.

Shall upload pictures of the campus once I am less muddled.
