away from home.
After 2.5 weeks of clinicals, this is how I feel:
I really need to get used to this working lifestyle or I’ll suffer come August!

Nostalgia: Pulau Ubin
I can’t say that Pulau Ubin brings back memories of ‘old Singapore’ for me because I was born in a time when there were no more kampung villages/plantations left in Singapore. Spending a day there to appreciate the nostalgia and have a glimpse of what Singapore looked like. It was also a nice place to explore with the other half and a good getaway from the over-crowded main Singapore Island.
We explored the island with a bicycle rented from Ubin’s little town @ $8/day. It was a beautiful day to explore Ubin and we also had the luxury of having the road to ourselves! (there are so few vehicles there…)
The amount of greenery there is something Singapore has lost a long time ago. We took time to enjoy the view from a viewing tower where Nick’s legs got wobbly while we were on our way down. heehee.
Its such a waste that we visited Chek Jawa at high tide! This area is supposed to be the seagrass lagoon and coral area during low tide, so this is all that we saw during high tide. Was rather disappointed as I was really looking forward to seeing the intertidal creatures at Chek Jawa just like what I learnt from a Singapore studies elective.
The beautiful kampung houses:
‘Twas a great day with the boyfriend at Pulau Ubin though I got charred from the scorching sun! Great experience, much appreciation for nature :) I must say that I’ve only started to appreciate nature more after doing a Singapore Studies elective! Well done, NUS. You’ve reached your objective of introducing SS modules to students. HAHA.
