a sea of calm
My friend drove a hard bargain: he agreed to show me around the campus in exchange for a lift to school. That was how I managed to survive the first day without appearing too much like a dumb first-year. The different blocks are well labelled and classrooms were easily located. Not too much of a difficulty. It was quite a joy, actually, seeing familiar faces once more, seeing faces not seen in a while because of the year-long hiatus of the exchange students, taking in the excited buzz created by a motley of frenzies.One thing I like about the campus is the amount of space we now have to ourselves. No longer are we just 100 steps in between arts and business. We now have at least 4 big blocks with floors all to ourselves. There's just so much space to prance about! I also appreciate the fact that we're so incredibly near nature. It adds a tinge of freshness to the experience of going to school, somehow, and not have to face hard, unwelcoming concrete. The best part of it is being located at bukit timah. Bukit Timah always brings to mind a conglomerate of foods, ranging from cheap hawker fare to expensive delicacies. There's just so much variety! Town is also a mere five minutes away (by car). It almost feels like I'm going out to a hip joint instead of school.
Compared to studying in the old campus, I definitely feel less pressurised in this new surroundings. It must be the trees. :)
