This came in my email inbox last week.
I'm going Chulalongkorn University in Thailand! Haha, was in a dilemma pondering whether or not to accept the offer. Eventually I did! Well, below are the reasons that propelled me into accepting the offer.
1. I talked to Stef.
Best time of her life? Wow, I am amazed haha. She went on to share with me her experiences and that the people in Thailand are actually very nice and that it is actually quite safe (contrary to what I thought) and the hospitals in Bangkok are of good standards, not cui (lousy) ones.
2. Went to googled Chulalongkorn University, well, it is the OLDEST University of Thailand and it is actually the top University for some time.
3. My friends brainwashed me hahaha. Telling me how cheap it is and I would not regret. Aside from that, I have friends that went Bangkok before for exchange or internship and they were telling me how they loved the place. Haha, well I haven't been there myself personally before, I guess it would a refreshing and exciting experience for me.
Well, so after much consideration, I accepted the offer. Surprisingly, on the day itself, Chula emailed all the exchange students, saying that they are in the midst of finding a Thai buddy for everyone and they even provided us with the whole list of exchange students going Chula from all over the world! Hahaha. How nice! :D Then someone from NTU added me on Facebook by searching my name and she is going Chula too. Hahaha.
Kind of having mixed feelings about going, I'm sure gonna miss everyone here, but I want to get out of Singapore at the same time. What an irony haha.
Aiyah, but anyway, flights to Bangkok are cheap! You all can come and visit me right! :D Then can see me wear school uniform. HAHA, yes it is compulsory for the students in the Universities in Thailand to wear school uniforms if I'm not wrong.
Gonna update more about my exchange experience :) So this is the first of many to come! Most likely I'll be flying over in August if all is well!
Did up the online exchange application by Chulalongkorn, but darn, I haven't map my courses yet! Hahaha.
Shall end off with a video about Chulalongkorn! :)
