Had a final presentation for the China Immersion Programme (CHIP) yesterday. Had to wake up super early cos it started at 830am. I only had to do the clicking while xinyi did my part of the presentation cos i did it during the rehersal haha =P. Anyway the presentation was not bad and Proff Li gave a super hilarious talk with all the pictures and captions he made... haha... he prepared 131 pages of word doc for a 10mins talk...but it was those few words on each page kind lar... haha... got xinyi's sleepy face while we were listening to a talk at an industrial park, and me, si Qing and isabelle trying to immitate the models after a fashion show... but i don't have the pics so can't show it here =x
One of the proff said something that was really true...wat did i learn going for this trip? well i guess the industry visits did give me an idea of what it was like, the presentation we did also made me aware of the chemical studies system in China and appreciate its difference to our own system. But i guess the most important and crucial part of the whole trip was the friendship forged and contacts made... I really din understand how important it was for networking and keeping contacts but trust me, it is Very Important!
After the trip, we got to know 2 chemistry professors better and they got to know us to, which is something not easy if you're jus a studying student. This makes it easier for me when i need recommendation letters or work with them for my FYP... haha at least they will find it harder to reject us too since they kind of know us liao heehee... Then got to know more chemistry mates too hahha makes going to lectures more fun liao.. not so lonely anymore. Need to ask questions or borrow lab report or anything also easier keke =P Hopefully i'll remember this and make as many friends as possible in CAnadA!!!
♥ the world will turn WILD.
