At 6.30am, we were asked to gather to board the bus. We were expected to arrive in Singapore's border at 7.30 a.m.. The whole journey to the border was quiet and still, since it was early in the morning, and no one was in the mood to speak a word. The whole gang was splitted up since we were divided into 4 groups. 2 groups in each buses. This is a way to smoothen up the process while crossing the immigration lines, apparently. So, it was only me, ShiouTing, YewTeng, Joshua, Nony in Bus 1. The rest was in Bus 2.
The process was serious while we passed the counters. The woman who was attending to my group, apparently was in a grumpy mood. Immediately I announced that either she was having a strange case of PMS, or she already has menopause. While I was at the counter, thank goodness she didn't yell at me and even smiled. There was this leng chai officer who was standing at the counter that time, who suddenly asked me, "Where are you guys going? What's the purpose of this trip?"
I froze for a minute. I had to come up with an answer, whatever I said, might jeopardize the trip. In case mah..
So, the best answer I could came up with was, "Campus Visit." and smiled gleefully. The officer looked at me, and then shot me a smile. Lol! Suddenly, I find Singaporeans not that bad afterall..hehee..
We board the bus again, our first destination was NUS. I dozed off, since I was so tired, that when I woke up, I was already there.

Pictures are for posing purposes.
Apparently the campus is so big, we were only at the Engineering side of the University.

I was holding NIPS in hand..coz urm..urm..I was hungry lah..I couldn't wait any longer till lunch..
Our host was ENGIN, which acts like a club. They do stuffs like most of clubs do, like organizing charity trips to countries, having family days, hosting other universities to their university..etc. The professors and technicians were friendly, as we were again splitted up to 3 different groups to visit the labs concurrently. Well, as usual, I shall not be too technical about my visit, so to sum it all up, UTP has a long way to go before reaching the same par as NUS.
A few shots of the university's facilities..

ample of vending machines.


Good HSE.
After the visit to NUS, I can hear people comparing UTP to NUS. How unprofessional UTP is, How unsystematic UTP is..yada, yada yada..and the truth to be told, yes, UTP has a lot to learn from NUS. But it's not fair to compare in that way, considering the fact that UTP is way much "younger" than NUS. I believe, with the sufficient funds provided by PETRONAS to UTP, given time, UTP's facilities might just be better than NUS's.
[Have faith, UTPians!]

Yes, Malaysians in BLUE! The girl in black, named "Chloe" is the vice president of the ENGIN club. She's a Malaysian by the way, from Alor Setar. The guy in black, right beside me, is a true Singaporean, also the president of ENGIN, is Jason. And his girlfriend, happens to be an Ipohian. Well, that's how small the world is!

Where is TeeHooi?
The cafeteria food is extremely cheap!!
Ok, let's not convert the amount of money.
I asked around, since we had lunch at one of the NUS's central cafeteria..
For a plate of malay rice which consists of a BIG[HUGE] drumstick, 2 vegetables, they only had to pay $3.50.
In UTP's cafe, first, you cannot even find a BIG DRUMSTICK, (let alone a HUGE one), and the variety of food is lesser compared to NUS's. And for that amount of food, you would at least have to fork out a piece of green note. (a.k.a RM5, the least!).
Dollar to dollar. NUS's cafe definitely won hands down!
(and I got myself a glass of COKE for $0.50! Heck!! That price was way back in MGS okay..now in UTP, where can get $0.50 punya COKE??)

that's Calvin and I, in front of the Structural's Lab.
We managed to have a small tour around the campus, and visited the Architecture blocks. Damn, the students were in school on a Saturday, to discuss on some projects! Their workstations look so professional, as if they were in a real architecture office. dAMN!! Jealous..and what do we get? Common rooms? Alright, 'nuff said.

Joshua, ShiouTing, Khian and TeeHooi in one of the parks.
And this concludes our "Campus Visit" to NUS. Up next, will be bringing you "Singapore".
p/s: I still think it's wrong to work on a Sunday. Not with this pain.
pp/s: STREAMYX, you suck big time okay?
