Just 2 years of education in engineering makes a whole lot of difference.

I understood it clearly today.

Can you imagine the conversation between a master and PHD student studying engineering?

It is not that difficult actually. Just imagine eavesdropping on a conversation between 2 foreigners speaking a different language. That's how it is like this evening.

It is so frustrating not catching the ball, when the people around you are like nodding their heads in agreement. Communication is one of the toughest topics/modules in NUS. Topics which I will learn in year 3 are all being cramped in a few days worth of lectures. =X All because the competition is in a week time. But all the preparations now are worth it because we won't be touching any topics once we fly off for Europe =33

On the other hand, it is quite cool listening in on the conversation. With 2 god-like profs guiding us along... Hopefully, we will be the first team to win this time round. =D Then our photos will be on NUS website. =D Hehehe =p But then again, we are up against Germans; 16 Germans team to be exact. And they have an advantage, in a sense that the answers to the preliminary round are up for downloads, in German. =( Luckily,  there is google translator around =p

On a side note, I love my shorter hair! =D It is so much faster to bathe now =DD
