Meanwhile, SUTD also started to implement full e-learning for all students.<br />
<br />
Considering the e-learning experience, I personally feel that learning in classroom is more efficient. Since professors cannot see us in person, it is hard to tell whether we are keeping up so far. Also, it is hard to pay attention when learning online because we might get distracted and start doing something else easily. The good news is that since we cannot go anywhere during this period, we have plenty of time to deal with our assignments and prepare for our final exam.<br />
<br />
During the circuit breaker period, I stay in my room most of the time. As for meals, I either order Grab food or I go to restaurants in Changi City Point. Except for getting food or necessities, we usually won't leave our hostel. Though it might seem somewhat boring, the first priority is to stay healthy and hope that the pandemic will end soon.<br />
<br />
In sum, this is pretty much my exchange life for the last month in Singapore. Though the COVID-19 did affect quite a lot, I'm still glad that I came to Singapore for exchange. I appreciate all the exchange and local students I met here. By the way, there are still some places where I didn't have a chance to visit so I will definitely come back again.<br />

AquariumS.E.A. Aquarium is one of the world-class attractions located on Singapore's resort island of Sentosa. Though the most popular attraction in Sentosa should be Universal Studios, we decided to visit S.E.A. Aquarium due to insufficient time. To travel to Sentosa from campus, we took the SMRT to Harbourfront station first, and then we transferred to Sentosa Express at Vivocity station.<br />
<br />
I can't recall when was the last time I went to an aquarium, but S.E.A. Aquarium is definitely the finest I've been to. On the official website, it said that there are more than 100,000 marine animals of over 1,000 species in the aquarium. There are many charming species like sea dragon, shark, and jellyfish, just to name a few. In the end of the Aquarium, there is a huge tank which contains many kinds of fish. Moreover, we were really lucky to encounter the feeding show by the staffs there. When we observed the intimate relationships between the staffs and fish, we knew that the fish have been treated nicely.<br />
<br />
In short, S.E.A. Aquarium is definitely a must-visit place in Singapore. However, due to the deteriorating situation of the virus, all attractions in Sentosa will be temporarily closed from April 6. After all, ensuring everyone's safety is the top priority during this tough time. <br />

Originally, the Rotaract Club would provide feasible project for us. However, due to the deteriorating virus situation, we have to find volunteer work on our own.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">After doing some research online, I finally found this organization called Willing Hearts. Willing Hearts is a secular, non-affiliated charity, and is operated by a handful of staff and volunteers. It is a soup kitchen that cooks around 6,500 meals for underprivileged people in Singapore 365 days a year.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">As a volunteer, there are several tasks to do. I will enumerate them as below:</span></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"> Pack lunch boxes </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"> Wash Pots and Pans </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"> Prepare ingredients (defrosting, taking out, chopping...)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"> General help</span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">For me, being a volunteer in Willing Hearts is not that difficult. However I still faced a few challenges. One of them is that sometimes I would find myself lost in the midst of hustle and bustle in the kitchen. Fortunately, this did not last for too long. After working for a few hours, I found out that whenever I don't know what to do, I can just ask any staff there, and they will be willing to tell me where I can help. The biggest challenge I faced has to be handling fish. Our job is to gut all the fish. I had never saw so many dead fish in front of me before, and the fishy smell made me want to vomit. Even I wore gloves, the smell has left on my hands for the whole day. Overall, this is definitely a unique experience when I recall my exchange life in Singapore in the future.</span></div>

We were so lucky that we came back from Cebu on March 14th since Philippines government announced Manila would go on lockdown for one month from March 15th. The situation only gets worse. Before we went to Philippines, there were only 3 cases. However, after we came back, there were more than three hundred cases.<br />
<br />
Here, I want to talk about the policies and measures carried out by the Singapore government. Starting from mid-March, the Singapore government have announced that everyone has to practice "social distancing" in malls and supermarkets. Meaning that people should keep at least 1 meter away from others. After the government announced the policy, I was so shocked that all places implement it right away. As time goes by, the social distancing policy has become more and more strict. On March 27th, the Singapore government announced that people who do not observe the physical distancing in non-transient interactions can be fined up to SGD10,000 (NTD223,000) or jailed up to six months. The penalties are insane.<br />
<br />
As for the measures implemented by SUTD, after the government announced that all classes being conducted online, all local students were forced to move out the hostel by April 8th. Moreover, apart from the canteen, the school was completely shut down.<br />
<br />
When I'm writing this post, the latest policies in Singapore are as below:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Most workplaces are closed, and learning for schools is moved to full home-based</li>
<li>Safe distancing measures are also implemented on public transport networks</li>
<li>F&B outlets will remain open but only takeaway</li>
<li>non-essential services, resorts will be temporarily closed </li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
The measures implemented by the Singapore government are somewhat depriving citizens' right. However, it is really a hard time for everyone, and the government is trying its best to protect us. I hope we can overcome the harsh situation as soon as possible.<br />
<br />

3/9-3/11 Bohol</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Day 3</h4>
<div>
After we arrived in Bohol, we realized that here is totally different from Manila. The island is definitely a holiday resort. Since we already planned a whole day trip on day 4, we decided to relax today. After we settled down in our place, we took tuktuks (tricycle) to Dumaluan Beach where our host recommended us. Dumaluan Beach is undoubtedly the finest beach I had been so far. The water is clean, the sand is white, and there are only a few tourists. </div>

We woke up at 4 am because we had to take the ferry from Panglao to Oslob. The ferry only operates once every day, and it departs at 6:30 am. It was quite an interesting experience because after we arrived at Momo Beach, we must wade to the boat. </div>

So far, I think all of our hotels and hosts are really nice. During our stay in Oslob, our host even cooked breakfast for us. I would never imagine having breakfast right beside the sea.</div>

After breakfast, we were ready to explore around Oslob. Our first plan was to go snorkeling and swim with sea turtles and sardines. It's a pity that none of us brought our phones with us so we didn't picture anything. After snorkeling, we headed toward the Kawasan Falls. Here, not only did we swim in the waterfalls but also try jumping off the cliffs. The waterfalls are breathtaking but jumping is a little bit too much for me. Originally, I was going to try jumping from a 15 meters high waterfall. However, I felt so freaked out after jumping off from 7 meters high so I gave up. After visiting the Kawasan Falls, we returned to our place and called it a day.</div>

Day 7</h4>

It was our last whole day in Oslob. We decided to take a bus to Tingko Beach and just relax. Tingko Beach is rarely known by tourists so it is very quiet. Also, it is very clean, meaning it's a suitable place to swim. </div>

<h4>
Day 8</h4>
</div>
<div>
Once again, we woke up very early on the last day because our plan was to watch whale sharks. As everyone knows, swimming with whale sharks is the most well known activity in Oslob. However, we decided not to swim since we were all too tired in the end. Instead, we just watch whale sharks on a canoe. The experience was not bad, but I personally think the best place to visit in Oslob is the Kawasan Falls.</div>

<h4>
Day 1</h4>
<div>
During the recess week, we traveled to Philippines for 8 days. For the first 3 days, we stayed in Manila. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After we arrived in Manila, we headed straight for a highly evaluated cafe to enjoy our breakfast. Then, we decided to proceed to our hotel on foot. Though it showed on the Google map that it was a 30-minute walk, it was the most tiring journey that I had ever experienced. In Manila, the traffic is always heavy, and most drivers honk the horn continuously. What's worse, sidewalks are rough and narrow, and often there's no traffic lights and crossroads. We all felt very tired after we arrived at our hotel. However, I think it's worth walking since we got the chance to go deep into the society.</div>

After we rest for a while in our room, our last plan was to go to Little Venice. The place is really stunning, and there are also many decent shops there. I would highly recommend one to visit there. </div>

So far, my experience in Philippines is well enough. However, there are some points that one should be careful for. First, the public transportation is really inconvenient. Thus, most of the time we hire Grab. Second, there is a lot of crime in the city so one should avoid going alone or going out in the night. </div>

After lunch, we went to the Rizal Park, which is one of the largest urban parks in Asia. In Rizal Park, there is a green space where we can enjoy the view of Chinese Garden and Japanese Garden. Due to the hot weather, we didn't spend too much time in the park. Instead, we went to the National Museum of the Philippines. the museum is pretty big and most of the displays are art. </div>

As dusk fell, we decided to visit the oldest Chinatown in the world. Most of the buildings there are quite ancient. Unlike other Chinatowns, the Chinatown here doesn't have much shops or restaurants. It is more like a historical spot rather than a tourist spot. After visiting Chinatown, we went to a Korean restaurant to eat sashimi. It was definitely the best meal we had in Philippines. </div>

Coney Island (Serangoon Island) is located on the north eastern part of Singapore. Our exchange buddy said it is not one of the most popular tourist spots because it is quite far from everywhere.<br />
<br />
Coney Island is so undeveloped that we will be surrounded by tall skinny trees along the trail. What's more, we can even encounter wild animals on the island. After searching online, I found most people suggest to explore this island by renting a bike. However, we didn't do that. We chose to walk on foot and it turns out really exhausting.<br />

However, there are still some green spaces in Singapore. This time, I would like to introduce a decent hiking trail to you guys--The Mount Faber Park.<br />
<br />
The Mount Faber Park is located in the south of Singapore. To go to the park from SUTD, it takes roughly 1.5 hours via MRT. The closest train station to the trail is HarbourFront station. I would suggest one to go hiking around 8 to 11 am since it is very hot in Singapore.<br />
<br />
The total distance I walked is about 3 km. There are several spots that one would want to take a good look at them. The reason why I love this trail so much is that we can sight some breathtaking view after climbing for just 10 minutes. And also, there are shades most of the time along the trails.<br />

In short, instead of visiting all the hot tourist spots in a foreign country, I prefer to explore by embracing the nature like this.yenkuan2020http://www.blogger.com/profile/09460825567321008684noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7895106199776846742.post-58985870063234127392020-02-29T07:36:00.001-08:002020-02-29T07:36:42.516-08:00Exchange in SUTD Week 4: Explore around Bugis<br />
After getting more and more familiar with Singapore, we decided to pay a visit to Bugis. The reason why we chose Bugis is that Keng, our exchange buddy from SUTD, told us Bugis is one of the best places to buy trendy clothes and stuffs.<br />
<br />
<br />
Since we have stayed in Singapore for four weeks, we tried to be more like locals. On arriving Bugis, we rushed to the Albert Hawker Center for lunch. There, I got my first try to order traditional coffee by myself. For those who like to drink coffee or tea, you must know how to order like locals! To <span style="font-family: inherit;">keep it s</span>imple, "kopi" and "teh" are Indonesian and Malay term for coffee and tea respectively. In addition, there are also special ways to customize your drinks. For me, I always order "ice kopi c kosong" because I prefer coffee with milk and no sugar.<br />

After lunch, we went to shopping in Bugis+ and Bugis Junction. My friends bought some decent dresses, and I got myself a pair of good sandals. It's a pity that we didn't have enough time to go to Bugis Street this time because we chose to visit The Cat Cafe after dinner. Though the entrance fee is not cheap, we had a chance to pat the cats. More importantly, we all love cats so much.<br />

Since my major in college is economics, there is no suitable pillar for me to choose from. Thus, I chose to be in the cluster HASS (Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences). <div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
Course Selection </h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Most of the course-related issues can be done online. For exchange students, we need to select at least 2 subjects or at most 4 subjects. Before arriving Singapore, we should roughly decide our course selection. After the term starts, there will be an add/drop period when we can make our final decisions.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
My Courses </h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
At first, I chose a total of 3 courses noted as below</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>02.230 Health Communication and Behavior Change</li>
<li>02.202 Organisational Processes</li>
<li>02.226 Leaders and Followers</li>
</ul>
After attending the classes and searching the syllabuses, I finally decided to take 2 courses noted as below</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>02.230 Health Communication and Behavior Change</li>
<li>02.135 The Question of Technology</li>
</ul>
<div>
Both courses are under HASS. Health Communication aims at learning why people behave the way they do, especially about health issues. The Question of Technology focuses on questioning technology in view of philosophy. In sum, HASS courses emphasize on discussion in class and group projects. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Due to my poor English, sometimes it's tough to totally understand what professors or other students said. I remembered that I faced the most difficult articles I've ever read in the class The Question of Technology. Nevertheless, I will still try my best to gain knowledge in SUTD. </div>

<br /></div>
This was the first time that I celebrated Chinese New Year in a foreign country. After chatting with exchange buddies from SUTD, I found out that they also celebrate Chinese New Year because there is a large proportion of Singaporean who are Chinese. However, the ways we celebrate are not exactly the same. For instance, in Taiwan, we usually have a whole week break, but in Singapore, they only have two days off. Moreover, in Taiwan, most of the family will go on a vacation during Chinese New Year. On the other hand, the Chinese in Singapore tend to gather together with their family or meet their friends.<br />

I have never thought of going back to Taiwan since I came to Singapore. However, when my family and friends posted photos of their dinner on New Year's Eve, I began to feel homesick! Though I didn't celebrate CNY with my family this year, I did experience CNY in Singapore with exchange students. On New Year's Eve, we had lunch in Din Tai Fung (Tampines Mall). Actually, Din Tai Fung is a restaurant derived from Taiwan, and is famous for its dim sum. I never tried it in Taiwan, but somehow I tried in Singapore even it's more expensive than in Taiwan. </div>

On the second day of CNY, we went to Gardens by the Bay in the afternoon, and then we watched the fireworks at Marina Bay. The garden is so beautiful that I will absolutely come again. Although we didn't go inside the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest, the outdoor garden is pretty decent. We also got to watch the fantastic lighting show of the Supertree Grove. After the show, we followed the crowd to the Marina Bay and waited for the fireworks. </div>

All in all, it is definitely an unforgettable memory, and I wish I could keep enriching my exchange life in the future.</div>

The program took place on Jan 22 to 23. It was also the first time that all exchange students gathered together. In this term, we have around 20 to 25 exchange students.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Jan 22</h3>
<br />
We have staffs from Office of International Relations to welcome us and explain the details of student exchange program. Then, staffs from different departments also gave short talks on student-related issues. During lunch, we met our exchange buddies from SUTD. After that, we were separated into three groups, and we went on the campus tour and localization journey with our buddies. Our buddies taught us how to purchase EZ-link card and prepaid SIM card.<br />
<br />

Jan 23</h3>
<div>
<br />
In the morning, we spent our time completing matriculation documents. Here, I would like to give a big thanks to an exchange student from my college, who went to SUTD last semester for suggesting me to do the medical checkup first before coming to Singapore. After we're done with the documents, our exchange buddies took us around Singapore. I also want to give a big shout out to all the buddies for being so hospitable.<br />

<h3>
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Hostel Check-In</span></b></h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Usually we should arrive in Singapore by January 21 because the matriculation program would take place on 22 to 23. I decided to come to Singapore on 17 to have more time to settle down. It is really kind that SUTD hostel provides early check-in for students. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">After I arrived in Changi Airport, I took the SMRT to SUTD immediately because the open hours for check-in ends at 5 pm. Thankfully, SUTD is only two stations from the airport. By the way, it was also the first time I experienced the weather in Singapore. It was really hot! </span></span><br />

<h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>My Room</b></span></h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For exchange students, we should either live in the student hostel or find an off-campus accommodation. As for me, I chose to live in the hostel. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">The room type I chose at first was Single (Ensuite) Room. However, due to limited vacancies, I was offered Single (Non-ensuite) Room. The housing fee for non-ensuite room is SGD$1836 (around NT$41000) throughout the whole term.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">To keep it simple, the main items in the room are wardrobe, single size mattress, desk and bookshelf, drying closet, and of course fan and air-conditioner. My first impression of the room is simple but decent. As for other facilities, please check out </span><a href="https://sutd.edu.sg/Campus-Life/Housing/Non-graduating/Room-Type">https://sutd.edu.sg/Campus-Life/Housing/Non-graduating/Room-Type</a>.</span><br />

<h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Important Things to Do on Day 1</span></h3>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Get an EZ-link card</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">AC! AC! AC! </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Decorate your bed</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">EZ-link card is a stored value card for public transit use on the SMRT and buses. It is very similar to the EasyCard in Taiwan. EZ-link card can be topped up via ticket machines in train stations or convenient stores. Do notice that once the card value is lower than $3, you can't enter the train station or take a bus. After getting an EZ-link card, I think the easiest way to go to SUTD is by MRT. I would suggest you to download the app "SG MRT".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Next, I would like to talk about the methods of topping up your air-conditioner in SUTD hostel since it was my first thought when I entered my room. There are two ways to top up. The first is to use the EVS machine outside the housing security office, and the second way is to top up online via Visa or Mastercard. However, the first way is hard to achieve since the machine only accepts Nets. Thus, I would suggest exchange students to bring a Visa or Mastercard from your hometown to make life easier. If you face any questions, you can ask Office of Housing (located on block 59) for help.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">After you got AC in your room, it is really important to have a good sleep since it has been a tiring day. The hostel will provide a mattress so things you need are bed sheet, quilt, and pillow. To get all the stuff, just simply visit Changi City Point which is a mall near SUTD. I remembered the first day I went there, the bedding is on sale. On B1, there are shops like FairPrice (supermarktet) and Daiso where I got most of my daily necessaries from. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /><br />This post sums up the most important things to do on day 1. I will catch you guys in the next post.</span>
