The last time I was formally exposed to Chinese language and Chinese culture was actually during my secondary school days, many years ago. This is one of the reasons why I joined SSUE – to rekindle the memorable learning experiences I had during my teenage years. There are still many aspects of the rich Chinese culture that I have yet to learn and explore, and I hope to bridge my gaps in information through SSUE.
During my interaction with the Chinese delegates from 13 to 16 March 2010, I gradually regained the momentum to converse in Chinese, a language that I use less often now compared to the past. Thus, my experiences with the delegates basically redefined and reemphasized my heritage of being a Chinese.
My experiences in SSUE so far has also reaffirmed my pride in being a Singaporean. It gives me great pleasure when I am able to introduce and showcase Singapore's architectural wonders and unique places of interest to the Chinese undergraduates!
Lastly, the SSUE has allowed me to forge friendships with many other enthusiastic and like-minded students from NUS. I hope everyone can learn from one another and enjoy each other’s company when we head off to China in May!
