Written by Su Rui, Y2, Information Engineering and Media We could barely see anything from where we stood onstage, waving at the audience as the red curtains were drawn close at the end of the performance. The applause and cheers of support from our family, our friends and faculty members, resounding in our ears. Our […]

Student Life: A Guiding Light Amidst Uncertainty
Written by Eugenie (Y1, ECPP) 😊 Throughout my primary to tertiary school experience, it seemed like anything and everything I did was geared towards one specific goal: to get good grades to enter a good university. Then, in the blink of an eye, the momentous A-level exam was over, and I was overcome with a […]

From Street Food to Stories
The night before my trip, I lay wide awake in bed not knowing what to expect for the next five days. I was nervous at the prospect of helming my very own research project which my group and I have worked on tirelessly for months. It was finally time to head down to the vibrant […]
A Personal Reflection on Meaningful Service
Last week, alongside my fellow NTU-USP peers, I embarked on a transformative journey that led me to the 11th University Scholars Leaders Symposium at the United Nations Headquarters in Bangkok. It was a much-needed pause from the whirlwind of exchange programmes and work commitments that had consumed my past year, allowing me to reflect, once […]

This year, the NTU-USP Club’s Social […]
From JC to University: The NTU-USP Experience
If you asked me why I applied for NTU-USP 2 years ago when I first graduated Junior College, I couldn’t really tell you much back then. To be very honest, I didn’t know much about NTU-USP during the university application process. In fact, I was more concerned with getting into my main major, Communications, as […]
The Sounds of Chiang Mai
The streets of Chiang Mai sang with a choir of sounds, of chattering tourists, honking Rod Daengs, and the calling of street vendors. But at the heart of it all, were the sounds of passionate creatives who artfully strummed Suengs and acoustic guitars, who sang traditional folk songs and classic rock and roll. I remember […]
A Curious Experience
It is a curious thing to have your research be recognized beyond the classroom, and this is especially true when the course paper had been written on as unorthodox a topic as hair and its representations in art. A peculiar introduction, certainly, and yet strangely apt in encapsulating the humble beginnings of what would culminate […]
Unseen Opportunities and A Note of Gratitude
When I first got the invitation to write for an NTU-USP blog, I was told to write about my recent “success” in getting work awarded by the Global Undergraduate Awards. While the process was a mere submission – and some formatting to “deface” my creditors, i.e. my instructor Professor Nick Prior, it didn’t feel much […]
