This Saturday evening our project group went to the NUS halls to distribute questionnaires. Our group consists of four members and we divided into two little groups. I and Huang Yuehua were supposed to convey Raffles, Eusoff and Temasek Halls.
Firstly, we decided to integrate the Raffles Hall. It turned out to be very successful thanks to Huang Yuehua bumping into his senior. The senior was very friendly and told us something about life in NUS. After finishing his questionnaire, he led us to a study room in Raffles. There were many students. The locals were very outgoing. They studied together and made interesting comments on the questionnaire. We also investigated some PRC students. I think they were hardworking and quiet. In a nutshell, we finished the task in Raffles very smoothly.
Then we took a school bus to Eusoff. Its facilities were better than those in Raffles. However, it was a little more difficult to convey. We found a computer room but the three students were busy playing computer games. I had to force myself to converse with them. Finally they finished it but one of them was so careless that he made a mistake. So that one had to be wasted and I had no courage any more to investigate him again.
During the survey, I got to know more about the life in NUS halls. I met a lot of kind-hearted seniors. Their lives were fulfilling. Some of them were preoccupied in their own band. One of them was playing the piano carefully. Some of them were enjoying a bowl of chicken soup they made themselves in the hall kitchen.
We took a taxi and got back to ETON HALL at about 8:30p.m. We felt happy to finish our task though we were tired and hungry.Hope our group can manage the projeject and enjoy it.

It is very funny to see that your comments of local students are" they are very outgoing", it reminds of the lovely little pupils you taught in you Give Programme. I have the same feeling as you. Local femail students often shout in a loud voice, hah hah. Thank you for some clues you mentioned in your blog that in the computer room there were some students playing computer games, I have already noted it down. Hope you reseach group will do an excellent job!
