What will you do after you graduate?
There's a common trait among majority of the local NUS undergrads that they are obsessed with going to Europe for their graduation tour. Just grab any that you see in the campus, pop the question above and voila.....Europe is the answer.
I must admit myself that I've been dreaming of going so Switzerland to see their beautiful landscape since I was ermmm.....10 years old? Europe is rich in cultural heritage, filled with temperate flora and fauna, there's simply so much to see and visit for a Singaporean. Tempted as I am to go, the cost is the main deciding factor. Some folks just scrimp and save while studying, some opt to apply for FML (father mother loan), and some work part time to make up that few thousand dollars needed to tour the continent of their dreams.
What do I do? I'm lucky enough to have some unused money in my bank given to me generously by my grandpa (who favours his grandsons very much), which was actually meant for my studies. Not that I'm complaining though. I'll be graduating in 1 year's time and I doubt I'll touch those assets in the near future. Europe, here I come!
It's a nice and bright Wednesday morning, and I'm stuck inside my FYP lab blogging away about where to go for holiday, while everyone else here is doing their work. Something is wrong with all these people. I should make them read my blog.

I'm sure my grandpa doesn't mind having a godgrandson, but I doubt you'll get any "scholarships" from him =P
