Singapore Trip 2009, Day 1&2

Hey Peeps

.

Finally im done with my BKK Trip..

After my BKK trip, it was followed by a trip to Singapore..

This Singapore trip is not purely a relaxing trip, it is part of work/uni.

I remember applying 4 this work & travel programme Spore in May.

.

I was happy to b selected 4 this programme

Since da requirement for this programme is quite high..

Requirements: A Distinction and above CGPA & a 500 words essay..

Besides tht, they only have 20 spots for students from 4 uni

(Taylors, Monash, Inti and Help)..

.

Btw, i only pay RM 300 for this 4D/3Ns programme

(subsidized by Contact Singapore-Organizer)..

.
