After Crazying

If you are my blog follower, or if you have contacted me recently, you will know that I had made a big decision in my life;
I was so lucky to get myself a full scholarship to study an International Master course in France.
Really appreciate it and it realized one of my big dream- going to Europe!!!!!
YES!!! I will travel around Europe in this coming 2 years beside my study.
That means, in this coming 2 years, I will not in Malaysia most of the time.( I miss Malaysia,truly!!!)
and YES, I will share my overseas study life at here.
=============================================
Still remember the day when I received the email of the offer of scholarship and university, I was so excited...
With attractive offers given, sure I will not reject it...( and I accepted it after some very very little considering)

Université Paris Sud, one of the well known public university in France, with it's research strength on Physics and Science.
I got myself this student card after registration. It's a new start of my life in France.

It's a very very very BIG and GREEN campus, with many trees, and all the buildings have some distance; even if you want to have lunch, you need to walk about 5 minutes to restaurant. ( In France, there no "bungkus" or "tapao" culture). Sometime, I felt this campus just like a forest....
Yellowish trees can be saw everywhere include in the campus during Autumn. The weather is cold in Autumn.....

Again, I must say that French people like to walk, and they walk a lot!!!! Here is the road from the train station to my university.

French people might think that drawing on the wall is an art, but for me it's ugly lol (and it's vandalism)....and you can find "those art drawing" on wall almost everywhere in Paris and also include in the campus. I really don't know how to appreciate this kind of art......

In the 1st week of semester , some clubs and societies were having promotion on their activity. Students were playing band to attract new students to join their club...( well, I didn't not join anything....)

Besides yellowish trees found in campus, I like this red tree!! ( In campus , trees are everywhere, LOL)

There are many entrances to campus. This is one of it!!!!

Bibliothèque-It's a Library; I don't like the entrance of library, because many students just smoke proudly in front of the library. ( Smoking in campus is not prohibited here, so it's normal to see students smoke )

A coffee machine, you can get a hot coffee in just 0.40euro.

Restaurant in the university, which is the place selling the cheapest lunch meal in Paris.

A whole set of meal will include a starter, main course, dessert, cheese( or fruit) ,a baguette and plain water.

Can you guess how much is it??

It's just 3.10euro!!!!! with a very very big portion.....

Overall the food is not so bad, with wide variety of choice, hardly to have similar meal in within 2 weeks.

and Here is the place I dislike the most- Exam Hall,( just an usual hall, nothing special....)

Exam questions...It's open book exam and you know that it's usually useless to open your book in this kind of examination. Why I need to study law???

Annoying French keyboard!!! see the photo carefully; you will know the reason; which always make my "A" turn to "Q".

I will share more about my Paris city trip very soon....
Stay tune~~~~

Throughout the whole 26 days in Taiwan, only 7days which having class. ( this exchange programme more like a trip than study)

But we can learn when we play, so I totally agree with this arrangement...Hahaha!!!

Overall we have 4 sections of Mandarin Class and 6 different Cultural courses ( which include Financial Market in Taiwan, Semiconductor Industry in Taiwan, Overview of Taiwan National Health Insurance, Textuality and Culture of Taiwanese Women, Taiwan Music and Taiwan Arts.

Some is boring, but most of them are interesting.

The Mandarin oral test given on the 1st day of class. We are going to divide into 3 groups according our proficiency of Mandarin language.

Here the notes of Cultural courses.

In one of the cultural courses, we learning the art of Chinese paper cutting. It's quite interesting but we didn't try to cut paper ourselves in class.

I like the Mandarin Class the most. It's not as boring as I expected. Language class is quite fun with some story telling, interaction between classmate and lecturer, and friendly lecturer who bring the fruit in every session of class. Here are "Taiwan Banana"!!! (It's somehow become famous fruits in Taiwan as Taiwanese Famous Rock Band "Mayday" ate banana in one of music prize ceremony, and use the banana to describe friendship. Lolz)

Mango and Pineapples!!! It's sweet and fresh!!!!

She even cooked this for us!!!! So touch!!!!

And Here she is!!!!! My Mandarin Class teacher, Ms Julia Liu. Thanks for her enthusiastic. We really like her class very much. Learn a lot from her....

Here the group photo with lecturer. Yeah!!!!!

Overall, it's fun to study without stress in this exchange programme. No exam, no test!!! It's the best news for a student. I wish I'm student forever if no exam is require...Haha!!!

After finish my last paper in my entire 3 years life in university, I'm lucky enough to be 1 of 99 students chosen to join summer exchange programme at Asia University, Taiwan.

Asia University is a private university located in Taichung, Taiwan. It is recognized in Taiwan for its research and teaching in Health Science, Computer Science, Creative Design, Managemant and Humanities & Social Sciences.

I really excited to get this offer, all thanks to International Student Centre (ISC) in my university. As a local university student, I always dream to go exchange in overseas while I stilll a student. My dream come true!!! Yeah!!!!

So, almost 5 hours flight from Malaysia to Taoyuan International Airport, It's nearly midnight when we reach the airport, but we still can see Asia University Students who wait our arrival. So warm!! It's another 2 hours journey to Taichung, and finally reach the campus!!!!

and here my hostel room, It's clean and nice, air-conditioned and hot shower provided. ( Air condition is only open at night...so it's HOT in day...)

There is no time zone different between Malaysia and Taiwan. However, the summer in Taiwan is much more hotter than Malaysia. The sun in early morning of Taiwan is just like Malaysia sun in afternoon.

and here the entrance of Asia University..

As it's going to be next tourist spot in campus, before I graduate from the university,
