沈楠菲Shen Nanfei-Acute gastroenteritis

Last Saturday, I accidentally drank decayed milk. After a few hours I began to feel uncomfortable and kept throwing up.

The school has given us a detailed introduction about how to go to see the doctor in Singapore in the first few days after we arrived this country. But I have never thought that I would get ill in Singapore because I was always healthy and seldom got sick before. So I didn’t listen carefully. The only thing I knew was that clinics was popular in this country and only if you got severe illness can you go to the hospital.

Got sick in a different country was a terrible thing because nobody could take care of you and drove you to the hospital. I gave up going to the clinic since I was too uncomfortable.

Thanks to the help of a friend who studied medicine. I told him about my symptoms. He said this was Acute gastroenteritis and vomiting was caused by the body actively excreting pathogens, so what I needed to do was keeping drinking water to prevent dehydration.

I followed his order. After keeping lying in bed for half a day I got well gradually.

吴欣科 Wu Xinke – thinking about future career

We are about to leave, and I begin to think about what I have done here, think about what I failed to do as planned as well as what is my future career.

I have to say that for a very long time I was not so positive due to fear for my future. I don’t think I love my major in ZJU, and I regretted for my choice when choosing the major. I began to be careful about my decision and I tried every means to go beyond my comfort zone, trying to do what I could be doing if I didn’t choose Industrial design as my major.

But gradually, I found that I chose this major out of pure love for design, and actually I am still passionate about design now. I do programming for fun, but that is also a kind of interest. So, I think I should make full use of my potential in design and coding, and do projects that not only require coding skills but also require good design.

Finally I decide to pursue my dream as a UX designer, and I hope I can pass the apply for MHCI, CMU next year.

We decided to visit the shop to learn more. The shop is far away and we take nearly one hour to reach the place. After understanding our intensions, the shop owner warmly welcomed us. We had chat with her for nearly 40 minutes. She told us that the Singaporean environmental awareness is geting more and more strong. She believed that although her persistence is small to the society, it will come to effect one day. Her belief deeply touched each of us. Environmental protect requires each one of the social members.

林莹 Lin Ying – My iUROP project

My iUROP project has made significant progress, and I would like to thank all the members of the project team, especially Chito, for the interesting cooperation with him. In this project, my main job is to design the UI. But we’ve talked a lot about what this project means, and how to apply the results of the sociologists’ early work to the design of our later applications.
This project aims to strengthen the interpersonal relationship in the community, which is a concept I like very much. How to get people to connect outside the world of virtual social networks in a more robust and realistic way is a very interesting topic. I am honored to participate in this meaningful project and contribute my share to it.
