Now about Status Quo, my classes are typically 2:30 hours and also got a break between them. We call our classrooms as lecture theaters. Got people from all over the world doing their Project Management here. China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Burma, India, Sri Lanka, Greece, Switzerland, Finland, Ghana, Japan and of course Singapore and Malaysia. Its cool that I've got 5 people who could speak Tamil in my class as well. Not to forget two floating friends of mine from School of Computing who are doing a select module in my class. That's wicked.
Food, never felt far away from Home. We've got three tamil shops nearby. When I say Tamil shops I mean our typical Annaachi Kadai, with Tamil music and that unique smell which is totally Indian. You could get every spices, lot many choices with vegetables, you also get that famous food called maggie noodles and just about everything. You could also move your sorry self to a place called "Little India" which is supposedly Indian architecture and a little India within Singapore. Here you could even fund a powder mill to grind your traditional sambar podi and molagai podi. Yeah, all stuffs there but how do we go about preparing the meal, I guess we've got that covered.
Dinner is usually Chappaathis, Parottas, Rava dosais, Bread sandwiches or the excess rice, that was left over in the afternoon. We got Chappaathis and Parottas rolled and packed in frozen form, we got to heat them and eat them. Rava dosais are very similar to our own ready made maavu, just that this won't get that messy as it is with dosais. The fact that we use a hot plate and not a gas-connected stove makes a lot of difference. It's very slow and doesn't heat beyond a temperature. Yet, we manage to do regular south indian meals like kaara kozhambu, sambar, rasam,biryani, poriyal, aviyal etc. not to forget the omelettes and the Pickles which taste heavenly with all the food devoid of spice.
Now, with studies.Its going smooth. Pure concepts, management routines. Managed to roll out a few assignments and now glancing through a few materials. Need to kick up and start preparing notes, that will take me through to the exams. Did I forgot to mention that most of the exams are open book and I could carry any material written, printed or hard books on the actual day of exam. Sounds crazy, yet to test this on a real exam data, though have actually done this to a great degree of success ( unauthorized) during my UG days.
That's it for now, when people come and ask me, will you blog. I turn back and say "Can, can, Lah!" :)
