Now I've been in Singapore almost 7weeks and it doesn't seem like that. I feel that I haven't seen almost anything here yet.. I have still over 3months to go :)
In the first week in Singapore we had orientation days at our school in Nanyang Poly, it lasted 2days from Thursday to Friday. We had all kind of games in our groups and on Friday evening there was Nanyang Poly got Talent show, where the freshies performed their talents. :) For me it was good experience to get to know how different the orientation is here than in back Finland. Everyone was so noisy and shouting Oi Oi Oi all the time!! It was great!
The first weekend we went to Sentosa with all the exchange students and some of our buddies. The day was nice, although it took for us to go there over 4hours because the group was quite big and some did some grocery shopping in VivoCity the shopping centre where the train to Sentosa leaves. 
I did only suntanning and swimming but others also played volleyball and frisbee. After the beach We did skyride up to the hill and down with Luge. Luge is like a little cars which you drive down the hill. It was so great! I have done it once after that and could do it again and again!! After having some fun we headed to Pastamania to chace our hungry away with some pasta and it was so delicious! Yam! :D
I had my first two weeks in school only three courses of five courses so the starting was quite laid back, which was really cool. Now when I have all my 5 courses going on I feel sometimes so tired because of the ICAs, but it's worth it.
On 21st of April we did a city tour with the exchange students. It was arranged by the school and we saw the main places of Singapore and got to know some history at the same time. The tour lasted few hours and we discovered Little India, Malay town, China Town, Merlion and the Marinabay and some other places also. After that I haven't had the time to go back to China town or Little India although I've wanted to but I think I'll have time someday! :D Hope so. 
During the first week the school held a club crawl where they showed all the clubs in which you could join. There was lots of martial arts(taikido, judo, karate), dance clubs, drama, make up, chinese culture, german, volleyball and many others. I applied to international students club, Foreign Bodies which had an audition; Stage Arts, which also had an audition and the bowlig club. I got in to tha Stage Arts Dance which is jazz and hiphop dancing! I'm lovin' it very much!! We'll have performance coming in July, and I will post some pics and staff then. :) We've got practice every Tuesday and Thursday from 6:30om till 10pm the latest, it's quite tiring but still I'm full of energy during the class!
We visited the zoo with exchange students on 24th April. It was good trip and we saw lots of animals. There's also possibility to do a night safari which is little bit different from the usual. I think have to go and see someday. :) 
For me the greatest thing was to see the White tigers.They were so nice and brave looking. We saw also elephants, polar bears, kangaroos, lions, ponys, giraffes, zeepras, monkeys, crocodiles and lots of other species. I took over 200pics fromthe trip to make sure I'll have everything on memory :):) At the evening there was opening for the Marina Bay Sands resort and casino and we went there to see the freworks!! It was great looking although there went many thousand euros in the air, but who cares when it looks nice, right?
