Nestled near the southeast corner of the Cairngorms National Park and about an hour’s drive from Dundee you will find, what most would call, a gem. A massive, frosty, glistening, gem. They call it Glenshee Ski Centre …or as I would refer to it, That Place That Tested My Patience. When most people hear I am from […]
Hello again! Since my last post I have been pretty busy and there has been a lot going on. I had a great time at a 21st birthday party for a work friend and fellow Dundee Uni student and I also received an offer of acceptance onto the Postgrad Masters course I had applied for!! […]
As a student from Singapore, Chinese New Year is one thing we are used to celebrating every year. This 2 week long festive season is a fun filled time of eating and meeting new friends. In Singapore, Chinese New Year is always a big thing, you will see decorations everywhere: on the streets and in […]
Hello! Hope you are all now settled into the semester, I know I’m definitely getting there. This week’s focus for me has been working on my Postgrad application which is very scary stuff! Monday’s class was great- very informal three hour discussion on the authorship of texts and how the author’s reputation can impact […]

Happy New Year! I hope the festive break treated you all well, and you were able to enjoy some home comforts over the holidays- although, with it being over three years since I flew the nest, the couple of days I spent back home with family over Christmas were more than enough for me! (The […]
Welcome back to Dundee guys! How you all had a great festive season! My break was great! I got to go back home and even spent a week in Sri Lanka. Ahh, how I miss the warmth and sunlight! But to be fair, I was very happy to come back to Dundee, all refreshed and […]
The other day I recalled that although I had lived in Dundee for a year and a half now I hadn’t visited the small town across from Dundee, Newport-on-Tay. I knew the trip might take a while, as I planned on walking it via the Tay Bridge, but it was well worth the walk for […]
Only three days until I travel home to see family and friends for a whole festive month, but who’s counting! I am so, so happy to get home and see everyone. You know that feeling in your chest that makes you choke up a little when you think about seeing everyone for the first time […]
ATTN: Every single American to ever become a student of University of Dundee. And I’m only speaking exclusively to Americans because I barely know how the rules relate to my own country (hence the pickle I was in), much less how the rules relate to any other country. On September 13, 2016 I moved to […]
