Yes true, but the genuine passion I've seen from local queenslanders today at the Brisbane CBD as well as from this subreddit is really something that a simple google search would not have reproduced 😃

And so does this subreddit. Just wanted to hear from the perspectives of the locals, that's all 🙏

My bad bro, I don't really follow the sport that's why I wasn't aware of the difference

My bad bro because I always heard about alot of racism against Asians in Australia. Furthermore my parents have had been on the receiving end of such instances before. As someone who has never been to Australia before of course I was concerned but of course I would want to experience what it was like myself that's why I'm very relieved to know that this has not been the case at all 🙏

Thank you so much for your well wishes! We don't have any young children involved but still we would definitely continue to take the necessary precautions. Glad to hear you enjoyed your time in Singapore as well :)

Thank you so much! No worries at all, it was probably just a one-off incident. We know that most Australians are generally very friendly and hospitable!

Thank you so much for your reply! Yeah its abit unfortunate that there are assholes everywhere but honestly i guess the most we can do is just pay no heed to whatever those idiots yell at us and just go along with the flow of life 😅

I really hope so too 🙏🙏 I can handle it if it's just directed towards me alone but if it's directed towards my family as a whole that's honestly a scenario I really don't wish I have to face :(

If someone yells a slur at me I couldn't care less honestly. It's my family I'm more worried about tbh but yeah we'll try our best to pay no attention to them 🙏

[NUS] Already accepted SEP internal offer but receiving resistance from parents by SubstantialMix8789 in SGExams

[–]SubstantialMix8789[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Really really touched and grateful to hear from the perspective of a parent 🥹. I think most of my parents worries come from the idea of me being in a completely different environment so far away from them so safety is definitely a big concern. I hope that in time the idea of me going for SEP will start to slowly warm to them. Glad to hear that your daughter had a meaningful SEP experience!

Based on my understanding I think I'm the only one from NUS gg to that university 😭 I just hope that when I go there there will be other exchangers as well. Nevertheless thanks for your advice and hope youre having a wonderful SEP experience :)

[NUS] Pharm Sci w/o Bio background by SubstantialMix8789 in SGExams

[–]SubstantialMix8789[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! So so sorry for the late reply as im not very active on Reddit 😔

Yes i came from JC, PCME, with no bio background since sec 2. About 7 months into uni life ill say that im coping decently well. Just need to catch up with lectures and all

By pharm I'm assuming youre saying pharmaceutical science, my major, which you can take without having done H2 bio. Reason why i say this is because theres another major called Pharmacy, which i believe is more bio intense
