The wind and wings


This monument caught my attention the day I went back to NTU! Wanted to take a photo but I was rushing for time. Hehs. I got a second chance to do it because I had to go back to NTU again.

I knew it was for the YOG, but I really have no idea what the hell is this thing. But guess what, the next day after I took this photo, this monument was on the news!!

Oh, so it was called the Wind and Wings. Hmmm.. I can make out the wings, but, where's the wind?? Hahaha. I really cannot understand abstract art that well you see.

But heys, I realized something! This thing looks more pretty at night!! (Photo taken from straits time interactive.) Seriously, if I did not remember wrongly, I actually say a board saying something like 'take photo here' or 'photo-taking' right beside this Wind and Wings. Hahahaha! Oh, that was sooo obvious!

Okay, I really know that NTU is the YOG village now

Seriously, I knew that NTU is going to be the YOG village since donkey years ago (okay, I'm exaggerating, but you get my point). Then, I thought we will just provide the living quarters for the athletes. So, I'm not expecting what I saw in NTU now!

What already got me so ???? was the fences around the entire campus when I went back for the convocation on Monday. Oh, like seriously, WHY is it so FENCED? Hmm. To prevent people from disturbing the athletes? Or to prevent the athletes from disturbing the others? Hahaha! Can someone tell me why??


But hey, the changes to the campus did not STOP here!


I was going 'wah, waH wAH, WAH!' when I alighted at the Canteen A stop this morning. Haha. (Oh, FYI, I didn't take a bus to school on Monday, so I noticed it only now. Haha)


First, it's the covered walkway. Oh. WHY? I thought the barbed wires outside was crazy enough. But seriously, security needs to be so tight? I feel so enclosed when I walk up the stairs this morning! (iPhone doesn't really take great photos under minimum light. Please pardon it!)



But as I reach the overhead bridge, I was so amazed! Because, I love the purple! Hooray! That's really nice!! I felt like I was in some carnival! Hehs.



And then, as I walk further up, my eyes popped out! Erm, NTU is not really a school now right?




I wonder how does all the staffs enter the campus during the YOG period. Hmmmm.......


And then ar, I also realized that they did some renovations around the school. Thank you NTU for doing it after my graduation and not when I was a freshman. The directions around the school are so CLEAR now! My god. Haha!





Oh, I also see that the doors of the toilets are changed too!


I finally understand why the news said that NTU is really for the YOG. Haha.
