Yo, NTU PhD student here. I am about 5 cm shorter than you, still single and available (male, not female...).

We can go look for girlfriend together...

There are lots of events for undergrads.. Tackle the ones in class and student societies.. But you need to know your life plan and see if the girl fits into your plan and how much you can compromise. Do you plan to stay in SG after you graduate? Do you plan to settle down here? Looking for long-term or short-term relationship etc. Need to make sure you know yourself well before you start pursuing the opposite gender.

The girls here are more open and a little more sexy compared to the one in Malaysia... Just so you know... Need to be mentally prepared...

lol I am not asking TS to go to bed with the girl

Well if she loves you enough she will do it with you... I saw condom packages outside my hall's bus stop pretty often...

Whether they "do it" in hall or budget hotel or even their own home I have no idea.

That said, I am looking for more than sex in a woman. Recently one girl I met on XHS told me she likes me because she is sapiosexual... But whenever I discuss sex and post-marriage life plans with her she will just keep quiet... INFJ girl...

Let's see...

Very nice, I am in SPMS as well. Division of Physics and Applied Physics (PAP).

The gender ratio is very bad, the girls here are taken very fast... Business school will have a more balanced gender ratio, followed by engineering.

Arts, design and media (ADM) (far from SPMS) and Social science/humanities school (at SHHK building, just next to SPMS building) has a skewed gender ratio but towards the lady's side, so you might want to drop by those 2 places more often to look for your treasures...

You are exchange student? 2 months might be ultra-short term relationship

If you are active in sports yea that's a good idea. There are girls who like badminton, swimming, gym, cycling etc. You can play some games with them and have a short conversation, then exchange numbers. Don't be shy. If they voluntarily give you their number, that means you can text her and ask her out 2-3 days later for a meal and "discuss" further...

The girls here can excite your male hormone... for the unprepared ones... I am not joking... This is not conservative Malaysia... many girls here just wear bralets to the uni...

Wah not bad. Your academic background must be good. We can yamcha together when you are here. You plan to do research in the future? Sporeans generally go for engineering and not many wanna do Physics haha

As with all girls, unless you meet them through explicit dating-related venues like apps or events or social media (小红书, Instagram etc.), in normal day to day living, they may not be comfortable with your approaches as they don't know you.

Best way to start is still through classmates, work in group assignments, or sit next to your favourite girl etc. (I made this mistake back in high school and uni, mom says don't give girl commitment until you start working... )

Next thing to do thereafter is go for social events like sports and other clubs. There are lots of undergraduate student clubs here: https://www.ntu.edu.sg/life-at-ntu/student-...roups-societies

If you stay in hall there will be Residential Education programmes with a variety of interest, I joined ballroom dance at Saraca Hall last semester (learnt Waltz and Tango, managed to ask a girl out also after I got her number ). North Hill halls like Tanjong focuses on culinary, so if you are foodie can go over there. Other halls focus on art and gardening (like Hall 12), IT/programming, financial planning etc.

There will always be something for you, and in all events there will be girls coming. Don't be shy to talk to them and introduce yourself, your major, "country of origin", interests, accommodation. Lastly, grab the number.

Also, don't be afraid of rejections... some girls got boyfriend since high school already. Learn to respect them.

-----------------------------

Err in case you don't know or misunderstand. I don't mean bra... I mean bralet

These ones...

Some tips for you to survive in NTU.

Important Telegram groups include:

NTU Free Food Telegram group: https://t.me/freefoodntu

NTU Marketplace: https://t.me/ntumarketplace

NTU Student Hub: https://t.me/NTUstudenthub

NTU Gobek car-pool platform (you still need to pay... more like an unofficial Grab service, usually guys will pick girls up if they have a car... and it all starts from there...): https://t.me/ntugo

1. If you stay in hall, NTU halls use the stupid ancient "$1" coin system. NTU Office of Campus Housing (OCH) is kiasu kiasi, they never bother to upgrade the system to smarter ones like using student card (which doubles as Ezlink card/NETS card) or Visa/Mastercard as they are afraid of the vendor (Maytag) will raise the price.

To get $1 coins for your laundry, you may WhatsApp this number (+65 9633 1827) and exchange for $1 coins free of charge. Each packet comes with 50 $1 coins, which you exchange for exactly 50 SGD. You can exchange in multiples of $50 SGD as well, like 100, 150 SGD etc. The person will come to the front lobby of your hall to you deliver your 50 SGD notes in exchange for packets of 50 $1 coins.

2. It's wise to invest in a refrigerator during your stay at NTU. Food is free in NTU. This is a top secret... No one tell me until I join that Telegram group... During semester breaks like right now, there will be lots of events happening and you will have lots of free food to grab. The food can either come in the form of bentos or buffet leftover. Always bring with you food containers stand by to collect the leftover food. Keep a sharp eye on where and when events might happen in campus before the food details are posted on Telegram.

When semester begins, the free food will usually be taken and cleared in 5 minutes...

We can chat more if you are interested, I got a lot more secrets to share with you haha

When they talk to you (especially foreigners), they will usually ask if you are from Singapore. They can tell from the slang.

Then you just clarify you are from Malaysia (give cities' description like KL, Penang etc. is also fine)

Nothing negative about "country of origin", some foreigners may think you come from China as well haha.

---------------------------

It's not half eaten... I mean buffet spread, very large buffet for events like conference, talks etc. There will be separate utensils for participants of those events and separate serving spoons for each tray of food. So there is no contact between your utensils and other people's utensils.

Of course for smaller events bentos will be provided instead of buffet.

You don't have to keep the food for months. My 43L refrigerator (which I turn into a freezer, since the food will spoil easily, I turn freeze the food so that it can last for weeks) can store about 22 boxes of food (plastic container of 600-800 ml each). With 2 boxes of food a day, my inventory can last about 10-11 days.

I follow the FIFO (first-in-first-out) inventory management principle to manage my food. Always eat the oldest dated food first, then clean the food container and use it to store new food (if available). The new food stored is then eaten last.

Here are some photos of my "freezer":
