Hello!!!! Yes I am! To read um, Geography haha. Will be going to Trevelyan!

The other two are reading
1. History, Hatfield
2. E.Lit, Van Mildert

& Yourself? =D

oh wow that's great (: i was looking at the courses our local seniors are in and most of them are in law, so i thought it'll just be me in social sci. so glad that you guys are around!!

i'm taking archaeology and anth, will be at st cuthbert's (:

they said that they are planning a pre-departure gathering before we leave right? haven't heard from them lol hopefully we'll get to meet before we leave

Agreed 80-90% of SGreans who go there do Law! After abit of chit-chat I get the impression that we're likely to end up being familiar with some legal stuff even though we don't do it (Bonus for us eh haha

hey octopus, you got a return ticket? with an open date return is it?

did you guys book from STA travel? I heard it's cheaper...also, i heard air tix are cheaper in Britain so I was thinking of oneway-ing next yr and buy my return tix in England... what do the guys who are already in UK think?


another random qn: do prepaids in england come with data plans?(i take it that we can't sign monthly plans) cuz i'm planning to get an iphone

Im actually talking about STA Travel, it's a student airfare/travel discount store which has 2 branches, one in bugis and the other in nus science fac. I actually emailed them for a quote and it was 650+ inclusive for 1 way to London. Not sure if airfares are cheaper than Singapore there, but in a post above, Narev was speaking of 450 pound return tix?

I heard we can't sign contracts cuz our credit history in britain is not long enough. may be wrong abt that though.

dear chad,

it's Emirates/Etihad and Qatar airways for the cheapest fares. (+30KG baggage allowance.


this is the email STA travel replied me:

"Hi XXX,

Thanks for your enquiry.

Based on the date 16 Sept, the best one-way ticket to London is priced from $671 including taxes on Emirates. Taxes are subject to change and seats are subject to availability. A one-way flight to Manchester is priced from $788 including taxes on Emirates. So, flying to London is cheaper.

As this is a student airfare you will need an ISIC card. If you don't have one then you can buy one from STA Travel for $15.

If you have any further enquiries about the airfare or would like to make a booking, feel free to contact us."


yup. gi, you might have gotten a (slightly) better deal (1.2k?) with STA travel....

or...you could go with Malaysia Airlines (5 star airline) with $700 one way.

SQ is just wayyyy too expensive.

p.s. i'm only going next yr. I just like to find out pricing of airfares and airlines and stuff like that. it's a personal hobby to surf travel websites. on SAF time of course. (just like how i'm posting this during office hours.)

ohh the ISIC card, maybe that was why i didnt pursue the STA Travel route. I remember i had some purple pamphlet from them during the pre-dep briefing last year.

and by the way if TSR had a 'like' button just like fb. i would have definitely 'like'd your postscript. hahaha.
