As 2016 approaches, we would say our goodbyes to our NCSH23 seniors. They have been the greatest help in helping us settle in, being our pillar of strength in the company and out of work. #cheesy #butwhatever. What a better way to celebrate our new year's eve by posting on SHEN blog right?!?! Kiddin, we all have a life. So.. part of saying goodbyes to our seniors, we invited some of our batch mates to say what they have to say to our seniors. And as you can see above, our friendship is t h a t strong. ...... Just kiddin..... We all have our own ways of self-expression. “Dreaded goodbyes are temporary, but our memories and friendship are eternal. Thanks so much for showing us the Shanghai way of life over the past few months! I wish each of you the best as you enter post-NOC withdrawal phase (next chapter of your life)! XP PS: good news is that y'all get to eat Scissors Cut Curry Rice!” - Zoelle from B24 Hmm, i wonder if you miss the food more or the senior more huh, Zoelle. But regardless, thank you for your well wishes! Nonetheless, putting all these bullsh*t aside, goodbyes should be done in a more sentimental fashion: to reminisce the Shanghai flavours of life which has nourished our seniors’ souls for the last 10 months. And there we have it, the more sentimental goodbye messages by NCSH23. - - “To me, Shanghai tastes of the beauty of the seasons, the curious flavour of nuanced conversations, the flashing yellow of car horns and city lights. Living in a foreign land for ten months has been an exploration of the world and myself; I am certain my experiences shall trace the footsteps I take, for they have become integral to how I now see the world. I thank NOC for this opportunity, and wish everyone in this program all the best.” “一米一香。离家来到中国生活,经历的点点滴滴各有独味。发觉一个陌生环境是个宝贵的机会探索世界,探索自己。这十个月在上海创写的故事已无时无刻浮现在我的步伐。祝好参这项目的学员,也借此机会对学校表示感激”– A testament of how Shanghai has improved our mother tongue. Think you need no Chinese in your life after your O’s or A’s? Think again when this Asian giant is one Chinese speaking money generating machine. “Indeed, we all came on this NOC journey with different objectives and some of us were filled with reluctance when we were first approached to help with these activities 10 months ago. But now, all I can see amongst us is a spirit of teamwork.” “My 10months journey in Shanghai was enriching! The difference one will experience doing an internship overseas is the culture of the place. Shanghai has surprised me with all the pushing, shouting and spitting. Nonetheless, I grew to love this city bit by bit. Shanghai has taught me to be forgiving and understanding of others! “ Goodbye our dearest seniors. I believe we have made some amazing friendships through our short stint together in Shanghai. Whatever happens, we know that we have all grown and have our mindsets changed. And you guys are the ones who will understand it best.
You guys will be dearly missed. As we look forward to the new batch 25 interns to come in, till we see each other again - in Singapore. With lots of luv, Mei En & Hilz

SHEN
申城 (shen cheng) is an ancient name for Shanghai.
As a group of NUS and NOC students who are in Shanghai for a year-long internship programme, we have named our student organisation as SHEN (Shanghai House of Entrepreneurs). Archives
