- The victim behave strangely earlier this year, by playing computer game for hours and was seldom seen outside of his hotel room , cutting off all communication with his friends. He was also having problem coping with his FYP (Final Year Project) due to other modules that was too heavy for him.

Question 2:
(a) Is it very stressful being a student in Singapore? Explain.

Ans:
- Yes. Being a student in Singapore is quite stressful due to the work we face every single day, the co-curriculum activities (CCA) we had every week and every examination we sit every year, we are just as if running with TIME. Every second the time goes, there is something we must complete. As time waits no one, all we do, is to run with time, resulting lesser and lesser rest.

(b) What are some problems you face as a student which adds to your stress level?

Ans:
- Problem I face as a student might be the work given to us in school, unable to understand some of the subject, the time which is very limited and etc, all add up to my stress level but stress might not be always bad, it helps me to get motivated in order to score further and better, giving me a better chance to score ahead of other student.
