NUS and NTU peeps
the weekend was spent clocking 10.5h and 10h of work each on saturday and sunday. it's total sian la and there's no pictures whatsoever to post and talk about. however, we did manage to finally start mingling with the rest of the NTU and NUS peeps. it was good because apparently they seem to think that SMU people are "snobbish" and "rich" most of the time, which is so untrue for us. or at least for me. anyway, NUS people seem to turn out to be the largest group of people.. like as always... it used to be all SMU people when we came first.. but after they all came, we became a minority with 11 out of 44 so far... which is like 1/4 only lor when there are only 3 schools. oh sighs. that's normal i guess.anyway, we got to know that better and had fun doing sai gang on monday. we went back to rebel yell to pick up trash and screws. we spent the whole day there... but no cute angmoh today. haha. but... guess what?? in our process of picking up trash.. we managed to pick up alot of coins... $$!!! they were those that were stuck in the soil la.. when we needed to pick up all the screws.
lady luck was shining on me that day and somehow, i managed to pick up more than US$2 during the time before lunch.. inclusive of a 1 buck note which i saw on the floor. haha.
me posing with all the money we found just before lunch.
we all look damn sian at work.
anyhow, the picking up of money thing sorta had some kinda motivation for us at work.. or at least for me. it also helped to build a rapport between the rest of us.. i guess? at least there was something to work towards to... at the end of the day, we picked up quite a bit of money.. probably between US$5-US$10? haven't count yet... but many of them were badly eroded and defaced that i don't think they can be used.
after sai gang... a group of us went to cici's pizza that was nearby for dinner. it's a pizza buffet for only US$3.99!! quite worth it i must say.. even cheaper than pizza hut buffet lor! and the food's not bad too.
AAHHHH... i'm eating!
the 4 of us outside the restaurant.
the first group photo with the NUS and NTU peeps.. there'll be more to come! heh. :)
overall, the NUS/NTU peeps are all pretty fun and nice beings. i'm glad we are all having fun.. after all, all of us are singaporeans away on a foreign land.. so should all unite! hahaha. i enjoy their company... though i must say the whole big group's really huge! ;)
