The devil made me do it

After the mandatory CIP activity, I joined the 11 other Scholar's Cup participants in Bing Huan's house for a mass study session. The other 11 are:
- Bing Huan + Yue Zhi (+ me)
- Judy + Ying Xian + Yixian
- Ruijie + Vina + Peiyu
- Berlinda + Meng Shuen + Mei Hui

Scope of Subjects: Fine Arts, Economics, Astronomy, Math, Literature and History

The Econs team was great. Summarized 1.5 years of Econs work in about 2 hours coherently and they also managed to make it seem so commonsensical and interesting. Although most economics students would love to refute this statement.

After that we forced ourselves to do a trial debate session. Despite Ruijie's good tips and advice and clear instructions, it seems that he can't change the inevitable in a matter of minutes.

Instead of heading back home to prepare the notes for the common good of the teams, I hopped on the bus and subway to Orchard with Meng Shuen, hoping to cash in on the Borders membership card which Jun Jie was carrying, who we would later join. Along the way, I learned that he is a Clinton supporter (the 2nd one I found, after Wenjian, who's not that ardent in supporting her) and he does eat his vegs (while consuming a McChicken). (Grr! But on 2nd thoughts, my unconventional dietary habits are pretty much on the brink of insanity, and anyone who wants to challenge that is pretty much deserving of a place in a hospital for the rest of his/her life.)


Met Jun Jie at Borders. Turns out I can't find the stuff I need, and instead have to serve as his 2nd pair of hands. (I already have issues holding stuff for girls, much less a guy..) A short trip to Kino for those guys to buy more books. Made my way home after that unfruitful trip to Orchard. Still reading Scholar's Cup material as of now, though the chances of anything registering in my brain is probably a mere 1/1000th of the odds of throwing a 7 on a single die.




To tie in with Scholar's Cup prep, I shall dedicate this song to the other 11 DHS participants.
