Collecting Newspapers and Poly Gatherings

I became a karang guni man on Saturday!

We had a fund-raising effort for FOC and went around the Ang Mo Kio estate collecting newspapers door-to-door. That was the first time I did it so it was a real eye opener for me. We didn't managed to hit the expected manpower turn-out of 50 people (only about 14 people turned up...) but hey we managed to pull the event off! Thanks to everyone for putting so much effort into the event! I know it was really tiring having to climb up and down stairs with the newspapers and clothes and electronic equipment and all but it will be well-worth the effort when the camp comes. The event ended at about 6pm and I went off to Kelly's place to grab a shower and change of clothes (no, I brought my own clothes) before heading over to Shimin's place for....

The annual poly gathering! Well it's not exactly annual but anyway... Saw everyone there again after soooo long. Kelly came along and I'm glad she managed to mingle around with my friends. We had dinner there as usual. I always end up too full whenever I head to Shimin's place. We did the usual catching up and gambling then went off to Cafe del Mar to chill. That place really sucks to the max. The music is totally off and the drink prices are ridiculous. It's no wonder that place is empty on a Saturday night. I don't know if that is the usual case but in my book, an empty place on a Saturday night is usually not good for business. I think it is only a matter of time before that place closes down. We ended up heading back only at 4 plus am. I was super tired by then. Physically and mentally exhausted by all the work in the afternoon and having to stay up till so late. Not to mention I only managed to grab 5 hours of sleep each night for the past 2 nights. Here are some pictures:
