Did some calling up for sponsorship matters. I gave myself a half day off as I completed it quickly.

Warmed the seat for the programmers' meeting before going to Marina Square and did a last minute shopping for Joseph's present.

As for dinner, the met up the usual MSE people (minus Gregory, who's 'eating air' in China). Ended up at some hotpot buffet thingy. Had a change of seats because the initially we are stuck in one corner of the store, facing the walls. Finally, got seats outside the store with a nice view of the cityline.

After some warming up (and lots of food), Juncong finally got into stride and began thrash talking. I guess that's what we had been missing for the entire semester.

Met up with the FOC people for canvassing on an early Saturday morning in Admiralty. Did a few blocks before the whole fiasco with NJC paddlers forced us to stop for lunch early.

After lunch we did blocks that the NJ people didn't covered. And guess what, the Karung Guni man already covered them. I remembered doing an entire block and ended up only 2 stacks of newspaper and 1 tiny bag of clothes.

Saw a amazing huge stuffed white teddy bear sitting in someone's living room. Definitely larger than any of the girls in the group. This actually caused the girls to go 'wow so cuttteeee' and so on. Luckily the owner didn't come out and chase us away.

This year's newspaper collection wasn't as tough at all, there's like hardly anything to collect. But I heard good money was made.

Fell sick when I returned home. Fever, sore throat and runny nose. Still feeling the effects as I woke up this morning but was much better than last night.
