Yep, I went to LauPaSat last night. With HuiQi and HuiMin. A long overdue meet up, like all other meet ups. I think the most we ever ever met up was 5 times a year? HM's birthday, my birthday, HQ's birthday, Christmas and maybe CNY.

But we still have lots to talk about, lots to catch up on, lots to complain about. Haha. I can't say the same for some people who I see almost every school day and yet have nothing to talk about, not even a 'hi'. Oh well. Whatever.

Anyway, we went to the Satay corner, where a lot of ang mohs are, as well. Like all ang mohs like to eat satay. Wonder why. They ordered satay. Then there was zi char. Stingray, Ma Po tofu, Tom Yum soup, Pineaple fried rice.

But the highlight was the dessert. Mango Sunrise. The ice cream at the top was great! Really creamy. (:

Next weekend, meeting with HuiQi and Jack. Hopefully in July, we girls can meet up again. In the meantime, still got a lot of friends to meet up.

BUT BUT BUT! FOC is in a month's time too! I will be suuuper busy. Went to look at the restaurant at Temasek Club. Good ambience. The catering sales manager, Martin, was quite nice. No rent for the restaurant, they are going to block out the whole restaurant for us, waive the mocktail fee, rent the PA system for us for free, and lower the price of the buffet to $13 per pax, and waive the 10% service charge. It is quite a good deal but I have no idea where the catch is.

If given this deal at the start of the year, I would have gushed and said he's such a nice person and he's really really giving us such a good deal. But after the NUS Open House collaboration with CW fiasco, I am inclined to be more reserved in my opinions. Afterall, I have no idea how the business world worked and the collaboration was a disaster. I wasn't sure if we were on the winning end. We were more like the losers.

For now, FOC has a huge deficit. Which is why we should have stated a higher camp fee. Should have collected $55. $5 wouldn't be a huge difference for the campers but it'll be a huge difference for us! What with the high cost of food, lodgings, transportation, camp t-shirt and singlet, Temasek Club dinner, and the game materials. AHHHHH. I am going mad with all the limited budget we are given by the OSA and the high cost.

A CCA doing a FOC camp with lower participation target and lesser OGLs have a budget twice of ours! Where's the logic?! My friend said it's how the club treasurer fights for the money. I wouldn't know, but if that is the case, shouldn't we be getting more?

This is damn worrying. I don't wish for this year's FOC to be a flop. Dammit.
