Makan Makan + Introduction

Hello!

We are 5 months away from our Oshima trip! This week, we decided to meet up for dinner on one of the days at The Star Vista, Buona Vista. Prior to the dinner, while waiting for every one of us to end our classes in school, some of us decided to hit the books since the mid semester tests are just round the corner. Gradually, after everyone has arrived, we headed off to our makan destination for that night! A few of us couldn't make it for the dinner that night due to personal reasons, but we all understood their circumstances.

Initially, we had wanted to spend dinner at Manhattan Fish Market because Benjamin had the coupons which had attracting offers.

However, Rifhan suggested that we could "dabao" (take-away) pizza from Pezzo Pizza and we could go to the open roof top place situated at level 3 of Star Vista. We all agreed that that would be much more chill and informal for a mini gathering like this. With our hands filled with pizzas, gong cha bubble teas, Thai style drinks, as well as Benjamin's grapefruit-on-stick, we sat in a circle on the roof top area and began feasting. The area had a super calming vibe and it was very windy at night, coupled with the music that was playing from the vista's speakers, it was a very pleasant atmosphere indeed. The sky turned dark before we even noticed, but this was more chill than anything else because we started talking about literally anything under the sun (no pun intended).

Our Japanese friends have also been conducting presentations for the March MEL camp 2017.

The new team from Oshima college will be selected in July and they will be the one hosting and guiding us when we head over in October : ) 

That will be it for today!

Bowling!

Hello!

As mentioned previously, today we will be at the bowling alley.... Why?

We have actually decided to go for bowling this week, at the Singapore Polytechnic Graduates' Guild (SPGG). As suggested by Captain Raj, we arranged for us to bowl together because we felt that through interaction, we could better understand one another and forge a stronger bond between this team!

Indeed, we had a lot of laughter and fun trying our best to knock as many pins down as possible, all in the short span of an hour. To our surprise, bowling at SPGG is actually way cheaper than anywhere else! For 1 game together with the shoe rental, the total sum per pax is only at $4.20! Worth it : )

Enough words, here are some shots of the action going on!

Oshima 2017 (First Meeting)

Hello!

I am Calista, and on behalf of the new team going for the upcoming Oshima trip in October 2017, I will be the author for penning down our journey so as to be able to always re-visit our fond memories here : )

Today, we had our first ever meeting with Captain Raj, and our team consists of 8 members, namely:

1. Nani
2. Rachel
3. Calista
4. Darwis
5. Salihin
6. Sharif
7. Benjamin
8. Rifhan

During the meeting, Captain Raj introduced to us the proposed plan regarding the flight information, the cost of the trip, as well as the roles and tasks we have to take on. Most importantly, we were given time to interact with one another, so as to integrate and get to know each individual better! That way, we can be comfortable in the team, which is essential if we want the team to work effectively and cohesively with one another : )

In our next meeting, our team members will be hanging out at the bowling alley... To find out why, do stay tuned!

Goodbye!
