Busy weekend.
Yesterday was the MSS Nottingham Games. I volunteered to help out at the Food Fair at Portland Building. I had to get up at the ungodly hour of 6.45am! And when I got there, I found the bloody place empty! Guess what?! Everyone else was running late! What the fuck! Grr!
Things were pretty slow till about 10am, when chaos just erupted. We had to take orders from the volunteers and players at the sports centre and deal with price changes or discounted prices from the stalls. Even though there were only 6 stalls, it was hell trying to organise everything properly. Singaporeans are really not very nice people either. (Not all. Some.) Out of all the people working with me, only about 3 of them were nice. (2 Singaporeans, 1 Mexican.)
My shift ended around 2.30pm, so I got lunch for Woody, who was playing badminton, and walked over to the sports centre. Turns out boots aren't that comfortable to walk long distances in. Look nice, hurts like a bitch.
Watched Woody and Jon (!) play a doubles match against these 2 other very aggressive guys from some other university. They won the semi-finals and then Woody ran off to play squash. He won that match, but only came in 3rd place overall. After that, he went back to play the badminton finals with Jon. Lost that one. I don't understand the scoring system of badminton. I only play, albeit lousily. Hehe.
After the prize-giving ceremony, we walked back to Portland Building for the thank-you dinner for volunteers and players. But when we got there (after being caught in the freakin' rain), we found a long line of people who weren't from Nottingham University. They all thought that the dinner was for them too! Dinner turned out to be a disasterous disappointment. But pizza came to the rescue shortly afterwards, so it wasn't so bad.
We took a cab back to Newark afterwards. I was so tired I promptly fell asleep after washing up. Totally knocked out! I only got up around noon today, which was spent doing absolutely nothing, except my laundry, which was 3 weeks overdue. I'm such a lazy pig. Sigh.
Back to my Law case briefs. 6 more to go. Argh!
Looks like I'm going to Amsterdam this December after all! Woo-hoo! (Guan, u're going to kill me, right? Hahaha!)
