The Malaysia and Singapore Society

First, went for the Ultimate Frisbee session at Hyde Park. Fitness is super lousy. Haven't had a chance to run after I got here. I keep using the cold weather and all the walking I have been doing as my excuses. But hey, I am taking the first step in taking part in the Ultimate Frisbee session right?

It was fun. I learned the game, better ways to throw the frisbee. Too bad I can't join in the following sessions because my Wed foundation module clashes with its Wednesday practices and my proper lesson has a face-to-face session the following Sat. Well, too bad for me.

Met an ex-ACS guy wearing his bright yellow T-shirt to the practice session. First year Medic. With gf at Imperial doing Chemistry. Brings back such memories... Sigh...

Anyway, there was also this Malaysian guy at the Ultimate Frisbee session. First year law. Aiyoh, another young kid!

Well, I still thank my lucky stars that I have 2 cute young men to 'escort' me to the meeting place for the Malaysia and Singapore Society walkabout and dinner. *laugh*

Oh dear. I never felt more old and decrepit. All the kids were 80% Law undergrad students, the other 19% Medic and others, also undergrads. There was only 1 other post-grad student, doing Mechatronics.

After a very short tour of the Waterloo campus, we went to the Maughan Library, very old, very imposing building. It's mainly for the Law students, with tomes and tomes of Law books. Very to the point, the Law Society is directly opposite the library and the Law Courts are behind it.

Last but not least, dinner was at Bayswater. It was a fine day for old memories...
