    It's been a week after the member boom. And there have been a few requests for meet ups in the shoutbox since then. It's time to let meet up, have a cuppa, play some game, chit some chat, and get to know each other.

    Even though my FYP thesis has been handed it, my semester is still about 2 weeks away before end. I still have 2 other major projects to hand in in these 2 weeks and FYP project presentation to be done. I would only be free when study week starts, so tentatively, I'm setting the meet up date as 13th of April (Friday the 13th) unless there are some violent objections. I believe this also would be the best time for NUS students to attend.

    It's 2 weeks away, so we still have some room for discussions and planning for the meet up.

    First, venue. Any suggestions?

    i'm clueless when it comes to places to eat. but i think might have to look at how many ppl can make it first, see what place can accommodate the (possibly) huge turnout.
    unfortunately i can't make it on the 13th. my friend's birthday.

    Shall we hold it on a weekend? If not we do it on monday (16th) like the first meetup?

    Sending this from phone. Let's see if this works.

    Weekend is good! Let's find out how many people are willing to attend. Then we can decide on the place. Like tstar said, if a lot of people, then need to find a big place.. :)

    @dk99 not really sending from phone but through phone browser via 3G. Was out since morning so had to check the forum from phone.

    I thought normally people would prefer to reserve weekends for their bf/gf/husband/wife/son/daughter/dad/mum/grandpa/grandma that's why I've never chosen weekend in the first place. I thought people would be more likely to be available after working hours on a weekday.

    Ok, let's do a sign up.

    Will Monday (16th April) be a better day?

    I think it would be. Meet ups should be held on a weekday after working hours so it's more likely that people would be available, IMO.
