Monday, I have a badminton session. In the afternoon, I have to go collect my Hong Kong stuff from a friend. At night, I have a dinner. Tuesday is a day to settle NUS tuition fee applications, and most probably a swim at JE. Wednesday and Thursday are still free, but Friday, I have a tea session with my primary school classmate(s). At 5pm, I have my dental appointment. If they have called earlier, I would have been available.
