I'm not a Cash Cow!
haha! last sunday! 29th october.
"Worried about the level of debt you will graduate with? Angry at Having to pay more than ever for being at LSE? Sick of being seen as a cash cow by the School? You are not alone. Join tens of thousands of students descending on London to take action. Departing at 11am outside Old Building for the walk up to ULU for the start of the march. Come early at 10am to help make placards, and get a free Union breakfast."
Breakfast was kinda measly, n there were only 20-odd pple from lse, including me n winston! (n of cuz we were the only s'poreans. haha!) i was kinda unimpressed at first.
but when we got to ULU, whoa it was realleh literally 10s of 1000s! students from the schools under Uni of London, pple coming from as far as scotland! wowowowow! n the march was damn long, lyk 2 hrs or sth. we were damn high at 1st then got sian... then high again whenever we saw pple n they waved their fists in support! haha!
it was lyk a controlled thing wif (acc. to winston the POLICE =)), no risk of being shot! so lyk the policemen cordoned off the roads for us and police cars led us in front and at the back too...
after the whole thing i was showing off to others (who thot i was mad) n steph brought up a beard-stroking point that well, if the fees were realleh waived, we (the foreign students) wouldn't be welcome alr. ya hor. heh =)
THE OTHERS vs LSE =)
the GRAND FINALE at trafalgar square... a looong time after we started.
shimmi n cheng came down to find us! but we were alr gone. apparently there was some big show n mass release of red balloons. aiyo. wonder if anyone realleh got shot.
