Natalie in the board games room |
I was fascinated by the board games room in Lien Ying Chow Library. There I met Natalie, a business student who is paid to staff the room. She is also part of an enterprise project in the Business School and was successful in being allowed to start an “enterprise” tuck shop in the room. Proceeds allow her team to go out for occasional evening meals as a team bonding exercise.
Board games are popular in Singapore and it seems many students enjoy playing them in gaps between lectures. The room holds most common board games, such as monopoly, cluedo etc and is apparently very busy in term time.
