amidst the crazy schedule, yas and i went down to NUS university culture centre to take part in the first ever Tata Crucible International. It's a business quiz competition and it is also the first time they are having it in Singapore.
The prelim rounds saw 150 teams of 2 all seated in the auditorium where the quizmaster nicknamed pickbrain revealed each question on the big screen.
