There's no cca on this coming friday so you can probably take this chance to go and visit the historical places*** Or if any of you are unsure, do ask your PLs, or Lee Jia, or Syakirah to clarify your doubts :) We are giving you the week and weekend to do the local history and badge, so do manage your time wisely. Do help spread the message if any of your friends are not notified by Whatsapp to check this blog post.
