For this outing, we scheduled it at the beginning of the semester to help new members better cohere with the group.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>We enjoyed both the beautiful river view and the pizza! We were happy to see the return of our alumni, especially &lt;a href="https://wing.comp.nus.edu.sg/author/hengchang-hu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hengchang&lt;/a>, &lt;a href="https://wing.comp.nus.edu.sg/author/chuang-li/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Victor&lt;/a>, and &lt;a href="https://wing.comp.nus.edu.sg/author/ibrahim-taha-aksu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Taha&lt;/a>, as well as our collaborator, Yunshan. We especially thank Hengchang (a WING PhD alumnus) for his generous donation of the pizza (and other items on the bill as well)!&lt;/p>
&lt;p>&lt;em>Below is a gallery of the outing, photo credit to Yajing, Glenda, and Yisong!&lt;/em>&lt;/p>
