Today, is no other Saturday, where I would wake up and go for training. Instead, I did wake up, I did go to school but without my rackets. The moment I got off the car my dad called me and said ” 你怎么没带球拍啊？！” And I was like -_- dad how many times do I need to tell you that there’s a Chinese thing today and I can’t go for training!!!

I reached school at 8.20 which is actually very early and I walked about in school for the heck of fun and then finally at 8.30 more people began to come and by 8.45 all had gathered outside the auditorium and were filing into the biggest air-con space of RVHS.

First thing in the morning and I got extremely pissed off with someone already -.-

The first event was the year 1s and 2s 讲故事比赛. The year 1 classes I remembered 1B, 1I, 1J and 1L and as for the year 2 classes there were 2A, 2B, 2E, 2H, 2I and 2K. After 3 rounds of intense competition which ate 3 hours up, there was the thing we all waited for – lunch.

After lunch we went to the canteen to do mask-painting and very soon the whole canteen was filled with weird face people and people started playing with paint and drawing on other people’s faces and there was huge drama and chaos going about. I had a red dot on my forehead and 3 whiskers of red, blue and black on each side of my cheek. I was an Indian cat. I walked around and when I reached the 2G table Samuel suddenly yelled ” DAFUQ ” and all the boys started laughing at me and yifang was giving me this extremely weird look and lilin giggled and Yujing and Jasmine and Camilla turned around to laugh as well. Well it was fun though, and the paint was really easy to wash off because it comes off in layers so it won’t stick to your skin. Talk about good paint.

After that it was the games. There was 比手画脚, this use the straw and pass rubber band to each other thing and the paper plates game. We just totally cheated in the straw game ok. I represented my class for the paper plates game and the representative from 2C was Song Yu. I was supposed to close the paper plates while he was to open them. In the end after a minute all the closed paper plates were to go to 2A and all the opened paper plates were to go to 2C. Let me just say, it’s actually a damn tiring process and I ended up crawling and when the person said stop I just literally lay there cuz it was so damn tiring. In the end I got more paper plates than song yu 😀
After getting the paper plates, each paper plate had a few Chinese words on it and we were supposed to make an original, creative yet logical sentence from all the words. So more plates = more words = more room for logic and creativity! In the end we came up with this uber long sentence which I forgot.

Finally, it was the debrief and prize presentation for the 讲故事比赛. The short presentation on bicul studies really interested me… But I’m really not sure if I want bicul studies because I’m really not very into Chinese. But all the same it seems interesting, from the clips and the PowerPoint slides.

For the year 1 category, 1I came in third, followed by 1L second, and 1B champion. The guy in the 1B team was seriously pro though. For the year 2 category, 2H came in third, then 2E, then 2I as champion.

I can’t believe for the games part 2A actually came in second HAHAHAHA after we cheated so much. I bet it’s me who won us the 2nd right because I got so many paper plates HAHA joking. We had lollipops and fox sweets, and I took a cola lollipop.

Walked all the way to the side gate but it was locked. Tiffany Halim climbed out of the side gate and I’m like hey it’s climb-able! and so I did the same.

Took MRT to Clementi and ate Subway for dinner 😉 Roasted Chicken Breast with barbecue sauce is the best.

Tomorrow going lilin’s house for CID Oral presentation. Need to do well for that and written report because with our car test results like that shitty, we definitely need to do the rest of the components well in order to score well for CID.

I’m so tired.

Mum coming back from Shanghai tonight!

That’s me with the plain mask on.
