~ Open House 22/1/05 ~
11:37:00 pm
Hmm... I feel kinda lazy to blog these days... Actually, I have lots of things and ideas to write about but the laziness just overpowers more... *Haha... Lame!*...
Anyway, yesterday, my class was assigned to do ushering (again!) for the NYP Open House from 9am to 1pm... As expected, only 5 people from our class turned up... The whole thing was very slacked since most of us were held in the command centre to wait for our duties... We practically sat there for 2 hours doing nothing... Well, Sapphire and I were reading books whereas Fione was sleeping on the floor... There were parts where she actually s----d (not stated in order not to embarrass her, but if you can figure out then go ahead...), both me and Sapphire were deciding whether to wake her up before it gets louder... *Hehe*... So after sitting there for the whole 2 hours, Fione and Sapphire practically dragged me along to walk with them since I was reluctant to move...
We walked around aimlessly the school... Finally, Fione saw The Apprentice notebook at the 'Amazing Race in 18 Minutes' booth... Since she wanted it badly, we had to play the game in order to get it...
So first up... The Europe station... We went to the German Club booth... We were asked to put the correct words to the correct pic... But the words were in German... Of course it was a simple task since Fione had memorised it... *Hehe*... After getting the chop, we were allowed to do a heart-shaped sewing, paper-cutting or decorating a gingerbread... All of us did the heart-shaped sewing in which my sewing skills sucked... Fione had to stitch up for me in the end...
Next, we went to the French Club booth... We had to create the Eiffel Tower using straws... *Haha*... The higher we go, the more time we will get...
Second, we went to the Asia side... There, we only did one game under the Sakura Japanese Club which was to throw the small hoops into the small pole... I managed to throw 2 out of 5 into the pole!! *Hehe*... Then we tried some Japanese sticky dough...
Third, we went to New York!! (Like real... Hehe)... It was only beside Asia so there wasn't a problem getting there... We first went to the student union where we had to answer questions... Next, we went to the Ambassador team (i think!)... We had to use chopsticks to get the plastic animals required... One of it was a crab... Then, we were told to find a turtle... Kept searching and searching and searching... Each and everyone of it... Until Fione saw a drawing under the bowl which was the turtle... *Damn!*... That took away some of our time already... We did some other games too such as guessing the leaders of some countries...
Fourth, we went to Athens which was under the sports side... Tried our hands on floorball... *Fione, you almost slapped me with the stick...* Then, we had to play the memory game with the netball team which almost caused the rafia string to be pulled down due to my roughness... Aimed to throw balls into the cup with the Track & Field... And the last was to transfer marbles in a water-filled container using chopsticks with the swimming team... Of course I was bad at that...
Finally, Down Under... We guessed some stuffs like the stars, planets with the Astronomy Club... Played tug-of-war or rather, "tug-of-peace" as claimed by a member of the dragon boat team... Actually, I met Zarina, a friend from sec school who told us not to play... But for the fun of it, we did... We lost the first game but won the second (they let us win actually)...
And of course, we traded the piece of paper for The Apprentice notebook... *Hehe*...
Anyway, thanks Fione for accompanying me to have lunch despite you having to rush home... Sorry if I kept giving you the irritated look but it's true... My patience is reaching its peak soon... *Hehe*... Thanks very much, and thanks for being my friend... *Muacks*
