Monday was an eventful day, so eventful that I did not even have the time to post an entry for it. Thus, here’s one to make up.
It was the beginning of the e-learning week. Joel and guys had theirs during term 2 and I remember I was so envious of it back then. The idea of being able to stay away from that dreadful was just so soothing. Hence the day was finally here, but it was not at all slack. In the morning my group and I had to go to Temasek Primary to conduct our pilot test. Meeting time was 10 and I woke at 8+. It’s considerably early, taking into account that I slept only at 3 the previous night. Dallying, I got all the stuffs ready and set off at around 9. Despite that, I was there earliest. Our usual meeting place was as scarce with people as ever. So I waited and read the bible. This part wasn’t as applicable because it taught us how to build various structures for worshipping. The attendance was finally completed when Zen joined us at last. There was a little discussion for miscellaneous stuffs and rehearsed our skit before leaving for lunch. We had prawn mee for lunch, and it only cost 2 dollars. A good portion and a good taste yet only 2 dollars. I think I will be having that for quite some time.
From there, we left for our destination, Temasek Primary. We thought we would be late since meeting time was 1230 and it was already 1210 when we went to the bus stop, but just then the bus came. A short journey and then we were there. There was a domestic peacock at the entrance area! After registering we entered the compound and Zen went to settle administrative stuffs in the GO, while the rest of us waited at the resting area. I miss primary school so much. There were times when kids so small in size walked by. Era has changed. The bag most of them carried were around sizes near to that of mine, some of which even heavier. Looking at their overwhelmed frame, memories rushed back, but I’m not feeling nostalgic. Why would I want to return to such craziness? Isn’t childhood supposed to be a happy one?
At the resting area, we edited our powerpoint and set off to our allocated class 5D at 1300. Those students behaved in a way I least expected them to be. Things many years back are hard to recollect, but I didn’t remember myself to be really comfortable with strangers back then. But in the classroom, most of them were so lively and to some extent noisy. Kids these days are really outgoing, ain’t they? Before we went into the room, we took some pictures with my lappy. It was ths first time I used my webcam so extensively, but the effects were cool. When they were finally back from assembly, some saw my background picture and begun to speculate about it. Natural instinct told me to shut the cover=).
The event was sparked off with an opening talk by our leader Zen. But I was sure he wasn’t at all prepared, and I could tell that the English teacher was already pissed since then. Then we had this skit, which was quite hasty, but the purpose was met nevertheless. It was well-received. Then we had this game thing, where we failed to deliver the instructions clearly that in the end, there were two winner group and some conflicts. Due to that, we didn’t have enough prizes left, and had to cancel our last game. Despite the many set-backs I enjoyed the experience very much. Maybe I might become a facilitator someday, who knows?
We left the place at 1430, and the rain had stopped by then. Thus, we decided to resume our original plan- to catch the 1530 show (Red Cliff) at Tampines Mall. Zen and me discussed about Three Kingdoms during the bus ride. It was a nice show. I especially like the Kong Ming played by Takashi. I don’t know how to describe but the movie’s just so awesome! I like it a lot! Though accuracy of death still remains number one, but this is nice too. Some may disagree because the ending’s a little unexpected, or rather, the ending was missing. But I thought the flow of the movie was just nice, and if there was ever to be an ending, the movie would take more than 3 hours. The current one is already around 2hour 15 minutes. For people who like history and war, the show is highly recommended. Even for those who doesn’t, I think the plot of the story and the effects are worth watching too. The fact that the price of the ticket was 6 dollars added another level of wonderful-ness to the day.
At night, I tried to do my e-learning, and completed my Chemistry which was fine, Physics which I had only managed to skim past, and parts of GP of which the current affair quiz I only scored a pathetic 30+ percent. Then I confused Bao sby telling her about many many other parts of three kingdoms. Yay, someone else’s interested in 3 kingdoms!
