To those who care,
Yeah, I know it's late, but whatever it is...

Now, I had my dinner before I went to the famine. Yeah, I had Bak Kut Teh just outside the school ^^. Was quite full when I finished. So, got to school at around 6 and everyone's cleaning up for the event (when it's supposed to be starting the event). Anyway, we began the famine and everyone gathered at the basketball court soon. There were only forty plus people when we were expecting like seventy. Grave disappointment but it ain't the first time. Anyway, divided into five groups. Not that happy because it seems that most of the interactors present were 'hosting' the game and I'm a participant. Feels out of place, you see. Pushing that out of mind, I got into the participant mood and began to participate in the activities.

First 'station', was the chapel area. Yean Xin was there. Kz, so we began the game, lined up in a row, facing the person's back. The last person got a message (a sentence on a piece of paper), then he/she passed on the message to the person in front with only actions and no talking. The actions did in my group were really hilarious. Surprisingly, we got like one point. Miracle!!! After that, we got to the canteen, where Keangston and Bee were there. It was some singing in a different language. We got 'twinkle twinkle little star' in French. Well, the melody was the only thing we know. So we sorta crapped the whole thing fast. Sang the song by reading the words like how we read it in BM. I only know how to pronounce like certain words correctly. And Bee did not know how to sing it herself. But that wasn't the point now, is it? They just want us to look stupid. Plus there was the recording, I wonder if they still have it.

After that, we were told to be at the old block where Stef and Elsa were awaiting with pails and buckets of water on the first floor. Before that, we passed a group who was soaked in water. Well, I was thinking of the amount of clothing I brought. I only brought one nice set of clothing. No extras. Crap... Went there, took out my wallet and shirt. Stood there in range. The whole group was asked some stupid questions and got splashed, right or wrong. Jack sat somewhere behind taking pictures happily. Stupid guy. Eng Huat and Jer Min was shouting this and that. Surprisingly, I wasn't wet much. ^^ Next place was a class, Sarah's little game. There was a group there still. So we waited. It was a sign language game, where we see what word Sarah was supposed to mean. She forgot to time the group before us. Oops. Our turn. Blah blah blah, finished it fast. "Oh crap! I forgot to time you!" sigh, Sarah is so busy being mute she forgot the time. "Anything lar! Your group is the fastest group! From what I see." Oh, really...

Next was also in another class. Alex's bean separating game, separate the green and the red and get the smallest difference in weight. So we go separate everything and when the time came to stop, we weighed the thing and there was quite a difference. So sure gone already this game. Next destination, new basketball court. This time, it was Khai Wen's. The whole place around the basketball court, we must find our chosen coloured papers, where letters are written on it, and get the word formed by the letters correctly. The day was turning into night, the spotlights were switched on, and we still had not found. We went and guessed the words out of the letters Khai Wen gave finally, out of fed-up-tion. Final destination!!! 5W, the place where we look at nine flags on a manila card for a few minutes, and draw them out (including colour) on a different manila card without referring. Crapped the thing my group did. I wanted a better work, but, I can't expect much from my group...

After all those, we were to gather in the hall after we change and stuff like that. I did not bother changing. That was why I got to meddle with the drum there. My hands and leg can't coordinate properly so it sorta sux. So, I changed and bashed the piano a bit. Soon, everyone gathered in the hall, we had some short speeches by Mrs Peter and Mrs Matthews, then the jamming session. Here there everything, then we had a short Kim Horng "Tong Hua" singing with Bing Yuen's short piano playing. Enjoyed nevertheless. Everyone went around the school after that. I stayed in the hall, playing the piano. Some others remained also. Justin and Sek Yung/Yong (however you spell his name) were busy asking me to 'xi ngoi'. I got fed up and shut them away from my mind. It became worse when I stopped playing and Stef asked me to continue so that she and Bee and some other decorating the stage won't be bored. Quit the hall, placed my bag in 1P, came down and played a bit of basketball, den slept at around 12.30 am.

Woke up 'officially' at around 7 am. Couldn't sleep much anyway cuz the floor was damn hard, and the jeans had parts which made me ache whole night. Luckily Jian Han was far from me. Cheng Lee was playing dota in the morning. I went down and bounced the basketball a bit. There was a short gaming session at 8, or 9 o c'clock, I dun quite remember. I am quite lazy to ellaborate on this. So, we had the first titanic sinking, get into groups, and the losers are the ones that remained in the game. Don't get it? If titanic is sinking, why do you want to stay in a group and remain on the ship? The losers were to do the 'mississippi' thingy, where you use your backside to write the word out. Then, there was the game where the person chosen would say numbers and get rid of the group of people at a certain corner. Later, we had the walk from one end to the other end using only the given paper. We tore the big pieces of paper into pieces of big-enough-to-fit-under-our-feet-papers and placed it under our feet and moved accordingly. Next, the AIDS game where we get an envelope stating whether we have AIDS or not and we should find a partner to either AIDS-ify he/she. Then, we learn that no matter one person have sex one time or a few times, it is also possible to get AIDS.

Then, we had people from World Vision to 'lecture' on us about the famine. So after the long talk, we had free time all the way till the end of the famine. I don't really know what is there to do. The girls were watching lost in their room. I went to the hall and played the piano with Cheng Lee for awhile. Then, Cheng Lee left. I left later. AZA was playing monopoly with some of the boys in 1P. Everybody was trying to get her to bancrupcy. Some were dotaing. Two idiots were playing with "see who can divide the beans faster". I sat down at the bench on the ground floor and enjoyed the wind. Shut my eyes and thought of some things. It was calm and relaxing, furthermore there was a slight heat from the afternoon sun that added to the relaxation. This went on till around 4.30pm. Interactors all got the food out of the ert room and placed in in the canteen. We made our food and left it on the table. Sitting down and glaring at it. Sue Lynn toppled over her tuna filled bread, and juz cuz I was there, Jack began blaming everything on me. He's evil by nature.... Later when everyone's done, I sat down day dreaming. The food seemed to be mocking, "You can't eat me, you can't eat me. neh neh nehh neh..."

We had a group photo, before the feast began. After the group, we waited another few minutes and the feast began. I thought I'd eat much but I ended up bloated with just a four layered bread. I left the place at around 6.30, without anyone's notice... That's been my way anyhow...

So that's all to it that I think I would be able to write about. If you managed to read till here... congrates!!! You can go for the boring-reading competition!!!

When you begin thinking too much, you always end up doing the wrong things.
