Longggg day!

Oh why , HELLOOOOO!
Hmm...
Let's start.
TODAY.
I woke up at nine and went to sch at nine forty-five like that. Reach there at about ten (I think is before ten la). The p3 to p5s all having their sports day. How pathetic , shouldnt it b held at a stadium or something? It's held in sch... O.O Then I asked Mr Ong , who is distributing MILO , about bla bla bla. Luckily , I wore the correct attire , which is uniform. I went in... The others were already in the canteen. Most brought their handphones... Hehe... Me too! We played with our handphone for a while then went to library. Something hilarious I saw in library. Well , Jia Jun , Yu Jia and Yu Jia's friend (the boy from wushu and same height as him , forgotten his name) were chatting. U know that's a platform in the middle of the library and near the windows side there is a sofa infront of the platform. So , Jia Jun was sitting on the sofa while the two others sitting on platform. Jia Jun was talking talking talking and Yu Jia and his friend was looking at him , listening. LOL. It seemed like Jia Jun was the "storyteller" while Yu Jia and his friend were the "kids" who were "listening attentively" to the story. Why it gave me this impression is because of the height of Yu Jia and his friend (you know...) and Jia Jun sitting on the sofa... oh LOL. When I first saw it , I laughed and laughed then Jia Jun stared at me... maybe he was wondering why I'm laughing. Later , I pulled vanisri to see this "scene" and I explained to her about it. Then both of us laughed. I think all three of them stared at us. After that Vanisri told Jia Jun about it. LOL. I forgotten his respond.
At about ten plus , we went to the fitness room to take bags of toys. Big and heavy bags of toys. We each carried one to the bus. Er , not everyone carried one though. We boarded the bus and offffffff we go!
After a long journey... We reached Catholic High and once again , we all had to carry the bags of toys down the bus. And we waited under the sun for i think the guide for our team or whatever. Then later we carried the bags of toys
all the way to the hall. When we reach there , we unpack all the toys. Those which is not wraped were brought down to be wrapped. While the others whch were wrapped, would be arranged on the booth. I arrange until sweat. LOL. In between there would be some not wrapped properly or not wrapped at all , because we were still in the process of unpacking. After that we went down to the canteen to buy food. But none of the stalls was open. So we took a break before we start wrapping. After we had taken our break , we went back to the hall. When we arrived , it was empty... But when we returned , some schools had started decorating and arranging , or rather , almost finish. Beside our booth was Anglo Chinese School (Primary) and Pasir Ris Primary. Wah... Anglo Chinese School de toys like so new... and they were boxes of monopoly , board games , etc. All seemed like new. Some even said that they could be bought instead of donated. And their booth is... on the booth-top loaded with boxes and some soft toys , on the floor infront of booth , were boxes of toys stacked up. And for Pasir Ris Primary , all the pupils wore xmas hat. Lol. They keep taking group photo. Lol. Like that also take , like this also take.
Then... Started to wrap the presents. I didn't help wrapping la. But I was arranging. Then I ran up and down , down and up , up and down , down and up (Canteen first floor , Hall second floor) to take the wrapped presents up to the hall. Can imagine hugging heavy presents up the staircase. Hmm... Bcos I take lots of wrapped present in each trip up. And they wrapped a few stuff toys together in a present. Some huge some small. Sometimes there would be toys in a box , and it would be very heavy. Of course I wasn't the only one bringing the present up. There was this huge stuff toy (and I mean HUGE) which I saw a P2 girl carrying to sch one day. She donated it. And this HUGE stuff toy used up two sheets of wrapping paper , when normally a few stuff toys could be wrapped in ONE sheet of wrapping paper. I hugged it up. Ahh so cute!! Even the polytenic students helping to wrap said it was so cute. Lol. As I was saying , I hugged it up. SO BIG. :DDDDDDD and so cute! Alright , I'm repeating myself. I was exhausted from all the running up and down.
The next tiring and difficult thing was giving the presents away. Why was it tiring and difficult? Well , I'll tell you why. As you know , there were other school's booths too, obviously , not all the presents were attractive. The presents were wrapped in transparent wrapping paper so the needy children know the contains of the presents. I chose some attractive one , which seemed attractive to me , and went around the hall asking the needy children selecting their toys , " Do you want this?" Let me tell you , the hall is damn noisy and there was once the child couldn't hear me. LOL. When I hold the present and showed to the child and ask him or her if he or she wants it , the child would give an innocent look or no expression and shake their heads (thats the most common respond) and I would just
smile and asked ,"No?"
nicely. And the smile isn't those fake one , is those friendly and warm and expresses "It's okay" kind know. There were a few times when I offered a present and the child would respond by giving a HEH! look , er... meaning very "I then don't want" or proud and then shake their heads. That made me unhappy! But I still give the same nice repond mentioned above. Don't like also no need like that ma... Aiyo... But some would give me a bright bright smile and say "No..." and I can see it is not a pretend smile. This respond I like and not make me feel rejected at all , but instead , a little glad. Then that Jia Jun went around hugging HUGE soft toys (those a little bit smaller than the one i mentioned above) and offering it. He looked so funny! He was so so proud that he gave away a total of 20 presents. LOL. He went around and HAH HAH HAH! people... O.O He was soooo proud! And he kept on asking me how many I gave away. Ya la ya la , I gave away a total of 10 only O.O lol.
I was busy offering the presents that I forgotten it was lunch time. I was offering offering then suddenly I look at our booth , eh... nobody de... and I looked around , eh... nobody from our school either... Oh ya! They have gone for lunch! Then I quickly went down to canteen to eat lunch. :l I asked where the food and Jia Jun said it was upstairs... (he was the only one who replied me) So I ran up to get the lunch set. I ran down. I asked where's the spoon. He told me it was upstairs... O.O but luckily he took one extra so he gave me. Then I eat eat eat. Not bad la. In the lunch set was chicken , it is sweet one. I think it was cooked with honey or something. Pineapple rice , doesn't taste like pineapple rice although it is yellow. And long beans , I didn't touch it at all. I finish my meal. As for the long beans I dumped it to Jia Jun. Muahaha! There was no one else I could dump it too... mostly finished their meal. Then I went up. Continued with my job and went down , Jia Jun brought me to take ice cream (at the food and fun fair). I had a cup of ice cream and a packet of cookie! The cookie was nice! And Jia Jun insisted I give him a bit of the cookie for bringing me to the food and fun fair. O.O lol. He tasted it and said it was nice. Then run to the food and fun fair to get one packet. LOL. When I was about to eat my cookie , Mr Ong ask us to get the leftover wrappers up. He asked me to go help but I answered him "I very busy you know..." He replied, " Busy with what?" Then I showed him my packet of cookie. He murmured,"Busy with eating..." And gave me the very sigh face. LOL.
Oh ya. Throughout the trip , Jia Jun , Yu Jia and Yusuff (That guy from Jade. I think his name was spelled this way) were constantly disturbing me. Why? Yusuff was influenced by Jia Jun and somehow he thought it was amusing I had the same name as his teacher... :l Yu Jia from the start like to disturb girls already and Jia Jun? No need say already... Jia Jun and Yusuff kept wanting to take a picture of me. Ya , they took a picture of me without me having to be awared. Then Yu Jia? First he wanted to poke my balloon , next he teased me. Then... Jia Jun and Yu Jia took two big soft toys and come and "toy fight" me. I was holding a small box of doraemon playdough set then... So what I did was I ran around , avoiding them. Both of them were childish right? Exactly... Aiya... Then that Jia Jun kept saying "So sad , your buddies are gone..." I had no partner ma. So on the bus I sat alone and ate lunch alone too. So he said my buddies , referring to those I partner or be with , were not here. And he repeated that THROUGHOUT THE TRIP.
Around four plus , I've already lost interest in offering the toys. And by that time , all the toys were wrapped. So , I went to the food and fun fair to get another packet of cookie , balloon and tattoo. Lol. Then Nina , Faye and I also played the games there... So bad lo. Ambassadors cannot get prize one! So we only played , but no prize. And before we started playing the game called "Catch the Water Babies" , ambassadors from another sch came in. Then the game stall keeper was telling us that ambassadors can't get any prize but then she pulled a boy , also an ambassador from another school , and told us , whoever is the winner gets a kiss from him , how about that? And all the players were girls. So the girls went EEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Lol.
At about five plus. Whole thing finish le! :O Mr Ong said it was until six leh. Then we took group photo and went down to wait for bus... Was like... wait wait wait until so longgggggg. Meanwhile , there was a big map of china and few phrases beside it. Then Mr Ong was explaining to us the meaning of the phrases. Shamini and Vanisri wanted to learn chinese and requested Mr Ong to teach them. Mr Ong asked them to repeat after him , "我是猪" Then Shamini and Vanisri , not knowing the meaning , repeated , "我是猪" Everyone else laughed. Then Shamini and Vanisri were like what? what? what does it mean? Mr Ong then told them it meant I'm a pig! They laughed and went "Mr Ong you cannot like that la..." After that whatever Mr Ong asked them to repeat , they would be very suspicious and asked for the meaning. Soon after the bus is here!!!
Reached home at seven. And reached school at six thirty plus instead of seven fifteen.
Wah. My post sooooo long! :D Must be my longest post until now...
