Hi.

I think i'll just talk about the APMOPS in today's entry.

Okay, i arrived at school at 10 today. All the groupings were changed again and after knowing the new groupings, some people desperately wanted to switch groups with me(I was in-charge of foreign girls). Okay, i refused... Then we were like slacking all the way till 11.30 before we headed to the canteen to take our lunch.

The lunch was good. Rice, chicken, fish and some veggies. Really good. Then upon finishing the food, the participants arrived. I did not really know what to do, but later i saw nicholas phang already bringing them to the lt2(girls are to come here and boys, to auditorium). So i walked along behind with wei xin(he, me and nick phang are one group).

At the lt2, i held the door for several groups of girls... Then after all of them went in, we went in too(Did not sit with them of course, we sat at the last row). After that two girls from NYGH and a teacher started a talk, which they about the how good their school is, their students, teachers, how kind of them, how fun it is in their learning environment... 'propaganda' i should say. Then later the talk ended and they left, leaving them under our charge. Jing Kang went forward first to read out the names of the prize-winners. On one occasion he made a mistake, it was damn funny. He was asking 'Any one from philippines here?' There was no answer, so mrs ke told him to just read out the name. So he goes, 'Frederick' loud and clear without laughing. The rest of us were all laughing(you know that all the girls are to be in lt2 and all the boys in auditorium). Shortly after, we said that they are going on a tour and most of them were like, 'Huuhhhh...' Lokky then get the girls into their two groups, and we were ready to go. But before leaving yuan chang acted cute and got all the girls laughing... I should not elaborate more, but maybe that cheered the girls up and made them more 'excited' about the tour.

The tour began, we walked around the whole school trying to get them to know more about our school. I feel kinda stupid having to introduce even structures like the science block. This tour thing is lame, firstly because they are never gonna study in CHS anyway and secondly, they were not even interested. I especially pitied the korean girl in our group, she don't understand english and was like following us around without knowing what is happening.

Okay, very soon the tour ended, we brought them back to kkh. There we gave them drinks, then we had food ourselves. After slacking for quite some time, yuan chang asked me and hui jie to go to the general office to sort out the certs. We ran there, and started doing do. It was basically slotting certificates into envelopes according to the school. We spent about 20 minutes there, before taking mr ivan oh's car to HCJC to hand over the certs to mrs ke. After that we went back to hall and were told that we were dismissed. Phew.

Okay, APMOPS ended here for me, so i went to HCJC to find my squadmates who had been marshalling. When i got back there again, they had just finished marshalling and were heading back to EP3 block to get changed. I waited for my friends. Then, zhi yong, hong hui, yong wei and yize took the extra packets of noodles to the oei tiong ham (should be the correct spelling)hall there to eat. I waited for them, and finally they finished. Hong hui offered me to take his father's taxi home, so i accepted. I reached home at 4.30.

Whoa. What a day it had been. It was certainly successful today, i was happy for that fact. The very moment i am typing this, i hear the news about APMOPS in the background. Haha. Okay, i guess i will not write any longer. Post again tomorrow and bye
