I'm writing this post because Joy told me to LOLOL
Yesterday was Anderson's (Secondary) speech day and I represented Anderson (Junior College) to give something back to my alma mater! Sounds so fun right! WRONG
I was sabotaged to be the rep for this actually. Jia Hui or Jerlyn targeted me. Just because I said I don't mind going on stage giving the gift. I clearly highlighted that I do not have any ideas on what gifts to give but screw that, I will be the rep!
Befuddled by what I should give, I asked for suggestions. I thought of fans, the boys thought of Khang/Harrick. Wow. I was going on with the fan idea since my father bought a standing fan for $50 just a few days ago. So I asked for $4 from everyone to get 2 fans. Things were going to happen when suddenly Anlly suggested painting with our handprints and pandas and everything thrown into one. So then somehow we got to the conclusion of giving a painting instead, a marvellous idea since it was definitely cheaper than fans.
So I asked for ideas, for volunteers to help me since I ain't gonna do this shit alone. I asked for opinions, for designs, for canvases, basically the details. No one replied. Alright, some did. But the responses from a brick wall was better. I was going nowhere. Frustrated by this, I started to stress out as Afiffah pressed me for the finalised gifts.
Then out of nowhere, Jun Yu said that they wanted to give a panda plushie. Like what the actual F? Seriously, I had to use that. No one. No one told me anything about this. Alright, ideas were what I needed. But could people actually bother to tell me first, so that I don't go mucking around like a blind bat about things that people may or may not agree to? I felt rage back then, rage back now even.
Here's the fun part, Jun Wei said that they did not know where to get the panda from. So we got a non existent panda. Do I tell Afiffah about this or what? Is there going to be anyone able to help me for my dastardly artwork? Why the hell is binomials so difficult?
Continual pressing, Xin Yi volunteered to find the canvas/paint. She got the paint, couldn't get the canvas. Deadline looming, I 'Non Mihi Solum'ed my way to Ang Mo Kio to find canvases. I bought a 2m long grey cloth. Well close enough. I don't even know where to find proper banner material.
Brought it back to school, we hesitated and didn't take action, I showed my frustration to the other Andersonians, they read it fortunately and the next day Regina and Suyi (I think) helped to draw out AJ in the middle with bamboo font and two pandas at the side. I'll try to post photos if Anderson post it on their website. Hopefully...
We stayed back to do work, used the acrylic paint that 2/1 people had from Sec 1 or something. Jun Wei kindly donated his haaaaa. And then Benjamin said acrylic was supposed to be used without water. But screw that, I used Jun Wei's acrylic paint box cover as a palette. Yay Picasso!!
Oh, handprints! Vishnu put pink glitter paint on his hand and stuck it on the cloth. I helped to hammer his hand firmly on it. Turns out the glitter on stuck on his hand. I then tried it for myself since I had to go for CCA. The same happened to me, and my middle finger somehow didn't leave a print on the canvas. Well well well...
Left after an hour because of CCA. Don't want to elaborate on that so let's skip to the next day.
Glenn and whoever who stayed back yesterday (I meant the yesterday of that day, you know what I mean) had done a great job and finished everything, leaving whoever who wanted to leave their handprints there able to do so. Job finished!
The next day (the next day of that day), I left for Anderson (secondary) and sacrificed 1 hour of Chemistry. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Hurried to school with Jie Min, who insisted that I was early and I should take my time even though Afiffah told me to be there by 4. I left AJC at 3.45. This is what AJ PE trained me for!
Oh, didn't mention my Big Blue Blazer Burden. I loaned it from ASC and a mishap happened to the hanger. I hope they don't charge me for it. :(
Anyway got into my seat, almost couldn't find Glenn. (He was the rep too) Talked to Glenn and Jing An, and Desiree too. ACJC gave $18 worth of coffee. Because another JC was giving a coffee machine. Talk about compatibility.
I then became a victim of stealthy snapchats by Jing An and Glenn. Son of a son. Kept sending it to Jodeen/Eileen with the caption "Cool boy". Thanks guys.
Came up, presented the panda (NYJC told us where they got their panda plushie, we got one too, had a purple ribbon around ours while NY's one had a blue one. $50, so who copied who? :p) and the banner/artwork to Mr Ow. I somehow posed with a peace sign with him before unfurling the banner for a photo, unfurled the banner and then posed for another photo (this time no peace). Apparently Alesha (is that her name I don't know sorry :p) took a selfie with the guest of honour on stage before that and Mrs Jai warned me "No selfies ah!".
She didn't say no peace signs though..
I wasn't sure whether I could eat the buffet after the whole event, but Yi Qun said we can pretend as prize winners since there wasn't any verification LMAO. So I ate with Wei Hong, Yi Qun, Yong Xun/Jie. And Yong Xun kept telling me racist jokes from Reeduan, from SP.
Took photos with friends and bros, ate with the footballing bros at KFC, went home after Yong Jie and I talking about life, buying Lao Ban, buying his mum some contraption to hold hot bowls, and yeah, that's about it.
Damn it why did I take so long to write this post? Now my homework is pegged back again.
JC student problems.
