FunOrama!

It was a blast! Wonderful! Perhaps the most tiring 2 days but yet most meaningful experience i will ever have in ACJC. Simply great!

Started off with preparation day. Had MRC duties in the morning. Very sorry to the class for not being able to help out. Waited till 10+ for everyone to assemble in MR room before we began our massive project of making sound audible from every angle of the school. Took crank stand and horns and hundreds of meters of cables to setup. Somehow my group was one of the faster one this time round. Did more than what i was supposed to setup. Laying of cables was fun and i figured out that perhaps i have wronged someone for a long long time. Finished setting up all the speakers at around 1pm. By that time all of us were famished. Seriously. Ran quick checks on the system before energising it. Pretty successful i must say. No glitches.

I guess we were too loud cause this teacher from the dunking booth complained to us that their loudspeakers could barely be heard over our system. She complained complained complained and kao bei kao bei to all the teachers in the school. Then that class's chairman came over and talked to us like he wanted to pick up a fight. He used all sorts of vulgarities until i think he has finished using up all of them found in the dictionary of vulgarities. Seriously that class is pretty rubbish cause from what i can see, all their planning were last minute stuff and their teacher was seriously pretty screwed up. Compared to my class form teacher, i realised that my class actually got a very very amazing form tutor.

The system was officially ready by around 2pm. Went over to my class to setup the gun. Had no choice at first but to only use batteries and an inverter. Got done with it. Haha had quite some fun with it shotting cans. I was quite shocked to find out that people actually found the gun fun. LOL. I heard that Mr Sim who went into the MR room on Friday saw the gun on the table and went " WAH! Really look like carbine!" LOL!!! Must really take my hats off to Jin Zhe who made the effort to search high and low for the toy gun replica of the carbine. I must say that I'm sorry for losing my temper on you on Wednesday but let that be a lesson to both of us. (: Oh have to also thank Mr Chew who was so understanding to me and gave the games stall a power point which we did not apply for. So in the end we ran from power supply off the wall instead of a inverter. Finally, I must also thank my father for always willing to listen to me and help me out with the testing and advising me on the safety aspects of the gun.

Night came and 8 of us stayed over in school. By then all of us were pretty angry with the way the school pushing us around. Reported to the discipline committee for staying over in school. Went out at around 9pm for dinner. Yes most of use skipped lunch and only got to eat at around 9. All of us were like hungry ghost. LOL. We RAN from school to the JUMBO coffeehouse. 7 of us ate. Shu Teng eaten already so he just drank tea. 7 of us and 12 plates of rice :D

Went back to school walking very slowly cause we were like so full. Went to our temporary Command Control Centre and lazed around there. Waited till 12 midnight then we began our disrupting the water supply and food plan, as ordered by the OM -_-. Went around the whole school to remove the fuse and turn off the water supply of the water cooler and vending machines. Came back and went to bathe. Had to use the girls toilet cause the guys toilet was filled with gas cylinders. Yellow is a nice colour for a toilet. By then, my phone died-_-

At around 2am, this group of guys came down with a calf and prepared it for a roasting session. Wah its like the first time i see such a thing, very very cool.

Went back to CCC and i knocked out. Slept till 7am cause was seriously damn tired. Woke up and tried turning my phone. got like 1% of battery left. Then received SMS from vivian asking for my apron. AHHH!!!! I forgot to bring... Very sorry about it. I kept reminding myself to bring on Firday morning but then i forgot... Very sorry. Went to our system and began re-energising the whole system. Successful.

FunOrama! I was involved with 4 things, fruits stall as helper, games stall as troubleshooter, MRC, and Roving DV. Wah 4 things to cope with, how to juggle? And i had $50 waiting for me to spend. Plus my phone was dying. ZZZ.

Fortunately everything went on quite smoothly with a little bit of problem here and there with the games booth. It was very crowded in school. Like alot of people and it rained quite heavily. Spent more time at the games booth and i found it really fun and fulfilling to see people having fun with the gun that i built with Jin Zhe, although our gun went over the budget. There was this small boy who was so cute. He was like holding the gun and when i started the count down, he went "tan tan tan" which meant wait wait wait in hokkien. So cute la. haha. The top prize was won by this girl who just managed to hit 2000 points. Very pro.

So sad. FunOrama had to end. Pack up began and only managed to clear everything at 8pm. Sat in MR room and used XJ's charger to charge my phone. Turned it on and omg. Alot of voice call alerts. Very sorry to all the people who called me especially Shi Yi. I promise to charge my phone to 100% and bring my charger along the next time i am having another stay over anywhere.

Learned alot of things during FunOrama. Really a great experience!
