Last week was some scary, horribly busy crap. I actually have to stay back til 6~7pm+ for 5 whole days, which is about... A school week~ !

People~I...I've something to confess~...

I'm a NE ambassador. It's not like some godly position, and I became one by asking this question which I'll never ever forget :
" Erm, Ms Koh, what does a NE ambassador do ?"


After this, I was called up, sent for a interview which I think I seriously screwed up and WALLA~Became a NE ambassador.


Being a NE ambassador isn't that crappy, cause I get to see many things you guys aren't able to see everyday. Like a Catholic Church ( with presence of gorgeous Gothic architecture and a stunningly peaceful ambience ), a Crocodile farm ( It should be a Crocodile Farm "Tourist Centre", oh well~ ) in the Singapore and finally, a Japanese cemetry in the middle of a private housing estate. O.o ! ( Read the post on Nov 07, 2005 to know more ). Anyway the Japanese cemetry is not mentioned inside, so I'll just say it's has a beautiful scenery and nice ambience, kinda the exact opposite you'll expect from a cemetry.


Back to the topic, the NE ambassadors were required to make some "notice boards" based on your selected traditional games ( I chose Hopscotch =D ). So it happened to occur during a test week, and blah blah~ Busy with school work, computer gaming and studying, I, being the IC of the group dragged the finishing of the board til Friday. When we actually finished it, the board was just rejected mercilessly for being ugly ( Teacher and students have different views on Art appreciations ) and we were forced to redo it. I had a photography course til 4pm+, and the other group members, Annabelle, Jaslene and Xue Juan ( all girls again -.-" ) were BUSY ! XJ ( Xue Juan ) went home after the course, Jaslene, dont know where the heck she had gone to, and Annabelle had CCA... So with some kind souls, plus a really annoyed teacher-in-charge, I managed to finish the board ( Totally reformatted, repaired, and reloaded XD ) by 6pm+. The board, was totally different from the old one.
The old one had glitters peeling off, cause it just wont stick on plastic, and some parts of it just looked stupid.
The new board looked a little better, except the "Hopscotch" writting appeared to be overpainted, thus crappy.


So finishing this, We're prepared for that Sunday, 12 Feb or Zheng Yue Shi Wu, the last day of CNY, or the chinese Valentine's day. This is kinda long, so let me summarise it. Me went to school, bus hired to send us there. Reached Hougang Mall by 4pm, set up booth by 5pm. By then everyone was "Gan Chiong", and Ms Koh was seriously PISSED off, cause the crowd was coming in fast. I was doing the markings for the Hopscotch when Ms Koh told me that she brought canvas for us for the diagrams. This was when, I noticed that the
Hopscotch diagrams were done already ( -.- ) by another batch of students who graduated from school already.
Saved us tons of time, by then the crowd just came in. My booth, especially my Hopscotch area were overswarmed with kids from 5pm~8pm+ and I barely had dinner..the others did a pretty good job, but I must say, I worked the hardest (^^ ). Went home at 9~10pm+, and it was too late to do homework, so I rushed the night doing homeworks =.=". That's all for now~ I'll continue tomorrow, cause Mom's nagging about over-usage of the computer -.-.
