I made a terrible mistake because I didn't notice the deadline for this event and only started to ask around after one week. I did invite them in FB but noone noticed anything. -.- So by the time I WhatsApp them one by one, it's already the second last day to register. -.-
In the end, John, Iguana and Wendy agreed to come, and Krystle with another 2 more friends also. I waited in Iguana's house for John and Wendy to come fetch us together to the Metropolitan Park, and I tell you, I think that was one of my most terrifying 15 mins of my life because Piebald WAS SO EXCITED AND AGGRESSIVE!!!!!!
Thank God he's very obedient and doesn't dare to enter the err forbidden place, which is actually the sofa area. I hid myself there in the 15 minutes. :\
When they said they arrived already, Iguana had to keep talking to Piebald for me to escape. I literally ran to the door and slammed it behind my back. *wipe sweat*
Oh, I haven't enter the main topic. Hehehe.
So off we went to the Park, but we entered the 1st entrance when we should have entered the 2nd one. NICKLAUS OH WHY YOU NO SAY EARLIER!!! -.-
But the 3 of them were so hungry till they bought snacks and drinks at the 1st entrance. Dei why you all never eat lunch before come one, it's outdoor activity lea. -.-
On our way journey to the Park we talked about allocating groups and I said that maybe they will allocate for us. When we reached, we needed to take a number out from a plastic bag and there were few people holding plastic bags containing numbers from 1 to 7.
I got 4, then after Wendy took his number, it was 4 also. Then Iguana also showed 4 to us! Then then! John also got 4!!!!! Krystle was like,
I don't believe you guys that you all got the same number!!
FYI, we took from different plastic bags okay. HAHAHA!
There were 7 other people in the group also, and most of them I already knew through the Youth cell care in the previous week. The leader is a girl name Jasmyne. HAHAHA. Such unique spelling!
The 1st race is the 3-legs-race. But since we have 11 people, we divided ourselves into groups of 5 and 6. 5 obviously consist of the 3 of us plus another Jasmyne. Hahaha. So our race is not 3-legs but 4-legs and 5-legs. Hehe. But maybe because we are ehem,
old enough, we knew the technique to walk in a stable and fast manner. So even though we were at the 8th or 9th line, we managed to cut everybody and be the 1st!
Quite funny actually, like having to put signal to go to the right and saying
excuse me to people who blocked our way (after that add a '
why you guys so slow?' HAHAHAHAHAHA)
After reaching the finishing line, the committees helped us to cut the strings and we went back to help the young ones in our group. Apparently while we were the 1st, they were the last. Hahahaha. Wendy and John like cheerleaders cheering and helping them to stay on track. And the group who started 1st was at the 2nd last. Hahaha.
Moral of the story: Even if you start 1st, it doesn't mean you'll end 1st. If you didn't start 1st, you still have the chance to be the 1st. Being 1st doesn't really matter, stay humble and help others, be it opponents or kaki lang.
There were 7 actors, and it's an investigation game where someone died, and our job is to find out the murderer. The actors won't lie and you can ask them anything you want, but make sure it's relevant to the case.
2nd task is to form a shape that is asked by the committees while one of our group members went up to the tower and looked down to guess the object that we formed. Our 1st object is a book, and we were like, how ah? Want to form an open book or a book with a page flipping? Lol. 2nd is a fish. Super easy. But the girl said she needed to tilt her head only can guess it's a fish.
3rd is air-cond. Impossible to guess with us forming the shape because it's a rectangle object and anything can be rectangle! In the end because the girl saw me doing the fanning action (supposed cannot do action one hahahahah) so she guessed it correctly. Last is a pair of specs. We haven't even finished forming and she was on her way to come down already hahaha so easy for her!
THEN!!!!
STARTED TO RAIN ALREADY!!!!!!! *WAIL*
We only did 2 tasks leaaaaaa! :'(
And so we went to a place with shelter. It's big enough for all of us (actually quite many came) but the problem is the ceiling is spoiled and the rain kept on leaking here and there. So we needed to avoid this place avoid that place, almost nowhere to stand already.
But, despite the heavy rain, most of them had the mood to continue the investigation and kept asking the actors like criminals HAHAHA! Even Iguana who looked like she was bored, was actually analysing the information that we got from the actors and discussed with the rest of us.
Moral of the story: No matter how hard we plan, it doesn't always go smoothly. But when our plans are changed, do not be discouraged. Look at the bigger picture and you'll be grateful no matter what. :)
Actually I felt paiseh la, because I'm the one who invited them to join but turned out like thisssss. :\
At 6pm the rain was much smaller so we went back to the gathering place, had 100 plus and sausages and fishballs and we went for dinner. We ate Bat Kut Teh!
