I didn't dread it in the first place,

who knows, it may turn out to be those days at the Science Centre in August for the Biotech fair.

I was right :D

The first day was Awesome already. Spend the first hour setting up laptop, projectors, adding necessary posters. Follow by another hour idling around, watching people past our booth and to the huge piece of 'monument' outside our booth. (That gains us alot of attention)

Snap, snap, kids and students posing with that cheesy look on the face.

And we just stared.

Afterwhich, got pretty sick of it already and Eeshuen, Zuxiang and I decided to head for breakfast while Jolene stayed to tend the booth. (We promised her Chocolate Ice-Blended)

Wandered around for 20 minutes before coming back for the booth.

Oh! And the thing about blazers. Each of us had to wear one. The super bright red one. Unfortunately, the sleeves of mine was extraordinary long and Zuxiang kept laughing and laughing and laughing... ...

He said it looks like pyjamas okay!

A couple of people came and we had to do one presentation after another.

Few minutes later, we just let it run automatically but allow them to approach us if there are any enquiries.

The second day was pretty much the same routine.

Came early to set up the stuff and then head for breakfast and McDonald. Use a binoculars from far and you're probably spot us within a couple of seconds. Thanks to Zuxiang for wearing that bright red blazer in the middle of a crowded Suntec City.

I think the boys are pretty hungry. They stole my hash brown which I bought for Jolene! Okay, maybe not. Eeshuen peeled off a couple of tiny pieces and popped them into his mouth while that Zuxiang grabbed it and bite a mouthful of it.

Head back later then we thought (close to 40 mins) and the yesterday's happening possibly replay all over. I've noticed that there's fewer people we came for a proper presentation today.

An hour later, received a phone call that the Principal and Vice principals are coming and you should see us. Stood up quickly and move around packing unwanted items lying around.

Did a quick presentation and Mr Lo asked us a reasonable number of question. (I doubt he understands half of it anyway)

Tend the booth for another hour or so, at the same, debating who should stay while the other three go for lunch. And we're all wanting Eeshuen to stay, I know he didn't want to, but he gave in somehow.

Jolene, Zuxiang and I ordered Alfredo (My favourite!) at Pastamania and when our pastas came, I threw all my unwanted slices of ham into ZuXiang's dish and Jolene dispose her peas to him too.

And that wacky Zuxiang mentioned that my brain was exactly the same size as the green pea, maybe tinier, then he poured a couple of salt onto the table, managed to pick up one and changes his mind about the size of my brain.

The next few hours at the booth was drop dead boring. No more presentations and we just sat in a circle and fed each other with laughter trying out new games we invented. I'm all defeated and the demented moron started the whole pea-sized brain again.

I like the story-telling best. This is how it goes. Anyone could start first. Just say something random like "Once upon a time..." and all, then the other person will continue by adding another sentence.

So basically, we made up a story about a bird whose wife died an reincarnate to become a cow who somehow got punished and was sent to a faraway island filled with mosquitoes.

The other was a romantic story whereby Zuxiang and Lejing pledge their undying love for each other. This one was super, duper funny b'cause when it came to Zuxiang's turn, he tries to change the whole story by bringing a bird in. And Eeshuen, Jolene and I tries to wind it back. I'm still unsure how it came to the point that Zuxiang was squashed and needed an operation (which actually failed)

Haha, if you wna hear more, Zuxiang had a recording of it in his phone.

Oh, and we had to do another presentation and answered a string of questions but afterwhich, it's okay because we're already packing up, moving the items into the lorry and ready to head back home.

Man, I couldn't even find any drawbacks in this event. Free food, goodie bags, laughter and only on a few circumstances which we needed to open our mouths and explain. And, we're paid 14 bucks for this!

Sweet.

Alright pictures now :D
