There is only a few words that I can use to describe the entire programme. It was "fantastic", "informative" and very "interactive". Well, here's what happened. Basically, I and a few others were sent by our school to represent the NPCC Unit in helping out in the day's programme. Out of the eight schools in our NPCC area, only three responded, and that was us, Greenridge, Hillgrove and Swiss Cottage. Anyway, we were supposed to head down to Teck Whye Primary School by eleven-thirty in the morning, so my friends and I had an early recess alongside the lower secondary, after eating, we left the school whilst the lower secondary were still lining up in their classes. We felt so free once we stepped outside the school gate, but the eight of us knew we had important things to do, and we immediately walked down to the bus stop (after making a detour to buy some sweets at the LRT station, did I say immediately?) and took a direct bus from there to reach our destination. Once there, we ate some more, haha, I practically spent my entire day eating fruits, as I was eating another slice worth of watermelon, other than the one I ate earlier on during the early recess. Thereafter, while we waited for the bus to get ready with the other schools that were there already, we got bored and decided to head to the fitness corner to have fun. We took a whole bunch of pictures, that I will post at a later date. Anyway, after the photo-taking session at the fitness corner, we went up the bus and were on our way to Methodist Girls' School where the event was taking place. Nothing much happened on the bus, except loads of crappy jokes and laughing as we interacted with the Hillgrove students, whilst the Swiss...I don't know what were they doing behind, haha. Anyway, we arrived at the school, and lessons probably just ended as a huge bunch of primary and secondary schoolgirls started pouring out from the gates, they convierged the two schools today, see. I had never seen so many maids or expensive cars all in one area at once before, so it was quite amazing, but it was to be expected, since it was a rather well known and RICH school after all. We took the "barang-barang" up to the hall, using the lift, (THE LIFT, MIND YOU!) and as we entered the air-conditioned hall (AIR CONDITIONED HALL, MIND YOU!) we realized that we were half an hour early and that the primary school kids had yet to arrive, so much for our lack of "kiasu-ness." We were given time to explore the school or head down to the canteen for our break, whilst we waited for the kids to arrive. My unit and myself decided to go to the canteen for what? Yes, more food. Fruits, for me. I ate, more watermelon, and I entertained myself by teaching some girls how to eat as dirtily as a guy, HAHA! Anyway, we headed back up afterwards, and nearly got lost in between the secondary and the primary blocks. When we finally found the hall, it was quite filled with the primary school kids, they were all so cute, just sitting there and listening to the speaker that was upfront. We were suddenly ushered out and were given a briefing of the day's activities, basically, it was team-building games and first-aid practice. We were taught first-hand by the teacher how to do the bandaging, and we cottoned on quickly. We even posed pictures with our "bandaged limbs". After we were done, it appears that we were given ANOTHER break, and we were to head down to the canteen for more FOOD! I ate something other than food this time, fishballs, to be exact, and I did a comical dance with one of the balls as I nearly dropped it, and tried my best to catch it but to no avail. It rolled into the nearby drain, and stayed there. Once I was done eating, what did I go for? The fruits, bananas. Man, their bananas were the size of two bratwurst sausages added together! I ate four, and earned the name "Bananaboy" thanks to that. After the refreshments, we went to our teams and the team-building games began. It was alot of fun, and the games were definitely interactive for the students to communicate and socialize. I was amazed to see how some of them had so much potential to be strong leaders. Anyway, there was also this irritating kid, he kept contradicting me, and being the "nice" person I am, I left him alone (chucks a sawed hand into a plastic bag). Anyway, after the tiring games, we went back up to the air-conditioned hall (AIR CONDITIONED, MIND YOU!) to begin the first-aid practice. It was so cute, the way the kids tied their friends' bandages and argued over how it should be done, it was really, really funny. Finally, it was all over, and all of us went back to the bus to head back to Teck Whye, where we departed after that. My friends and I, along with our sir, Christopher, went to chill at this "hill thingy" outside the school. We were waiting for one of my friend's boyfriend, before we headed down to Lot One Shopping Mall for our dinner. I ate grilled fish and rice, and? That's right, FRUITS!!! Haha, after the entire thing, we took the train home, and left for our respective homes. Well, that's about it, and to those that know, my foot's fixed, thanks to a couple of good eggs. xD
Here are the pictures I took (mainly myself, for the time being, more pictures will be added soon):

Well, that's about it for this post, enjoy the new song, by the way, I heard it from Live From Abbey Road, liked it, hope you did too. xD
