i'm officially back from the China trip... and i'm proud to pronounce: I MISS CHINA!!!!
Day 1:
The 16 of us set out on the route towards Shanghai, we wore masks in the airport.. i could have gotten an asthma attack!! it was uber stuffy.boarded plane sq 828!!! watched the hannah montana movie and 17 again. haha it was uber funny. i kept laughing like a lunatic behind the mask. to make it worst, i was sitting alone and i think the other passengers must be staring at me. we arrived in Shanghai after 5 hours and 15mins.we had to stay in the plane for a while as men/women in white suits-covered from head to toe, came on board with forehead thermometers.. you know those ak-47... guns.. with the red pointers.. yup.. thermometers looking like guns. haha anyways, when we were clearing immigration, glenn was so honest to tick all the symptoms of H1N1... fever, runny nose..etc.he had to go to the hospital, to run 10 hours worth of check. haha oki, the rest of us headed down to qiu shi experimental school first.
ON the bus ride, shared the earpiece with randy haha, listening to korean songs. yeah!!! it took us about 2-3 hours before we finally arrived at qiu shi.woah.. its a really big sch.. like 5-6 storeys
we had a scrumptous dinner, before we went to recee the place. haha everything looked scary at night. we had our own song singing session on the steps to the library, to familiarise ourselves with the songs. we were quite a sight, huddling on the stairs. oki, then we checked in into our bunks. oh man!! the facilities were not as good as i thought it would be. Woke up in the middle of the night fighting with commando mosquitos. not a good start.
Day 2:
Woke up to the bright sunlight.... and its only 5.30!!!
the left side of my face was swollen with mosquito bites, i couldn't even open my left eye!
anyways, sunday.. it was time to meet up with the china pc!!!! i was a little anxious and excited at the same time. my chinese was not that good and i did not really know where to begin. luckily, i had wen wei with me. phew. haha, we played mrt and blow wind blow. the problem was, they said their names so quickly that i didn't catch any of them!!! urgh!! they kept calling my name , i had no choice but to rely on my chinese AI. haha. oki, blow wind blow was fun. then after that, we played hunter, squirrel as a mass game. then it was back to serious work- the planning and discussion. hmm.. it was quite a gruelling process as they themselves did not plan anything. we had to force our work on them, yet ask them to add their own personal touch.
Lunch!!! we had fried ice-cream!!! woohoo.. the vanilla oozzing out of the crispy pastry is a must! oo lala!!. haha lunch was like a man han quan xi.. a 10 course meal with never ending dishes. after lunch, we welcomed our heoric mr choo and glenn, back from the hospital. haha its good to have the games comm back again.^^ we continued our discussion, before our A.O.P, with mr tan. anyways, we had to prepare quite a lot, the stations and places for scavenger hunt. i was to oversee it for the next day..
Dinner!!! had a fast one, before we had debrief and an overview of the schedule for tmr. then it's back to our bunks, for the fight with the mosquitos!!!!
Day 3:
woke up early. the girls were always punctual.. waiting for the boys.>.< where have all the gentlemen gone to!? haha anyways, while the scdc were teaching their mass dances, cheers and songs, we, the gamers were busy preparing for our scavenger hunt. it was hectic!!!!!!!! there was so much to do, so little time.. woah!!! it was quite an experience, running here and there, printing stuff, giving briefings, dry run on the games, the emcees, explanation. everything!!! wow.. oki...
Lunch... as usual, my table was always filled with lame jokes and laughter.. remind me to get the jokes from hui yi haha it was so funny. i enjoyed all hte meals throughly!!^^
back to scavenger hunt. when everything was in place, the hunt was on. i had to run around, overseeing everything, making sure that everything was oki. i had no trouble until midgame, when the classes were going on so fast that one station had two classes. some jjcians had to step in to make them do cheers and stuff, to buy time. some students actually got lost from their class. i had to bring them around personally to find their class for them. phew.. it was both tiring and exhausting, since it was the first time i'm in games. the scavenger hunt finally ended with the entire sec 1 cohort forming the word 'qiu shi no. 1' and with us, taking a photo ( found in facebook) it was uber cool!!!!!!
then dinner, and SSS.. well.. my job was to rarrar the crowd before sss, i didn't do a very good job of it, and i had to get help, fast!! hui yi was there, and she was so hilarious when she was scolding them that i had to muffle my laughter haha. well, during sss, i didn't have time to join them, i had a talk with wen wei and mr tan, about tmr's station games. i was going to oversee it again. haha ode to joy. oki, so we were discussing it and we changed almost the entire thing, inculding the games. haha. after SSS was over, we headed to the command center to have our briefing. it was tiring.... snooze... for a while...
Day 4:
woke up witha swollen finger!!! rab's eyes couldn't open thanks to the mosquito bites on her eyes, and hui yi's mouth was swollen. haha.. sorry hui yi, i couldn't stop laughing. haha anyways, we were looked like the three freaks of jj haha hui yi wore a mask the entire day, and i helped her draw a smiley face on it ^^ hope that it makes you fell better. haha anyways, we had to rush as the first activity was station games!!!!!!!!!!!! argh!!!!!!!!!! wen wei and glenn was praying that i would rain, so that telelmatch could be cancelled. haha well, somehow their prayers worked,it rained. but staion games still continued, as all the stations were indoors. well, it went on quite smoothly, i managed to have some interaction with the children and did the tao yan san lian pai with them. haha uber fun!!!! had to use the delaying tactic again.i'm really thankful for yu yang and sheng tao, who followed my around like 6 plus hours these two days!!! haha. ii had fun with the china pcs too!! haha love you all guys!!! i've seen their improvement and the sweat they put in 110%!!!!! thank you all!!
lunch!! MORE LAME JOKES!! haha yup i can still walk ^^ then we went to perfect our mass dances.. line dance and our special performance.. 5 colours in her hair. sorry joe.. i turned down your offer of dancing with you :( haha hui yi specifically wanted to dance with jia cheng, rb with wen wei. i ended up dancing with glenn. haha clare and glenn. oh ya!! my name and glenn's name cannot be differentiated clearly over the walkie talkie. haha jia cheng went: jia cheng to clare, jia cheng to clare, jia cheng to clare, clare, clare. haha sometimes i heard. glenn, glenn, glenn haha so funny.
Dinner!! poor uber, had to rush through to see to the qiu shi night prep. oki, so after that, me and jia cheng left to rarrar the crowd.. oki, mainly it was him doing the job. he's so good witht he kids!!! haha i'm more of just coordinating them, where they should stand and stuff. haha oki, then we headed to the auditorium for our performance. plans changed!!!! haha when it was our turn to perform, i had the shock of my life!!! kenneth, instead of wen wei, came on stage to dance!!! haha i had to cover for him, haha so funny. but joe said we look professional and nobody could tell that we sort of screwed up haha it was such an amazing experience!!!!! haha i had fun. then i had to rarrar the crowd, go among the students, asking them to sway along, sing along, not to sit donwn. haha some of them came up to me asking for my autograph. especially for nirmal's haha he becamoe a superstat overnight. mr ng even joked: now you know how i feel haha that's cool!!! qiu shi night was quite all right, i guess. but i believe we could have done better.
we bathed in insect repellet, as advised by zhang hang, the expert haha.
.... i cannot go on anymore.. i'll probably laugh or cry till i die. i'll blog more either tmr or monday.. when the memory is still fresh. it'll always be fresh.. i love qiu shi!!!!
