A day at NUS

A day at NUS

I got a call from Brighton to help her out in an event held out at NUS. I had to reach the multi-purpose hall. With the aid of tengfu's direction, i managed to reach the place without much difficulty.

The event today was that there was a Actice Day for the professors and staff of NUS. It was to promote healthy lifestyle.
The initial work was to put up balloons to decor the area. Brighton's job scope was to handle the sound system, stage, and a game booth. As the time drew near, the crowd increase by the number. I went on to help at the registration counter to give out tshirts for the events.

Then there was the starting ceremony. And a blip occurred. There was supposed to have a confetti blast right after the speech. But somehow the machine kena stuck or spoilt. Nothing came out. Now, that caused some embarrasment there... and Sam demand a report from Brighton about the matter.

As the event kick off, the queue at the gaming booth was very crowded. I stationed there for a while before i was reassigned to the food booth to give out snacks and drinks. Of course, again, once the crowd was in, it was busy, busy, busy for that couple of minutes. The whole event ended by 5pm and we started to pack out the things by 530pm to end our day.

One thing that tickles is right at the end, when there were extra food and drinks. Once the annoucement was made, there is a scene of professors.. male and females.... snatching around the boxes of food available left on the table. Some even came around the booth from behind in order to get a box or two. I felt quite sorry for those who actually queued properly but ended nothing while some managed to snatch as much as 4 boxes.... Quite an amazing scene act by professors u would say... Im wondering how would other professors would do from the other universities if this happen similarly.... keke...

After that, i contacted Tengfu to meet up and head home together. Along the way, he managed to persaude me to continue on to tampines. So i gave in, and we went to search a while for JJ's present. We managed to spot one bag which seems very suitable, but didnt get it straight. I wanted to confirm the measurements first to make sure that a laptop can fit it in, so i chose to KIV.

Back at home, Aaron called me. First, we discussed about the bag for JJ. After which, he seek some advice from me regarding his school stuff, about something that has been bothering for quite some time. Well, hope my words have given him some headway in his decision. Im also glad that he approached me as one of the people to ask for guidance. Guess, im always a good person to talk to, or someone to seek an opinion from....

Another call was unexpected from my uncle, when he wanted a favour from me. He found out that i was trying to sell some of my stuff online. He had a few toys that was kept aside and he wanted to let it off for some price too. Now, i will have to wait for the pictures from him before i can help him place it online....
