today we went to the fishtank to buy potato wedges.
It's so exciting trying out new types of food haha.
To our horror, when we got our wedges, it was still frozen cold. We didn't realise it at first but as we took the first bite, it was so cold and disgusting.><
And so we went to "confront" the fishtank uncle to "complain". The fishtank uncle offered to heat it up for us but we couln't afford to wait any longer as chem lecture was starting. So, we asked if we could collect our wedges later. The fishtank auntie and uncle hesitated for a moment. Then the wise uncle thought of a way to recognise us when we collect our food 1 hr later after chem lecture. He told us to unpluck the fork from our half-eaten potato wedges and take the fork with us. Mengfei's one even had tomato ketchup and some other sauce. We would show our fork as identification when we collect the potato wedges later. -.- so we held the fork on our way to the audi as it was quite oily. Look quite retarded haha. After chem lecture, we immediately ran to fishtank as we were so hungry. All the fishtank uncles and auntie were amused by us and our forks that they burst out laughing. They were like " oh the three forks people, here's your wedges." Oh you might think the saga is over when we got our potato wedges. To our horror, we realised that those were not our original wedges that we bought. The half-eaten ones. The auntie said they sold it. okay, they sold our half-eaten wedges?!?!? and mengfei's ketchuped ones too. i wonder who bought it haha.
today's pw lesson also very amusing. pris' grp had their trial today. Then they had the games segment which got the guys really crazy and wild haha. Then kaizhi and guangyi were busy taking photos of them raising their hands enthusiatically from various angles. Everyone froze to pose for a few moments. There was also the prize-giving ceremony which was super epic haha. The present which looked rather big, turned out to be wrapped with multiple layers of newspaper with two marshmellows haha. Yap chien shared his prize with us. So nice right? he gave us the newspaper wrapper -.- but he did offer us the marshmellows in the end. I got a little bored and started folding aeroplanes with the newspapers. Mengfei saw me and wanted to join in the fun. Then warren gestured to me as he wanted to play with the airplane as well. So i aimed towards him. But alas, due to many unforeseen circumstances and factors, it hit yuhan instead. oops >< Mengfei tried to aim it at shenyi at the suggestion of ahma, but, due to many unforeseen circumstances and factors, it hit yuhan yet again. yuhan's aerophilic to paper planes.
after GP, me, evelyn and mengfei chionged off to the sci centre for our volunteer induction programme.We had a briefing and a tour around ssc. When we first entered the dalton lecture audi, the sec sch ppl were staring at us. Even when we sat down, they kept turning around to stare at us somemore, whisper amongst themselves, laugh a bit, stare somemore, which made us uncomfortable. It was like the kallang wave. At first the row in front of us stared at us, then they whisper to their friends in front, then their friends stare at us and whisper to more ppl in front and soon all the rows in front were looking at us. So GL.
I <3 the sci centre. The exhibitions are all super interesting :D Come to think about it, i think i haven't been to the sci centre for a good 5-6 years?!?! We should have a class outing there haha. It's really fun :) not as boring as i thought. The mathematics exhibition has super fun activities like personality test using numbers, jackpot, projections of 3D stuff which is uber cool. The 3D projection of the crystal-like thingy looks real and 3D but once you reach out to touch it, it is actually not there. Optical illusions are fun too:D The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the witnessing of the hatching of baby chicks. <3 We were so lucky to be able to catch it in time. As the baby chick struggled to emerge out of its shell, it dawned upon me how fascinating life is and that is what sci is truely about. The chicks are SO cute that i was tempted to bring one home :P Can't wait to start my stint soon :))
