MYD for this year was way better than last year. I wore my favourite shirt and shorts, it was weird to be in school with them on. Assembly was like normal, except that everyone was wearing different clothes. Then we went back to class to give the representatives time to prepare. At about 8.20, we went out to witness a "mascot" from each class, symbolizing a different country each. I didn't really notice each representative much because they didn't attract my attention and the clapping was so loud, I couldn't hear which country they were representing. I did see Daryl came in with his England outfit with a hat. He took off his hat to the judges like a gentlemen, well done, Daryl :). After that, was my own class. Hong Fu, Wang Lei, Boxin and Jiahao wore some loose-fitting robe (don't know what it's called :P), we were doing Japan. Then Berwin in his ninja outfit with his stunts, all the backflips and stuff drew applause. Some of those that followed were more entertaining, including one particular group representing a Tribe and they had to act like one, which was really well done and really daring. I noticed that quite a few were centered on the World Cup that it seemed like everyone had a soccer ball of their own. After each class had done their show, we returned to our classes for a break before they announced the winners.
When that was done, we were free to roam the school and were trusted to return to class by 12pm. I stayed in class for a while with Bryan because he needed some help. I gave up my coupons, because I thought I would be staying there the whole day, but then decided later that I wanted it back, after being persuaded by Brendan and Yi Kar. I managed to get back 1 dollar and went up to Julius's class. I spent 1 and a half hours there on 4 games, all of which were payed for by Yi Kar, Julius and Calvin, thank you very much for that. And it was really difficult to manage the Administrative issues because Julius did not seem to have the co-operation of his classmates, so things were quite messy but it turned out fine and they really received a lot of coupons, although I don't see why Julius would have to pay to play his own Xbox. There were 10 macbooks side by side, all in for 5v5 DotA matches, along with 2 Xboxes in System Link, and it was a real hotspot for gaming enthusiasts.
After the day was over, I took the Bio test on Alcohol. It went well. Then we were dismissed at 12.45. I took a ride to Bishan and looked through the Bus paths. I concluded that I would have to cross to the other side, but I didn't check, because I decided that I wanted lunch. So I wandered back into J8, glanced at McDonald's, which was crowded, peered into KFC, where all the seats were taken, and went up to the Food Court, which was full. I took a slow walk back down and wanted to get an Ice Cream from McDonald's, which also had a queue, but then I heard Daryl calling my name from the back, so I turned around. Junn Wei was looking into McDonald's, wondering what Daryl was talking about, so I tapped him back to his senses. They were with Kaiser, Samuel and Yuliang, so I asked what they were doing. They wanted lunch too, so we made a tour around the ground floor and deduced that Lunch would not be taken there. PastaMania had a queue while Pizza Hut was not an option for them due to time constraints as they had to get back to school by 2.15 and so could not afford to wait.
I found myself back at the Food Court, which did not seem to have changed in the past 10 minutes. But they went in and found a place to sit, so we had lunch there. They found a better location, so we resettled there. We discussed their Money Investment Program as we ate, then it turned to Council Matters, then food. Yuliang kept insisting that I was being conned because the Cheese Prata was sold at a ridiculous price at $2.20 per piece. They thought it was Egg Prata at first, and felt that the price would be reasonable. But when I told them that it was Cheese Prata, they started to try and balance the price. If cheese was 50 cents, that would mean the Dough was $1.70, which was stupid, and so on. At 1.45, Samuel left us to meet his friend, and at 1.50, the other 4 had to leave, although Junn Wei felt bad to leave me alone. So they tried to drag it a little more, but 5 minutes was all they could manage, and I still had three quarters of my last prata to go then, so they left.
As I cleaned it up, Daryl and friends arrived. Another 5 more people, so all the seats around me were filled up again, but this time, I had finished my meal and they were just starting. So I waited through Round 2 of Lunch with a cup of coke. I was 5 cents short of getting the Large one, but I think it's better to have gotten the Regular one anyway. I was impressed with their eating habits. At the end of their lunch, Kai Shiun and the other 2 guys were gone.
Daryl and Kai Zhong almost made a bet (maybe they did) on the forced withdrawal from the Arcade if Kai Zhong were to enter it. He was made to leave. Daryl failed with his tokens, miserably. So did I anyway. After that, we left for home. Slight flood today, it was obvious that I had walked in the rain when I boarded the bus, and during the ride, I seemed to dry up, but I was drenched again as I ran home, worse than before. Almost slipped and fell at one point, but friction prevented that :D.
