Pre-National Day Fete

National Day celebrations. Well, every thing was kept simple and tidy with no elaborated decorations or performances. Now that I'd mentioned about decorations, I realised that there isn't any triangular colour flags bedecking the different floors of the school building this year. Guess the school is trying to scrimp down on budget and manpower. Actually, there aren't that many booths being set up this year. As far as I can recall, last year's food fair even had some stalls stationed on the upper floors. Then there's our class stall selling bandung and chinchow. Sales were brisk, I'd say, considering we are only handling drinks and no other snacks. My coupons were reserved for the chocolate fondue, chocolate muffins, chocolate cookies, chinchow and some pastries. Nothing as sapid as a chocolate foody treat. The Chinchow was more than worth the money cuz I kept refilling it time and again after I finished drinking or when I feel thirsty. I think it is people like me who go around being a free-loader that some businesses have folded. Hahaha. But nevertheless it was still fun. Fun manning the stalls, doodling around and doing nothing but just standing and sitting and walking and nothing else.

Next big thing for this year's celebration was the auction. Though neither melissa, amelia nor me bought anything. Melissa wanted to get the AIG Manchester United jersey but she was worried that it was synthetic goods since they are going at such low prices. The auction was like visiting a flea market okay.

Then after dismissal, Amelia and Cheryl went over to Melissa's house to play Nintendo DS and barbecue marshmellow. Didn't go cuz of a movie session with jiahao and meiqi. But looks like we are not watching The Simpsons after all.

Shall stop here then. Byes.
