Banana Box~ @ 7:03 AM
It's finally over! All our hard work has paid off!!! (I hope.)
Today was a tiring day. An exhausting day. A demanding day. A foot-aching day. A noisy day (my chances of getting deaf has just gone up by 30%). An oh-no-what-do-we-do-now-there-are-so-many-impatient-customers day. A shit-the-mike-went-out-again day. An omg-we-are-left-with-so-many-drinks day. A has-that-person-paid-yet day.
The list goes on and on. But to summarise it, it's been a great, awesome and undeniably fun day.
I promised the people who stayed back late till like 8.30, 9, that I would credit them here (: Because all of them (including me lar har) helped out with the mind-boggling, nerve-wrecking, stress-inducing task of cleaning up the SAC. Just to paint a picture, these tasks involved:
- bringing down the streamers and glow sticks and cellophane paper from the ceilings (which Ting Ting and I slowly specialised in. a great task for me, given my ahem height.)
- moping and cleaning the floor
- putting the pillows back to where they belonged
- moving the television and CD cupboard back into the small room, and trying not to get sensationalised in the process
- clearing the litter on the floor
- taking out the humongous, severely obese trash bags
- packing the drinks and snacks
- cleaning up when the ice box broke
- wiping the whiteboard with extra force, because the markers used were permanent markers (the bolded portions in this sentence are especially for the people who wrote on the whiteboard without checking the type of marker)
- enduring the life-shortening stink of the tar cleaner when Mr Tan sprayed that on the board so it would be easier to wipe
The list just goes on. And my soles hurt terribly )):
Anyway, thank you Hui Qi, thank you Hui Ting, thank you Yi Xin, thank you Han Yi (ahh that's me!! :D), thank you Li Shuen, thank you Xuan Li, thank you Ting Ting, thank you Rachel Ng, thank you Sabrina, thank you Sophia, thank you Rebecca, thank you Fiona, thank you Jia Chun, thank you Cheryl, and of course,
thank you Mr. Tan.
We would like to especially thank the following people for really seriously sacrificing their time just to help out with the cleaning up: Hui Ting, Xuan Li, Rachel Ng, Sophia, Rebecca and Cheryl. Hui Ting actually had LOA due to YOG, but she stayed back to help out. Rebecca had to take public transport back home, at this late ulu hour, but she stayed back to help out. (To put it in a nice way, role model for all those people who decided to go home early because they didn't want to take the public transport home late at night. PS don't get mad at me, I'm just pointing out.) Xuan Li's, Rachel Ng's, Sophia's and Cheryl's parents had already come to pick them up, but they stayed back to help out.
And I end this longest post yet (I think.) by saying:
213 I ♥ You!!!
213, life would suck without you. I really can't bear to leave everyone next year.
PS. If I left anyone out, please tell me. I don't have a photographic memory, you know.
PPS. Did anyone take home/see my iPod charger wire in the SAC? Because I can't find it now, and I seriously remember bringing it to school )):
PPPS. The next thing to look forward to according to our calendar is culture test. Yay.
PPPPS. I absolutely demand a class chalet after EOYs. And another class tee. Because I love 213 just too much.
