CIP
the science club of rj has combined efforts yet again to organise our own cip! (com sci is in just cause of its name) its so personal that we even have to pay for it ourselves -_- stupid stingy sch refuse to sponsor it.the cip involves conducting photoshop lessons and simple science experiments for kids from underpriviledged families ranging from age 11 to 16.
morning was damn sad. first i was missing odac pt to go for the cip =( next it was really just a lot of sitting around and watching them play captains ball and murderising each other. some of the kids there are really quite monstrous, totally uncontrollable, possibly the only thing worse than flash.
then there's this p5 boy in my group, not only is he damn naughty, he is also in love. or rather having a crush on this other girl in my group o_O. then during the photoshop session he was trying to draw hearts and flowers to hint her O_o. man he was so traumatised when the girl told him "don't friend you".
but i don't pity. stupid guy went around slapping me for no reason during lunch. then he even went to punch my balls, good thing he missed or one of the toilet bowls would probably be choked with his now.
only after lunch did the activities start. when i saw the activities i was like O_O. photoshop is still ok (well done com sci!), electronics was great, did some funky lesson on vortexes and made some fun toy. then bio was ok la... simply cause there were funky budding potatoes to squeeze. chem was .... it was a session of QA, telling them all about acidity, alkalinity and indicators. wah boring like bomb. i think all the kids were interested in was the indicators changing colour.
i think many ppl nearly exploded dealing with the kids. esp chen who tried to control the situation right in the morning. it is really hard cause the kids refused to cooperate, can tell he was really damn stressed. then i kinda took over and i also damn stressed, aiya just damn stressed la.
when i told these to jon he was like saying (probably sarcastically) "kids are bundles of joy" and this is my reply: the only reason why they are bundles of joy is cause they are like sponges, whereever they go, they suck those around them dry of happiness.
something damn unexpected happened, a kid lost his wallet, apparently he didn't take it out of his bag but it disappeared mysteriously after lunch. didn't manage to find it even though we searched everywhere. then something even more unexpected happened. one of the little girls found it in the toilet bowl of the girls' toilet. poor nat had to fish it out of the toilet bowl (eeeewwwww). poor boy lost $5.30. won't speculate who did it, but its probably a guy, who dumped evidence into girls' toilet so no one will suspect its him!
but ok la, i guess on the whole the kids are still ok, considering they are still kids. some of them quite nice at certain times also. tmr another day with time, good luck to me

then met ackerley and sherm after the cip at j8 macs for a heated discussion over hpc quest. to simplify the post, i shall just give an analogy: lets say you have finished a project at 11:59pm and it needs to be handed in the next day. then you realise you can add more stuff to it, but you have no idea whether it will be beneficial to your project. it requires a lot of effort but theres an equal chance it'll pull down your grades, and even if you get more marks, its only a little bit more (possibly insignificant). on top of that you are not even sure if you can finish the project by the time you have to set off for school. would you continue doing it? (maybe this is my biased opinion and cannot see their point of view, so take the example with a pinch of salt)
after a long time when the sun has risen, you havent slept, havent done anything for the project, havent ate breakfast, the time to left for school has arrived and you finally decide you will not continue doing it.
ya, thats pretty much what the meeting involved except we don't need to leave for school yet and it the project isn't done.

then something weird happened when i was reaching home. i was standing at the junction waiting for the green man when i realise that the 3 ppl beside me were looking at me. then i took a quick glance at one of them and wondered why they were looking at me. then i took a closer look and realised one of them were one of my group members! lol! and i always thought this kind of coincidences only happen in tv serials. man it really is a small world out there.
time to go back to chionging eureka. if only i can use a bottle to store up time, then i'll have more time now =( stress stress!
