Hmm, going for camp tomorrow, will be back on Sunday, which is my brother's birthday. Which is our combined birthday lunch + watch Ilaine's new musical day.
Ah well, BB SGB was fun and boring and somewhat slack since it was outstation.
Day One: SGB Opening Ceremony.
Woah! This day can really teach you that the S in SGB stands for slack. Sitting around, standing around, eating lunch, buying Old Chang Kee, standing and standing, and standing, while hearing people exclaim in excitement because of all the
Boys' Brigrade
Boy Scouts
Boys wearing police clothesAren't they all exciting. Sat around, stood around, stood around, went home.
Started at 9 and ended at 4:30. 7 and a half hours, I must say that is a short amount of time.
Day 2!
Posted to AMK Hub.
Supposed to have a gift box (donate food) and a wish tree (donate specific things people wish for) so though they initially posted two of us there, we asked and got 2 sec 1s to follow us :)
Reached there, they didn't give wishes, they said they'd call us back. That was at 11.
At 4pm, they called back, asked whether I have a piece of paper. I didn't, they called back 5 minutes later asking the same question. Mysteriously, it hadn't materialized in my hand so we had 4 of us at the gift box the whole time, talking nonsense and all kinds of stuff. The two sec 1s were from Bukit Batok Secondary School and the guy was from North Brook Secondary School. Still super fun though, cool people.10 hours of duty, many things happening, go home. Quite tired, sleeeeep.
Food Random Adults Unselfishly Donated (FRAUD): Breadtalk Cakes ($5 for 5 pieces)
Day 3
Posted to Bukit Timah Plaza.
Paired up with a sec 1 from 60th coy (aka RI)
OK Lah, a bit stone at beginning, but he was a nice guy so it was good.
A lot of coins donated once the rich people there emptied their Louis Vuitton coin pouches into the coin tin. (True Story)
Quite funny around 4-6 when they started competing, sorta, of donating more. After not many donations the whole day, suddenly people would come with trolleys full, donating so much, oh so much.
Then at 7 a mother and son came. Son was called Richard. I went to Jollibean to get some light dinner since FRAUD was quite heavy, and came back seeing 20 new packs of 5kg rice in the box. Then when I hoped to find a broom, I saw them inside again. Buying oil. Before we knew it, they came and came and came, with about 5 trolleys full fo everything, filling up the entire big big box by themselves. They occupied about 1.5 hours of our time and it was time to go home. Quite quite tired.
FRAUD: KFC Ultimate Value Box ($5.50 per person)
Day 4!!
At long last, last day.
Paired up with some guy.
Stoned, stoned, he was doing same duty as me from 29th Nov to 1st Dec so both of us were super super tired already. Yet the Bishan Junction 8 Branch we were posted to had little privacy and was very crowded so we had to stay awake, while walking around to stay awake. I refused to pay $2 for such a small price of not spectacular tehping from Ya Kun so yeah. Very very very tired can't remember much since was so tired.
Though I do remember hearing the long playlist of songs NTUC had so many times. Soooo long you wouldn't believe it, yet heard it soooooo many times it's pure ridiculous.
Remember this song though,
Didn't though it was such a charityish song. For the famine in Ethiopia quite a long long time ago.
Yeah, and after 9 to 4:30 and 8:30 to 9, 8:40, 8:40 on days 2, 3, 4 respectively, sitting at NTUCs for about a total of 30 hours (assuming standing is sitting) I shall refuse to be stationed anywhere on the 7th of December, no matter how better food could lure one to make the wrong decision.
I better go pack for camp finish.
And so the story ends
As concentration bends
The elephant and me
Shall strut down orchard road in glee.
Signing out,
Thats all.
