Fun at GMSS

Went Ghim Moh Secondary School for our school tour today. It is a freaking old-fashioned school. The experience was pleasant, the students were the most cooperative. However, I was pissed to see them throwing away our publicity materials carelessly all over the canteen, especially the mini quiz forms. It is not only just about the wasting of paper, it is about effort.

I was pretty motivated to shove the quiz forms into the students' faces today, and together with Bin, we had to hover above them and make sure they fill them all up before we left them alone. It always takes ages for those reluctant kids to finish filling up the forms, but at least there is guranteed response if we work like that. Just handing the students the forms and then trusting them to complete and submit them diligently only turns the canteen into a dirty one littered with our forms, postcards and brochures.

And then again, my motivation wasn't very well-rewarded, so much work for those few pieces of forms. Not to mention getting those weird stares from the kids and having to entertain some of those cheeky boys. I would love to just sit by the booth and count the forms, right Bin?

Me and Bin!

Two things I realised today:

1) It is damm freaking cold to walk in the rain. Fun though.

2) It is damm freaking torturous to wear rain-soaked underwear even after changing into dry clothes.
