Hi, are you interested in knowing more?

Yesterday and today was the MOE Excel Fest. Its an event created by the education ministry for schools to showcase their various projects. It was held in Catholic High School and I was in charge of promoting the National Youth Achievement Award scheme to the public and other schools. My teammates and me just stood at our booth and attend to people that seems interested. Overall, it was quite a boring task since not very many people are keen to know more about the scheme but there are some that are interested in knowing more though. The other booths during the Fest was rather interesting as well. One was telling people how silk is obtained from the coccoon of silkworms and they even has an actual demonstration. Then there is also one that exhibited robots. They have this robotic snake that seems to move whenever the visitors touches it but actually the displayer is controlling it with a small remote control in his hand. Some of the kids present at the Fest was quite smart as well, they actually know what a photon is, stuff that you won't get to learn until you reached the JC level.

While waiting for visitors to enter our booth, Dwayne would spin a pen in his hand from finger to finger and he could do it very well. I tried to mimic his actions but failed. I can't even spin the pen around my thumb. Guess my fingers are not very flexible. Still, I will continue honing my pen spinning skills . I was also told by James that there is a National Pen Spinning Club and that the members are really the experts in pen spinning haha. I din't know they would actually go and create a club for pen spinning :s

I was so glad when my shift today for the Fest is over because it was really really very boring standing at our booth most of the time and asking passer-by ''Are you interested in knowing more about the NYAA program?''. It would be good if they wants to know more because then we can kind of chat with them. But there really isnt very many people thats interested in knowing more though. I wonder why my teacher wants to make NYAA a subject in school...

My cousin came over today to have a drink with my second brother.. in the late afternoon and I temporarily became a waiter -_-''. Took a nap after that and woke up at 8pm. Have to do my homework now and gotta finish my NYAA report arghhh that damned 15000 words long report >.< Anyways I was browsing through the net earlier on and found some cute photos which I
have decided to place it here since I don't feel like starting work yet.











'Awww look at those black beady eyes.'


















'This cup makes my face look big'













'Bedtime'











'Brotherly love'















'Eeek, get away'







'Dont even think of patting him!'















'Howdy'













'Tasty nut'













'Hey, gimme a hand'












It pretty hot tonight. Guess I will take another shower later. And I still don't feel like doing my work.

''The NYAA scheme aims to encourage young people to develop attributes such as perseverance, self-reliance, determination and responsibility towards self, society and nation.''
