Arrived at Ginza Plaza's McDonald's at around 8.45am. Today is Operation ELDDS Banner (i.e. painting the ELDDS banner), but first we had to pick up the rest of the materials. Cai Ying arrived on time, but Xin Jie and Shan Ying weren't in sight. We left at 9.30am after learning that Xin Jie had forgotten the time and deducing that Shan Ying was still sick.

Crossing the road, we went to get the cloth, the paint, the brushes and the turpentine. When we returned to school, we were a few minutes late; Casandra and Xun Wei were already waiting at the foyer. We put out the newspaper and cloth on the ground and waited for Xin Jie to arrive because she was the main designer of the banner.

She arrived a few minutes after we had laid out everything. She proceeded to draw the outline of the design on the banner with a chalk. Once she was done drawing our ELDDS mascot (two little "aliens" back to back, one with a happy face and one with an angry/annoyed face), we began applying emulsion paint.

We finished applying a second layer of the emulsion paint. We discussed a little about the colour to use before deciding that we had to change one of the colours. We sent Cai Ying and Casandra to make the trip while the remaining three of us took a break. They returned with lunch and the paint we wanted.

After lunch we got back to work painting the banner. We packed up at around 5.30pm, but the banner needed a little bit of touch-up. We're meeting to finish the banner painting on Saturday.
