I went to Kegan's house in the morning to complete (well, try to) our Geography Holiday Project. Yan Chen came a little bit later. We originally planned to start at 9.30am, but Kegan's parents and relative were sleeping, and the room where the computer was placed was occupied. So we spent the whole morning watching TV.

We went down for lunch at 1pm, after which we went on a walk around Kegan's neighbourhood, our main purpose being looking for a bookshop. None of them were open. During that mini-tour, we passed by Kegan's primary school. Yan Chen and I were pleasantly surprised. In my opinion, the school reminded me of the 60s. Well, actually, the school was built in the 60s. The canteen only had 3 rows of tables, and the stage was at one end of the canteen, making it a hall as well. A zinc-roofed walkway led from the canteen to the classrooms. According to Kegan, this former school campus of Alexandra Hill Primary School is now used by the MOE. During the tour, Kegan also related some of his childhood memories. It reminded me of my own primary school life.

When we went back to Kegan's house, the adults were awake and we can finally start work on the project. A few minutes after we started working, the usual music came on again, and Kegan fell asleep on the bed in the room. He’s not to be blamed. After all, yesterday was a tiring day, and the weather at that time was perfect for sleeping. He did wake up later, and we worked till 6.30pm. I only reached home at 7.45pm. From there, I worked on the Geography project till 2am.
