I went to school today for the designing and painting of our class flag. A Class Flag Competition was organised in conjunction with Sports Day 2004, so 4/1 planned to paint the flag today.

When we gathered in our classroom, I realised that although there was no design yet, they had already bought the paint. Also, they seemed to have bought the wrong type of emulsion paint. Therefore, Xianglong and Pei Ying went back to the shop to exchange the emulsion paint and one of the colours (the shop was just across the road from Ginza Plaza). The rest of us came up with designs for the flag in the meantime. We then voted for the design to be placed on the flag. The winning design came from Kegan.

Once the duo came back with the right paint, we began applying the first layer of emulsion paint on the cloth. After the second layer was painted, we waited for it to dry before applying the colours, which we finished by noon. Clean-up was the messy part. We used the staff toilet and lots of turpentine. We went home group by group.
