The Sec 1 Registration was on today. I arrived in school at around 6.50am. In the canteen, councillors were sorting out stuff to be given to the parents, so I helped out to increase the productivity. After that and some last-minute briefing, the student leaders got into position at around 7.20am. As an ex-student coming to help, I could walk around the school during the event or station myself at one spot, so I hung out mainly outside the Design Studio where parents and students use the corridor along the room when they come in from the back gate.

The break came at about 9am; a few Careforce members went around the school distributing muffins to the student leaders on duty. The duty switchover was at 9.15am. While all of us waited for Mr. Foo to finish his speech and the actual registration to begin, I sat down at the benches at the back of the canteen and chatted with Shao Ming, Kegan and Clarence, whose brother (I think) was posted to our school.

The bookshop and uniform stalls began sales at around 10am, though the Q & A session in the Hall had not finished. As usual (it happens every year), a few parents sneaked out from the Hall to come to the canteen to buy their stuff earlier and beat the crowd. After some time more parents started to show up in the canteen and that meant it was time to make ourselves busier. Except for a few problems here and there, the event was mostly successful and the student leaders did a great job.

Once the crowds thinned out, we went for our debrief in the Hall at 1 plus, after which we had lunch together. While the other Councillors had some stuff to settle (I think it was about Sec 1 Orientation Camp 2005, which would be an overnight camp), I went to get my bag and helped some of the student leaders to clear some stuff. Some photo-taking later, I went home with Kegan to get ready for the next programme of the day for me, that is, a 4o1 BBQ.

I arrived at Yew Tee MRT Station at around 6pm, almost immediately spotting Abraham. The BBQ was at Delia's condominium and all costs, including the food, were sponsored by Delia (or rather, her family). Abraham and I then walked a bit in the pasar malam behind the MRT station, trying to find Delia, Aileen and Michelle, only to find out later that they had went to Delia's condo first. So we walked a short distance to the place and called Delia out to open the gate for us.

Juliet, Zhi Yuan and James came shortly after we did and together we walked towards the BBQ pit beside the pool carrying the BBQ stuff. Zhi Yuan wasted no time in starting the fire while the rest of us ... watched and helped out wherever we could. The majority of 4o1 arrived a few minutes after 6.30pm, and I went out after that to fetch Benny who came a little later. By the time I came back people were already beginning to eat the bee hoon and the food was starting to be cooked.

I helped out at the pit (started out with cutting sausages) and also had some ketupat (okay...quite a lot of ketupat) at the same time. I helped out till 8 plus and sat down to eat: cocktail chicken, fishballs, sausages, otah-otah, satay, a chicken wing and orange juice. After that I sat back and watched as the girls push and throw unwilling victims into the pool (girls first, then they started aiming the guys).

Most people went home at around 10pm when their clothes were dry enough. I was one of the last few to go home with Kegan.

PS: Haha, I'm dry, I'm dry! :p
