Today is ACJC's 119th Founder's Day. I arrived in school at the usual morning assembly time, but the whole event only began at 8.15am with the arrival of the Guest-of-Honour, Mr. Ong Kian Min, Member of Parliament, Tampines GRC. After that the order of service was similar to the Combined Founder's Day we had about a week ago. The event ended sharply at 10.30am with the usual announcements. I rushed off to the Drama Studio later and got changed into my blacks, but Jo informed me that we'd only be leaving at around 11.30am, so we can go around during the waiting time. So I returned to the hall to help arrange the chairs back to the original arrangement.
After everything was done the other people in 1SA1 set of for East Coast Park for a class outing while I hung around the Drama Studio and then went down to the canteen to have a short lunch with Chun Jia and Yu Lin. We returned to the Drama Studio at around 11.30am, where we were briefed by Jo before she sent us off to the ADSD Complex with our costumes and masks in a bag which we carried on our own.
We took a cab to the location, but by the time we got in we realised the whole story: today was only sort of a preview while tomorrow was the actual thing, so the children had all left by the time we got there. So we slacked at our ACSian Theatre booth, the table strewn with materials for making masks and bracelets and phamplets about the ACSian Theatre Children's Troupe. It was around 3pm when we decided to pack up and leave early, convinced that there won't be any more children coming along for the rest of the day.
Since 1SA1 was probably still at ECP at that time, I decided to head over to ECP to meet them. I (together with a few other Theatre members) took the MRT southwards. By the time I got off at City Hall MRT Station it was 4.20pm, but I still managed to catch a bus immediately outside the station and reached ECP at around 5pm. The bunch of them were at the pool centre with Mr. Chan, who according to Chiang came 10 minutes before me. I played about an hour of pool before we left at 6pm for dinner at Parkway Parade (again). There were lots of fun at the dining table as Yen Nee, who joined us at ECP, tried to steal ice kachang from Chiang, drawing many people's stares. I went home by MRT from City Hall while the others headed to Hera's house again.
