This morning (aiya, yesterday le lah. Time had past 12am again. Why I always blog at this time?), went for the event at Kembangan. Met my friend as she called. While waiting for her at Jurong East MRT station, saw my Uncle and Aunt (Mum's eldest brother and his wife). My friend was late and so both of us were late.
As my leg wasn't quite right, while walking to the park, quite a walk (10 minutes?), I felt slight pain again. I brought my pain killer (the stronger kind) so I pop 2 in. I had no choice le as I am supposed to be dancing with 7 other girls. I did not strain myself there. Didn't warm up properly especially when comes to the leg exercises. Had marked through and we realized the stage is very hollow.' After which, we (LV and I) found out that they were just tables placed together and we decided not to let the others know.
I managed to get through the dance, not perfect but I can say I did my best. I gave my best shot and had thrown my worries about my leg away. After the dance, we watched the obedience show put up by a few of the dogs that were retired from the competition. There were also competition on which dogs will finish the food the fastest.
Before these competition, I had been going around with my camera phone, snapping photos here and there. Some of the dogs are in X'mas outfit. So adorable.
After all these photo taking, we were gathered back. Had a short warm-up session lead by ah Na and even another dance for our own group but I did not do especially those that need leg movement caused after the performance, after all the walking around and bending down to snap photos, my leg hurt again.
We had a game after that. Actually, should be 2 types of games. We were split into 4 groups each with a group of 6 girls.
1. Draw an object named on a drawing block with a marker without using our hands. We were given 6 strings. We had to tie our string to the marker and hold the other end of the string and used the marker to draw. 1st we were told to draw a circle which we didn't quite draw well. Very challenging. 2nd, a 5 edges star which we did pretty well. 3rd, a flower with 5 pedals. 4th, write the word 'Sunflower'. And the winner is my group. Yeah!
2. Each group send a representative. My group used scissors, paper, stone to decide who go out and I lost so I went out. We were told to face our group members whom would be shown a simple picture where they will describe to us and we would have to draw base on what info we got. It was so noisy that it was so difficult to figure out what my groups were saying. And I started to lag. At 1st I panick a bit but in the end, I keep asking for details like are the trees closed by sticking to each other, like are the 6 stones of the stone path from the door of the house all in a line or are they in twos, like where are the sun, where is the kite, how is the ribbon on the kite like, etc. I kept asking till a friend from the other group asked why I asked so many question. Why need to be so detailed? In the end, my picture was the most closest to the original artwork. LOL!
At the end of the games, we were asked for the moral of the games. Well, for the 1st game, most conclude that teamwork are important and each individual plays an important and yet different role. For the 2nd game, communication was the conclusion. We were asked for more and out of a sudden, I blurt out 'asking questions'. It became clear to me at that instance due to the game that I realized that when I am unclear, I must asked like I did in the game and used that at Sunflower or at school. Ah Kheng then told all of us that we must also take in mind all the details around us.
After the game, we had our makan! Our ex-chief maded us each a bowl of the Japanese cold noodle in the sauce which is very nice. There were otah, Old Chang Kee's Curry puffs, sandwiches, salad, fried bee hoon, drinks, and even ice creams.
Even though it was tiring, but I did enjoyed myself there.
