the CIP funfair thing was so fun! it was to raise funds for the childrens' cancer society(: i was during corrections for the physics SA1 paper when the announcement was made for the CIP leaders to set up the booths at the concourse. michelle told me to go down and help too but at that time i was still feeling upset so i didnt want to go. after doing corrections for a while, i felt bored and thought, whats the use of doing corrections? i should just go down and join them.
when i went down, i saw pei jun, wenxin, and brenda making the sour power sweets into lollipops. the sweets came in strips so we just had to roll it and stick a toothpick into each strip. i helped them as well. me and peijun did the rest of these lollipop thingys at the back of the booth until the final few packets, where brenda came back again to help. it sold out pretty quickly. 1 for thirty cents and 2 for fifty cents.
other things at the booth were uma's heart shaped, homemade cookies! i ate some and they were delicious! (: each packet contained 4 cookies and was tied with a red ribbon. at the other side of the booth, there was a game by irvin's group. the more marbles you could pick out using chopsticks, the more sweets you get.
oh yah. and the poster michelle told me to make was placed on the table at the booth. haha. it was so fun going around the other booths and helping to sell the cookies. there were some packets left after the fair so uma gave a packet each to those who helped out. yummy cookies! (:
after the whole thing i helped to throw away a bag of rubbish because michelle handed me a bag of rubbish saying she couldnt squash it into the dustbin. she shouldve just thrown it into the big black rubbish bins instead of the yellow one. haha. took some left over sweets from the game too. then went back up for normal lessons.

had st john! me and amalina went to find miss lim after first parade. amalina had to get the laptop for the first aid lesson for the sec ones while i had to get the cheque for the KSJ exam. miss lim told us that the school will be closing at 5pm because it was "eat with your family day". this eat with your family thing was supposed to be on the next friday but it was pushed forward due to the parent teacher meeting. haha. didnt know there was such thing as eat with your family day.
sec ones had first aid then footdrill, while sec twos had footdrill all the way. recreation was most fun. me, jingyi and shiya played handball for 3 rounds. the first round was to join the sec ones as they didnt have enough people to compete against the sec twos. then for the second round, it was the instructors against the sec ones and later it was the instructos against the sec twos. lol. had so much fun!

woke up and was feeling too good. asked my mother whether i was having a fever and without even checking, she told me i was fine and i had to get up and go to school. so i did get up and went to school with shiya for this public duty seminar thing. when we reached there, the sec twos greeted us. saw farah too. we went into the st john room and helped to staple the handouts and a survey form behind it. i kept sneezing and had a runny nose and used up all my tissue so i had to use yunqian's. i just sat in the room and felt dead. sir siow saw my face and told me i wasnt looking too good. in fact, i was looking paler than after doing footdrill. so he told me i didnt need to help out and could go home and rest. i called my house and no one answered so i called my mum's hp and no one answered so i called dad and no one answered and i had to repeat this several times before dad answered his handphone saying he was at yishun sending jie to school and may take some time to reach bbss. the rest went to AVT2 for the seminar thingy while i sat at the spiral staircase waiting for dad to come.
i didnt realise that i had a fever until i reached home. i changed my clothes and ate one panadol before sleeping. i woke up again at 12 noon to bathe and went back to sleep. the fever went down but came back again until it was 38.9 degrees. totally skipped breakfast, lunch and dinner, apart from the steamed potatoes and the soup i had that my mother made me eat for dinner. i had no appetite anyway. my mother told me to take 2 panadol tablets instead and i did so. ate some cough medicine thing too. after that my fever went down and i watched condor heros with my parents. luckily the fever was really gone, if not my parents would've brought me to the 24 hour clinic just nearby. after that i was really very hungry after not eating for such a long time. like hibernating. lol. ate some snacks before sleeping.
