Popcorn selling...+Soccer!
Yesterday, was quite a fun day...cept for the part where I had to wake up to an sms by Ms Tan, my band conductor...she wanted us to clean the popcorn machine at 9.30am. However, when I woke up...it was already 9.30! And furthermore...the sms was sent to me at 6am...when I was still sleeping! Talk about last minute...-_-
Called Leon, En Hao and Benjamin. En Hao, now our drum major, but was in the entreprise department with me and leon was going to school as well...but they had a meeting with Mr Heng. So, Leon came down and helped. Soon, Il Shan, Justin and Benjamin were down as well to help. It seems that the primary school were having a cca showcase that day...as it was quite conjested at the canteen area. We set up the Popcorn stall using the powerpoint of the water cooler...LOL...cause the rest were taken up. We got off quite slow as we scrambled to start cooking the popcorn as a crowd of primary kids surrounded the machine and bombarded us with questions like..."How much?" or "Why take so long?" when we havent even started cooking yet! OMG lol...they should be more observant...
Finally got it going and soon, we were making a profit lah...At the end of the thing...we earned $71. After deducting the possibilities of the cost...we made like $60 in about 1 and a half hours...(not bad lah) but tiring...haha. Then we ate lunch and went for Band Practice.
We had combined until 3pm. Then we had tutorial with Mr Vincent Goh from 3-5pm. Mr Goh is from the SSO :) He recently became our Tutor for the Clarinet section...and he's GOOD. He also has a son in Cat High haha...but his son is not in band. :(
Mr Heng combined us at 5pm-6pm. At 6pm, we played soccer after band. My team was, "Me, Yuesheng, Yunsong, Shawn, Aaron, Weiheng". The other team was, "Timothy, Ingmar, Clinton, En Hao, Leon, Chuen Chin, Melvin". I had to go settle claiming of money for reeds with Miss Wong first. When I came back, the other team equalised and we were at 1-1. They scored another and we were down 1-2.
However, we were soon back as I equalised due to carelessness of passing between Leon and Chuen Chin and I had a easy tap in. Yunsong had to go by now and we were now at a disadvantage. The opposing team soon scored again. We were down 2-3. After that, I changed with aaron and became the goalee. As luck would have it, I scored from a goalkick and it counted....so we were now 3-3. They scored and weiheng scored. 4-4!
They scored again and that seemed to be the winner as it was already very dark. It was night time by then. However, we refused to sucumb to the scoreline and perservered. I equalised with another goalkick and the score was 5-5...everybody was nervous...tired...hard of seeing haha...but we still continued.
Last gasp opportunity. I switched with Weiheng to become defender and took the goalkick. It swerved from my right to the left and drifted in to the goal! WHEEE we won 6-5 at the eleventh hour! LOL...
That wrapped up the day...but it was really a team effort! The opposing team gave us a great game as well...Thats one of the reason I enjoy band...Music and Bonding! It's just great! :D
Thats all for that day...Bye
