omg! today is possibly one of the best days ever! haha. ysc poster judging! (: hee. it was so exciting omg :p haha and we got to miss assembly and all the blocks after that! haha! lol it was raining as we left the school which, according to someone [i can't remember who] was supposed to be a bad omen. yeah and we had to dash from the bus into the convention hall. bahh.
ohh and we had to wear formal uniform. like blazer and blouse and tie and culottes and whatnots. haha joyce said i looked like a paikia prefect. haha sigh. omg and someone said i look like joyce! lolz. maybe only the uniform. without the prefect badge haha. (:
omg the auditorium at ngee ann poly is hugeee! when you go in by the main entrance, all you see on both sides are just rows and rows of chairs which extend really high up. haha. a bit freaky at first. yeah anyway. when we reached there, we pasted the velcro strips on our poster first, then put our posters up on the boards outside.
valencia and i were in category A and we were the last in our category to present! haha. there were only 4 math projects there, including ours. but the other 3 looked very pro compared to ours, so longlong was freaking out and going "can we just lose?! " sigh. how sad is that. yeah so i was comforting her by saying that we still had a chance and all that. haha. and guess what? i'm so happy! we got DISTINCTION! haha. i think only 4 rgs groups got distinction for poster! i'm so proud of ourselves! haha. i'm not sure exactly how many groups got distinction though, but i think it's about 11 or 12?a lot of ri groups got distinction. :/ ohhh yanyan got distinction too! so happy! (: haha. and zhihui and yingyan had merit! haha. quite good right? (:
lol. i seriously didn't expect it. haha. i mean we weren't bad, but our Q and A was a bit funny! cos the judges looked like they really didn't know what questions to ask us! so they started asking funny funny questions. like one of them asked "do you think there is a proof for the 4 peg theorem?" haha. so i said "erm. i believe that in math, for everything, at least one proof will definitely exist." or something like that. then she looked like she didn't know whether to laugh or not. i saw her lips twitching. sigh. the question sounded like a personal opinion kind of question okay. haha longlong was upset that they didn't ask more challenging questions during Q and A.
haha kaiyin is super funny! omg. she tells such funny jokes. like the paddy and paddy one. haha omg. (: damn funny! and entertaining! haha. sigh. i wonder why margaret and longlong said the joke wasn't funny. it was sooo funny! i laughed till i cried okay. but nvm. joyce found it funny too! (: yayy.
but now my feet hurt like shit! sigh. the bones in my sole hurt. so does my bunion. and some parts of my sole are blistering. my toes hurt. sigh. and the condition of my feet was greatly aggravated after the whole thing cos i had to walk out from the convention centre all the way to the main entrance of ngee ann poly first[the convention hall is very deep in! :/] and then i had to walk some distance to the overhead bridge, cross the overhead bridge, take bus, then take overhead bridge again, then walk quite some distance before i reached my house. thank goodness the lift stops right on my floor lahh.
sigh. i really don't know how i made it home. i was like staggering all the way! and then my feet felt like they were burning and i really really wanted to just sit by the side of the road and wait for dunnowhat to happen. haha but i decided that i could sit there for ages and there wouldn't be any magic carpet to take me home anyway. so i just struggled. i am determined and resilient :D *ego* terrible court shoes. and i still have to wear them tomorrow! i was telling longlong that i wouldn't have any feet left by then. :/ joking of course.
sigh i'm so sleepy now. can't wait for tomorrow! haha.
i'm still very happy anyway! we rock! (x
