Today was Special Program Day 1!

I was designated Photographer for the event. wootez.

I took English, by the way. We went to this Asian Films Archive place, which was somewhere near Orchard Road. We took about 45 minutes to get there though >_>

The start of the tour was pretty boring, however. We looked through some weird documents, and saw how to operate this cool microfilm machine.

The second part was more interesting. We went up and saw how they conserved the documents, like they used Nitrogen Gas to fumigate the papers, put it in Magnesium Bicarbonate [an alkali] to neutralize any type of acid that can possibly damage the papers. We also saw the old old tapes and films being played, which was rather interesting despite the fact that the speaker was rather boring.

The 3rd part was controversial. It was a talk cum presentation of films in Singapore. Some of the old films we presented were really, dead boring and i felt like sleeping on the spot. Josiah did, though. One of the videos was titled "Sunshine Singapore." What was it about?

SUNSHINE AND SINGAPORE!

literally.
oh, so you knew that already?

The later part was more fun. We saw more exerpts of modern videos and films, including Money Not Enough, The Maid, etc etc. I'm still so proud of the fact i didn't fall asleep.

On the Bus Ride back.
Scenario: I am sitting next to Jonathan, who is listening to my mp3 using one earphone while i use the other. Playing rather loud music. I am about to sleep.

Jonathan [J]: Wah Lao, Michael! I'm sure you can sleep like this!
Me: Watch Me.
J:Fine!

After turning about and fidgeting and adjusting the *&@!#@@( aircon [ which, Mush nearly froze to death of] i finally fell asleep. When we reached RI,

Me: HA!
Jonathan: Finee.

As we reacehd RI at about 2pm[which was the earliest among all the groups], we were dismissed. I had about 2 hours to kill. So, being lame, me and jonathan started walking around the whole of RI to kill time. We walked to the canteen to eat lunch [which jonathan wasted food], then walked to the Softball Diamond because of yours truly's undying curiosity, then to Admin Block to look for teachers to donate money to the Boys Brigade [Jonathan's idea]. then, we walked to junior block and to Raja Block, where i subsequently dragged Jonathan to RJC to go to 7-11. After wasting 5 minutes deciding on what drink to buy, i finally bought a slurpee :) and went back to RI. where jonathan incidentally decided to be so lame as to steal my handphone for the fun of it.

I decided to Dao him. He gave it back. hehe.
