Sorry for the long posts(including last times'), cos I really had a long day...
I went to a zoo CIP yesterday. It was fun and I really enjoyed it.
The night before I was in delimma cos I have to choose one from the open house CIP from HCI or the zoo CIP from TXY. The zoo CIP is going to be very tiring so I wanted to go for the open house, but I was later told the zoo CIP is compulsory as I've already signed up for it so I had to tell JX I'm not going for open house.
Then, I went to read the criteria for attending the zoo CIP and found I was actually underage(age limit=15, I'll only be 15 after my bday in july) so I had to tell JX I'm going for open house again.
THEN, the person I/C of the zoo CIP told me they count the age limit by the year so I was officially 15 to them, and since I've signed up for it, it's still compulsory. And again I had to sms JX I'm not going for open house.
Actually I didn't want to go for the zoo CIP, I knew it would be fun but it's from 8am to 6pm(and I had to wake up at 6am to reach the zoo on time). The open house CIP is from 9am to 1pm(and I only have to wake up at 8) But I didn't have a choice so on I still attended the zoo CIP...
It was really fun, it wasn't really the actual CIP but just the training session. We still have to go to the zoo for at least 12 hours to guide the tourists during the holidays. We toured around the zoo and then we went 'behind the scenes', this includes touching the animals, etc.(which is really fun) During the CIP, I felt like I was a kid again, cos I bearly met the criteria for age limit and I was one of the few teenagers there. Most of them were either JC, poly or uni students. There were only a few secondary students and among them I was the youngest...
After the activity I went to SPH to help out, this is my first time working there after I got into TXY(I was really busy before that). We worked all the way till 8.30.
On my way home(MRT from Toa Payoh to Clementi), I met a few pai kias on the MRT. There are two 'parties'. One guy from a party was scolding another girl from the other parties. ok, not really scolding, he was just telling his friends about the other girl, which was meant to be heard. Then the girl was doing the same thing. AND I WAS STANDING BETWEEN THEM! I bet I haven't heard that much vulgarity since the start of the year and almost every sentence they said it contained at least one vulgarity.(most popular: KNN, CB) Actually I don't really care cos it has nothing to do with me, but ten minutes later I realise I was taking the wrong direction and I didn't realise it before cos I was listening to their arguement... haiz 自作孽不可活...
On the way back home(in the correct direction), I was thinking how come I haven't been hearing lots of vulgarities. Most probably cos hwa chong ppl don't really use vulgarities. ok, we might use it to curse sometimes(most commonly used: s***, f***) or say it when we are just joking with someone. But when we really want to insult someone and want him hurt seriously, we seldom use vulgarities cos it's not powerful enough.
When I reached home I was REALLY exhausted... Haven't worked so hard in my life before~
