Hi to everyone who's passing by. I'm K.soon, n this is a miserable blog of mine..lol. feel free to leave a tag if u ever visit..
Blogging
the past 2 days... busy till i almost dropped. starting from 2 days ago.
In the morning, had softball camp. woke up at arnd 6.40 to prepare for heading to school.. reached school at ard 7.45 when the meeting time was 8am.. well, early better than late. after reaching school, we waited for everyone to arrive n headed to macritchie reservoir for a hike, namely, the treetop hike. reach there hike up, 5km to the treetop.. so called by the reserve.. the road was so bumpy n unstable, filled with pebbles n sometimes very soft.. like mud like tat.. hiked up tat time was still ok, but was getting tired... so we crossed the bridge on over the treetops after we reached.. it had a scenic view, very nice.. arnd 6-7 storeys high.. but was overall enjoyable.. but it was 'deadly' after we descended frm the bridge... i was v tired.. so were the others.. we rested awhile n started to hike down, 5km again.. that makes a total of 10km.. sian lor. reach the btm leg like going to break.. + i nursing injury... felt like abit of relapse.. n muscle ache also.. reach back school we played with water bombs.. bombed some people n ms z. was bombed.. haha... quite funny, seeing them snatch pails frm the girls.. after that went to bathe den prepare for barbecue.. damn it, we couldn't start the fire even aft 2 hrs n ended up using other's pit aft they finished their barbecue.. in the end ate only abt 3 chickens n 5 satays + 1 can of coke.. these enough made me cough for the whole night.. n adding to this disaster, i was hit by the soccer ball 5-6 times during tat day.. n i tried to evade it by moving to a corner n still got struck.. so suay ah.. n somemore they played soccer till arnd 2 or 3am.. n i had bizworld competition nxt day.. can die ah..
so talking abt the nxt day, wednesday 22/11. its somewhat the most memorable one. woke up at 5.30 after my alarm rang for twice.. n i realised that jeremy had been sleeping on the chair for the whole night.. he was the first to be awoken by my alarm anyway.. so washed up, n left quietly at arnd 6.15am. went simpang to have breakfast, two toasts n two half boiled eggs with a cup of chrysanthemum tea to stop the cough TEMPORARY.. the toasts were all chao da one ... dun think they professionals at cooking toasts.. den the egg so hot.. keep dropping when i plucking the shells.. so aft tat went on the meet audrey at tanah merah. den met michelle n annia on the mrt towards singapore poly at dover.. 45 mins of mrt trip.. n when reached there, we were too early.. not many people were there.. adding to the fact that we couldnt find the concourse , so we sat at the macdonalds at their canteen... n to find out tat the concourse was just above the canteen.. abit diao.. so waited for ms tay, n sat downstairs waiting. the registration was late cos their helpers were late.. so went in at 8.45 instead of 8.30.. once we went in, there was introduction n speech by the founder of bizworld. so after that, we started to discuss abt wad products to make.. we thought abt dustbins, cloths pegs, card games etc n finally decided on the clothes peg.. it was to be made into something like a windmill, where it would have cards hanging on it educating abt haze n can be played as a game with a rod on it. the theme on that day was 'the haze problem'. but at the first place, they DIDN'T specify the target audience, or tell us how much were the audience given to purchase our products.
so, it doesn't seem very fair to us.. beforehand, we were given tags stating our positions, but we were short of 2 persons, so we didnt really bother about that.we after we decided on the product, we tried to figure out the materials needed. they r as follows:
straws for the top
satay stick for the support
paper box for the base
scotch tape and wire for the hook.
so after we decided, we presented our proposals to the main personals n sold 3 shares. i also learned: the clients r concerned on how much they would make, and not how we would sell.
so day one ended, n we we had to pay salaries to 6 workers when we only had 4...not fair..so the 'next' day,we went on with buying the materials, each for 1BB(bizbuck)
so we started to somewhat mass produce our product, i fold scotch tape, audrey fold hook, michelle n annia decorate the cards... we took quite long.. there were snacks presented, mineral water n hotdog buns. so much for the $80 registration fee.. so we just made n made n made(anyway, we wanted to make 50 at first, but changed the target to 30 in the end due to time constraint and limited supply of workers).
that was after the planning ,we made by starting with the raw materials first, 120 scotch tapes n hooks.. 120 cards in the making, but in the end not all were used. so in the midst of production day, we had our lunch. We ate bside the concourse, free lunch consisting of rice, vege, fishcake, potato n chicken.. the air-con was sooooo cold..brr.. den was at that time rachel n minle joined us.. if they came earlier perhaps we can win... cos minle got experience frm last yr.. aiya, so we went on with the remaining 1 hr on manufacturing our products; do n do n do.. n our product very complicated.. cant finish in an hour at all.. so we only completed 16 of 30.. so sad.. nxt time DIE DIE ALSO MUST MAKE THE PRODUCT VERY EASY TO MAKE N SMALL N PORTABLE...
