An exciting day
Today was a very busy day for me, but also a very enjoyable one.
I started the day with swimming training at 8.30am at Geylang East swimming complex.
It was my first swimming training, after so many failed attempts to swim because of the rain.
Bernice and I were the only girls so we swam together. We swam both freestyle and breast stroke, a total of 2.2km!
Equals to 2200m, or 220000cm, or 44 laps! Haha. It was quite ok, but i began to get tired at the last 300m.
Practice ended at 10.40am and after bathing, I quickly went for my Japanese class.
I was late by 5 minutes and I guess I left a bad impression on the teacher because I was also late the first lesson.
We learnt a few more words today, but I haven't had time to remember all yet.
After that, I had to go to Vj to get ready for the fun fair. I was late and rushing like mad.
To make matters worst, I took bus 31 from Bedok interchange in the wrong direction!
The fun fair was actually quite grand. The stalls were nicely decorated and there was a nice performing stage.
Biz was doing glitter tattoos.
At first we did the tattoo for one another to practice. I made one for Jia Yi but it didn't turn out good. She did one for me, and it was very nice!
It's still on me now because I can't bear to wash it off. It's purple mixed with a darker purple.
Later, I did a tattoo for a SC and really screwed up!
I didn't know that the glitter would stick to your hand if you were sweaty. In the end, the whole thing was just a big mess of glitter.
I felt really guilty and lost confidence in myself.
After that, I went around to get people to come to our stall instead. Because I didn't dare to do another glitter tattoo for fear of messing up.
But after a while, we got quite shorthanded and I decided to give it a try again. I did another one on Jia Yi and this time, it was better. So I started doing the tattoos for customers.
Surprisingly, the next one that i did came out perfect! I was so happy! That little girl even brought her friend to get a tattoo. I was so proud of myself! Haha.
By the way, swimming also had a stall. It was a games stall where you had to throw hangers onto a string and if it hooked onto the string, you get a prize.
I didn't go to help out or pay them a visit because I was kinda busy at the Biz stall.
PM Lee turned up too. I didn't go up to him to shake hands or take photos, but the closest I was to him was about 1m. Haha. Cheap thrill!
We also had lots of fun doing mass dances today.
Although I reached home at about 10.30pm and was very sweaty and tired, I really enjoyed myself today.
Now I'm looking forward to a good sleep and waking up real late tomorrow. Haha.
Nitez!
