Cca walkabout
Today is the second day of orientation and we're having our cca walkabout.
I thought we had to set up our booths by 11.15am. But apparently, I heard wrongly, because it only started at 12.
There were only 3 of us who were suppposed to be manning the booth. Me, Melissa and Ryan.
I told them to meet at 10.30. Ryan couldn't make it because he was taking R paper. Melissa knew there were only 2 of us setting up the booth because I called her last night. But at 10.30, she messaged me that she'll be going for some bio lesson.
At that time, I was seriously shocked. How can I set up the booth on my own?
Jasmine also got angry because one of her members told her that she'll be late only at the last minute.
Both of us decided that we'll help one another set up our booths. After all, our booths were at the concourse and if we don't get the tables there, we'll have to move the ones from the canteen!
So luckily, we manged to get the tables.
Li Yue came to help me since she was free. I really appreciated it since I was feeling kinda lost by myself then. Luckily, Melissa came, then everything was beginning to fall into place.
I was really angry with Melissa for being late, but after seeing that the cca walkabout was starting later than I expected, I figured there's no point getting angry. We're friends after all.
I went to get the watering can to put at the booth for decoration and while I was rinsing it, a small black lizard came out of the spout when I poured water out! It was so disgusting! Eeew...
For the walkabout, Kimberly also came. And she sat at our booth for most of the time. She wasn't one of our members. She just came for fun.
All in all, we got 23 people on the sign up list.
But actually only 20 people signed up. I wrote my name once and Melissa wrote hers twice. It was just to make our list seem a little longer. Haha.
There was one particular guy who was concerned that horti is a girls' cca. (Can't blame him since all of us at the booth were girls) He only agreed to put down his name after I told him we had 7 guy seniors.
He had a friend with him but his friend didn't want to sign up. After both of them left, his friend came back after a while to write his name. This shows that they're quite interested!
That's good, because I was really worried we would have too few guys. Most of the people who signed up were girls.
On the whole, the walkabout went better than I expected. Nothing went wrong and our booth was very nicely decorated. Happy... :)
