Even if the morrow is barren of promises, nothing shall forestall my return, to become the dew that quenches the land, to spare the sands, the seas, the skies...I offer thee this silent sacrifice...

Something that took place in school (Eng. Assignment)

Today, my good friend Marcus and I stayed back together with Benjamin to complete several of the decorations for our class. When we first entered the class room after Chinese class, it was already dismissal time, so most of our classmates had already left, except for those who had to stay back for detention with our English teacher Ms Tan Y L.
The first thing we had to settle was the Chinese New Year docerations. Our form teacher, Miss Reyna Choo, came in to assist us and teach us how to fold small "fire cracker/streamer" looking things from red packets, fish and these beautiful ornaments that could be hung from the ceiling, the half-finished result looked something like this...
(Somehow, the picture can't rotate)
The ornaments and Chinese New Year decorations were made from Red Packets that were supplied by several members of our class. We folded the red packets so they looked like "Boats", then stapled them together, the fishes however, required scissors to cut. Marcus and I spent about forty minutes stapling and folding, but our jobs were made easier when Daniel yeo came to assist us with the stapling and folding, even though some of the results were not up to our standard. In the end, we managed to complete 3 ornaments, 5 "fire cracker/streamer' things and 1 fish...not a very desirable result, but one we had to deal with due to the constant waves of lethargy that constantly swept towards Marcus. We then moved on the do up the class notice board. It had already been covered in white Mahjong Paper from the previous year, so all we had to do was do the drawings on it. I had to use a marker to draw out the words "Notice Board"
and draw several designs on it to make it more colourful. Our Class Logo and Motto "Never Ending Flame" were drawn on the board by the best artist in class, Cheng Geng, but of course, being class monitor, I had to be the one who had to supervise the entire designing procedure.
(Somehow, the picture still cannot rotate!)
Other than just drawing, we had to colour all of our drawings with crayons that I brought. It was an extremely tedious process which was made alot easier when Benjamin came to assist Marcus in the colouring process while I planned how to design the rest of the classroom.
After another hour of colouring, planning and touching up, we managed to finsh the class notice board and planning for the entire classroom, at this rate, the class decorations could be completed by the end of this week and I'll be able to breath again!
