Ran back and forth from my house and school yesterday while preparing for Funorama. Hung around outside school, in the grassy patch behind the barbwire fence directly in front of our classroom (in the container block) yesterday with Kboon and Shaun waiting for Kelly to pass the banner cloth to us.

Kboon + Shaun: *grabbing hold of the barbwire and rocking back and forth* [chanting] Let us in...let us in....let us in...
J2 girl: *giving us weird stares* What are you doing??! *goes into classroom and slams door*
Kboon+ Shaun: ...Let us in....let us in....let us in....
More j2 ppl: *peering suspiciously out of their classroom at us* ..........
Kboon: *yelling* What?!
More j2 ppl: .............*slam door*

Sat on the grass and played daidee as we continued to wait for Kelly. Figured no one could do anything to us, since technically, we weren't gambling in the school itself. Kelly came a little while later and attempted to throw the banner cloth over the fence to us, but it got caught in the barbwire, whereupon Shaun tried to scale the fence to get it. Then the J2s peered out again and decided to throw out a chair to help us.

Designed our banner for the games stall the same day after we sewed the cloth together. Decided to draw a man peering out of a cubicle in a female toilet. Kboon had a go and we ended up with this funny looking shapeless thing peeking out from behind a door with hands gripping onto the edge both above and under its head....looked like some animal crawling out from the sink!

Spent most of the day today in class trying out our projectiles - these putty/playdoh-like things we made from flour, salt, water and oil in my house 2 nights ago - also known as Blob I (more oil, water), Blob II (extra flour) and Blob III (dehydrated and subsequently bloated after we pumped in more water.). We left the blob family in plastic bags in the cupboard in our classroom the night before and somehow the oil seeped out...so we've got a very oily cupboard now!

The most common quetion asked whenever people see our projectiles/blobs - "Is that meant for eating/baking?"

Aaron: *after hearing what's gone into the Blobs* ....Your stall sounds scary.

So spent about 2 hours throwing the projectiles through suspended toilet seats in the classroom this afternoon - the toilet seats cost 60 bucks in total! The games committtee's going to take back a seat each after Funorama and autograph them all.

The food committee's coming over at 7am tomorrow to prepare the ingredients. Will have to somehow roll myself out of bed then and make sure Daniel/Ian Poh don't blow up the kitchen =p
