Its still early on a Saturday morning..slept very late & woke up real early. Still exausted from last nite's race & here i am in school overseeing the Annual NCO camp..more about that in my next post.
Last Friday evening, me & my frens, Mr H, Miss N, Miss G and my HC ex neighbour, took part in NIE Director's Race 2008, also a charity drive in Aid of Singapore Chidren's Society.
We were given 2 hours & 20 minutes to explore 6 destinations within the NIE vicinity & performed tasks that included making clay pots, drawing portraits of team members, solving rush hours and answering some real difficult questions in the library. Being a competitive team, led by an equally competitive team leader, the sole NIE staff, we managed to come in 1st in a time of 1hour & 14 minutes.
However,the winner was based on the total marks accumulated from the tasks in each station & not time taken..nevertheless we came in 1st runner up losing to a team who came in 30minutes later than us.
We won a cash price of $200..yaahoooo!!!...i've never won anything bigger than a $10 shopping voucher in occasional lucky draws during Teachers' Day dinner...hehe
Anyway.. i guess it was my lucky day afterall, after the prize presentation, i was rushing to get back to school to join the NPCC camp.
When Miss G insisted that we stay back for the Top 3 prizes,
I pointed out,
" Aiyahh...sure cannot win one lah..top prize some more..!!"
and i walked away...
however Miss G excitedly called out to me..
"Sham! Sham! Your number!!.."
My tag J102, had just won the 2nd prize!
Yiipeeeeeee!!A $400 NTUC voucher!!
That is at least a good 2 weeks of free groceries...hehe..
I always tell my cadets when i sent them for competition that winning is always a bonus...well i guess this BONUS is sweet & good!Labels: Friends, NIE
