Camera*Lights*Action
Hey Everyone, DQ here.

I just came back from the PM visit event at the admiral garden.
Okay, not really, Just. But yeah sometime ago, and i came
back and then i slept and then i woke up to play a bit ...

BUT TO CUT THE LONG STORY SHORT (hmmmm the line sounds familiar)
My point is, I went to the event as a student helper. And as the
title suggests, it is indeed an enriching experience.

I reached school at almost 8 am which is the timing set
for student councilors to meet. Guan Wei and Mei Yin
were also a part of the crew today. Surej represented
the Robotics Club though.

After the attire check was conducted we set off to Admiral
Garden via the back gate. (Everyone knows I love shortcuts.)

We were a bit clueless at first but after that we met Mr Alex,
one of the ICs of the event who instructed us on where we supposed
to be and things like that. I think its really kind of them
to give us free breakfast:) (And Free Food too, thank you)

After breakfast, we went to our designated locations. And Zhen Yang,Mei Yin,
Guan Wei, Aainaa, Denise, Alex, Elyn and I were in charge of the whole
erm how should i call it ? Buffet area ? Yeah something like that.
So basically we had to serve people.

Elyn, ZY and I took the prata booth.
Yeah its just pressed prata together with the curry.
Im in charge of tearing coupons and giving them the prata.

It is definitely a great experience coz all these while we have
been serving just ourself or maybe friends and relatives that we know.
But today, its all about serving people that you dont know. (of course,
you can get lucky enough if the person you serve happen to be your
100th floor neighbor)

So yeah no one mistaken me for an Indian. So no one came asking for
extra curry in Tamil language. But there a few people who came
and ask for things in Mandarin. Its a bit awkward but because
im keen about learning Mandarin, I guess that's pretty fine.

And im so proud that i actually say something in Mandarin to some old people.
"Ni Yao Curry ?

Secondly, its about working with people we don't know basically those
from the catering company. As for us, we had to work with this Aunty
who will fry the prata while we serve the people.

Its really hard okayyyy *flicks my glossy hair*

I mean you really don't know that person. You have no idea whether
she wants to rest or not and stuffs. But she's really really nice.
At the end of everything, we were given one prata each.

*Awwwww*
Strawberry Aunty!

Its hard dealing with people who came with ten coupons and expect 10 prata
all on different plate and in addition, they also want curry in diff plate
and loads of other stuff here and there and blablabla.

But whatever it is, We survived this ultimate challenge.
Elyn called me the Prata Mama while she is Prata Girl
and ZY is Prata Boy.

I asked her how come my name sounds really unglam ?
As if im the real Prata Man!

LOL!

Oh oh oh and the best part is, PM Lee talked to me !
Yes yes yes he did! Im soo happy laaa.
And Ming Bin captured it and im so happpy!

He asked me whether i know how to make the real prata
including the swinging and everything. and i told him
No but i wish i can though.

Mei Yin got to shake his hand and say Hello to him.

Whatever it is, its really really tiring. To be standing
there for almost 2 hrs with NO BREAK!

So yeah the learning experience that i wanna share with all
my fellow Royals is that, do a spare a thought for those
serving every time we are que-ing up to get something.
Because things may be easy on our side but not on theirs.

But i guess on average, Woodlands People Are really Nice!

But,no offense or anything, the bottomline is,
"Its Wonders What Free Things Can Do To Singaporean".

Till then. See ya guys in a few hours time in school.
Have a good rest all right.
