Chapter 203: AJC Openhouse

Before going into the openhouse. Let us examine some hilarious stuff from what i saw yesterday. It all happened at the lrt station's exit gantry. For simplicity sake, I shall define things first: The gantry on the left is named X. The gantry on the right is named Y.

Let the story begin:
A lady, was on the phone, walked towards gantry Y. As she was talking on the phone, she didnt notice that she actually tapped her card against the gantry that is meant for X! When that happens, the gantry at Y is not closed yet as the previous commuter just passed it a second ago.
So she walked forward gantry Y, and the gantry closed on her. So she was stuck, but was close to the gantry. As i saw that, I told myself something funny is going to happen, so i decided to stop there and not do anything, lest i become a victim.
This instance, another man walked towards gantry Y and tapped his card! So the gantry opened, the woman crossed and the gantry closed on the man.
Self-pawned. I thought.
This time, let me adopt a suitable pet phrase from nich khaw: "best brains". He actually tapped his card to let the woman, who made a mistake, exit. Double mistakes..

When the man tried to tap his card again, it returned error of course, shining the red light. I quickly went to the gantry right to Y to make my exit. He was still struggling continuously. LOL.

Now to the focus of the chapter: openhouse. Its time to open the house, so that air can rush in!

At 10.30, I went to room 1312 and attended a briefing. At 12, I went to LT1 (Lecture Theatre 1) to play the video for the principal's dialogue. But before that, we have to do an intro and ending after the video ends. The shift lasted till 12.40. Then went back to 1312 to do my shift for promoting the robots for the cca. Qi Xuan was a great promoter. He manages to bring in people. He also did alot of unbelievable stuffs. He said that the main selling point of our cca is that we HAVE A LOT OF FREE TIME! AND WE HAVE 100% PROMOTION RATE. LOL. He showed a guy his chem booklet, saying theres alot of hmwk, thus free time is very precious in aj. Thus he shld join cxtreme LOL. He also keeps mentioning about the 1st prize we got for National Junior Robotics Competition (NJRC). In actual fact, it was an entrepreneurial award LOL. (and not really for the robots)

The day was mixed wif several fun filled things too. Like how Ryan mistaken a student for a parent, it was damn embarrassing for him. He actually said "Would your child be interested?" to a sec 4 student.
And Qi Xuan also wanted to ask people to sit on the chair so that he can roll them out, sitting on a rolling chair.
We also played with the balls (that came from the lego set.) We were trying to shoot them into the holes on the table (Dont be mistaken. AJ isnt poor to the extent that they dont replace tables with holes... The holes are intended for wires and they are made intendedly.

Other interesting stuffs to note are that nich khaw came wif his cousin, Benedict, my sister came to the openhouse too and binghui visited me at 1312.

Oh and my 2nd duty is at 3.05-3.40 at the LT1 too. This time the crowd has vanished and the theatre was empty, so we skipped the second session of the video screening. Poor Gary has suffered for around 4 hours watching the same old video of the principal's dialogue over and over again. The dialogue video last 10 mins and is shown every 15 mins interval. (e.g. 1:15, 1:30, 1:45, 2:00, etc)

At the end of the day, the visitors are almost negligible and ppl who looked in our cca is close to 0. So, we played with the balls again and developed a new game called the extreme blaster! Thats a good thing as we have found something we could do on our next cca session :)
