Today was really an unusual day! Here's a brief summary:In the morning, the TOOP members had to go back for a briefing on our new trip, namely TOOP Tanjung Balai. After that, we spent the entire morning working with our small groups in planning the activities to do in the village for the 4 days we will spend in Indonesia. In the afternoon, I went to take the seasonal flu vaccination at a clinic near our school after lunch. It cost $24.00 you know! Thankfully it wasn't that painful as expected. In fact, it felt just like an ant bite for a second or two. After that, we went back to school for more planning and had fun also with games that we planned to play with the children in the village. These include 007, Husband & Wife (the funniest amongst the rest XD) and Captain's Frisbee/Ball. In the evening, we started our hunt for the 'miracle pills', a.k.a. malaria pills. It was really awkward as we searched for pharmacies and clinics around the Bedok Interchange area like desperados! And then the pharmacists told us that the pills were not allowed to be bought by those under 18... So apparently we couldn't buy it ourselves. And clinics also won't allow us to just buy the pills without seeing the doctor... In the end, I asked my parents to buy the pills on my behalf.In the night, I attended the mini-concert by Bedok View Concert Band at the school hall of Bedok View Secondary School. It wasn't a full house, despite the fact that it was FOC :X Anyway, it was a great chance to see the band again and also to catch up with old friends :)
That's all to be said
