Today, I stayed back with some others to clean the fern lounge and the eco garden. I was posted to clean the fern lounge. Wan Rong and I went to the Eco Garden group to get more people and in the end, we got Jia Yi over. Then we went to get rags. When we reached the fern lounge, the people inside were screaming hysterically. Turns out that they had seen a very large and black and striped lizard. Well, it looked like a lizard anyway. Then I helped to wipe mop and do some other things when the lizard reappeared. We were all screaming away. Jia Qi and I used to the broom to chase it away. Pity that we didn't take a photo of it.
Then Ms Pou came to buy drinks for us. Jia Qi and I helped to distribute them. And then later Ming Jun and Alvin needed scotchtapes to tape some of the board games. Again, we went to ask Ms Pou for it and she told us to get it from the general office.
The journey to the general office was very unpleasant. The clerk gave us this massive dirty look when we required scotchtaped from her. We went through a lot to get just two pathetic rolls of scotchtapes. However, they are of very good quality. But we did not ask for such a good quality, we could make do with the normal type. Seriously, the clerks at the office rots.
Then we went back to the fern lounge and told the rest to finish the scotchtapes as the clerk told us to return them if they were any leftover. As we were not happy with the attitudes of the clerk, we told the rest to finish them. The rest were more than glad to help us finish them. Applause.
Do this then do that. All the furnitures were later moved out and Jia Qi and I started to sweep the floors. And then mopped it. We have to thank Clerissa for sacrificing herself by carrying that heavy pail of water. Thank you, thank you!
When we have finished mopping the insides, we mopped the outsides. The rest were taking a break as Jia Qi and I were mopping. Then Ming Jun showed up. With Them. The Them are those people from the Eco Garden. They just started saying that they wanted to help with the mopping. We said that we could handle it and had finished mopping the insides. Then, some people started to take the cloth that we used to wipe the walls, bookshelves and all and started wiping the floor. Yes, the floor with very dirty cloths that had been wiped clean already. Then Xin Mei took the mop that we used to kill insects and started wiping. I can't think of it, we used it to get rid of the insects! Then she went inside when Jia Qi and I started to mop inside again. She was there complaining of what a poor job we have done and Jia Qi and I were there exchanging glances with one another. She was overboard. If she was so super, she should have just split herself into two and be at the Eco Garden and Fern Lounge at the same time. In the end, Jia Qi and I went out to rest since the group that had just arrived was so super.
Seriously, why did they have to spoil such a nice day?!
