Okay so, I'll start posting now.

Well there were many things to blog about but i guess i'll start with my Service Learning Experience.

Okay well, I'm an even index number, so I'm in a group with Ronnie and other friends.
I was appointed In Charge for Fund Raising team, and it really was tough.
We met up on Thursday of the March Holidays to bake the Cookies.
Met Yi Han, Xue Si, Azeezah, Warah and Ronnie @ NTUC at bout 11AM and proceeded buying the ingredients.
Afterwards we went back to school and started preparing everything.
Ms. Tang took the trouble to come back during the holidays just to let us use the Home Econs room.
She's good, ain't she?
Besides, she also gave us some advice and also gave us the recipe of Ribena-Sprite we sold on the sports heat.
Well, I was the baker for the day.
Not exactly baker, but just keeping track of time and the oven temperature.
Ah yes, Zi Yin also came to help, even though she was sick, fever.
Everyone gave their best effort to make the cookies.
However, Yihan's dough dropped on the floor because she left it near the edge of the table.
Thankfully, it was not very much and we were able to make some 80+ cookies from the remaining dough.
Sometime between, me, Ronnie and Xue Si have to go NTUC to get more ingredients.
And another time during lunch.
We were made to buy the ingredients and lunch by the girls -_-
We sat together and ate lunch in the Home Econs room.
Then Ms Tang let us try 2 of her childhood favourite beverages, one which is a mixture of Ribena+Lemon+Sprite and the other, Grass Jelly + Soya Bean.
They tasted good, but i prefferred the ribena one, which was why we sold it during sports heat 1.
Well, we started packing the cookies after having lunch, and went home about 5PM.
We left the bags of cookies on Ms Sim's table.

On the first day of Term 2, we sold the cookies during reccess.
At first we were nervous as nobody came to buy.
Afterwards Merlin, Colleen and Emilia helped us sell the cookies around the canteen and then we managed to get more customers.
Overall, the total money is about $134.70, yielding about $80 in profit.
In the afternoon, we went straight to CCK stadium to set upp our drinks booth.
We went to Warah's house to get ice but it turned out that her maid forgotten to prepare them.
It was then we were waiting outside when Zi Yin suddenly stared at an umbrella hanging from the ceiling outside Warah's house and murmurred " Umbrella.. "
I looked at her and was like wtf? lol
And she just smiled lol.
We ran all the way to the petrol kiosk nearby to get 2 packs of ice, then ran all the way back to the stadium again.
Ah well, theres not much to elaborate on the sale.
Profit was much lesser than that of cookies, of about a mere $48 in profits.
Well, at the end of the day we (fund raising team + Emilia) took photos together.
I guess, all of us were really glad our effort paid off.
Total profit was about $130.

That's all then, i will post about the stuff we bought and the visit to METTA Home on Thursday, 2 days ago, tommorrow.
Stay tuned!
