MINDS Carnival
Before the last day of school reopens, which was on the Friday, the school of SCL held a MINDS Carnival. This carnival involves students from Year 1, Year 2, mentors, lecturers and of course students from MINDS. We have to report to school early in the morning to have our briefing for this event. This is a compulsory event for those people involved. Each student was paired up with one student from MINDS and this would be their buddy for the day. The people involved in the event were allocated by different buses whereby we were given an envelope with the buses written on top of it. I was allocated Bus D. That means my buddy is from bus D. In the envelope, there are still a piece of paper which is something like a game list, after you have brought your buddy to those game stations, let the game masters or game-in-charge to sign the paper. Presents and prizes could also be worn at the stalls. The aim is to bring your buddy to as many stations as possible. There are still candy floss and popcorn coupons in the envelope.
After the briefing, we went to North Canteen to wait then fetch our buddy. We were each given a tag with our buddy name on it. This is to help identify each other. We went to look for our buddy and finally I found her. Then I brought her to the hall for games and snacks. After an hour or so, there is a new event that came up, which is Karaoke session. My buddy saw her friends on the stage singing and she told me that she also wants to sing, so I brought her to queue up. Finally, it’s her turn! The stage MC was students from Year 3. They asked her what she wants to sing. She then told them that she want to sing Xiao Wei. So, she sang. Although at some point she does not really know how to sing, the MC helped her by singing with her too. After she came down from stage, she was happy. After a while, I brought her to lunch. Then we went back to hall again. We then sat in the hall to watch performances.
Lastly, the moment has arrived. It’s dancing time! Anyone interested in dancing could go up to the stage to dance. Music was being played. I then asked my buddy if she wants go up, and then she say YA. So, up she went. I saw her dancing happily on stage. After quite long, the dancing session ended. She came down and went back to her seat. Her face was red. I ask her why she said she felt very warm. After all the activities had ended, we had to bring them to queue up and be seated in the hall according to their bus number. Their teacher in-charge then needs to take their attendance. After attendance was taken, they were brought to their respective buses in an orderly manner. The MINDS Carnival had finally ended. It was a meaningful day…
