Last Saturday, we went to NJ's Funtasia, a charity fun fair. I thought I would be super on and wear my old house T-shirt :p But it turned out to be a scorching hot day and the very thick tee was very hot!
Oops, didn't wear glasses when taking photos so missed out the R :p
We came from ACS BR open house and alighted across the road. Now the bridge has a lift and many teenagers were taking it. Hello, auntie needs it more :p
The side gate was not open so we walked down a bit to the big gate. It felt kind of surreal approaching the grandstand - how familiar!
It was very crowded as we walked up. There were families, students, more students, and student stallholders wearing placards - one guy looked at Yang and Yu and told them, "You two should go play gladiator!"
We went to find Sito's ex-colleague to buy tickets. And since the tickets were right outside the hall, we started with the hall.
Yes, they played gladiators! And they were very violent!
These two were less violent, just pushed and pushed and pounced!
They all won some and lost some. Everyone was happy. They'd better be; it was $6 per pax for a 3-min joust! Most games were at that range. Luckily we bought $100 worth of tickets. Let them play until enough.
Testing his reflex
This one a bit far from the sticks...
We came back to this for another round towards the end, and I played too
Yu just stood there looking a bit lost but rather happy :)
Kai tried to pick up from the floor and had to replay the game, when he plucked the money off the walls *.*
Yang was the most successful, keeping a hand stationary to grab whatever flew his way, and had time to smile at me!
Then we went to the alumni area, less crowded. Saw a teacher who was there when we were kids, Sito's ex-colleagues, and someone went, "Mr Sito!" Yup, his student, with a kid in tow.
Even though we didn't meet here :)
Boys, do you want to study here too? Better study hard, haha!
Must squat to eat popcorn
It was hot and crowded so we got tired quite quickly. Later, all three were squatting in the canteen. Some stalls were open to participate in the fun fair. We bought fishballs, popcorn chicken and drinks with tickets. I was tempted to ask the noodle stall auntie if she was here over 20 years ago coz she looked familiar! I loved those crispy noodles on Thursdays!
Back in JC days, we took many photos here
The peace of the library was broken by these two monkeys...
After taking the photo above, I saw that the first shelf on the right was Chinese fiction. Must be where I got all my Jin Yong novels from :p
I used to frequent this wing of the library. I have sat at the far end, as well as the alcove on the left of the photo. But mostly, I sat at the corner to the left of this row of seats but I couldn't take a photo as there were people there. In any case, that corner looked different already, more a cosy corner than just study seats.
The games came with stickers, the number of which depended on how well you did in the games. The students were nice to accommodate my request to even out the number of stickers on our three cards. So very fair, no quarrels. We went to the prize booth to collect prizes.
As it turned out, our 30 stickers qualified us for the top tier of prizes! But they were all soft toys and I said no. Managed to get three lower-tier prizes instead, very fair! And last night, we had fun playing the pop pirate barrel game :)
What were they eyeing...?
The track!
Kai and Yang had their first NAPFA test recently - apparently, they did it all indoors! So now they were keen to run under the hot sun! 跑了才知道累！
Took this photo while waiting for them to finish their 400m
While we studied in the study areas and the library, we used to spend time relaxing at the grandstand. I couldn't remember what we did there though Na reminded me we played bridge there!
Carefree student life :) Hope the boys will eventually enjoy school like I did JC :)
