I choose the path far away and ended up in Hortpark, in an all too familiar atmosphere that I hate.
But I has there anyway, the only one from ChungChengHigh, appearing alone without parents or friends or whoever. I registered, and got a 2kg goodie bag, and sat near the toilet (beause I knew no one else would sit there) and drew.
Took a good hour-and-a-half.
Screwed up in the colouring, wasn't satisfied but passed it up anyway.
Waited for a boring one hour, saw my entry being shortlisted. From afar it looked unskilled and boring, not like the other catchy colourful ones from students from art clubs.
Boo! I won consolation.
Me, with my baggy jeans and black shirt, all sorts of chains and charms dangling from my neck, and the heavily contrasting pigtails (or bunnytails) walking up to the stage.
Some people exclaimed, I heard a laugh.
But who cares?
Everyone except me and a Manjuri Secondary guy (MSG) were from Raffles Girls.
The MSG was really intrested in the swing picture and asked me if I did it.
I said no.
I pointed mine out. Couldn't see it from here though.
After that all we went home, everyone got really excited.
MSG telling this interviewer about how he always gets consolation.
Girl in front of me (she's 9) deciding to donate all her prize money ($400..) to charity.
Wow. Model parent. Model child.
Parents really excited, and sis keeps on bugging me.
Telling me I should join something National.
I guess I should join something national, like the National Toilet Bowl Design Competition.
And I'll win cause I'm the only one joining.
