on tuesday went to Mediacorp to support the RISC in the great science challenge. Studio is actually not as magnificent as u see on TV.

when we went in, alwyn walked in front of me and i heard one of the SCGS girls seated at the audience seats mention "cute butt". mr Xu wei zhen(if i didn't remember wrongly) said he heard that too. :-) mao tong was quite pissed when i mentioned it to him. later, there was an experimental round rehearsal, and for the fairness of the game, everybody except the presenting team and the organisers were to get out of the studio. someone(4got who) said that they let us out and they would expect us to go to the toilet, and off we went.

alwyn rushed in and used the only urinal in a rather.. isolated toilet near a carpark. i was queued up behind a friend called "ng yongsheng", and as alwyn was pissed, i purposely knocked into ys a few times causing his **** to knock into the urinal. later when i pissed i got knocked a few times as well...by who else....

yiyuan was using the cubical to shit, and *some ppl* pushed against the toliet door from outside to lock him in. when yiyuan tried to come out he was kinda stuck inside, so he pushed the door outwards with all his might and with his ingenuity, pushed the door handle upwards. the door happened to be hinged from above, to needless to say the door got detached.
so all of us tried to stuff the door back in but was quite useless. some ppl heard the noise and went in and said,"sigh, spoilt again" and mr Xu walked in too, and asked us wad happened. he tried not to laugh and said,"ok, if i were you, i would put the door some place where it wouldn't drop, and leave this place as though nothing happened." so we left.

later we met the teacher and gordon asked,"are we going to be late?" mr wee said "not likely anytime soon. go and amuse yourselves without cards" then this triggered some giggles from mr xu and us. some other teacher said "did u break anything?" "erm...." "wait, let me rephrase, did u try to break anything? because sometimes you may try to break something and it doesn't" "OH no nonono... we didn't try to break anything, we wouldn't do that" then mr Xu, sitting beside the teachers, was really trying very hard to keep himself from breaking into laughter... his whole face was red...

so into the competition. ri team thrashed the rest in the first elimination round, with a score of 38 marks as others got 28, 26, 25. SCGS was eliminated. then the score was reset to 0 and next came the speed round... basically from 4 answers choose the correct one and the fastest gets 2 marks while the rest gets one mark, and incorrect or null answers get 0 marks. so basically it was a button-spamming round-and-some-luck round. it had only 6 questions. ri lost. IMO thats quite screwed up, because the questions are relatively easy for a show that is to be screened on TV, and 10 seconds are given to answer, while actually everyone answered in less than half second. so everyone was just waiting for the timer to finish. dunman was an expert button spammer. so they won. boohoo. qns shud've been more and harder this year. (personally i wouldn't be confident if i could answer it if nex yer was harder than this year.
