Unhappiness aside, I realized that I haven't posted about my 2 other balloon sculpturing escapades! XD I've already blogged previously about the first one, so now I'll tell you of the other two.

***

The first one was Round 2 of the Touch Childcare Centre's Graduation Ceremonies! This time it was for the centre at Hougang, and the highlight was a carnival thingie with food and game stalls! (The previous one at Clementi was 'The Amazing Race'.)

This time, my balloon sculpturing stall was only one of the many stalls there; so I wasn't as busy as the previous one. (Plus I had better experience, especially with my notes-to-self. XD) Everything pretty much went fine and well this time; things were much more fun and less hasty.

At times, I had my own break-times too, so I got the chance to visit the other stalls! The food was great; they had those fondue fruits, and the chicken wings, and the cocktail/bubble tea drinks~!

Other than that, there were games too, of course! The games were more suited for the little kids, but they had these different rules for different ages! This meant that me, being somewhat an adult, had to do the much harder tasks. > . < E.g. Throw rings over cones from 50000 metres away. (OK I'm exaggerating, but. > . >)

Well occasionally, I win the game and get these prize tokens. What you do is you take these prize tokens to the prize booth and trade it in for a try at the lucky dip! So you put your hand into the magical box thingie, and you get a certain letter/number which nets you a respective gift.

Well since I couldn't get much tokens from winning... I went from lucky dip-er to lucky dip helper-out-er! XD My balloon sculpturing stall was pretty much out of business nearer to the end, so I migrated to the prize booth. It was really fun! Some kid would come up to the booth and have a go at the dip. Then say they get '214', I'd gotta' go searching for the respective prize! XD

At times, there'd be kids with quite a few tokens (The record was a whopping 49.), so I had to find all the prizes A.S.A.P -- It really made things a lot more fun! =D

Oh, and one last thing -- There was this small girl who came up to the booth and called me 'Uncle!' -_-

On Sunday night, my uncle called me and told me that he needed my help again. This time, it was a teaching seminar for north-east schools. What would that have to do with balloon sculpturing, you'd ask? Well, there's this concurrent enrichment fair being held at the venue, so there were many different booths that could possibly aid a teacher in his/her lessons.

For example, there was this booth set up by a drama group, and it taught teachers how to make lessons more interesting through drama. As for our booth, we were to help them learn a bit about balloon sculpturing, so that it can be used during art classes or to make lessons more interesting.

Well, what's interesting is the reversal of roles, I guess! There I was standing there, teaching teachers how to twist and turn the balloons. XD First we were distributing these 'notes' to the teachers, and then we were guiding them step by step through the process... And then we were correcting them, giving them tips and the like...

Well that could possibly be a one in a lifetime experience, I guess! =D
