Before everything I have to say here, I have to say that I am very thankful for I have gotten number 8th in the APMOPS Round 2.
DAY 1
Okay, I’ll start with the trip to Singapore. I had to leave the school early as I have to catch the flight, as you know hard they are to know to catch nowadays. (See what I did there?) Anyway, that’s what all the participants did. Except for Ang Xing Yi. (God knows why)
I left the school, ate some McDs and changed. Finally, I left for the airport and soon arrived. Soon, all the participants are too. Since I have the most experience and I’m really excited I rushed to the gates. So did everyone else. Except for Miss Kuah,our teacher, whom told us to stop. We (obviously) did not listen. Don’t judge us, we are just kids, okay?
On the way to the gate, we raced against each other. Xing Yi went on to the travelator while while I didn’t. Guess what - I reached the end before he did. He sure is one slowpoke.
After a few races, we reached the customs. Well, let’s just say Xing Yi and Yi Rong’s ‘scissors had met their end. Know what, they’re just confiscated. Soon, we arrived at the gate and soon boarded our plane.
On the plane, I told Matthew Poh and Ming Wen how a plane works. It’s about the wings and the air pressure and - never mind. We arrived at Singapore in 1 hour.
At Changi Airport, my dad was there to pick us up. We called 2 taxis and we went to Hwa Chong Institute. On the way, we had riddles, like this one:
Question: In the middle of a plain, a man was found dead. An unopened bag was beside him. There were no signs of murder/weapon/toxin, yet he knew he was going to die. How did he die?
Answer: The man is a parachuter, the bag is the parachute which he failed to open in time.
After a nice ride, we arrived at the institute. We had to climb stairs, but we soon got to the hostel.
Pretty soon, we got our key cards and our rooms. I had to share a room with Xing Yi.
Well, I’d say the hostel is really good. You get your own bed, air conditioner, there’s wifi and even a small kitchen for everyone to use. The only thing is the bathroom is a public one. Just so you know, I’m a huge fan of privacy.
After a quick unpacking, I went on to the bed and played some games.
6’o clock! I go down to the canteen to eat dinner. It’s not too bad.
After I’ve finished my dinner, I went around the institute and took pictures of the place. And boy is there a lot of things is take pictures of! There’s the gym park, the buildings, the trees etc.
After a nice ‘trip’ around the institute, I went back to the room. Apparently Xing Yi was there first. During about 8 o’ clock, it’s about time to take a bath. I let Xing Yi go first, and he is seriously slow, like, slower than slow. Good thing is, he came out, eventually. Then it’s my turn. When I got back, apparently Xing Yi went to meet him mom.
Soon, he’s back. Then, I decided that I should revise some of my notes.
During 10.20, Me and Xing Yi went to sleep. We told each other weird dreams we had. Wanna know mine? I had one where there is a whole airport in a apartment which only has one floor. Then I had another one where there was an alternate universe where everything is 1960 and yellowish, and I have like 20 siblings.
