Hail Kaisers

today skipped sch n went to greenvale for KGS to present ICE to e sch.. quite fun... teaching mostly sec1s n sec2s abt our game...n v rewarding to c e children realli loving our games n playing with so much intensity..
woke up at 9am n to do last min preparation for e power point slides for e presentation. then richard n i rushed to city hall to photocopy e survey forms n get mroe gaming money n tokens for later....we also went to get presents for later..was kind of fun,if it was not rushed..then we went to eat koshimbo..yes so rushed n we still go eat buffet..coz they had this offer tat states tat eating for less than an hour will give u discount to 20 bucks onli..
did not realli enjoy e meal..e food was bad n they r more stingy abt their variety of food.. koshimbo has become so commercialised..still can remember e first time i go there, e food was realli great n my favourite were e cooked octapus in red sauce,which i gobbled lots n lots....now sadli,the variety is mostly e same but juz in different styles..
ate a little n yet did not feel well in e stomache later.. a good reminder tat sleeping well is impt for feeling good. anyway we rushed a cab to greenvale sec sch..n e cab came pretty fast.. e cab driver did not noe how to use e gps in his cab,n my brother had to teach e cab driver how to use it! richard is trueli a wonder..
aniway reach greenvale juz on time to present,n i was giddy.. as mentioned earlier,i went to e toilet to vommit n after tat felt well already. e presentation was smooth,xcept for one thing...due to miscom..we did not use e powerpoint slides n i had to give an impromtu presentation!! things went well n ok though..n e kids,while a bit rowdy sometimes,r well behaved generalli..
we later split them into 3 groups to play e game. they realli played e game with such ferocity,man i feel so proud to have played a part in designing ICE. during e game, gabriel was moz pleased with thsi group whereby they were more quiet, n yet silent n deadli in their negotiations n actions.. they completed e game e earliest n it was a close fight.. my side was chaos..it became a market place n everyone bargained n swapped their resources cards many times..so much transactions,no law n order..it was real nonsense.. but they enjoyed themselves too n they learn much too.. richard's group was like e average of gabriel's group n my group.. more quiet than mine,but yet much commotions too..
well,e game showed different styles of playing..n yet with e same mechanics n objectives n resources. but we were all happy in e end..coz things turned out well,n our game is doing fine! n we realli mean fine ,fine great!
anyway KGS earned our first bucks today.. e previous exhibitions n sch presentations, we did it for free,but now slowly,we r farming up!
ok will post those pics of today teachings soon.. KGS ,way to go! i gonan study liao..this freddie is a funny animal..ask him come my room study,he end up sleeping rite from e moment he entered! now still asleep on alex's bed..i gonna wake him up nowl.
