Successful - I Guess So

".. A green giraffe with two tails .."
".. Two tigers with one eye each .."


Now that I've captured your attention, I'll start my ranting about what I did today.

We'll get back to the green giraffe part later shall we?

For today morning (8.00am - 12.30pm), the executive council of librarians or whatever-the-hell-you-call-it organized an orientation session for new - in other words: Form 1 and 2 - midgets librarians. Person-in-charge? Yours truly, of course. *Bows for the applause that's not going to come*

Well, me and Andrea cycled together to school on 7am (No, this isn't a love story) to do some last-minute planning (as in.. playing frisbee together!), before we were joined later by some other friends at around 7.30am. Frisbee tournament starts officially.

*Time leap*

8.15am.

All our junior librarians were standing ready in 5 groups - according to their DoD (Day of Duty) - at the basketball court, while the teacher stood on stage as she gave them a briefing. What she didn't know was there was a *pile* of shit droppings faeces standing between her and the librarians. Any further elaboration.. is.. uhh, not needed I guess. Forget about it - let it be an inside joke among us librarians.

After introducing ourselves to them, we started our first planned activity for the day - ice-breaking.

The game - which was Andrea's idea - goes like this:

Pre-game:
1) A weird story (the weirder the better) is written by 5 exco members on paper. A question is then picked for the story, and is not disclosed to non-exco members.
2) The story is then shown to each group leader (5 total)
3) The group leader memorizes the story, returns the papers, and the game starts.

Game:
1) The group members line up.
2) The group leader brings one member (I'll call him "A" shall I?) away from hearing-distance of the other members, and tells him / her the story which he memorized just now.
3) "A" then talks to "B" in private, telling him / her the same story.
4) And so on and so forth.
5) The final member is captured by us exco members, and taken for interrogation then asked the question which we prepared before the game started.

".. A green giraffe with two tails .."
".. Two tigers with one eye each .."


Still remember that?

That's part of the story I made up, which is considered quite easy compared to the others.

My question..

.. "How many legs are there in total?"

"WHAT?!"

9.30am.

The 5 DoD groups are then led up to the library, where we taught them the basics of counter-managing, books-processing, and of course, snake-eating.

Geez, I'm SO lazy to elaborate more! That's why I hate writing what-I-did posts.

*Skips a damn large part of the story*

...

All in all, a successful orientation. Felt kinda satisfied when the teacher praised us for our commitment in making it a success.

I love working with my excos indeed.
