Mural Painting

On the 20th of May, some of us went to the Singapore Autism School for CIP! Everything was pre-drawn and all we had to do was paint in the colours! Easy? Think again! Our class was assigned the UNDER THE SEA themed wall! Think jellyfish, sea mushrooms, and SUPERBIRDs etc :)) BUT.. the wall is VERY big, and isn't flat, which made life 1000 times more difficult for us. Bleh.

So we go about painting.. painting.. and PAINTING. And Yichun continued complaining.. complaining.. and COMPLAINING. lol!

"Why is the fish's eye grey?! It looks so evil!"
"Why do ALL our sea creatures look so evil?"
"I think our wall is the most evil wall!"

and on and on and on and on..

After painting came OUTLINING - the most tedious job ever! Millions of hours later, we finish! Oh my! What was initially nicknamed an Evil Under the Sea wall, became a total work of magic! And Yujun goes.. "ONLY the bubbles look nice!" We wonder why..

All this while, Shao Hsien was happily working on his small wall opposite us.. lol. Was happily discussing about the Da Vinci Code with his friend.. Even when we completed the huge wall, they were still happily painting. Lol. Kept us quite happily amused.

It didn't end after the painting. We still had to clean-up, load the equipment on the bus, unload them.. In the process Dorea had a totally blue hand! Some people went to da bao food back for those still unloading. They rush back and i get my BUBBLE TEA! ( yay clam!)
In the end, we make it in good time for Touch. It was really fantastic! Well Done Michelle and our Seniors!! ^^ Now, i am just left to wonder what the kid's reactions will be like when they see their school's makeover.. Will it be one of complete shock, or excited joy....? Photos at class photobucket!
