The FOUR of us were split into two groups.. wat we had to do was basically to direct ppl from the MRT Station to the various halls.. it wasn't juz directin lor.. we had to USE the LOUD HAILER!! thats lyk SOOoOoOOoOOooO embarrassing riTe.. the problem was nobody could hear us cos of the NoISe around yet when they saw US they LauGhed at us.. i was reallie pissed off.. there was once we didn't use the Loud Hailer for a period of time.. then the SUPERVISOR came over and asked us if we were supposed to use the loud Hailer...
