CTSS Carnival Reflections 2009

18 April 2009, Saturday, the long awaited once every 2years CTSS Carnival has finally arrived!!! We were extremely excited and find it hard to resist our excitement due to the fact that the school experienced a wonderful occasion 2 years back and we want to feel it again! The new and accessible facilities in the new school compound provide an ideal place for the carnival. Therefore, I am sure majority of us; Clemeteens feel that we have greater flexibility in choosing the right place for our booths for successful, profitable and smooth run of businesses.

First and foremost, the school’s aim for this year’s carnival is to earn a total of $88,888 for it’s funds. This year’s carnival is slightly different from the previous as the school goes by the “class-buddy” system. This system required class from the upper level sec to team up with class from lower level sec, unlike 2 years back which involved individual classes doing their own planning. The aim is not only to guide the juniors (since it’s their 1st year doing it), but also to increase the bonding spirit of Clementeens by helping one another.

On the wee hours in the morning, before the commence of the Speech Day Parade, the school’s situation was already hectic, with students from various duties busy preparing, running to places and setting up of booths etc.

The Carnival was opened for business from 10 to 4:30. I was exhilarated as there are so many places to visit for food and games! The school has certainly try making good use of it’s compounds.

The food stalls were mostly set up in the canteen, with food such as students-made drinks, colourful candy floss, fried noodles (and many more) sold at rather expensive cost, but still worth the pay for the school’s benefit. (=

Look around! What do you see Clementeens? Visitors are enjoying the food we prepared!

Most games were located in the ISH, those games are indeed innovative. Well done Clementeens!

Songs dedication for friends and loved ones anyone? Or perhaps you prefer the hair spray?

Inviting the Guest-Of-honors to various booths.
Wow! Great stall ambiance!

Ofcourse not forgetting the Dunking Machine and Gladiator Game.
HEY! Who ‘hantam’ who?! Mr Tan K.K, Ms Toh?

Long queues outside the 2 Haunted-classrooms in school!! Eerieeeeee… {{O.O}}

Athough the school has only achieved $65, 000+ ( instead of the goal $88, 888). I believe we should be proud of how much effort and hard work we’ve put into the Carnival and the bonds we’ve earned when working with our classmates. Besides, do you realize how much we’ve also contributed to the community? The school has sponsorors from various food companies such as McDonald’s and Botak Jones, this also helps to promote their restaurants. The Carnival also has many families spending their Saturday family day is CTSS with us! How wonderful! Through this occasion, I believe Clementeens have learnt a lot beyond the usual text-books. We’ve certainly gained more confidence to lead and develop the humility to serve!!
