My class and the other form 5 and upper 6 classes were given a chance to open up our own stall during that day and we can sell whatever we want, as long as its halal. Last Thursday our form teacher Pn Goh discussed with us on what to sell. They came up with fruit lok-lok and sushi. Then CY told us that she used to sell ice-cream float at her former school during Hari Koperasi and made a whooping RM300plus! So Yen Hua and I threw in that idea to our form teacher and she instantly put the both of us in charge of handling it. After that day, everyone was so busy preparing for Hari Koperasi, including me. But I was extra busy because Dex asked me to help him in the Song Request and Dedication thing that he will be doing on Friday.
I think I can safely say that everyone was very much inattentive during this whole week as their minds were set on the preparation for Hari Koperasi. Everyone kept running in and out of class till it was getting out of hand! But we did what we had to do to get things done. After Pn Goh brought the list for approval, we decided to add in a few extra things and we divided and conquer all the tasks. Maggie and her gang did fruit salad, Lian Sian and her buddies handled the pearl milk, Yen Hua and another 6 of us handled the ice-cream cone/bun/cup and float, Brice’s mum volunteered to make ALL the sushi, Lanny and her group handled the fruit lok-lok, Mei Fung and her friends did the class decoration, and Michelle and the others decorated our stall.

Meanwhile, Dex and I along with 6 other people were busy handling the song request thing. Jonathan and I were typing out a notice to inform everyone about it and we found it to be quite a struggling task. Because the two of us didn’t want it to sound like a notice with horribly broken English, or an averagely boring notice, we tried to get creative with it, but we had a hard time coming up with simple English words that the other students can understand! For example, “serenading”. What’s a simple synonym for that word? We had to pause and think for almost 5 minutes. In the end we decided to go ahead with the word anyway. Apart from that, Dex instructed the DJs to come up with a list of songs in English, BM and Chinese. Yu Full couldn’t even think of more than 10! Adumak… Lolz…
Everything was going quite well and everyone was waiting for the day to come. And it did of course. The first thing we did was set up our stall at the canteen. You should have seen 5E’s stall, very witchy. I’m pretty sure that it was Andy’s idea.
The bazaar at the school canteenAfter assembly, the fun began. Everyone rushed off to their stalls and the fun began. The sales started at 8.30am. Liu Ann and I were scooping ice-cream the whole way. The first time I did the float, we poured too much Cola and the moment we stuck the straw into the float, the whole thing started to bubble up and flowed out of the cup! It was so funny! Our float was a hit, including our cones. BTW YU FULL, our float didn't taste weird, you just chose the wrong flavours yourself. Mai kuai wa lang! Lolz... I think we sold more than 80cones. 5C tried to steal away our customers by setting up their ice-cream stall way up front at Block E, but I think they failed to deliver because everyone who entered the canteen didn’t have an ice-cream stick from 5C. In the words of Akon, Woohoo! Lolz. Everything was so hectic and the place was so noisy. I put my shouting to good use and we kept screaming, “Ice-cream, 80sen!” At the same time, the petanque competition was going on at the school field, which was really hot. So I told CY to bring some float over to sell, and it worked! She had to make three rounds!

The bazaar ended at 11.30. The whole time, I didn't leave my spot, but if I did, it was just to pull people to our stall to buy our ice-cream. Haha. Some of our school’s former students came and they bought ice-cream from our stall! Former 5A students supporting present 5A students, that’s the way things should work! Lolz. Then our trainee teacher from last year came too and guess from whom did she buy ice-cream from.
Sze Wei, Sam, Zhuang Tak, Miss Adeline, Kang Hong, Nancy, Yen Hua and Michelle. SMILE!Bluek.
