School Event: Inter-class Decoration Competition (Warning, very long!)

There is so much to talk about this topic that i dont know where to start! Alright, I'll start at the beginning, close to a week ago, where i had lugged a 10kg bag to school with the excuse of it containing art materials.
It really contained all my art materials as well as my school books, but i think that the people on the MRT thought i was a bomber and there was a bomb in my overly bulky bag.That day, the rest of the team and i were in charge of the noticeboard meant to house all important notes and such. in my team were: Sin Joo, Priya, Cheng Eng, Charmaine, Zi Wah, Zi Yong, Man Hua and Stephen. not the best team to put together, but hey, we got the job done in the end didnt we?
Alright, so on that day, that very screwed up day, we didnt use any of the art materials. we simply planned what was to be used and what each person was to being the next day.
The next day, we progressed only a little but it was enough to get the plan going. we asked around for those who had bought blue vanguard sheet which was for the back ground of the notice board. But the most interesting day had to be yesterday, the 24th of January. We had decided on a nice rainbow to be places above the notice board and the decorastion was simple but enough to carry the message of 'Dreams Alive', which was the theme for our decoration. we had four clouds marking the four corners, our rainbow on top of the notice board and the notes on the board itself.
But before we finished our decorations, we had to create the rainbow of course, so we took three sheets of paper and created a 7 coloured rainbow out of it and while we were painting the rainbow at my desk, Zi Yong was just sitting there like a happy boss waiting for his henchmen to finish the job. so he said the rainbow wasnt that great and i pushed him off my chair, saying that he couldnt do anything better. Zi Wah was having lots of fun with the paint since we had to spread it with some cotton wool and he was 'w00t'ing while spreading the paint, like he had never seen the colour red before.
The nice and bright colours brought the originally dull classroom a youthful look, even though it looked somewhat like a kindergarten classroom. even though we had occasional arguements, the team and i managed to create a cosy environment for the class, somewhat. the rainbow gives the room a happy feeling which everyone feels when they look at a rainbow, thus creating the classroom into a place where everyone would want to study in. Mrs Tan told us that the purpose of the competition was to create a more conducive environment for studies, learning, etc. i really agree with her because i really like my classroom more and really feel like i want to study in there. woah, this post is really long, hope you dont mind reading this!!!!!!!!!!
