Day 2 was quite a interesting and fun but tiring day for me. It was the day for all freshmen( Secondary 1 students) to try out some of the CCA which is called EP3 (Enhance Pupil Performance Programme) in HCI. At first, we were told to go to the auditorium for a short brief by a PE teacher. Later, we were to go to the field to do some sports. It was Track & Field. This included 5 major events- Medicine ball, long jump , high jump , sprinting and the last one I was not very sure what it was. We tried all these events and found it hard to complete it.After that, we were expected to try out the CCA- cross-country. We were required to run around the whole school and were leaded by 1 of the students who had joined X-country. It was very tiring and tedious but we all managed to complete it. Later, we had our so-called 'tea-break'. As I thought that the lunch was at 12 noon, I did not eat much. But my heart sank when I heard my buddies say that the lunch was going to be on 2pm as I had only eaten 1 curry puff and there was not much time left. But after that we went to for Judo. We were asked to take off our shoes and socks before entering. The seniors there taught us how to execute some of the Judo moves and that we were expected to do that. one by one to try it out and we all succeeded, knowing that the seniors purposely fell to the floor with a convincing thud. Later, it was air rifle. We were taught how to hold the rifle. But i could not do it because of 1 reason and I am not going to tell you T.T . It was kind of heart-wrenching. Sob... We went to the gym and was to watch a presentation. It was about canoeing but nobody was keen on joining it. Later we went for squash. I actually wanted to try it but I did not do so in the end as we were expected to sign up for the squash trial if we were to try it.Then, we went for gymnastic. We were to take off our shoes and socks too. Then, we watched a presentation and we were to do trampoline. I tried jumping but it was not successful and when I was going to jump off, i jumped into a hole accidentally but I managed to get out. It was so embarrassing that once I got out, I ran off for the exit.Finally, it was time for lunch. After that, we asked to go to the 'salt centre' to see the uniformed groups like NPCC, NCC , Scouts and St.John performed. After that, I decided to sign up for NPCC. It meant that if I had no CCA to choose and when I placed NPCC as my choices, I would have the priority and have a higher chance to get in.Then, there was debrief and I went home with Clarence.Day 2 had ended...
