As all of you should have known, (if you were paying attention during assembly) the Three Busketeers won the CHAMPIONS! I feel that we winning this is a surprise to many and I consider us the underdogs. Why do I say so? This is because even the Science Centre did not think that we would win as they left the three best teams for the last to let the minister see them and we were not in it. Due to that, the minister did not manage to catch our performance. How sad... ...

I think maybe the reason why we might have won is due to us being in a very relaxing mode. We did not expect to win and did not aim to be the top three. All we wanted to do was to do our best and have fun.

Another reason might be because we used very simple items that are available at home, allowing people to relate better to them.

Visual is always better than words so why not take a look at our video? Notice our family members cheering like crazy at the background.



But anyway we won it and I feel ... happy. I could not stop smiling that day and I felt as if all our efforts were not wasted at all. And as you would also have known, we won one thousand dollars in cash, another $150 for the 'Stage Presence' award + a renewable one year Science Centre contract. Now, what is this contract? This contract allows us to perform for Science Centre at per need basis. The best part? They pay us!

I personally feel that this contract is a good platform for character building as we have to communicate with various people during our "busking sessions" which can't be gained in a classroom setting. It also provides us with good exposure as we are dealing with the public and not only our fellow classmates.

Thus, I feel that it will certainly help us not only in our many years of studying but also in the future when we are required to conduct presentations for our companies in the work force.

Let's view some pictures shall we?
