3 Bulls in a Chinese Art Shop

And not forgetting Xinn.

On Sunday, Colin, AL, Xinn and I headed to Holland Village to help out with some extremely "omg-why-us?" sai kang.

Colin's Mac Enrich client had apparently needed help with stock taking at her shop and so he had asked a few of us to go down and help him out. I thought "how hard could it be?"

And then when I heard "Art Works"....I thought "Aren't artworks different from one another?"

YEP.

This is just ONE side of the shop, there is...yes....another side.

And they also got another shop, with more stocks!

Thankfully, we only had to focus on the ones within that first store. Hans had made a previous trip down to help out and by looking at him, u can tell he still has violent flashbacks of being confined in that space suffering from paint fumes that invade your nose when u unroll a piece of painting.

We spent from 12am-6pm and we only had time to go through about 285 paintings, unrolling, photo taking, tagging and re-rolling them up again.

Thank Goodness THAT's over. =)

Saturday though, Colin, Hans and I had sth a lil more fun to do, hanging at the American Club teaching a bunch of kids how to yoyo.

The only thing though was that the kids were really rowdy, and hard to control. imagine having 5 kids up ur neck asking ur questions at the same time and not being able to hear any of them because it just sounds like one big mess of...er..noise?

I think Sandra and Mel get what I mean, and are probably used it already....any advice on how to handle 4 feet menaces?

Try 45 kids of different ages and from dysfunctional families AND all suffering from hyperactivity.

Thank god I don't teach primary school.

The only way to handle them is:

SCREAM.

Then continue your lesson like nothing happened. If they get rowdy again, you shut up and see how long it takes for them to realise. If they don't realise anything, hit something hard.

I don't know but that's how I did it :p
