Open House

Got selected to do Open House. Supposed to go station by station showing groups of parents what we do and answer questions but Mr Ng said everyone show everything. Some parents are friendly but others like, stare at you, eyes wide open, not even blinking, then you say something they turn to the mac for like 2 seconds and look back at you and respond with an expressionless "uh huh". Some ask totally irrelevant questions after my every sentence then in the end I explained almost nothing. The morning crowd was terrible. We were at Champagnat Gallery in the morning when suddenly, you see strangers practically flooding the entire area so bad that you could not even move to the toilet.
