First I went to Nanyang Polytechnic to film tennis. There I met with my SportSwap partner, Amanda(from Nanyang Girls High), who is the representative of her sport, tennis. The film crew started off filming Amanda playing some tennis with her friend and then got her to say a few lines (everything was scripted). She then taught me how to play tennis(which was also scripted), and we got into various tennis poses before playing while the film crew filmed the whole process. Then the director told us to repeat a few more times. All the posing, playing and our lines had to be filmed multiple times, and it was after 2pm did we leave the tennis court. According to the schedule, we were late, as we were supposed to reach Victoria School by 1.30pm. Anyway, spending the whole morning under the glaring hot sun got me a sunburned skin.

We reached Victoria School an hour late, and we got to work as fast as we could, setting up the equipments and taking down the New Year decorations etc. It was hard work, but we soon had the camera rolling, and we started on badminton. I played with another player from Chung Cheng High before doing my lines. They then filmed me teaching Amanda on how to play badminton and after posing and playing badminton with her, it was nearly evening. The whole shoot was expected to end at around 7.30pm, but it was 8.45pm when we finally wrapped up the whole thing. 

Upon reaching home I was too tired to do anything but to shower, eat and sleep, much less updating my blog. Anyways this had gone long enough. The programme will be put on air somewhere around March or April. Once I get the clip I will post it up, so do not worry. ~Nil Sine Labore~
