There was this “service learning day” for all the secondary ones on Monday, and our class had a lot of fun! We set up a haunted house to show the school that service learning day can be fun and also to promote our composting bin that our class had started since the start of the year.

Our haunted house was not very scary. From my friends of other classes, it was funny than scary! We would have two ju-on at the door playing marbles, and a girl ju-on scaring our customers everywhere they go. Then we will have a flying head, followed by the tickling of feet with the brooms. Then, hands will be flying out of the garbage bags and the hands will then tickle their shoulders. Next was the girl ghost, zheng-zi, which was said to be the scariest part of the house. And there was the bin which had a doll inside with water. The bin would suddenly open and some of the girls screamed loudly. After that, there would be a person lying down on a table, with a white cloth covering him/her. He/she will then sit up quickly and shout, and that was our last ghost.

I was in the place where the hands will come out of the garbage bags, along with four other friends. We were kicked by the students, hit by them too. Some of them was scared, so they accidentally hit us. While the others purposely hit us and some even said we molested them!

I think the haunted house was very successful. We collected a total amount of around $364.25. most of the customers were at least scared by one of the ghosts, and a lot of them came for the second time.

From this activity, I learnt that we must always stay united as a class, and help each other in need. For example, if we do not help one another, like when setting up our haunted house, there will be a lot of work for one person. When we help another person, that particular person will have lesser work, lesser stress, and a faster time to do finish the work.

I also learnt that I can do a lot of things with my small hands. I helped my classmates with a lot of things and gave some suggestions.

I hope there will be more of these activities next time. It was really fun!
