On 26th March 2009, today, the GOBO10 was officially installed. And launched into space!
The unveiling of GOBO10 was carried out in a somewhat insignificant unveiling ceremony in Guide Room, Second Level, Nanyang Girls' High. Three members were absent but the ceremony was still carried out. We have two words for the absentees. Too bad. (lol!)
The GOBO10 is the new name for the PGA-ers (at least until we get a cooler name). It stands for Government of Burnable Objects Number 10. Burnable Objects equates to firelighting while number 10 equates to the number of people in our Cabinet. It currently comprises of several departments.
1. MOP: Ministry of POWER. Current representatives are June and Huijun. MOP's main duty is to break large twigs into shorter pieces while showing the immense power and strength of the individual MOP official simultaneously.
2. MOST: Ministry of Small Twigs. MOST's main duty is to select small twigs from countless bags of randomly packed twigs and pack them into boxes neatly.
3. MOMT: Ministry of Medium Twigs. Similar to MOST, except that MOMT deals with medium twigs.
4. MOLT: Ministry of Large Twigs. Similar to MOST and MOMT, except that MOLT deals with large twigs.
5. MOPoks: Ministry of Pokers. Liaises with MOLT to get large twigs that are potential pokers. Currently a sub-department under MOLT.
6. MOPu: Ministry of Punk. Sorts punk into three categories, namely Palm Leaves, Casuarina Product That Has No Known Name Yet, and Leaves That Are Also Known As Potato Chips (refer to previous notice about punk advert).
7. MODO: Ministry of Discardable Objects. Main representatives are Sarah and Aging Broom. Removes Discardable Objects and Aborted Projects such as Mouldy Twigs That Look Nonburnable, Twigs With Dubious-Looking White Fluff, Mysteriously Wet Punk, etc etc.
8. MOSS: Ministry of SuperSpars: Main representatives are MOP officials, because "super"and "power" just goes together naturally. SuperSpars are abnormally thick large twigs that are similar to spars in terms of width. The upcoming project for MOSS will be sawing, where SuperSpars will be physically modified so as to suit various new projects such as Support Wood Project (SWoP).
MOST, MOMT, MOLT, MOPoks, and MOPu do not have any fixed representatives currently. We believe in mobility of personnel, just as we believe in the rights to shuffle. A special event has happened today, and successfully etched the unveiling ceremony as well as the rights to shuffle in the hearts of all present.
The event organiser (who also happened to be the main participant) was Ms Wanda Ong ** **. A conflict arose between Ms Hiu Yan and Ms Wanda Ong regarding the shuffling of feet. Ms Hiu firmly believes that one should not shuffle, but Ms Wanda insists that shuffling is perfectly acceptable when the shoes are too big for the feet. As Ms Wanda put it (simply), "I have the rights to shuffle!" Ms Wanda then proceeded to prove her point by forcefully throwing out her foot. The point was further emphasised on when her too-big shoe flew off her foot and landed in the doorway of the hall's backstage. The next few moments were spent in embarrassment (as Ms Wanda scrambled to retrieve her shoe) and excruciating torture for the other three eyewitnesses (June Xiaozhen, Hiu, and Suat) as they laughed, clutching their stomachs in pain and rolling about against the wall/water cooler.
The GOBO10 and Special Event ended fruitfully, with a neater guide store corridor, more beautiful memories, and a new institution. We thank all who participated.
Short Advert (applies to all plagued by Mosquitoes):
Mosquito lands on Person's arm. Mosquito smiles widely and sinks"drinking straw" into arm. Person yelps and glares at Mosquito. Mosquito looks up innocently, puppy eyes glistening with tears of innocence, all the while sucking away furiously.
Caption Insert> GLARING DOES NOT WORK.
Person lifts palm and brings it down on Mosquito. Mosquito is squashed. Itch Lump/Mozzy Bite appears.
Caption Insert> Too LATE!
OFF! repellent appears amidst fanfare.
Caption Insert> Use OFF!
Person walks into mozzy-infested forest with a cloud of OFF! repellent spray mist hanging around him. He walks past a row of mosquitoes eyeing him hungrily. The cloud of mist passes them at this very moment. They take in a deep breath. Their eyes open in shock. Their eyes shut into little crosses. They keel backwards. They faint and fall onto the forest ground.
Caption Insert> OFF! The only thing that works!
Advert created by
Messrs Mesdemoiselles Wanda Ong and Suat.
