Currently, the PR group is spending a hard wrecking time in discovering a more efficient, cheap and fashionable-looking rubbish bin. Yes...yes....Laugh it all off in your seats as you read this when you think "How hard can that be? Just pop on to IKEA, you idiots!" Well my dear reader, guess what? That is exactly what we have been doing for a long time but many 'conflicts' have been occurring during our locating session. This is exactly what happened:
As a dedicated group of environmentalists, the three members of PR have ventured onto a mission to infiltrate IKEA headquarters and retrieve the catalog and an image of the 'perfect' paper bin for school. Infiltration was easy for the skills that we possessed, it was only a matter of walking up the escalators. But finding this 'perfect' bin and taking a photo of it was much of a pain. Walking along the narrow aisles of the plastic bin section, we came across many interesting looking designs yet none so efficient as needed and therefore a long 30 minutes was used to uncover the bin we needed. Then finally, a sigh of relief, after long debate and violent arguments, we found the perfect bin. A long tall shaped bin, big enough to fit any A4 paper or bigger and matched with an unbeatable price of $75, a moment of awe, there it was. Our eyes glimmered in admiration for its state of perfection and just as we were about to raise our camera to take a snapshot of this beautiful looking bin (for referencing purposes), and JUST about to click the 'capture' button, a obese looking security guard held the wrist of my very hand.
"Wai! Sai lo! Mm jun ying sheung gah! Chuut hui!"
Translated to readable English for those non-Chinese readers:
"OI! KID! YOU CANT TAKE PHOTOS! GET OUT!"
Being labeled as a 'small child' was humiliating enough, then to be awkwardly asked out of this department store, confidence was burned away. So that sums it, an obese guard just had to ruin the moment that could make this school so much cleaner and better. Disappointing i know, all environmentally concerned students, i feel the support and pat on the back, thanks. And so, we will make our moves noticeable very soon, action shall take place!
THE BINS SHALL BE OURS TO HAVE, JUST YOU WAIT!
For now, I'd say thanks for reading and wait for our next move. Please keep using the paper bins that are temporarily in use on all floors and most rooms of the school (the half white and transparent box shaped bin with 'paper recycling' on it) even if they are not as 'beautiful' as the ones we are about to bring in. Keep on recycling fellow SC-ers!
From,
PR Group
