Badge Presentation and Parliament Meeting

Hello, so long haven`t update the blog already. A little update now since the exams has just finished. This morning, during assembly, the ONE Advocates were presented with their badges (shown below).

Later on, after school, we went for the Parliament House meeting to sit in and listen. We first went into the building for a lot of security checks and entered one of the empty assembly rooms for a briefing on how things were going to work out. Because we weren`t the only ones there, with students from other schools attending as well, we were all separated into groups, so we visited during galleries at different times to hear in on the meeting.

My group first went to the education gallery, where our guide told us some facts about Parliament and how it is set up. The education gallery is the only place where we could actually talk without disturbing the meeting. Later, we went to the public gallery, where we were observing the meeting from above. We weren`t allowed to say a single word. Most of what we listened to was a bill on Competition, something that most of us didn`t understand. Though, halfway through the meeting, we saw PM Lee Hsien Loong walk in!
