Today, we had a pillow fight! We came in our pyjamas and brought pillows. In the Singapore campus we are divided into two sections, A1 and A2, and we were pitted against each other after our two morning classes. Whoever took over the rival amphitheater would win.
This morning, our amphitheaters looked like large bedrooms, with pillows on our desks and seats and some even on the floor. Some guys were wearing boxers and cotton t-shirts! A few girls wore nightgowns. One guy from the other section came in full striped pyjamas. One girl wore fluffy bedroom slippers. One guy wrapped himself in a blanket with his pillow tucked behind him, looking dreamily at our Econs professor who told him jokingly not to fall asleep!
Of course there were a few spoilsports who didn’t come in their pyjamas and tried explaining to the rest of us that they really did sleep in jeans and polo t-shirts … yeah right! However, many who wore pyjamas changed into normal clothes after that. I thought the fun part was staying in your pyjamas! How often do you get to wear PJs to a top b-school and get away with it?
Anyway… how it works is that our professors take turns to teach us. My section had Econs first, followed by Accounting. The other section had Accounting followed by Econs. Unfortunately I think they ended their class slightly earlier and stormed into our amphi. We fought bravely but alas, after a few minutes of mayhem, A2 declared themselves the winners.
As they cheered, we booed good-naturedly, and one classmate muttered, “Stop disturbing us! We’re studying!” and we laughed.
I took a few blurry photos of the pillow fight but my iPhone was whacked out of my hands!! Fortunately nobody stepped on it. My groupmate, however, had his camera lens knocked sideways and so it couldn’t retract back into the camera… I empathise with him because a similar thing happened to my camera last year.
I’m sure there will other interesting social events coming up … kudos to our social reps for coming up with such wacky entertainment!
