My group was assigned to help an old man paint his entire house and clean his toilet. When we first entered his house it was extremely clean and well kept. Then the second thing i noticed was
OMGWTF 60" FLATSCREEN PLASMA TV!!!!!
Yeah. So anyways we started moving all the stuff around and cleaning all the yellow off the walls (you'd be surprised how much whiter the wall looks). Then we started painting one half of the house and getting paint all over our hair. Half the group then abandoned us for lunch and came back 1 hour later when we were almost finished with our haf of the house.
About 2 hours later we were done and packed up all the brooms and mops and buckets. Then we were about to leave when....
"Eh what about my kitchen? You never paint my kitchen!!"
Crap. Move everything back again.
--------------------------------------
Eventually my group managed to finish our assignment adn we went over to help the other 4H group.
Big mistake. The house was a massive bedbug infestation and i started feeling itchy after stepping into the house for 10 minutes. So being the extremely dumb person i am, i koped the can of insecticide, opened the bottom of my shirt and sprayed about 1/4 of the can inside.
Instant relief.
Then 10 mins later my chest erupted into a fit of pins and needles and remained that way for the next 5 hours.
Ryoji broke a kerosene bottle in the guy's house too. Had to evacuate the premises temporarily.

Block Party!
At first we weren;t supposed to eat any of the food provided there cos apparently its for the residents only. So i could only stand there and watch while they all enjoyed an 8 course dinner.
Then a few resident ponned the dinner, so there were many empty places. Which most of the refurb people promptly filled up.
Martin sexy dance! (he's the one in pink).
And halfway during mr law's dance he broke his dancing stick in half accidently lol.
Went home at 9 with an extra goodie bag and a fragment of the aforementioned stick, feeling itchy all over due to leftover bedbugs.
Felt extremely satisfied and useful that day, even though i came home sweaty and tired. Maybe i should do more things like this in the future.
