On the day itself, the first thing that was done was the photo taking. First up were the teachers. It was so hard to tell the teachers apart that day because they were all wearing their pink batik uniform. So cute! When everything was almost ready, Pn Bong (the teacher in charge of the magazine club) sort of purposely stalled. She was waiting for the studio photographer to come to take the teachers photo. She said that the picture taken by him will be better, which I think is a big insult to Mr Yap who has been sacrificing his precious time to take pictures for the magazine. I really wanted to protest but it was too late. She’s so annoying sometimes. Luckily, Mr Bong didn’t want to wait any longer for the photographer, so we just used Mr Yap’s camera. Yay! Haha. After the non-teaching staff’s turn was the morning session prefects. I was quite satisfied that everyone took their places without haste so we didn’t have to waste anytime. The teachers and the committees sat in front, boys on the left and girls on the right. After everyone was set, I realized that I myself didn’t have a seat, and since there was space at the boys’ side, I went there and sat between Jia Seng and Dexter. I didn’t mind, since they are like my crazy insane brothers. Then suddenly Pastor asked me to move to the other side, apalah ni… Oh well…

After that we prefects all rushed to the hall, except Kelvin and his crew (they had to keep all the tables and chairs that were used for the photo taking). We all got ready in our positions, and when the curtains were drawn, it was mine and Yu Full’s cue. He was really great, except for the fact that he spoke a little too fast, but I’m really proud of him for doing such a good job! Wah, I’m complementing you here Yu Full… When Mr Bong went up there to give his speech, I think he was a little confused. The event that day was Teachers Day. He was supposed to give a speech about the teachers and how wonderful they are and stuff. But instead, he focused more on the fire that happened quite some time ago. Alamak! So sesat… Yu Full, Nancy and I were laughing about it. Apparently, he always seems to be “lost” when it comes to giving the right speeches at the right time. In the end, he said only a few sentenced about the teachers. Haiz swt…

I think the enlightening part was when the video clip from the teachers’ dinner was played. All the teachers were laughing at each other, especially the part when the Pn Poh, Mr Tan and the others were dancing, Then suddenly Pn Poh and Mr Tan stood up for a few seconds and started dancing again! Haha. But unfortunately my mum and Pn Poh were wet blankets and asked us to stop playing the video, so only one quarter of the video was shown, and no one got the chance to see the mummies in action!

What teachers do during the function. Talk, and SMS... swt

Then was the performance. I really pity the school band, because they sounded funny because the clarinet was off, the recorders hit some wrong notes. Overall, it was quite weird. But I felt sorry for them not for their off-performance, but because I was afraid that Jackeline might scream at them. After that was the poem recital by language clubs. Fortunately for the teachers, there were only four performance and presentations, so they didn’t have to sit through so many stuff and nonsense.
