We walked around like lost souls, not knowing where to go. I didn't have any idea whether the whole ceremony had started or not. Suddenly, guess who I saw? Matthias and Ting En, not forgetting her little sister! 8D I was like so LOL-ed out (unexplainable feeling lah) when I saw them; I didn't expect to see them. We chatted briefly and once again, Caryn and I roamed around aimlessly. We finally went into the hall where all the graduates and their parents sat. We were ushered to the second row from the front and boy, the view was fantastic!
If you don't understand Mandarin, that means VIP. Yes, we were THAT important.The VIPs were presenting their speeches and as much as I hate to admit this, I was really bored to death like I was three years ago on my own graduation day. Old habits die hard.
My ex-headmaster, Mr. Leow. His twins had also just graduated from my secondary school last Thursday, BTW.When the VIPs were blabbing their hearts out, I scanned the hall with my laser eyes.
AND I SAW THIS!
THERE WERE AIR-CONS IN MY SCHOOL HALL!I know, I know. You might think it's no big deal but when I was still studying there, there weren't any in the hall so it was a big discovery for me. That explains why the hall was so cooling and not stuffy and hot like when I graduated. LOL.
Oh, yea. There's this snobbish lady who sat beside me the whole time. She's like so lala although she looked almost forty already. When I took out my digital cammie to snap a few photos, she glanced at me and smirked. Then, she zipped open her bag slowly and took out a DSLR. She held it close to me, expecting me to go gaga over it. Pfft! So what if I don't have a DSLR? At least I'm not a showoff! And the whole time, she didn't even take a single picture. Dweeb. While I was wriggling around in my seat (I was restless), the lady beside me glared at me but I ignored her. She reminds me of those airheads I see in movies. == I think after some time she felt hot and she took out a scrunchie to tie her hair. After she was done, she kept smoothing out her side sweep bangs. She didn't want to stuff them behind her ear and yet she wanted to rid them from her eyes. Ironic, no? You might think I'm nosy, poking my nose into her business but EXCUSE MOI! Her elbow was obstructing my view the whole time when she was trying to stuff-and-not-stuff her bangs behind her ears at the same time.
FINALLY, at some point, she left. God answered my prayers. No, scratch that. I haven't even started praying and God had answered them. Amen! =D
After a long string of speeches, students of Hin Hua Kindergarten gave a stunning performance. They're all so talented and adorable! x3
Next, it was time to give out the certificates and prize money to the top ten best candidates in each standard.
Cute girl. x)Then, the performances started. Woohoo, long awaited!
Chinese Yoyo!
These girls are really graceful - MARVIE! 8D
Her voice is as sweet as a nightingale and when she was almost done singing, she cried ('cause I think she's sad to leave her friends). That touched the hearts of many others.
Based on the 1Malaysia theme, the song was presented very nicely. It's a Mandarin song with a twist - chunks of Malay words like kopi-O and nasi lemak here and there. Made me feel mad hungry!
So, this guy reminds me of a pastor. LOL.Before the Standard 6 students graduate, the kindergarteners graduated first...? LOL. It was so hilarious I almost laughed my head off. And the kids were so cute!
Look! With their graduation hats and all!
AREN'T THEY CUTEEE??? 8DDDAnd then, there were more singing! Yay!
Adorable! xD But he looks like he's pregnant? O_O'''
Lil' kids with a huge voice.
Caryn thought she was a guy. -_-'''
The prefect looks so miserable. =( And weird, the girl with two blue flower hair clips on reminds me of Miss Lee Hui Miin. O_O
SEE? If you don't believe me, go check your yearbooks, Kwang Hua-rians!
Sing, sing, sing! =DIt was time for the Standard 6 student representative to give a speech. I got a shock of my life when a boy appeared. Normally, it was a girl who gave the graduation speech (like Shao Qi in my year and her sister in her year).
I like his voice. ;)And then, the VIPs and class teachers took photos with a phony cheque. The money was donated by the parents of the students to the school.
RM 2300 ONLY? *faints* Ooh, I see Qian Hui's mum! And my ex-class teacher! 8DNext, they announced the Best Male Role Model Award and the Best Female Role Model Award. My eyes almost popped out when I saw Matthias' brother ran up the stage to receive his award. MATTHIAS THIEN'S BROTHER IS THE BEST MALE ROLE MODEL??? 8O AWESOME, I DIDN'T EXPECT THAT! No wonder Matthias was running around with his cammie and his mum looked frazzled. xD Trying to capture the moment Timothy (Matthias' brother) took the trophy. And Timothy's trophy was even taller than him. O_O''' The Best Female Role Model Award went to a teacher's daughter. I didn't take any pictures - there wasn't much time and the role models didn't pose. LOL.
The student representative then went up the stage again to play the graduation songs. Many graduates cried and sang together. What a touching moment! =') I wonder why I didn't cry on my graduation day. == BTW, most of them who wept were BOYS. Emotional generation much? O_O
Like my time, graduates go up stage to shake hands/hug their teachers and headmaster. x'] It's our school tradition.I left early with Caryn following me home. After all, it's not my graduation day so why should I dwell in a mix of happiness and sadness? =P Before my mum came, I couldn't resist buying some snacks from the canteen. I wanted to taste the food and see whether it changed. Of course it did - even the boss had changed! I bought french fries and nuggets to munch on while I was supposed to be on diet! My ballet exam is this Saturday! D8 I admired Caryn as she could resist the temptation of eating junk food. =/
These were my yummy nuggets! They looked like fried durians. O_O I gobbled them up as soon as I was done with the french fries. xDWhen we arrived at my house, I taught Caryn (IDK whether she knew what I was doing) how to manage and edit her blogskin. I set a new one for her and if you're free, go check it out HERE; I didn't do much alterations, though. Caryn, I hope you like it. =D
And to this lovely lady who owns a wicked tartan bag and iPod :
BLESSED BIRTHDAY, HOTHEAD! 8DGod bless you and love you! x3 You know I do, too! xD See you again during GY Camp! *screams hysterically* And when can you come to my house?!! LOL. BTW, Diana, you know why I call you hothead? No, not because you're hot-tempered lah (you're not even hot-tempered -_-). I think you know. HAHAHAHA. ;)
