The 'trusty sidekicks' The only decent pic I have with them. Disclaimer: Most of the pictures here are taken from Facebook, from Aziza and Vidhyah's albums mainly. Taken without permission of course, but really, who reads my blog?
Step-down ceremony was exhausting. But before we go there, a bit of background might help.
I foolishly began the week thinking that everything would be easy-going. In a sense, it was the last week of school and there wasn't much left to do. From what we knew, the ceremony would be next week and we had pretty much had everything planned.
Then we went to school on Monday and teacher told us to do it this week Friday.
Well, no problems. We had it all covered. But then....
Come Tuesday, teacher decided to bring it forward to Thursday. Oh well.
Monday was hectic. If I remember correctly, we had to help out Grace with the state camp stuff, giving/collecting forms. It was tiring and tedious. Thank goodness for Chip and Elson, who helped out a lot. By Wednesday, we had finished preparing for our ceremony, more or less.
Thursday was the best. And the most tiring too.
I woke up in the morning and scribbled a few words on paper for my 'speech'. Probably a smart move, everything was in point form. Went to school as usual, stressed unnecesarily over the ceremony and lugged around an annoying file.
Pictured: Annoying file
Well, the actual file was a ring file with the guide to being the 'best KP ever' written for Joy. The one above is the thick annoying St. John file which was stuffed with camp registration forms, knowledge of the order papers and other St John-like stuff.
I digress. Anyway, it so happens that our ceremony was one the same day that En. Sivam decided to have the multimedia presentation. I was talking to my prefects and organizing for the ceremony during assembly, outside the hall, when....
Me: *Lecture blah blah blah Lecture* Don't do stupid things blah blah go up stage like this blah blah blah.....
Voice in Background: Sekarang, dipersilakan saudara Aaron Luke untuk memberi persembahannya.
Which caught me off guard. I didn't even bother to prepare for any multimedia presentations. And I didn't even remember what I was supposed to talk about till I walked upstage and caught a glimpse of the project I did a few months back, which was about Google. And that was the most impromptu speech/presentation the entire year.
After finishing, Adris and Syahana kept on pestering me over and over again, the form 4 prefects paid us a visit and I worked on squeezing a few more words out of the point-form speech I had written.
At the end of the day, it went quite smoothly. The speech was survivable. After speeches, Pn. Chia gave the prefects their certificates. The fun began when she began hugging everyone.
I think Xi Shern's enjoying it .
The picture is like this, I'm too lazy to fix it. Just bend your neck sideways.
Then the new board was revealed, we lazed around in the hall till 3.oo p.m. plus while Pn. Chia talked to us. Then we had our prefect mini-party where basically, we ate. In the end, there was quite a lot of food left, even with the teachers coming to eat too, so we ended up inviting all the students we could find to come help finish.
Hang in there A pretty decent day.
I would rate this year a good year. We had a decent bunch of prefects, we didn't fight, and we survived.
All in all, I'm proud of my prefect board.
I think I named this picture when saving it: the heads + crazy man.
Or maybe it was in Malay.
Like, 'pokok besar tambah orang gila'.
