*Ahem* Yeah, so I like quoting phrases from the games I've played. Inspired by the recent 'Majlis Persaraan Datin Hasiah' (retirement ceremony? heck, it's something along those lines in English).
So while I highly doubt I'd ever miss having her around in Seafied, it's still-in a way-sad to see a teacher like her leave. Same goes for Pn. Zaleha from last year (although she hasn't been around nearly as long).
27th February 2007, 8.00am, SMK Seafield. I'm almost positive most other students were either bored or being roasted to death for the entirety of the Majlis. Me? Surprise, I actually enjoyed it. I had a good seat
(shaded from the violent rays eminating from the giant flame-orange orb in the sky-if you don't know what I'm refering to then you're a 'doink') and had a good view of the performances too
(yay me ^^).Okay, so things started off the usual way any other perhimpunan rasmi
(official essembly) would-morning prayers, ikrar, National anthem
(people still not standing still -_-"), etc. When it came to the speeches, haha, gotta say Pn. Wang's was certainly 'memorial'; lolz XD
(is her English 'that' bad?). Of course, the performances were pretty good this time round.
First off, props goes to my fellow friends of SMK Seafield's very own cheerleading squad, Vulcanz (VLC for short).Have you guys improved or what? Hah, no falls! You bet, I'm proud~
(taking into consideration how tough a crowd our schoolmates can be). Still, you guys can do better, stunts and motions kinda sloppy eh? Sharpen'em more and please don't show that 'I'm scared' face-you know who you are.
Up next, Tarian Harmoni (harmony dance?).Basically a dance combining the three main races. The Malay and Chinese parts were so-so but the Indian one was a little too short this time round. Oh well, there's always Merdeka to look forward to.
Followed by our school's Choir.Hearing them sing the day before, I was really wishing I'd brought along earplugs that day; in the end, I guess I didn't really need it. They sang two songs, 'Thank You For The Music' and 'Gemilang'
(why did they have to sing Gemilang? It's obvious their vocals are no where near as superb as Malaysian Idol's Jaclyn Victor). They are better than last time though, that's good news.
Last but not least, the school brass band.You know, it's funny to think just two years ago these guys could have made a living playing for funerals. They are SO much better now
(thank heavens! earplugs not needed!). Also, props to the band members for upgrading the otherwise outdated version of 'Auld Lang Syne'
(is that how you spell it? =P) with some added percussion.
Well, and that about sums up this event. It's been two days since that final 'goodbye wave' Datin made to us as she left on that...truck? Right, nevermind. To think, in less than ten months from now I'll be leaving Seafield too. Heh, before that time comes, I wanna have some 'fun'
(darn you SPM!).
Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind
Should auld acquaintance be forgot and days of auld lang syne
For auld lang syne my dear, for auld lang syne
We´ll take a cup o´ kindness yet, for auld lang syne
