Dunman High's 55th!!

So yeah, as the title implies today was DHS's 55th anniversary and official school opening!

Okay to be honest I think the school opening part is plain dumb... Our school opened in 2009 hello? And what do you mean that wasn't official?

The school's really beautifully decorated though, I must say :')

They set up a performance stage and tables/chairs in 正心园 as well as a huge white tent in our parade square for the dinner. Like this:

Not bad eh :)

And they hung these archery targets/strange eye-like flags around...

Anyway, I helped out as a student usher hahaha, and basically I just had to bring guests around the campus for a school tour. My very first experience was.. well let's just say it was awkward.

Me: Are you an alumni of Dunman High School?

Her: Oh I was the vice-principal last time.

After that I had to bring this family from China around, speaking Chinese which I fail at.

I should probably shut up about the stupid things I do - endless, by the way.

And finally the performance!! I was actually pretty much looking forward to it :)))))

There was SH guzheng, choir w our school song, eds/chi dance and also band/CO :D

And yes those are fire effects(!!), my school's cool yo.

Sueqin and I sneaked down to the memento shop when Mr Goh Chok Tong arrived lol. BAD timing. We froze during the school song hahaha

One thing I absolutely can't stand about these school events is the speeches. They're really long (and that's an understatement), boring and most of the time I can't even hear what they're talking about. Today we endured through 3 of them... (*pats self*)

That's basically it haha - (OH WE SAW NDP FIREWORKS ^^)

We were dismissed at around 830pm but our dinner was late :<

So the guides went to steal some food from the buffet - perfectly legal, don't worry - and we om nom nomxz until our horrible dinner arrived -_- I don't mind the school being cheapskate, having spent like 1mil on these celebrations (or so I heard..) but at least make sure it's tasty right!! Oh well #sadlife of volunteers :(

Here's a jie photo to end off this blogpost :)

We cleared the confetti on the stage and around the 正心园 along w a group of CO people, the cleaners and Shermaine + her friend haha. Love it when people just simply help out out of kindness :')

PS: Don't tell anybody, but I sat on the black stone kongzi is on!! ;)

I'm also currently very much addicted to the nyan cat song (embarrassing omg).
