100 Years Of Excellence

that's the theme this year as we celebrated convent's 100th years anniversary..everyone's been so busy since holidays till the 1st week of school for the centenary celebration preparation..as for us, we did everything last minute so we rushed like mad and it's really tiring..but it's definitely worth our "last minute hard work"..

last night was the centenary dinner in Syuen Hotel where lots of convent old girls and VIPs came..iw ent there on duty to snap photos..and i managed to snap a picture with Amy Mastura..she used to be studying in our school and she came back to acknowledge all her teachers..she's really a friendly and nice person..the dinner was very grand but too bad i couldn't enjoy the food as i did not buy the rm60 ticket.

the opening ceremony today was the release of balloons and the revealing of the centenary plague..i actually missed it and i didn't even notice it outside..aih..too bad..
the performances were the choir, the story of the "Grand Old Lady" (main convent), folk dance, tradimode etc..(i missed all of them except folk dance)..i took part in the folk dance..it was fun when we invited the public to join us dancing..i can't dance but the folk dance is easy..so even if you can't dance..u can still dance folk dance..never thought of joining at first but my persuasive friends kept persuading me to join since it's easy so why not give it a shot? i dance as the guy and my partner was joyce..i felt so guy-ish..lol..

there were exhibitions by 4th Unit rangers, Interact, PBSM, Joyful Vanguard, 7th and 8th Coy, Prefectorial Board, Librarians, COGA(Convent Old Girls Association) and science exhibition..there were souvenirs for sale as well as rose request(by interact) and song request(by prefects)..

i feel so lucky and blessed as this is my last year in convent and we had such a grand event going on but the old girls are even luckier as they get to come back to school and see all the changes after so many years..i don't think so i can live till 117 years for the next centenary celebration..

so just wanna wish convent Happy 100th Birthday!!
and happy 1 day holiday to all convent girls..lol
i captured quite a number of pictures and i'll upload here later..so be sure to come back another time ..till then
