Well folks, I just came back from my International Tuition School (ITS) Graduation day. The highest standard is secondary 4, and this year, majority of my friends managed to graduate. Congratulations to them and of cos', to me. Haha! Today, I woke up at 12.15pm, probably too tired after playing too much dota last night. I took a quick bite and get myself dressed for the graduation day. The details of the ceremony are as below:
Time: 2pm till 5pm.
Venue: Kuching Park Hotel
Dresscode: Semi-formal (but I still see people coming in with coats and jeans @.@)
At 1.25pm, I was already on my way there. Lucky for me, there was no traffic congestion, if not, heh, I won't make it in time. When I reached at the venue, I was shocked to see my uncle there, waiting for passengers. He's a taxi driver, so it's normal to see him around hotels picking up guest, no? After having a few words with him, I proceeded to the 1st floor. The place where the ceremony was held is called the Lotus ballroom (if I’m not mistaken), it's miserably small and it could only fit maximum 20 tables. Oh well, I guess ITS is cutting cost eh? XD
The ceremony started according the schedule, 2pm sharp. The 1st agenda is a speech presented by Sandra Ling, the founder/director and head principal of ITS(I never know one could hold that many positions in an organization?) Her speech lasted for at least 15 minutes, a boring one I could say. And even worse, the PA sucks! The sound is not loud enough, voice projection not clear too, how'd you expect me to keep still and listen? So, I ended up talking and mingling around with friends instead. At around half past two, it's time for the ceremony. Our names are called 1 by 1 to go up on stage and receive the certificates. ( It's just a normal piece of papers with letters and names printed on it, being sarcastic here XD) Now here's something interesting. When it was my teacher's turn (Mrs. Jennifer Petruce a.k.a The Drama Queen, probably the best english teacher even taught me) to go up and distribute the certificates, our class members, err, lemme rephrase that, ALL who are present gave their loudest clap ever, unlike the other teachers or even the principal didn't receive such applause before *grins* Shhh, don't mention this out, or else i'll be slaughtered! Haha! The presentation of The Best Student Award followed by. (And the award goes toooo~ yada yada yada, I don't know her name, my bad XD) And guess what, the time coordinated for the presentation of award is 2.50pm, AND the real thing started at 2.50pm, sharp, not even a second less or more(in a metaphoric way).
Sooner after that, the emcees invited the coordinator to give a speech, but thank god it's a short one. The whole ceremony ended with the photo talking of each class along with teachers and the higher-ups.
After the formal functions are over, we all head down to the coffee house and have our high tea. Well, all I could say that our class has the most boys, and ya'll know, boys can really eat right? Tommy, one of our top eaters during the High Tea, started his move, we followed behind. We took plates and plates of sandwiches, fried beehon and curry chicken. Even before we started eating, our table is already full of foods. Just within 10 minutes, all the sumptuous foods disappeared. (Guys, you could imagine how hungry we are XD) Whenever there's a refill, we are always the first one to be at the spot to grab some more of em'. After having our meal, we took pictures with friends and our very beloved teacher.
*My hungry friends*
See all the plates on the table? Well, it's our piece of art XD The guy in white and orange are 'The Best Eater of the day' Haha! They really eat as though they had never see food before, uncivilized in another word. But what to do, the food is there and it's free, no one could resist that temptation. I remembered a phrase that they said "I've been studying for ITS for the past 7 years, ITS earned a lot of money, now it's time for revenge!" I laughed my head off when I heard them said that. But basically what they said is true, that I agree. To me, that very moment seem to be our very last time we eat, play and interact with each other, although we live in Kuching or even in the same school. When the food stopped refilling, we started monopolizing the drinks! I bet the waiter was cursing us for drinking that much. Haha! We then took pictures with friends and our teacher.

That was about 3.45pm and the crowd began to disperse. We took our initiatives by taking down each others' phone number for contact purposes and bid
farewell. It's sad to see my friends, one by one stepping out of the hotel's entrance heading towardstheir transport. Oh well, happy moments has it's ending too huh? *sigh*
That's all folks, I'll write up till here. More to come soon!
-Over and Out-
CheerZ!
