Since it's the last day of year 2011, I suppose I should wrap up events that occurred in 2011 and welcome 2012~!
After spending almost two decades of my life in Ampang, my family and I moved to a new neighbourhood, which is.. also in Ampang. Hahah~ Probably we're used to stay around this area already. I really miss the dear little apartment though.. Thank you for keeping my family safe and warm for the past 20 years ❤
Offerings for the moving-in ritual
My niece and nephews were amused when they saw my neighbour's cats~
Sports Day at St. John's
This was really the last Sports Day that I'll have in the secondary level.
The Sports Day in SJI is a little different from SBU though. The most significant one is probably the performance. Previously when I was in SBU, the main performance is cheer leading, while SJI's one is the brass band performance. I'm happy to be able to experience both :D
It's also the most fruitful Sports Day in my secondary life. I actually won medals. Ahaha. Even my family and friends were surprised about the fact. Of course I was elated, but I can't help feeling surprised too. Probably it's because all this while sports isn't really my thing. Teehee.
And I'm proud that my house, D' Joseph actually won first place in the Lintas Hormat catergory. We actually only started learning the choreography a day before the actual event. This is all thanks to Prabu, our junior cum choreographer. The dance routine was a combination of Malay, Chinese and Indian traditional dances. Indian dance is not easy to learn at all. xD
Team D' Joseph!
Great job, everyone! :D
Women's 4x100m Relay - Bronze medal
Women's 100m - Silver medal
Lintas Hormat - Gold trophy
Bronze, silver and gold. :)
SJI's Sixth Form Council Bowling Tournament at Wangsa Walk, Wangsa Maju, KL
It was a nice bowling trip! Although my bowling skills is the worst among all, the atmosphere was good when everyone cheered for their respective classes; since this is more like an inter-class friendly match.
The resource students came for it too!
Representatives from Sc1 and Sc4
After that we went for a karaoke session. There's only one word to describe the scene: Crazy.
It's another craziee-oke! after all LOL.
JULY 2011
1Student 1Sport 1Malaysia Run
Basically this is based on the 1Student 1Sport policy, whereby students, teachers, principals and parents all run simultaneously at various locations in the country. This big run created "The Largest Participation Of School Students In A Run" record in the Malaysia Book of Records, with a total of 4.1 million students from 9980 schools nationwide.
Our principal, Mr. Lim Hean Hwa join in the lay as well!
Keiyan's 19th
Celebrated Keiyan's birthday at TGI Friday's Midvalley Megamall. It's a great chance for all of us to catch up on each other, since I haven't met some of them for more than a year already!
The climax of the day was during the Birthday Song part. The birthday girl was requested to stand on the chair by the TGI staff as usual, and after we sang the song, one of the staffs smeared cream on Keiyan's face! All of us can't help but laugh :D
Gaaya's Farewell
Gaaya's left for Indonesia to further her studies. Come back soon Gaay!
Rat Dissection
Sorry rats. But this is included in our syllabus. May all of you rest in peace. At least the rats were not killed by us. We only dissected them, that's all. :)
Oh and by the way, rats smells like chicken.
Kawat Seni Competition
Yenyi and I were the MCs! Had a great experience from it. And though we aimed for the gold medals, we're still happy that we came in as the second runner up. Wonderful job done there, Fencing club!! :D
Fencing may look boring to some, but the formations can be interesting to watch!~
The last minute training session
During the routine
AUGUST 2011
National Day Celebration
Every year in SJI, the prefects, monitors and chairmen are required to carry national and state flags to kick start the Merdeka month.
Bubur Lambuk!
There's one thing about SJI - This school celebrates almost every festival. Which is a good thing, because I actually got the chance to taste bubur lambuk for the first time. This time the teachers took turns in preparing the bubur lambuk from scratch in conjunction with the fasting month. There was a temporary canopy built to serve as the "kitchen", and it's right in front of the Form 6 block. The smell of it was most tempting! As expected, the bubur lambuk tastes good!
Orientation Ball Night a.k.a. A Midsummer Night's Dream 2011
Shh. This is known as the not-so-obvious-but-obviously-it's-obvious night that the upper 6 and lower 6 students "gathering". A Midsummer Night's Dream, that is. Due to some complications that had occurred, we had to make this as low profile as possible.
A wonderful night we had in Prince Hotel, KL, and the food and venue wins it all. (though many of us agreed that 2010 was better x). Nevertheless, you've tried your best, juniors! :)
SEPTEMBER 2011
Mid-Autumn Festival
We suddenly had an urge to celebrate the festival this year. Maybe it's because we just moved in LOL. So, mummy brought out the paper lanterns we had, lit it, and hung it around the car porch~
Wet Lab Training Program
Organised by the Malaysian Genomic Resource Centre, this program allows students to get a hands-on experience to conduct DNA-related experiments. It was a great experience, since we get to understand more about the procedures of the DNA fingerprinting.
OCTOBER 2011
Jooee's surprise birthday celebration
Seeing that everyone's gonna be busy soon, we plan to celebrate Jooee's birthday a month ahead. Ahehe.
And it turns out that Keiyan actually surprised both Joo and I by celebrating both of our birthdays. Hahaha thanks a lot~!
Class magazine layout
It's my first time making an actual layout. I was really not good when it comes to the settings and all. After the trials and errors, finally I had it done :)
NOVEMBER 2011
November. We managed to snap photos before the 'war' arrives.
DECEMBER 2011
It's December at last! Phew. After the exams, I've been going out and cooking a lot lately. Things will tone down next year, I suppose.
Have a fun countdown tonight everyone! And happy 2012~!
Gawd, 2011 had been a really really busy year.
