SCHOOL'S OUT!!!

YAHOO~!!!!! I couldn't wait for the end of the school year and now its finally here! Here I am, sitting in front of the computer and thinking to myself, "okay.. now what?". Good Gosh! I haven't fully planned my holidays yet! Sure, there's Penang next week and Koh Samui after that, but what about now? Yeesh! Good news is, I have a karaoke session with dad tomorrow! I kinda wonder though, is it really possible for 2 people to sing 6 hours straight? Hmm... looks like there's only one way to find out =S

Moving on... Last weekend I was working at a booth in this World of Chinese Book fair held at The Mines Exhibition Centre. It was really really cool! There were booths all over the place, selling books, comics, books, stationery, books, IQ games, books, books and more books! BOOKWORM HEAVEN!!! But the saddest thing for me is that ALL THE BOOKS ARE IN CHINESE!!!

Okay, okay, i know, Chinese Book Fair, du-uh! sighs... Well at least there was this little area set up by MPH which sells some books that are in english. Oh yeah, you must be wondering, what is a non-chinese speaking person like myself doing at a booth in a chinese book fair? Weeeellll, I was doing my best to explain science experiments in mandarin to the chinese speaking folks and failing miserably. *winces* Well, at least i do TRY!!! and end up fumbling up some words here and there. *winces again* sigh..

ANYWAYS!!!! Thats all for now.. haha! byes!

Post-Annual Dinner

My school's annual dinner was held at the school hall last friday night. It was a rainy night and i was feeling apprehensive about it. Nevertheless, I went there and was amazed at the effort the management staff put in to the decorations and they were able to create a very 'aloha' atmosphere. There were coconut tree leaves, flower hair clips for ladies, those flowery things you put around your necks, candles, flower petals, coconut shells.. It was truly beautiful.

The food was.. CATERED! YAY! Although there wasn't much variety but the food quality was pretty good. There was satay, spaghetti, prawn kebab, roasted lamb, baked potatos, mushroom soup, salad, fruits and even ice kacang!

The night started off with a welcoming dance by most of the management staff. It was really amusing to see the principal, vice-principal, head of departments and other people dancing in grass skirts and Hawaiian shirts. Then the inevitable happened.... BLACKOUT! Apparent the whole of the area around the school experienced a blackout too! So there we were, sitting in the hall, dressed nicely, and eating food with nothing but candlelight. Although I have to admit I didn't really mind it so much.. until the mozzies started biting.. BAH! MOZZIES!!

After about almost an hour, HURRAY!!! The power came back! YIPPIE~ Then we had lucky draw, some games, and karaoke. I was extremely lucky that night. I won one of the Grand Prizes (there were only two).. I WON AN LG MICROWAVE!!!! Yahoo!!!!! I went home that day feeling really happy and lucky! hehehe~
