graduation ceremony today... had been looking forward to it for days, but well it didnt turn out to be very good....
everything started the moment school ended.... all of us got together for lunch in the school canteen.. "all of us" really refers to that big group of us... there we were, scooping & locking each other on our way down, & getting glances from the other AMKsians... but we didnt care... i think it was due to the fact that this will be our last time staying back together & having lunch in the canteen ever since we stepped down from red x....
after lunch, the phototaking session began again... everyone seemed to have brought their cameras or video cameras... it was the last chance for us to take down memories of our classmates and friends in AMKsians...
we were escorted to the hall by the student councillors class by class... upon reaching the hall, the sight that beheld me shocked me... the red carpet was out and all the teachers of AMKSS were beside it, clapping as we stepped onto the red carpet.... it was definitely a grand event, i must say...
the ceremony began with the singing of our school song... it wasnt supposed to be a sad thing, but some1 actually mentioned that it'll be our last time singing it... when i heard those words, there was this sense of emptiness in me... i couldnt really explain why i had felt so....
next up were the speeches... as usual, they were boring.... then came the best part of the ceremony, the powerpoint slide show, A Walk Down Memory Lane... it was really good, with nostalgic music in the background... photos of us in the past few years were flashed, & they brought back really great memories... all the form teachers had a message for us, but Mr Guang's message flashed past in like 3 secs? other classes got to have like 10 secs? that's so unfair...
the teachers got onto stage to perform a couple of songs for us, but it really seemed like the student reps from each class were the ones performing... songs were supposed to make us feel sad, but sad to say, we didnt.... all of us were still in high spirits... i guess the teachers must have felt so too, because they extended the ceremony by making us get into a big circle and continue singing... that failed too.... i guess this batch of us are just too lively...
when the entire thing ended, we had to walked down the red carpet once again, out of the hall.... the teachers were at both sides of it, wishing us luck as we walked past... when i saw Mdm Ong, my tears streaked down... i think it was because she reminds me of all the happy things that had happened in the past few years, and the memories i'll be leaving behind.. it didnt help when Mrs Leong was just beside her....
every1 else got to the buffet table and started eating... the food wasnt that great.. it tasted similar to the one we had on our Red X POP, which was bad...
after the food, every1 just stood around and took photos... & that sums up the ceremony that i had been so looking forward to....
every1 had this memento from the school, a big photo of ourself and our class photo.... i looked terrible in mine... the eyebags looked so obvious!!!! shall keep it b4 it scares of anybody....
gave out the cards which i had made over the past few days to my classmates & schoolmates.... wonder if they liked it...
1 more week till we officially graduate from AMKSS.... maybe that's when we'll all really feel sad...
