Friday, 23rd of January was a bittersweet day. It was the day my school celebrated Chinese New Year. It was a eventful and wonderful day. The assembly was started with people with smiley faces after they were presented with a EduSave award for making the best improvement and the top 10% in the cohort.

After that , it was time for the presentation of the best decorated classroom award . This year , we were tasked two weeks in advance to decorate our classroom with the theme of Chinese New Year.( why am I not surprised.) As our class has been together for one whole year and counting , doing such a small event was no great feat. We took turns to stay back and decorate different parts of the classroom. As days passed, we could see the results of our hardwork with the whole class being decorated with lanterns and ang baos.

And on that day, our hardwork paid off as we were the champions of the classroom design competition which was definitely what we deserved . Throughout the whole day , our mouths were bananas stretching from cheek to cheek. That was a fantastic start for a day.

Next was the performances by the Chinese Literature Drama and Debate Society which was lively and humourous. They definitely deserved the thunderous appaluse they got . Then , the invited guests from a old folks home which were watching the whole celebration with us were invited on stage to sing Chinese New Year songs although some parts of it was inaudible as the AV club had some technical difficulties which was very severe , as throughout the whole show the mike would be screeching at a extremely high volume that could almost make your ear drums roll. The invited guests sang very well and we promptly joined in as the guests on stage invited us to sing along with them. From this show , i learnt a lot of things and i hope that next chinese new year, the AV Club would repair the technical glitches so as to put on a better show for our guests.
