THOSE LOVELY MEMORIES (:

alright. gala dinner was totally screwed up,and it was all because of the rain.
we(prefects) reported at 3pm in our blazer suit on friday. mr reduan gave us a briefing followed by mr mok..after that,those prefects not sitting at vip table had their dinner,while those sitting at the vip table went to help mr ng bring down the candles and put them on the different tables. after that,at ard 6pm,the guests and students started coming in and we went to do ushering..the whole event started at abt 7pm,and the guest of honour was the minister of defence mr teo chee hean..he is super tall,haha (: first there was a speech by mr lim,followed by kernel chan and den by the minister..after all the speeches,the sch presented souvenirs to the minister and the dinner started..we were sitting at the vip table right in front,so we had to eat with our blazers on,and it was really troublesome..the first dish was served followed by the second..den,it started to rain very heavily..me and pei yi ran to the foyer to get the umbrella to shelter the minister but by the time we reached the parade sq,the minister was in the shelter alrdy. both of us felt guilty,cause mrs yim told us that if it rains,we're suppose to make sure that the minister is sheltered but we were too slow..haha..so everybody moved up to the hall and lecture room..there were alrdy tables there,it took quite some time for everyone to settle down..the rain "destroyed" everything..all the utensils were soaked in the rain,including the drinks and all that..so there was a delay in the whole event..the waiters and waitress had to collect the cups and wash them again so it could be used..as for the utensils,some tables had to use disposable ones as there weren't enough of it..and den,all the prefects started becoming waiters and waitresses,including those prefects sitting at the vip table..mr mok asked us to help serve food and drinks. actually it was quite fun to serve the food also,a very good experience i would say,haha..but there were some confusion,cause some of us served the wrong food to the wrong tables,we served chinese food to muslim tables =X yupps,and the whole event ended at ard 10.30pm..there was a short debrief for the prefects and we were dismissed. after which,pei yi,pris and me went to rp mac to hv a drink before going home..reached home at 12am,totally exhausted. i really wanna thank those sec 1 and 2 prefects who helped out at gala dinner. you guys did a great job. thank you very much! :D

many things happened recently. many misunderstandings,many disappointments. i tried hard to make things alright,but i failed. i cried,again.
