Teacher's Day


It's that time of the year again where I come back from the dead and bring you an interesting story to read! Isn't that just lovely? As you can tell by the title of this post, it was Teacher's Day two weeks ago. A day where everyone comes together to appreciate the hard work and dedication our teachers have invested in us so we would have a brighter future. Unfortunately, this date falls in the midst of the examination period so many people took the opportunity to skip school to study. The rest of us on the other hand just wanted to enjoy a little break from the examination stress. Many people got their favourite teachers gifts. I personally didn't get them anything, reason being I didn't have the time to go out and get something and also I strongly believe that the best present you can give your teachers is to share your success. No matter how small or how grand your gift is, it's the thought that counts. My friend decided to give them limited edition Disney collectibles and they are adorable.



 The event started with the usual speech from our Principal, Pn. Azizah. She mentioned how proud she was when our school was featured on national television. Even I'm impressed. As the opening of the event, Pn. Azizah opened the ceremony by cutting a cake and feed bite-sized pieces of cake to the teachers. She was even fed in return by our Senior Assistant for Curriculum, Pn. Nasiroh. As a token of appreciation, all the teachers are given little envelopes which I presume contains either shopping vouchers, or cash. Some teachers even enjoyed a little chat with each other.
 






The cake has been sliced and envelopes have been distributed. Now it's time for the games to begin! No, literally, there was games. The games were organised by our fellow Form 4 Teratai students. The first game was pass the egg. A team of pairs have to bring the 'egg' to the end of the court without touching it or dropping it. There was 6 teams competing, and only one won. Spoilers? Its Miss Pearl with our library's very own Assistant Head Librarian, Hui Shyen! There was some really intense competition there. May I add that Miss Najwa looks extremely bad**s, as usual. 




What fun would it be if there was only one game? Of course there has to be more! The next game was the newspaper game. A team of 7 people are required to stand on 10 pieces of newspapers. The newspapers will then be removed piece by piece. The team that can stand the longest on one sheet of newspaper without any part of their body touching the ground wins! The boys decided that carrying each other was the best decision while the ladies thought of just standing on one foot. Now isn't that lady-like? See what I did there? No? Okay then.




You know how teachers always nag how we can forget things easily? Now it's payback time. *insert evil face here* This game requires 5 people in a group. The male teachers are seated on the chair in front of their group members. Each teacher is required to stand 1 metre from each other. The last person is to remember a list of 10 words and the information has to be passed down to the team leader. The names must be in sequence but the spelling is fine. After peeking at some teacher's answers, I can't help but laugh because they can't spell certain things. I know it's bad but it's still funny.




What's the next game? Well, each team is given 30 paper cups. Their mission is to stack it up as high as they can. The tallest structure wins. One team decided to build a pyramid while the other teams just took the whole stack and put it on the ground. PLOT TWIST! Now the team which keeps the paper cups, and the quickest to do so wins. So obviously the team which just took out the whole stack on the ground wins because its already stacked to begin with! What are the prizes for the winners you may ask? It's chocolate! Come on, who doesn't like chocolate?




An apple a day keeps the doctor away. So, why not feed apples to not-so-little children? So, aim of the game is to eat the apple that is on the barbeque stick. The fastest wins. It's not very much of a surprise that a guy wold win this game. Come on, have you seen them eat that apple? It was as if they didn't see food for months!



We were then an hour for recess. After that, it's time for performances. First up was Shawn Ng singing Little Things by One Direction and You Raised Me Up. He drove all the ladies crazy. I think we have ourselves a new Justin Bieber. Second up on stage is 4 Mawar presenting their Choral Speaking entitled Teachers which made the crowd laugh from the little nicknames our teachers got. Third up is our school's band playing a few hit songs. The Prefects and Librarians did a dance-off which involved some extreme moves! Some performances also include inviting the teachers up to dance. I'd have to say that our teachers still got their moves. Then the ceremony closed off with a short skit by the Technics and Vocational Department which involves devils. I'm not sure if that is a very great end but it seems so!
