Council Investiture

Hi World,

This is my 1st blog post and it will be about the Council Investiture as it was really an interesting event and i seriously had to blog it somewhere, which was why i created this blog. And i try blog in proper English lah.

Anyway, we were dismissed at 12noon, had some really expensive cup noodles with no discount for councillors at $2 per cup. Changed into council uniform, went to hall and had some last minute practicing of synchronised standing up, pledge and stuff like that.

Skipping a few parts...it was time for HSC to perform. And they're setting up of the stage was kind of loud, but it was okay. The performance was really unique and well though of. The people in luminous outfits, glowing hands, people dressed in black was all really a special idea and i think everyone enjoyed it a lot. As for the laser show, i had the exact same lasers as the ones HSC was using. Same design, same power, same brand and most probably, same supplier. So yea...Good Job HSC! Great performance. It really brought up the spirit of the audience.

Next, was the actual investiture. I think we did quite well. The only thing i realised on stage, was the the two teachers in charge kept waving their hands at us and looked a bit anxious, but i didn't really get what they wanted us to do. So i looked somewhere else cause they were a bit distracting as i didn't know what they wanted us to do. But looking somewhere else was more distracting, so many people looking at us, and i have stage fright. Lol.

When walking back to our seats after going on stage, i heard a girl from another school say:

Girl: "How they make all the chairs like go up at the same time
arh?"

MC: "起源公式院(ortus in chinese (dunno how say in chinese))" *then ortus
councilors stood up at the same time and the chairs hit the back at the exact
same time*

Girl: "You see! You see! How they do that??"

Lol, looks like the practicing of standing up really did pay off.


Next was pledge taking. So we went to our respective places. And just when the pledge was about to start, a girl placed a camera at my knee level and then snap a picture...with flash =.= and then i screwed up the 1st line of the chinese pledge. But ignoring that fact, i think the HSC really did a very good job in making the standing formation of the pledge taking and singing of school song. It looked really good which was why many people started snapping pictures during pledge taking.

21 guns! Haha....screwed. Mediatech had some problems. And the cheer was quite good...although we did a bit too many and that we forget to "hwa chong squeeze" which would increase the volume, but that was a small problem.

Next was school tour. Me and Yi xin got Pei Hwa Secondary. Me and Yi xin felt we screwed up quite a bit cause we were didn't know what to say. Anyway, thanks Andy, Kaycee and Cherine for being nice audiences to our boring intros =D.

And those few hours seemed to pass rather fast. Soon, it was debrief. So there were some jokes by Vice President which i will not say what on this blog since its open blog though the joke was of course.... very pure and innocent.... as it was our Vice President who said that right?

Anyway, thats about it. Thanks for the fruitful investiture everyone. Time to do hw liao =.= and do have a look at my Council Drum Cover and Non-screwed CNY drum cover which will be open to friends. Bb...and HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR! and also HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHERINE.
