Graduation Night 2009

There were ushers to greet and show the directions. The top of the entrance wrote, “Graduation Night, Class Of 2009″, and streams of decorations were put up so beautifully to make just the entrance look like you were entering a palace. Young men and women entered the hall and were greeted by a red carpet, lined with black and white balloons, because the theme was ” Black and White”, and made way to their dinner tables, which were lit by candles.

It was Zhenghua Secondary School’s Graduation Night yesterday, the night where graduating students would come together one last time to commemorate their 4/5 very short but memorable years together in that school. I was glad to be part of it.

Most took pains dressing up, looking for the right outfit, to look suave and chic for this one important night. In the end, everyone looked the best they could, stunning each other…

The night started with a delectable buffet dinner that got everyone going back and forth from their tables to get more. Then, the activities started. It began with a band performance that wasn’t perfect, but got everyone applauding and cheering. The next duet serenaded us with “When You Look Me In The Eyes” by The Jonas Brothers.

A video showing our journey in Zhenghua Secondary Secondary school through a video montage, left many reminiscing. The table games also got everyone at the end of their seats from excitement. Another band performance came after that, followed by a spectacular dance performance by the J.A.C crew.

The raffles draw got everyone hoping to bring something nice home, although i didn’t win anything. At the end of the activities, everyone went around taking their final pictures of their friends, either from their own camera, or the photographer outside the hall.

To the sec 4s, that night of food, games and everyone dressing up, marked an end to a beautiful chapter in their life and the beginning of a new one. Here’s to a wonderful and blessed holiday to you guys!

These are some pictures from the graduation night itself. The quality is really bad, because i “re-took” the pictures throught my phone…
