Choir........

Sunday, April 15, 2007

Today the choir of SMK Seafield performed at the Corus Hotel in KL. We were invied because we achived the highest distinction mark in the Silver Level Trinity Exam last year! *applause* It was so nice! We went in, did a sound check, had a short warm-up and practice session and waited for the ceremony to start. There were also kids receiving awards for achieving the highest distinction mark for vioin, piano, and guitar for both practical and theory. They also have this thing called "Rockschool". This guy performed with an electric guitar. Really nice. There was also this small boy who got distinction in Grade 1 violin. He was so cute on stage! :P And then there was this guy who played the saxophone.

All of them played so well! It was kinda putting pressure on us to do well! We were assured after the performance that it was quite good! :) What a relief! Unfortunately we weren't able to stay for refreshments because the bus driver ecame imatient waiting for us. How inconsiderate! Anyways, the point is we had a good time.....and that's all that matters! :D

THE SCHOOL BURNED DOWN!

Thursday, April 12, 2007

.........well, a part of it did anyway. The point is I lived to see the day the school caught fire. Sounds weird, I know. But everyone admits that this has been THE most exciting day in school ever. Seriously.

It all started when the "after-recess-bell" rang. I was talking to K about something at the moment when we realised that there was something different about the bell. Not only was it long, it had this high-pitched sound. B started pretending to be in a panic. It was quite funny. Kelly was like " Flase alarm-lah!" Then we heard it. See, I sort of "predicted" that the day The school actually caught fire, Pn Chong's voice would be heard in the PA system. Sure enough, we could hear her voice : " Semua murid-murid, sila kosongkan bangunan sekolah secepat mungkin." I looked at Kelly, we walked out of class and we saw the smoke. At the corner of Block A, thick black smoke was coming out of the room where the main switch was kept. I was so nervous yet excited! Teachers were running around telling students to evacuate to the hall immediately. The smoke was getting thicker and thicker and the smell was so strong. And my class is 2 blocks away! So the smoke must have been really thick. And since the school hall is a seperate building, it made sense to go there.

Nobody wanted to stay at the hall though, because 10 minutes later the firemen arrived! This is where the excitement begins. I managed to see a fireman "jump-off" the truck, grab the hose and run towards the fire. It was so funny! Kinda like in the cartoons. Everyone was clapping and cheering when the fireman ran into the building. Then i went around finding friends to share experiences. One friend was "jumping" around the school going: Did you see the fire! Did you! DID YOU! Another friend was going around saying: YOU'RE ALIVE! to every friend she saw. Then I met J. She was in the library when the whole scenario started. She thought it was a false alarm too. She was typing stuff in to the computer when a prefect came to tell her to go to the hall. It was kinda important that she finish the work so she was like: OK-lah! Let me at least save this first. When she saw the smoke she was like OMG! I'm just below it. ( the library is just below the area that caught fire)

And then when the firemen came back everyone clapped and cheered again. lol. Then Block C & B classes were asked to line up and go back to class.. Block A students however had to go somewhere else. Where exactly I'm not sure. I just know they were not allowed to go back to their classes. No one is sure what triggered the "fire". There are 3 guesses:

(i) The main switch got overloaded and 'exploded"
(ii)Short-circuit
(iii) Someone who was smoking threw the cigarette there.

Many people ruled out (i) and (ii) 'cause if either happened there wouldn't be any electricity in the school. So that leaves us with (iii). Apparently they have already rounded up a few suspects. There was a last minute spot-check to see if any "evidence" could be found. A few lighters were found......... So now there's an investigation going on. Whoever did it is stupid in my opinion. I'll post a few pictures that were taken on my next post! :)

BBQ

Sunday, April 1, 2007

Yesterday was bbq day. Us Jiran Muda's held it. And unfortunately it rained yesterday just as we were about to set up the pit. The rain has "perfect timing". I mean seriously! On days when i want to go jogging it starts to rain! When we wanna set up the bbq pit it rains! Geez! Luckily we were able to have it in da chairperson-of-Jiran Muda's house. It was ok after that. People turned up, so at least the meat was no wasted. later when the rain stopped a few of us when to hang out in the park. It's really nice and lighted up now. Kinda beautiful. :) We managed to grab some meat back. lol.

Our next event will be Dodgeball #2! It was a success before and we're hoping we'll get a good response again thhis year. And since we're experienced in organising it, this time it's gonna be better! hehe. If I'm not mistaken it will be held on the 26th of May, second day of holidays. And then at the end of the year we might have a camp out! :)

Today is April Fool's Day. Probably one of the most boring one I've ever had. It's a Sunday and I'm at home. No tricks. It feels like any other day. It doesn't feel right somehow. April Fool's Day is supposed to be filled with tricks and pranks. I suppose it's more fun in school 'coz there's more to prank. Like you can tell a friend that he/she is in big trouble with the principle or something. Old school, I know. But the reaction on their faces are priceless. Everybody seems to still fall for the old jokes. Weird........
