HONOURS NIGHT!!

its 11.27am now...

wow... i just woke up...
i reached home at midnight...
so tired... haha...
but it has been a good day...

yesterday morning, jiang wei came over to my house at 9.30am to leave his full-u and stuff before we went off together to visit jun ning...

at KK, jun ning was looking much better.. they had already removed the tube from his stomach through his nose... the tube for his drip was moved to his left hand from the right as the needle had already been in for 3 days... he told us that he could be discharged on monday after 5 days of anti-biotics.... yea..

i was glad that he had made new friends with the nursing students from ngee ann poly... haha... oh ya... jun ning had not used the pacifier that we got for him.. haha.. so we made him suck the pacifier while jiang wei filmed it... lol. then jun ning wanted to go to the toilet, so he pressed the button to call for the nurse who helped him bring his drip to the toilet... meanwhile, jiang wei watched tv at one of the activity corners while i played with a toy that requires skill to move beads across coloured wires that were twisted all over... i found it so much fun, but jiang wei said that i had a 'deprived childhood'... lol.

anyway, jun ning's classmates came soon after that and we showed them the video that we filmed.. haha.. it was really funny.. they also brought him a banner that they made... it was really long and it said 'Get well soon, Jun Ning!" it was really nice! they asked me to help them to hang up the banner high up on the wall of his bed (i guess it was coz i am tall :) haha..

but then i got an sms from ms lim that i had to be in school by 1pm.. so i quickly left with jiang wei to have lunch at KFC in Novena Square.. then we rushed back home to get our stuff before heading to school.. then while i was having my meeting, jiang wei helped me to polish my equipment! thx man! :)

then at 2pm, the councillors started to gather and we all went to prepare the hall for the event... so everyone was busy preparing, we got dressed into full-u at 3.30pm, the UGs came at abt 4pm, had an early dinner at 5pm... then the welcome party consisting of alistair, jin shi, wenyan, yinxiu and myself went to stand-by at the foyer at 5.30pm... then the long wait began...

we waited anxiously until about 7pm before the Guest-of-Honour finally came... it was a really grand affair! jiang wei and phillip did a great job with the bagpipes, giving her a grand entrance all the way up to the hall... it was a great experience being a part of it...

after ushering her up, we went back to our seats to join in for the event... after the worship, speeches and presentations... it was finally the prize presentation ceremony.. it was a really long wait as i was one of the last few ppl to get my award.. but it was really exciting for everyone as we cheered for each other when we went up... when it was finally my turn to go up... i was so nervous that i just went up to the person presenting the award, shook her hand then took the plaque without even waiting for a photo! lol. i feel so weird now, coz i was really nervous then that i could not wait to get off the stage.. haha..

after it was finally over, i rushed down back to my table and left my award there.. then i quickly rushed down to the council room to get changed into my blazer... everything was happening so fast... after i got changed, i realised that my hair was in a huge mess! i was so worried that i quickly got wax then put it on my hair! but i didn't know how to style it! i don't normally 'style' my hair! lol.. so i quickly rushed out of the toilet to see who could help me! then i saw alistair in the council room and asked him to help me with my hair... lol. after that, i quickly rushed up as i was supposed to serve at the VIPs' table for dinner and i did not want to miss it... but when i got up, my councillors were shocked at my hair! lol. then janelle used her hand and ruffled my hair! iwas so surprised! she took me out of the hall again and helped me to style my hair! haha.. it was so weird...

when my makeover was finally over, i made it in time for the school song, after which, the dinner reception.. it was fun serving food and drinks to the VIPs as i had never done it before... lol.. during dinner, i was so happy that they played my video tribute to the 5th Student Council! haha.. my efforts had paid off!!

then the photo-taking began! i took photos with those 4H ppl who were there, with jiahui & greg & yc, (lol.. photo was too bright!) with greg, his mum and my mum! lol.. so all happened to fast!! finally it was time to send the GOH and VIPs off... it was encouraging to hear compliments about our councillors from them... i also think that the UGs on duty did a GREAT JOB!! i'm so proud of them!! it must have been really hard on them!!


then it was feasting time!! as there were still lots of food and drinks left in the hall, the councillors, backstage crew and UGs were allowed to come up to eat the food! haha.. it was really rewarding for them!! then it was more photo-taking for us councillors at the stage!! haha... after having so much fun, the job still had to be done, so we all helped out to clear up the hall...

after debriefs and all, everyone finally was dismissed to go home and have a good rest!! i really think that this experience will be remembered fondly by many ppl... there are more memories to be captured like for the upcoming investiture... haha..

to end off, THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR MAKING THIS THANKSGIVING & HONOURS NIGHT SUCH A SUCCESSFUL ONE!!!!

(anyway, its 1.45pm now... haha...)
