SYF Opening Ceremony

We assembled at the old foyer at 1.45 pm as expected. We were in the bus around 2.05pm and reached the stadium around 3.30pm. 1E2 was the 1st class to reach the stadium as we left first. The rest reached half an hour later. I saw my former primary school there, and a few of my friends from my primary school there. At around 4 o’clock, the show started.

First, songs were played. The Pasirians were really having fun. At first, we were the only school to stand up, wave our hands, do the "Pasir Ris Wave", et cetera, before some other schools copied us and did the same things. After that, there was marching, followed by more songs, then the shootings. Then 6 aeroplanes flew in the sky, followed by a helicopter. The helicopter dropped people from the Red Lions who were parachuting. We all looked into the blue sky, awed.

Then came the most interesting event. The school bands were up next. Deyi Secondary went first. They formed a cute bell, a leaf, and a cute elephant. Their drum major is quite good, and did not drop the baton once. The Deyi's band major won the best drum major of the year. Next it was Ping Yi and Springfield Secondary, combined. Even though they were combined, they were still a small group, and as a result, they could not do much, except for forming an X, square, diamond, line, cross, et cetera. The only formation they did was to form the words "SYF 04". When the TKSS band went up next, they received a lot of cheers, not only from their own school. The formed complicated formations like a wild cat leaping up, shark, house, and a bird. Next, it was Bowen Secondary. Their music by drums was nice and rhythmic.

It finished around 7pm. We went into the bus around 7.45pm. In the bus, we were very hyper. We sang some lame songs. Then we all wave to other students in other buses, and the other student also waved back at us. Then, in a crazy mood, all of us waved to everyone!! Literally speaking!! No harm in being friendly right! But then, when me and Diana were waving to no one in particular, I realised that there was 2 Bangladesh men looking at us! I immediately told Diana we we both stopped waving. As I talked to Mardiana, I watched the Bangladesh men in the corner of my eye. I saw one of them wiping his cheek with his hands, and as the bus drove off, he craned his neck just to look at the bus driving off. PRASAAN!!!!!! But overall, it was HILARIous!

We reached school at about 8 plus, and we were dispersed from school. I can tell everyone had a great time. I certainly have a fun time!!!!!!!
