Merdeka Raya Guru Celebration

And now, the event that everyone has been waiting for. Bringing instructors, high school students and ASASI students (not forgetting the Dining Hall people) together. It in none other than.. *drum roll* MERDEKAraya+guru (a big round of applause there).

The program started at around 12 with an opening speech from the ASASI representative and our very own Achmad Bakhtiar and Nabila Syuhada. Dr Melor Md Yunus (not Mohd Nor okay *troll face*) also gave a speech. Next is a video presentation from our fellow Multimedia and Publicity Exco members. As you guys might have noticed, the video does seem kinda vague. But if you think you missed out on it, don't fret.

Food was served and performances were performed (okay that sentence sounds weird). First off, sayembara puisi dan lagu (which astounded the audience with their patriotic-filled puisi and their somewhat scary music). Next, band from ASASI students, which seemed more of a band+choir thing. No matter, the instructors and students loved it.

Menghayati..

While watching, the students enjoyed a meal of nasi impit, kuah kacang, rendang, lamb, chicken and oh this is making me drool again. The meal was exquisite. Yeah, it's not like we can experience this all day, so enjoy it while it lasts.

After that, a performance from 4K6, a sequel from their previous act during the Jati Diri session. It starts with a conflict - Izzat has cheated on his wife Alya and divorced her *sob sob* - and ends with a truce. What a happy ending huh? The next group to grab the spotlight is the band group. Jyeah. Patriotism and Rayaism is in the air.

Le kugiran

Last but not least, a performance from the bebas team (named bebas because they are not tied to any particular division). A pentomen of the differences between raya in the olden days and modern days. The act started and ended with a song. This team was actually subdivided into three i.e. narrators, actors and singer (Singer, menawan keluarga bahagia).

Baju matching

Before the event ended, there was a lucky draw. Those who are lucky enough walked away with  bag of Famous Amos and those with a bit less luck just waited for their number to be called out but ended up in despair *sigh*. But who cares though. We all had fun right? Oh, and the winner of "guess the number of mentos mint sweets in a jar" goes to Syazwi from ASASI (apologies if we got the name wrong) who guessed 267 when the real amount is 268. He must have some kind of magic.

Well, the ceremony has come to an end. We hope you love it. Andai kata ada tersilap kata, terkasar bahasa, kami menyusun sepuluh jari memohon ampun kepada anda semua. Akhir kata, Selamat Hari MerdekaRayaGuru 2013. Terima kasih cikgu!
