Merdeka!

Last Wednesday my IPG Kampus Pulau Pinang had this assembly regarding our National Day. It was held in Gelanggara. Not much to tell actually. It's just like the ones we had back in school - with the performance and all. It's just that I felt I left school for so long and this particular assembly reminded me of how much I miss my school.

Anyways, the assembly started with dances from the Kadazans, Bajau, Indian, Chinese and Malay. Then they all danced in harmony together with a national song. I was entertained particularly with the Indian and Malay dances since they brought up strong choreography with a little twist to them.

After that the Tuan Penagarah, En. Rijeng Jahet (yeah the tuan pengarah's name is weird..he must be from Sabah or Sarawak) officiated the ceremony by cutting the ribbon so the banner will scroll down upholding this year's theme: 1 Malaysia Menjana Transformasi.

Later, there were some poem recitation, choir and sing along with the Sudirman song from a few of the PISMP batches, and that marks the end of the assembly.

The celebration over all was some whet refreshing to have once in awhile. It makes me reminiscence my young days as a student. It's also a way to channel my stress with the level of workload and make up classes I have over this few weeks. It isn't easy to become a teacher. You have to know all the theories of learning, important procedures for both the curriculum and co-curriculum in schools and much much more.

Let us pray for the best so I can contribute good teenagers to soon rule the country insyAllah =)
