In the morning had RMUN 2nd briefing + Presentations. Think we were all freaking out so much ): The rest were - and still are - so intimidating! Rawr, what with all their past experiences in other MUNs. Well, sometimes we get real bitter over double-crossers and sometimes we judge people way too early before we even get to know them. Mistakes, in both cases. Presentations were average, with just a 'lil screw ups here and there, but I guess that's inevitable.
HAPPY 50th BIRTHDAY, CEDAR! ♥
Yay, The Golden Jubilee was a total blast ;D Had so much fun running around and getting ourselves so involved in the jubilant atmosphere of it all. Over the past few days, just watching the teachers rushing and preparing for The Big Day got me so excited. 50th sure is a big thing. EXCO has promised to come back for 75th and 100th! And on the 100th, we'd come back to meet Mr Tay ;D There's going to be so much Cedar spirit, whoohoo. Haha.
It's been the grandest thing I've ever witnessed in Cedar. And makes me think back on how I've seen so many events through, successfully ;D EXCO '07 is really fortunate; BUDDY is the best! She's going to appear in all the photos, which will prolly go into the Cedar Gallery for 100th Anniversary. Haha, then people will look back, and remember the Head Prefect Councillor doing the toast with Minister of Education Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam, our Principals (both ex-s and current), and VIPs. Ownage.
I think the Cedar Gallery was totally amazing. All the trophies and displays and achievements. Mannequins of the different uniforms and PE attires and CCUs from the past to present. The highlight of the homecoming tour is the Old Bitumen Track! Sad, about it's current condition. But still, all these elicits so much nostalgia. And to the current Cedarians, it brings about so much pride ♥ THE CEDAR VIDEO IS LOVE. All the teachers worked so hard for it, and it's entirely what they envisioned it to be. Amelia is now Cedar's star. The centre of all attention. I want a copy of that video!!
Then, there was the Fashion Parade, yay! ;D Think I screwed it. But with my super 1960s appearance, all the old girls were practically going crazy. HAHA. I was taking so many photographs with unknown people after the whole event. It's so much fun listening to the ex-Cedarians recall about their schooling days in Cedar, finding out how so much has changed from then 'til now. And they were all musing over the fact that I actually look like how they used to, ages ago. Sheesh, weird. And can you believe that the Minister commented the old Cedar uniform is "attractive"?!
Listening to inspirational success stories of Cedar graduates really tugs at the heartstrings. So cliche, but amongst these are the likes of stars like Teo Ser Lee, Jacelyn Tay and Candice Toh. Well, sadly I only managed to snap a photo with Jacelyn. Ah, all my photos are in so many people's cameras and they are all over the place. I've to collect the photos, rawr! But I've got one now, 'cause it's in my dad's camera. Haha. YOU GET TO SEE ME IN THE '60s UNIFORM! :O
All heil retro! HAHA.And thanks to this uniform, I'm going to be appearing in The Straits Times. Yay. The photographer for the press even took down our names and our age. Tsk, it's going to be so exciting. This is so gonna make me read every single page of the newspapers ;D Heh.
I absolutely adore such school events. It brings back all the pride in you. And you really feel what it's like to be part of such a family. The Cedar Family.
50 years of Excellence, and many more to come.
