Annual Valedictory Dinner
Semester 2 officially came to a close last night. It is awfully fast how time flies, and how so much as happened in such a short period of time this year. I still find it hard to accept that I have already been here in Perth for 2 years now. And i still feel like a baby in this foreign land, with still much to know, much to see, much to do and much to experience. Well, there are always lots to look forward to next year. I guess the whole, moving out of college/hall thing will be a new, exciting and interesting experience altogether. Speaking of which, last night marked our last formal hall dinner. Well, not that we particularly like going for formal hall events (because they make us dress up, dinners are so long winded, food also not very fantastic), but it's usually quite a sight to see the dining hall all decked up in colourful themed decor, everyone coming dressed in gorgeous dresses and some even coming in funny costumes to fit the theme , beautifully set dinner tables, performances put up by the residents, food being served to your table, smartly dressed waiters to take down your choice of orders (note, its only during such dinners we actually have variety on the menu), and oh… not forgetting the highlight of not having to carry our plates back to the kitchen!
Alright, about the dinner. Valedictory Night is held in honor of those graduating at the end of the semester. It is like a prize giving ceremony, and also where they announce the new house committee members and presidents. So could you imagine how long the announcements and speeches must have had been. Well, i didn’t manage to stay for the whole dinner as I had to rush for worship practice. And the embarrassing thing was that i had to go down to church with what i had on for the dinner, which I would say was not very appropriate for church. I didn’t have time to remove my dark gothic make-up which Cherie experimented on me, and as a result I was made fun of by EP, and Mitch who was being such a dodo bird had to rub it in by saying that I was rushing from my day job! (*slaps forehead)

Ahh well, it’s a pity that I had to miss out on most of my last formal dinner. But hey duty calls. I serve a God who deserves a whole lot more than missing out on one dinner.
