As promised, Speech Day. Speech Day is some kind of prize giving day in my secondary school but people don’t really give speech so don’t ask me why it’s called Speech Day.
Speech Day was held on 18th April this year and yes, it’s on a Friday so i had to skip photography tutorial on that day. Because Speech Day starts at 2.30pm and tutorial ends at 3pm?! I don’t really want to travel to and fro for 3 hours and only spend one hour in tutorial so yea, i told Mr Siew about it and he asked me to give some official documents to FMS office so i gave this.

I reached school at 2.30pm sharp and i spent 1 hour plus waiting in the hall for i-don’t-know-what. The whole thing actually started at 4pm (WTH?!) so the one and only speech by the principal began (boring. and i kept yawning). Followed by the prize giving ceremony, got a dummy certificate, bowed, got off the stage and went back to my seat and continued yawning. We watched the performance from various CCAs and the whole thing ended by 5.30pm. After that, we exchanged the dummy certificate with one of the teacher-in-charge aftermath and got the real certificate and 10 pieces of Popular vouchers together in an envelope. $100Popular vouchers? What can I do with it when I do not need anything from Popular bookstore? But still, my bestie and I screamed when we saw the vouchers because we thought that the school will only give us certificates as there were many others who got the award.

Anyway, we were like going for prom night or something in our dresses. But they said we had to wear formal top/pants/skirts or dress. So both of us had no formal wears so we wore our dresses. My other friends kept calling us prom queens so I said, “Okay. Let’s go to some hotels for dinner tonight.”
Bestie and me (:
Apparently, we did not go in the end because we did not want to end up washing dishes in the kitchen as we didn’t bring enough money for dinner at hotel. So we went to a cheaper restaurant for dinner and home sweet home!
