Happy Teadren Day!!!

First and foremost, i still would like to stress that i don't particularly fancy teacher's day celebration.
This year, fortunately, was an exception.
It was, first of all, an ambitious project - 4 hours under the void-deck, in the heat and all of us teachers bedecked in our 'fineries' - samping and all. No joke.
But the enthusiasm of the participants more than made up for it.
There was MC Yan and MC Amir, both newbies to the performance world, but i must say, were credible and entertaining, as well as informative. Kudos to them. Especially to MC Yan.. :)
Then there were the S5, and the S5s and the S5s...they pretty much dominated the show, this being their last appearance, or so it seemed..and WOW! Nabjo must surely be the best actress of the day - she was so totally out of her shell...furiously funny as the vogue mother who was determined to remain oh! so unIslamic...Ummi was hilarious as the grandmother- liked the way you 'dance', grandma... And of course, there was the boys' dikir barat - a spectacularly complicated swirls of arm movements and syaraf's voice was just so golden, so good... :) And of course there was abu, the' joker' who couldn't stay serious even if he wanted to.... and haykal, great job leading the percussionists - shah and ismail, you guys really did a good job providing the beat and soul of the performance.....there was a 'choking' moment though, when the guys were singing a song, led by ishak. i don't know - i could not just sit and listen, i had to leave, for i had told myself i was going to be all smiles that day...no rain, please!! :)
there were thankful moments like when azlina gave me my 'report card' - it was so touching... when i was sneaked from behind to say something, i was so out of words, but almost 'died' trying to stifle my laughter when i saw the whole lot of S5A boys, their hands over their heads, really looking like monkeys... i half expected ariff to do the monkey dance, too... but awww! he has grown too matured for that, i guess, right thinker?? :)
It was, Alhamdulillah, a beautiful day.
I am so really going to miss you gals and guys...lots and lots.... stay good, k? :)
