Firstly, I would like to wish everybody including related relatives, friends, teachers and my parents a very Happy Chinese New Year. In the year of Ox, may all of you to have a healthy and strong body.
On the 23rd of January, which was last Friday, Victoria School had their annual Chinese New Year Celebration. As usual, there were many programmes being planned to keep the Victorians entertained throughout the whole performance. Something special was that, a group of elderly from the old folks home was invited to our celebration this year.
This year, the Chinese Orchestra was once again requested by the organizing committee to perform for the school.Besides having the Chinese Orchestra to perform, there were dance items by the secondary 4 seniors, singing items prepared by the old folks home and also a science experiment by our 3 science busketeers. (They did the school proud by clinching first during the recent Science Buskers Competition)
Of course, the reason why I knew these was that I was part of the Orchestra ! We were to stay back for three days after school that week, before the actual performance for rehearsals. (The photo above was taken during the rehearsal)
On that day, the performance went on smoothly, and this proved that our hard work of practicing did not pay off! Unfortunately, after our performance, we were not allowed to watch the performance, we were to return to the CO room to keep our instruments.
Back in the CO Room, after we had settled down, our chairman commented on our performance. He added on, telling us that we were to go up on stage to sing some CNY songs for the last programme of the celebration. Most of us were reluctant to go up on stage but we were eventually forced to. Guess What happened!~
On the stage, most of us decided not to stand at the front but to stand at the back of the stage where we could hardly be seen. The fortunate thing was that the teachers there did not actually care if we were singing or not. We started to push people randomly to the front, it was then when we began to get rowdy and noisy. However, the whole event of pulling and pushing ended up very fun!
The day ended at a very high mood and i think that most of you who had watched the performance had surely enjoyed it. Though I did not manage to watch the whole of the performance, I managed to get a feeling of the Chinese New Year atmosphere!
After the celebration, I still had to stay back to do my math project. Poor me.....
