Title : So long, farewell, Auf Wiedershen, goodbye
Time : 8:12 pm
Earworm: Every Breath You Make ~~PoliceThe last official day of school. Farewell assembly>> we were shown a video of what TJ has given us, or more like to three specific individuals, climaxing with the basketball match... whoa that really is one of my most memorable moments here. more so for ms. kwan who was a student 20 years ago when TJ last won the basketball trophy. some performances by the dance club (which was not really on par with their other dances i thought, but ah well, year twos only what), izzati with breakaway, improvement from her previous singing on stage, but still a bit jittery somewhat, and this takes the cake, a funked up version of tears in heaven with Mr. Bala reprising his gangsta rap role. there were also performances by GP tutors with puns inserted by narrator Mr. Rajesh. a skit with DM being a sloppy security guard (can see the reluctant smile on his face) and Jenny Kwanikourva (homegrown advantage, indeed), slumber DVD peddlar, ballet dancer impersonating a mango, infant clothes seller and the most bizzare one-- hunter in big bird costume (which was given to karthik later, whom i heard ordered KFC in the yellow costume!)it was really the math and science dept that moved me tho, especially with the rousing sentimental music in the slideshow of how life is like a statistic, life is a random variable, increase your confidence level, probability of success is not a constant and be a significant figure! if only i could get ahold of that slide, it can be my life philosophy! later they improvised some songs and sang a capella with mr. low on guitar. one is Every Breath You Take-- I'll be watching you (every letter you faked, every boast you staked...creative geniuses!) people also got quite sad at auld lang syne. later i reflected on my memories of TJ, it's not that im attached to the school but more to the people here. and how being in the guitar club was an integral part of my life here in TJ, i guess i'll miss the close friends i've formed (let's see how our friendships will last) and some dedicated tutors. will not miss the green uniform hahaha...
