Aphellion Nite!

The End Of The Year!

Aphelion Nite was held on a Fri. It was 2 celebrate the end of the year with our Aphellion-mates. And, as the name suggests, it was held in HCI at night. They provided dinner and a show.

Dinner was at 6. When the food was uncovered, there was a stampede for the food. I had to wait almost 10+ mins to get the food. There was SweetNSour Fish, pineapple rice, macaroni and cheese (which was not so good), veg and prawn fritters. the drinks had almost ran out by the time I got to it. They had to get a refill. The only thing not so good about it was that they only had enough drinks to support all students and staff for only half the meal. (hope this can b improved!)

The performance started in the auditorium at about 6:30 . It started off with several songs and some rock music. The 2 boys singing up on stage must have thrown their faces to space: their singing was horrible. The bands were not too bad, except for one of the players: he had the speaker blasting right into my face. I couldn't hear anything else. BOO! (you might think i am "too harsh" to criticize this guy, but if u were there, you would have written the same thing on your blog, Facebook, Twitter, diary...blahblahblah)

After that were some games. The games were played by both students and teachers alike. They were hosted by our class' old buddy. So, we knew him very well and used this point to get an advantage. There was a "Don't Forget The Lyrics" game, a competition to see who would be the funniest person in the whole auditorium and a Limbo game. The Limbo competition was a free-for-all. Students were seen rushing up on stage to get a chance to win "glory" for their class.

There was a voting session conducted by the teachers for a "Mr Aphelion". The students sent up a voting for a charming and warm-hearted guy up on stage to enter a competition. Winners received a prize. Sadly, our class only got the runner-up. Why? Cause there were only 2 people in Lower Sec category.

As it neared the end, there was a sing-along session, hosted by all Sec 4s. They were given glow-sticks and were asked to line up on stage to sing "我问天". It was fun. After that, unexpectedly, was a literal glow-stick fight between the Sec 4s and the Sec1s to 3s. Glow-sticks were bombarded from the audience to the stage, only to receive a "return fire" of glow-sticks at themselves.

The whole thing ended at about 9. Actually, most of the Nite was taken up by the Sec 4s. It was like a graduation ceremony for them: we were just there to 仇热闹. Hope we can include the Sec 3s to 1s more next time.
