Appreciation day 2016

5.30 PM 

Auditorium Hospital Sg Buloh 

5th Nov 2016 (Yesterday)

My siblings and I arrived at the Auditorium located at Level 3 and the outside of the auditorium was packed, with chatting children. My eyes scanned the hall for my Primary 5 friends and I found them. After saying bye-bye to my father, I ran over to them and they greeted me. We waited in the hall for an hour until one-by-one, each class was called into the auditorium. 

6.30 PM 

We all went into the backstage and lined up. You cannot believe how crowded it was when we lined up! We had to sit in that position for 3 hours! But like all children, we got restless and started walking out of our line. Even I did. And the teacher caught us doing so and most of us got punished. But, I was swift enough to go back into my line with Haziqah. 

9.25 PM

"5 Irfan line up!" Called Teacher Fara. Us the Primary 5 Irfan were the only ones left and were thrilled when we were called. I was in front of 12 other people at the back of me and felt responsible. Was I going to be yet again, first place this year? I thought. Hopefully. 

When the Primary 4 students were done receiving their awards, it was the Primary 5 Irfan students' turn. And I was up first! 

I looked on the stage and was surprised. My father, the head of the PTA, was giving out the awards! When I walked on stage my father gave me a smile. I reached out my hand for him to salam. And so he did. He even hugged me on stage. 

After receiving my awards, I went back to the backstage and read the label. Yusof Al Qardhawi again this year! And, for first place! Yahoo!! 

In second place came Haziqah while third came Safwa. Mm. I guess Azim got fourth. Good effort Azim! 

Haziqah, Safwa and I were thrilled to be in the top three. My awards are..

The event ended at 10.30 PM. An hour earlier than expected. My family was among the last to leave so I hanged out with my friend, Syaima'. We were congratulated by various people that passed by and each we replied with a thanks or a smile. 

When it was time to leave, Syaima' and I said goodbyes and said, "See you on Tuesday!" Monday was going to be a holiday so, yipee! 

This year's appreciation day was exciting. Didn't know I was getting first place again this year! Hopefully this will continue till next year and so on!! Amiinnn.... !! 

Jzk!
