CNY Celebration

“ Fantastic CNY Celebration “

Last month, the school held the Chinese New Year on 19^th February. We spent the time in school, practice dancing for the performance and watching Barongsai. Some of the girls wore beautiful Cheongsam, and some didn’t. They looked elegant, while the boys didn’t.

Mr Josh really appreciated for girls who wore Cheongsam. Some of the students gave Mr Josh traditional chinese foods and snacks. Grade 7 students waited their turn to perform in the class. Some of my friends seemed really bored, because there’s nothing to do in the class. Only walking around, giggling, chitchatting and playing.

We were surprised because of the loud sound from Barongsai, going up to the auditorium. We went out from the class and watching them performing near the stairs. After they entertained us, some of my friends gave them angpao. I thought they will got a million rupiah as many students greeted them excitedly and gave them angpao.

At 12.30, the junior high students went to the auditorium for practice our special dancing performance until more than three times. So tiring and boring, as we watched another class performing.

It’s the show time! Grade 7 performed quite good with the weird dancing. I felt really nervous and shy, as the girls wore makeup. I stood in front of the stage. Lao Shi Erni taught us how to dance. Even though the performance was boring, the show went smooth.

The junior high students went home based on the regular schedule. After the school, the school had holidays for 2 days.
