openday 2009

phew what a day. Today was curtin's 10th anniversary celebration. For weeks we have been practicing saturdays and a few other weekdays for the three songs that we performed today. 

I never thought i would be singing in front of the chief minister in my whole life. I mean coming off the airplane from dubai to klcc if someone told me you'll be singing in a choir some day i would have laughed really hard in disbelief but life has its surpirises. 

We sang Negaraku. Yes, i know the words, and the Australian National anthem before the 10th anniversary celebration commenced. I will say we have come a long way from the first time we gathered to sing and there have been a few casualties along the way, people who didn't make the cut. I want to say its not because they could not sing but there was limited places for the performance. 

The last song was 'you raised me up' and even though everyone had left the recreational centre the dean wanted us to sing regardless so we had out time singing the beautiful song. I think of all the versions i've heard our version was kind of the best. Brought a few girls to tears. Emotional i guess to finally sing after much practice. 

After all the performance it was off to the booth to sell off all the delicious food. I  have to say vcf makes the best food for open day every year. Last year we sold taiwanese crepe that sold really well that this year some other club decided to sell it leaving us with something new.

We made sushi, Nachos, crepe and coconut juice. Sushi was the best seller, first to finish. Then went to nachos, and before long our crepe was gone and all that was left of the coconut business were the husks. I thank God la for his favour in our club. Its really not that we can cook or have these great people or ideas its really how God uses these things to make us happy and look good.

Every year there's lucky draw and every year i tell myself that i have a chance to win. This year the grand prize was trip to Perth Australia courtesy of Royal Brunei Airlines. Needless to say this was not my year.

Sigh, all in all thank God for his grace. A big thank you to the open day organising commitee they really put a lot of effort into making the open day a success. Especially Mr. Yap hehe. Ok thats it.
