A day to remember
We headed towards the China Friendship Hall to attend the ceremony. How proud my parents and I were when we saw all those banners hanging in front of the hall giving compliments to the students achieving brilliant results in O and A level.
My friends were already there and seemed to be more enthusiastic than me. At about 8.30 we entered the auditorium. It was a big one.

The song made me feel deeply about the martyrs who had sacrificed their lives for the country. The speech of the editor of DS was inspiring. Not only me it touched the hearts of all my fellow mates.
After the speeches of other dignitaries the most eagerly expected moment came -- distribution of prizes. According to the alphabetical order the awards were distributed. It was a great moment for all of us.
