Today,16 of the sec4s went down to Singapore Polytechnic for the NYAA ceremony. (fast forward to reaching there) Upon reaching there, we realized that the bus dropped us off at the wrong point and walked 4 carparks down to the venue.

Mrs Lim Hwee Hua, Senior Minister of Finance and Transport was the guest-of-honour. The ceremony was alot about listening to the speeches made by the various figureheads and clapping for many others, whilst one wait for one's turn to walk up the stage and walk down in 10seconds. Though, one inspirational figure was a disabled guy who took up NYAA as an individual to challenge himself to greater heights in his own life, as he felt that he had nothing to lean back on, should he fail in his acdemic aspect.

After the whole ceremony was the photo-taking, followed by a tea reception where our guides showed their true colours, pouncing like a tiger pounces on its prey. Because the silver-awardees were released later, most people had taken their share of food and thus, the queues were not as long. As like most of these tea reception, there were items such as bee hoon, soon kueh, mid-wings, small pieces of pizza, bite-size pieces of oreo cheesecake. Our guides took their share of food and we assembled in a circle, having a good time of bonding with the accompaniment of the food. I believe that the guides had their fair share of refreshments.

Following, we took some group photos before making our journey back to the east.
