Disappointment!

A few weeks ago, our faculty announced that our Pre-Graduation Night was going to be organized by them, instead of us. I'm not sure what the official reason is, but word went around that they wanted to take extra precaution that our night doesn't end up the way our seniors' did.

How was our seniors' Night you asked? Well, some genius who obviously either didn't make it to his/her own prom at school or was not the popular prom queen she hoped to be, decided to make it prom themed! With the crowning of a king and queen and everything! Well, sukahati la kan, if you're happy living life everyday like you're still in high school then that's your business. Tapi, this is a formal function, kata cikai sangat sampai you need the RM1000 the faculty doles out for the event, then ikutla dress code university. You invited the dean and a lot of other lecturers, tapi you decided to make the dinner macam ala-ala teenage movie/the o.c/gossip girl/one tree hill macam tu. Don't get me wrong, I watch those too, but never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine my Graduation Night to be like those parties they have in those movies. I'm not kolot, believe me. Nak pakai tube dress ke, hot pants ke, bikini ke, dulik hape aku, tapi ikut occasion boleh tak? If you KNOW that it's compulsory for the DEAN OF YOUR FACULTY FROM YOUR UNIVERSITY WHICH HAS A DRESS CODE to come and officiate the ceremony, please justify the reason you decided to don these outfits, despite the fact that you know it would be considered inappropriate? Not only that, was it so absolutely necessary to have slow-dancing sessions where perempuan and lelaki yang belum kahwin peluk2 macam dah? OK, kau nak make out dengan boyfriend kau ke, nak peluk sampai horny ke, suka hati kaula, tapi jangan buat kat official function DEPAN DEAN boleh tak, bodoh? Now, your juniors are left to sweep after your mess and suffer the consequences of your actions.

Oklah, some people might accuse me of being stupid. If the faculty organises, after all, we get free food, right? Right. But it's not about the free food, it's about the camaraderie. The feeling of being special because it's our last semester. The reward of going through 4 years together, especially the last semester where we worked hard to complete our AE requirement.

See, it wouldn't be so bad if the function was held especially for us. The problem is the fact that they decided to selit-selitkan function tu into the MALAM ANUGERAH DEKAN. Pandai tak? It's like the committee thought "Hmm. What shall we do for these seniors after all they've been through for 4 years? We should make it special, right? I mean, everybody else did something special for their pre-grad night. Tapi.. masa dah suntuk... kitorang bz.. I know! Let's put them in with the DL night. shall we? only we'll call in MALAM PENGHARGAAN sebab nak appreciate seniors AND the pandai juniors jugak!" and everybody else cheered and patted this person in the back for being such a genius at problem solving.

We are not books, okay? Takde maknenye kau ingat kau bleh selit2 je kitorang macam kau selit2 buku atas bookshelf penuh?

To Whom it may Concern,

With all due respect ma'am/sir/dr/prof/datuk/datin, whoever thought of this idea, we, the Part 8 TESL students, class of 2008 would like to formally REJECT the offer of the integration of the Pre-Graduation Dinner with the Dean's List Dinner. Thank you.
