A night to remember

Few days ago Anastassia attended the State's Perhimpunan Hari Guru 2008 at one of the hotels. The function was mainly to give awards to deserving teachers including the Tokoh Guru Peringkat Negeri.


Sometime in February, Kementerian Pelajaran announced that as previous years, there will be an essay writing competition for students and teachers, in either BM or English. This year's title is"Terima Kasih, Cikgu"

Anastassia's BM teacher asked her to enter for the BM category, but Anastassia, who knows that her English writing is much better than her BM, decided to submit the English version.


In May this year, her classmate was announced to be the winner for Kebangsaan Level. She received her prize during the Hari Guru Kebangsaan function in Melaka.


And last week, the school received a letter saying that 5 students from their school (including the Kebangsaan winner of course) won the State Level in the English Category for Primary School. Anastassia's name was in that list.


Anastassia, most left at the hotel lobby waiting for her teacher who also won the essay competition (teacher's category)



During dinner. Most right is the student who won 1st place Kebangsaan Level. In the background, I would assume would be Mia's seniors who won an award in a science related competition in the US.




Anastassia most left with her ex-Guru Besar Cemerlang, her teacher and fellow classmates who won. The secondary girl is an ex-student who won the secondary category.


Anastassia posing after the ceremony at the hotel's entrance. Gambar her receiving the plaque and certificate on stage is in her friend's camera.

The inscription on the plaque.

Before leaving the hotel, me and hubby chatted up with several YBs while waiting for the Menteri Besar. They personally congratulated Anastassia, especially for being the only Malay who won the English Essay Writing in both Primary and Secondary category.

It was definitely a night to remember.
