Hello everyone. I am Ang Wen Yang and this is my second blog posting.

New Year is coming. Everyone is happy. On the day of Chinese New Year, The school allowed us to put on home clothes to school, although, the clothes could not be of dark colours.

We had a massive gathering of all in Hwa Chong. The Sec 1s and 2s sat on the floor. The Sec 3s and 4s sat on the 2nd level. The colledge students occupied the 3rd level. There were lion dances and performances by the Chinese Orchestra, Chinese Drama, Wushu and others. Everyone participated in the singing of the New Year songs. The whole hall was drowned in shouts, chatters, cheering and laughter. The sound boxes that were fixed to the side shook as the loud music filled the air. This was the first time I have ever heard the whole school cheer like mad!

All of a sudden, the God of fortune stepped into the hall. Sweets and chocolates were flung into the air by a meer wave of the god's hand. Students were fighting for the sweets after that. of course we knew the "财神爷" was actually a person in a costume, everyone still kept the festive atmosphere in the air.

The school was dismissed early. Hence, I decided to visit my Chinese teacher as my form teacher had changed school.

Many students were there. I met another old friend Johnathan (everyone calls him Jonny). He was in Victoria. We had a good talk before going in.

My primary school had moved to a holding school so it was hard to get around as we didn't know where all the rooms had shifted to. After a few 20 mins or so finding our way round the school, I finally met my chinese teacher. We talked about school life and other stuff.

After all that, I walked home.

It was a good feeling to be back to my old school.
