The Ladies of IPBA's Cohort 3 & Cohort 4 at Auckland

… and some random guys at the back.

Just like the title says, last night was the farewell dinner for Cohort 3, who are leaving Auckland this December and continuing their Final year back in IPBA. If anything, it was fun. The again, of course it was fun; we were the one who organised it!

There were Dikir Puteri performance, some of the girls sang and played guitar during dinner, all boys from our Cohort formed some sort of a band, and the Cohort 3 sang a couple of songs as well. I didn’t watch the Cohort 3 performance because I was at the kitchen, eating and helping a bit (Adlina did most of the work though).

Then came the peak of the performance: the Poco Poco Dance. It first started off with four of Cohort 4 members danced at the stage. Half-way through it, they started to grab random people to dance along; Cohort 3 members, our coordinators and our Academic Advisor, John Hope. It was interesting to watch how Jackie and Sheryll simply moved around after giving up trying to follow the dance moves. XD John stopped half-way through, unfortunately.

Finally was the highlight of the night: Exchange Gift. We were asked to buy a gift under $8 and on that night, we will pick a name to give the gift to. I bought a book, but I think I’m going to feel pity for Abang Pian as I gave him a horror book. XD Surprisingly, Adlina got Abang Adha’s name, and Abang Adha got mine. No wonder that guy was laughing when she gave him the gift. I think everyone in both Cohorts that we are practically can not be separated. Ati got the biggest gift from Abang Suffian, making us wonder if the gift was actually under $8. That box was as big as a PS3 and we all know he likes playing games. Hurm…

The dinner ended at 10.30 pm, but with all the commotion and such most guests only left at 11. We took photos as well. And since there were a lot of leftover food, we took some of it back home.

To Cohort 3 members: Thank you for all your guidance this one whole year we’re at Auckland. To the seniors with whom I shared the same Phonology class last semester, it was fun studying with you. To all of you, I wish for the best in your study and future career.

p.s/ Sheryll was able to half-ruin the night for us when she reminded us to submit our School Observation portfolio on Friday, before 4 pm. D| You’re a hell of a coordinator, Sheryll.
