HI-Tea SEMENTAS 2014

Assalamualaikum wbt

Last Saturday, I had the opportunity to be part of the school event for the last time before moving to another school next year.

The school organized Hi-Tea at Grand Season Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. 

Overall, I would rate the place 5 out of 10 points. It's just an average place with poor ventilation (note: the Olas Restaurant is at Basement 1 with poor air-condition system).  It was quite stuffy when you had more than 100 packs in a not so big area in which the chairs were arranged too close to one another! Therefore, for those who came with small kids/ babies , the atmosphere and setting are not conducive for them to move around (note: only 5 or 6 high chairs were available although we requested for more). As for the food, the choices are quite limited but the taste was not that bad! Syukur Alhamdulillah for that! In terms of the overall service, personally the whole committee and I felt a bit disappointed with the hotel management. The staff especially the manager in charged were not approachable and not being helpful. Upon making reservation, the hotel management had agreed on several things that we requested for the hi-tea. However, we did not get what we requested. In fact, we were blamed for making so-called inefficient reservation with the hotel management. The situation became quite awkward when the manager started to boast his credibility in organizing any event at the hotel straight to us as if like it was our first time ever having such event outside of the school. Eventually, we decided to just make do with whatever things the hotel had provided for us and proceed our event. I guess that's the best thing to do at that time instead of arguing endlessly with the manager.

Let's put aside the not so fond memory of the day and talk about our school Hi-Tea.
The theme was Glamorous & Glittering. As expected, most of the teachers (the ladies especially) were looking absolutely stunning from head to toe. Everyone who came received a door gift and a lucky draw prize! The grand prize of the lucky draw was a LCD TV! Even though I did not get the grand prize, my lucky draw prize was not that bad too lol! I got a Pensonic coffee maker. ok la kan? kan??

Here are some of the pictures captured during the Hi-Tea. I wish I had the chance to capture a group photo of everyone attending the Hi-Tea as part of my memoirs in SEMENTAS.

By the end of the day, everyone had great time spending time with each other.
Most importantly, none of us went home empty handed =)
