The Hot Evening of Venice

By Yeonsoo Kim

As soon as the bell rang, the seniors ran out of their last classes to prepare for their last JSB - the Venetian Masquerade. Since it was a half-day, five hours was not enough to look their very best; we were all running out of school to get our hair and makeup done. On the other hand, the Juniors were all busy trying to prepare the perfect Masquerade for the seniors. Both grades were busy in their ways.  

By 5:30 p.m., the school was no longer flooded with tired zombies but with stunningly dressed ladies and neat gentlemen. Friends gathered together; they were busy taking group photos. Dates exchanged gifts that each of them had prepared. On the Harbor Hall stairs, grade photos were taken to cherish that moment. 

“It was really hot. I just couldn’t wait to go inside to feel the aircon- and see the decorations of course,” said Dora Liu (12). Despite the hot weather of Penang, smiles could be seen everywhere with a lot of flashes. People were posing for the camera to post on social media - and some for the parents. It looked like some took pictures after their shower, they were drenched, while others took a light shower. 

One by one, people started entering the hall. People were awed by the Hall of Venice - it was beyond expectations. “I honestly didn’t really expect much when I first heard the theme, but the Juniors pulled it off well. Their entertainment was super funny, and I was dying of laughter during the show,” said Aileen, Kim (12). The decorations were amazing, but the entertainment was the highlight of that night.
