Here are some shots from our National Day Assembly at school last Friday.
The school hall, decorated for the occasion.
Waving the flag. This photo makes me smile because the girl behind the flag saw me pointing the camera in her direction and gave me a beautiful grin... only for her neighbour's flag to flap right in front of her face! (She and I had a good laugh about it in the classroom when we looked through the photos!)
The Year 3 Malay group marching.
A hall full of people dressed in yellow!
Me with my lovely class.
We were told to dress in yellow and black as they are the main colours on the national flag. This proved rather a problem as I don't own a single item of yellow clothing (apart from one vest-top, but sleeveless = inappropriate here). However, I went for black and red (there's a little bit of red on the flag!) and also wore a yellow Brunei baseball cap for the assembly. Tragically there's no photographic evidence of me in said baseball cap...
On my way home I was waiting in traffic at the roundabout and snapped a couple of photos of the billboards that had been erected for National Day:
The Sultan certainly has an impressive range of uniforms - almost as many as Rob!
