Farewell Party

Prescott Hotel was our venue of choice to hold our ‘Majlis Perpisahan’ on the 1st of August 2009 and what a fantastic evening it was. The purpose of this farewell party was to show our tremendous gratitude towards the Board of Directors of 08/09 for all the sacrifices, hard work and dedication that they have put into the Interact Club of High School Klang through the past year.

The dinner function commenced at about 6.00p.m. but quite a number of our current Board of Directors had already arrived there an hour or two before then in order to make final preparations. The rented ballroom was packed with a handful of senior interactors along with invited guests, all of which were either on time for the dinner or fashionably late.

Unfortunately, the teacher advisor of our Interact Club and the invited Rotarian advisors, our supposed guests of honour, were unable to attend our farewell party. The evening began with short speeches presented by both our current and past President of our Interact Club, Choo Kok Sang and Teh Chuan Hoong.

Soon after that, everybody exited the ballroom and into the hallway where a large buffet dinner awaited them. It could be seen from their facial expressions, while they were lining up at the buffet table holding their plates and cutlery, that they could not wait to sink their teeth into the variety of exquisite delicacies which laid before them.

From the main course to the desserts, it was without doubt a truly satisfying meal for those who were present that evening.Immediately after eating, some of our fellow interactors gladly volunteered themselves to perform on stage, namely singing and dancing. Absolutely everyone had an enjoyable time watching and taking photographs of the unique performances which was followed by a short souvenir giving ceremony.

Each of the current Board of Directors took their turns presenting the scented candles to their respective predecessors.The entertainment then continued for a while longer before the farewell party ended with shooting photographs of one another and also the entire group. It was definitely an evening to remember for every individual who attended and had wonderful fun.
