JIS International Day 2010

5th November 2010


International Day is a yearly event at JIS when all students are urged to wear international costumes, either traditional to a country or dress up as someone famous from a particular country. Last year, Brunei was well represented by my friend, Yadi, who dressed up as Awang Budiman, the mascot for Sea Games quite a while ago.

This year's event was not less interesting; it was really great to see different costumes from different countries. And what better way to see them all than in a parade. Parents were welcome to see the parade and daddy took the day off today especially for this since Friday is usually his working day too.

Safiya wore her baju kurung, while I decided to relive the glory of becoming a Brunei "prince".


Safwan was also present during the event ~ he didn't mind waking up early in the morning, thankfully.


In addition to the parade, this year our school organised another activity called "Around the world in 2 hours". After the parade, we were amazed to see that our classrooms have been transformed. Mine in particular became China and I learned how to make moon cakes, write Chinese calligraphy and so on. I also enjoyed the opportunity to visit other "countries" and gained a lot of information.
