On the 15 of July, 2008, I woke up late because it was a public holiday. That day was the golden jubilee of the reign of Tuanku Sultan Kedah. There was a parade in Alor Star. Anyway, I had to attend Additional Mathematics tuition, so I missed it. Tuanku Sultan Kedah rode on an elephant, that's what I heard.
My friends were going to have laksa after the tuition. Initially, I wanted to join them but because prefects from Sultan Abdul Hamid College were invited to a function for stamps classification in Tuanku Sultan's palace in Anak Bukit, I couldn't have laksa with them. I was involved.
After wearing my uniform neatly, I headed to school with "Canon". About ten prefects will be going, but there was only one car. We were packed like tin sardins in that Toyota Unser. After about half an hour, we reached the palace. It was huge and decorated nicely. Before entering to a hall, we all made sure our uniform were tidy and neat. I had to wear a songkok in that formal occasion. Well, I borrowed it from a friend.
We entered a hall and had our seats. We waited for some time and a few VIP entered the hall one by one. At last, Tuanku Sultan stepped into the hall and lagu Negeri Kedah was played. After that, Tuanku Sultan got up the stage to launch special issues stamps. We all were treated with a reception after the function. Walking out the hall, we were given the first day cover as a souvenir. I managed to take a glimpse of Tuanku Sultan's mini zoo, swimming pool, a big aquarium, a football field and garage. I saw the mini zoo, but not the animals inside. We left the palace at about four and its time to sqeeze into the car again.
When we reached school, we took several pictures using our school's newly built small fountain as background. At night, I went for Physics tuition. Before CKP entered the class, my friend, BOND showed me the pictures of the laksa they had in the morning. He kept showing off with it for several days on. So, I'm writing this post to show off the first day cover. Haha.
