So June 1st was the official opening of Parliament Session for 2006 and as per regular, the kids were all out and so were the handsome, beautiful tutors.
We had to wait for the last platoon to see our dear Mrs Tamalisi Koloti Latapu, but she was all smiles as is usual for our girls.I tried real hard to see if I could spot Mrs Seini Foliaki I'm waiting to have a baby Manu, but unfortunately the may have wheel-chaired her away before I got on the scene.
Of course we cannot forget our beautiful girls of Queen Salote College and their marching orders. This year seems to be a departure from the long route of yesteryear, and O4 here seems to remember some different things from what's on today's menu.
The girls found the fastest way home and ran for it. No more routing through downtown to scamper back home past ako-nofoma'u. We though the band had more songs to play then last years, and at least they have a band to play. We had to do with the smiling and the Lef"T" Lef"T" Lef"T" Righ"T" Lef"T" if you know what I mean ?
The rhythm section seems a little thin these days, I hope it's not the rich food their eating these days, but the girls seem to still have the bod', unlike some of our year that seem to be losing the battle and the war.
After the band, came Salote Maumautaimi Tuku'aho and our Form 7 team lead here by Lavinia 'Ofahulu and Mele Niumeitolu.
We can't deny that for some reason, that fii tolu, the new shoes, the tifi kuo mei slice bread, didn't just make you feel proud on the day and ever since. We did it!!!
The strangest thing about the Laka Falealea was how good looking, though sometimes plain, our kau faiako were. I guess when they were mostly kau taupo'ou akoako they didn't much care for it. But this year they went for a new style Blue with Lokeha (as opposed to the any colour as long as it was white.) Lu'isa Hikila showing how we strutt our stuff now.
