Christmas has arrived early this 22 nd November as Honsbridge approaches the last school holiday of 2016. The day before, the Honnets have helped in adorning the school with ornaments, presents, Christmas trees and other decorations, as well as some creative takes such as a snowmen made from plastic bottles and a huge snowman made entirely of paper. By morning on 22 nd November, the Honnets began their Christmas fun starting by playing Human Chess. This chess lets Honnets be chess pieces as they move and strategize along a large chessboard. The Human Chess aims to test Honnets on their mental and strategic skills while they are having fun playing the game. Next, the Honnets participate in a Christmas play, in which a rich, spoiled family adopted an orphan. The orphan, who has been bullied by his stepsiblings, ran away in tears, only to be visited by Santa Claus. Taking pity on the poor orphan, Santa Claus grants the orphan grants the orphan his wish for his adopted famil

The Honnets have been burning the midnight oil by studying hard and revising intensely, steeling themselves for the exams. For passing in these exams would guarantee them a place in one of the best, most prestigious colleges and universities in Malaysia and also all over the world. To Honnets who have not passed their exams, let it be known that there are always second chances in life and mistakes should be seen as lessons to be learned. Yes, there are successful people such as Bill Gates, Colonel Harlan Sanders and JK Rowling, but they worked harder without a degree and takes them years to succeed. There more risks ahead for those without a degree, but success rewards those who grit their teeth and stay determined despite all odds. To Honnets who do passed their exams, congratulations! But don’t rest on your laurels just yet, Honnets. Far greater challenges lie ahead in your path to success, for you’ll be facing new friends & faces in colleges, and soon your new jobs. The

The atmosphere was lit at Honsbridge. Lit, noisy and tons of fun. That’s because the school had a charity fundraiser on that day. Honsbridge students & teachers, or Honnets, for short, were involved in lots of activities, games and food, mainly a creative flag competition and a soda stall serving lemonade & Infusion (you should’ve tried Infusion, it had a great mix of lemonade & grape!). The action picks up as the Honnets moved the fundraiser to the front door of the school. Loud music, cakes, cookies and tanks of lemonade & Infusion were involved. Proceeds from the charity will be donated to National Kidney Foundation of Malaysia. On the other side of Dataran Sunway, at Sunway Giza, our other fellow Honnets, including acting Principal Alistair and marketing guy Alston, are busy raising awareness of Honsbridge’s educational benefits to passing Giza shoppers. Both events coincide with the upcoming Merdeka celebrations, as they create unity among Honnets o

  Lantern making competition happened this week as the Honnets compete in making lanterns in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival, aka the Mooncake Festival. Lanterns and mooncakes are part of the Mid-Autumn Festival since centuries ago, that began in ancient China. The term ‘Mid-Autumn’ first appeared in the book the Rites of Zhou but as a time and season. It became a popular festival during the Tang Dynasty as people use the occasion to celebrate the bountiful harvest and to worship the moon. Legend has it that Chang’E, the Goddess of the Moon was once the wife of the great archer, Hou Yi, who shot down nine suns with his arrows to save China and spared one sun to gave light. Chang’E became Goddess after she swallowed an elixir of immortality, flew to and lived on the moon. Hou Yi missed his wife so much that offered her favourite fruits and cakes as offerings to the moon. Soon, people who were sympathetic with Hou Yi, joined him to give offerings to Chang’E an

On the first Friday in August 2016, the entire team of Honsbridge including the teachers and principals went for lunch at the Veg Fish Farm Thai Restaurant hidden deep within Hulu Langat, Ampang.  Getting there is tricky as the staff navigate their cars through traffic jams, unfamiliar locations and bumpy, hilly roads to the restaurant. But once we get there, we were greeted by a large man-made lake surrounded by farms deep within the valley. The main restaurant is right next to the lake. As walked inside the restaurant to be seated, we passed by stalls of fresh vegetables, seafood and rows of aquariums. Right across from the seat, there’s a floating stage where entertainers would row the boat across the lake to perform there. So far no one’s performing, so we get to enjoy our lunch in peace. And what peaceful place! We heard that the place did crowded at certain time, mostly on weekend evenings. For now though, we were swayed by the serenity of the lake and farm as we wait for o
