SuperPass Dinner

My hall had a dinner to encourage everyone to "super pass". A super pass is to get a grade average at or over 3.0 (the highest is 4.0). The dinner is something they do every year and there are many traditions attached to it. All in all it was a fun and chilled night with lots of food.

They usually serve pork for the super pass dinner. A whole pig is placed on each table and then the idea is to cut it in half in one go. This year we had hotpot instead. The girls at my table could tell me that the reason was that a few people got a bit too eager at last year's dinner. Apparently quite a few table got ruined in the pursuit for the perfect chop.

Some of the girls on my floor eating hotpot.

They gave us little red envelopes with 1 dollar 30 cents in them at the end of the dinner. Apparently 1.30 sounds something like 3.0 when you say it Chinese - therefore it means luck. At the dinner there was also some sort of instruction about eating vegetables with a spoon because spoon or vegetables or maybe the combination sounds like super pass - ergo it means good luck to do so.

Encouragement is good for University grades. i also like the idea of getting money, very nice, but what can that buy you? i would keep it as a bit of a souveneir memory of the evening. lol
