OH Farewell Dance
After days of preparation, it finally arrived, far from what I expected though. Yeah I feel sick even before the big day came, took flu medicine and was wobbly on the ladder when I was doing the decoration. Well, I was indeed disappointed that many SC members did not take charge of their duties. But rather just stayed around and await instructions. I mean, you don't expect me to hold a clipboard and ask all to fall in before I list out: xxx, you go move those tables, YYY sweep then mop the floor. I might as well do it myself! The most basic thing a leader in a team can do is to see what your duty is and just do it, don't wait to be pushed! Sigh. Maybe it's my own leadership problem. I don't know.
Oh well, I went up to bathe and change after all the work, then was a little late. I only took 5 minutes on my make-up and the coolest thing is, it lasted through the night!!! That was kinda cool :) Then rushed down only to realise that the tables were not moved, chairs not lined. nothing much done. Oh no, then how? I was indeed furious. I trusted that they would do something! N at the same time, Roll Call was just trying out their sounds. People had a hard time figuring out whether they were going to start their performance or not. HMPHH. Slowly, more and more people came. There had to be some kind of order/attraction to make people stay before they lose interest and decide to leave. No! Roll Call was still giving us noises rather than music. AARRHHH. Finally took charge of the situation, got the MCs (thanks Miko and Putu!!! You guys were great great help that night! :D ) to say a few words to get attention and start the night. They introduced Roll Call, but our dear SIR ROBERT took away the mic. How nice and HELPFUL of him. Oh well I can't be bothered to tell a granny story about the night. I m already bored.
Anyway didn't really enjoy it. Mainly because we organised it. The greatest reward would be to see that people enjoyed themselves. But the lights were too dimmed, couldn't see anything. Danced a bit but was rather self-conscious that night, plus the fact that I was dancing with the BEST DANCER half the night, and I cant dance for nuts, so i didn't quite enjoy it. Slow-danced with Lubo the big brother, and Shiming. Haih, I love the first few dance songs, 'bout 4 or 5 of them. My favourite songs, but sadly, noone asked me to dance :/ Was busy running around doing stuff.
During those few songs I actually thought of Adrain, my Filipino friend in Sec one, he was sec three then. I slow-danced with him during asean dance that year. Can still remember the feel of it. Being in someone's arms feeling totally safe and secured, his palms wrapped firmly around my waist. So far he's my only dance partner who has made me feel that way. No, didn't have a crush on him or anything.
Justin crashed in that night. conclusion: justin = brainless+cute-looking. note: I put cute-looking coz cute refers more to a person's character, like Tim's cuteness, Justin's just a joke for a good laugh that night. Well, someone as good looking and brainless as him. I rather be less good looking. Haa. He sang, but I think he cant sing well. Well don't be deceived by looks.
Lessons that i learnt that night: don't judge a book by its cover, must always take charge of things and voice out when things dont seem right. I must admit that I was a lil mad over Justin's cuteness that I forgot about stopping him, didn't know i was supposed and able to. Now that the dance is over, i'm supposed to be focusing on my Os, but I just can't do it. Took the past three days to re-energise to start off again. N now that i'm down with flu, its really hard to focus. By the way I just involved myself in this CIP project thing for scholoars: Scholars 2 you. We will be having a series of CIP activities to raise the mage of scholars in singapore and to bond among ourselves. I joined because I want to meet more people, and gain new experience. YupzWill have a meeting tomorrow with the exco members. I'm the Logistics Head. Sigh I chose the wrong post. Stupid me, butloving it nevertheless :)
