Tonight, I have two very impactful and significant incidents which I would like to share with the world. I'm gonna tell a story against the chronological order. Anyway, in a chinese composition, they would call this DAO XU FA. The Appreciation Night has just ended and I was waiting for my mum. Everyone had left. I was the only one sitting in the foyer, being fed to mosquitoes. The security guard started heading my way and I knew what I had to do. I got up and began to walk towards the school gate, waving and saying bye to him on the way. He asked me where my parents were. I replied, 'My mama isn't here yet.' [The conversations with the guard were in Mandarin, by the way.] He told me I should sit by the guard house to wait because it was dangerous outside. So I started towards it, continuously looking back at the foyer and carpark. I was amazed by the silence and serenity of it all. There was not a single soul in the school compound besides the uncle and myself. Not even a car. I just stood there, glad that there weren't any mosquitoes where I was. The uncle finished his check and started to close the gates. I wanted to walk out to Esso/Bus stop but he wouldn't let me. Given my wild imagination, I wondered if he was a bad guy trying to kidnap me or something. HAHA. After closing the side gate and half the huge school gate, the security uncle asked me if I was in Sec 2 (come on, do i look so small) and I said I just graduated. He learnt that I had just finished Os and was waiting for results...and intends to go to a jc. Oh and he asked me if i had my dinner, wanted to give me his duck rice but i asked him to go ahead and eat...bla bla bla. Well, the security uncle seemed nice enough. He told me to study hard and that it was not easy to make a living in singapore because of its high SOL and QOL. Haha I feel so weird telling you about my conversation with our school security guard. But I thought it was very enlightening to talk to him. The touching part was when he told me he was very glad to be able to talk to me tonight because most people were afraid of him. By the way, he has tattoos on both arms. I didn't realise because it was so dark already. If I had knew, I would be running out of the school gate and not even look back!! Hahaha okay not that exaggerating. I felt kinda awkward sitting there at first but when he started telling me to work hard and stuff, I sensed the deep regret and sadness in his voice. He didn't get the opportunity to be educated when he was young. Finishing secondary school was already a big thing! Now, even university graduates are having difficulty looking for jobs. You know, I already knew all these things and if I heard it some other time under different circumstances, I would've been like, "Come on, life is never difficult. Oh blah blah, tell me something I don't know..." Haha yes. But hearing it from someone whose life was impacted by this, I felt so...sad.
The next incident happened just before the "security uncle" one. Appreciation Night. A night I will remember forever. All dancers and speakers were so amazing that night that when it came to my turn to 'perform', I was freaking scared. I was practically trembling and could not hold the mike properly. But I did it in the end. I don't think I said my speech very well but what's done is done. Haha. I loved the last part of that night, when all the sec 4s took the stage and danced their hearts out. Even though I could not remember some parts of syf, I still felt the bond and the exhilaration...the same feeling I felt everytime I was in that wonderful dance. I'm sure every sec 4 felt the same way. Or even more strongly since we haven't danced it in a long time and it will probably be our last together. It was indescribable. I almost died at the end of it but it was so worthwhile. Haha. The whole night was memorable. Thank you juniors for all the effort you've put in!! I love appreciation night!! Woohoo! I love Crescent Dance!:D
Oh my mamma. I haven't even mentioned prom. Grad Night 2009 was the BEST. Hahaha. Spectacular Spectacular! There can't be any theme better than this because every single one of us was Spectacular. There were some friends/teachers whom I regret not taking pictures with that night because of various reasons. Like not getting a chance to meet them...ya da ya da. Oh well. There will be other chances, I hope. It was a really well-organised event and I'll never forget it. At the end of it, all of us were at the dance floor going crazy. Hahaha. Dancers especially. Grad night wasn't enough, thus the madness at appreciation night. Haha i love dancers. Oh yeah I HAVE to mention the last part of prom. All of us couldn't bear to leave the place and the teachers were having a hard time chasing us out. So a teacher said, "Girls, please go home otherwise I'll give you remedial worksheets!!"
I'm going for my first Chingay practice tomorrow!! Wheeee. Finally, something related to dance which I'm gonna be involved in. I feel so out of touch with dance right now. I need to dance I need to dance. I repeat: I need to dance:D I haven't found a class for ballroom dancing but it's in progress. Some of them are really expensive. Oh oh and I'm in the midst of looking for a Japanese class. Woohooo! I must make this holidays fruitful. I have no idea what my parents are thinking. They wanna go to Bangkok but until now, they have yet to book the tickets. Omg. I give up. I told my mum just now, it's completely fine with me if we don't go (there probably aren't anymore tickets) because I have a whole list of things I wanna do. Hahaha. Because of their so-called plans, i keep hesitating to do stuff. But I'm gonna CARE NO MORE. Haha. I'm so evil.By the way, EVERYONE, please go watch 2012!! Coolest movie ever!:DD I wanna watch it again. Haha. I cried at the touching scenes. The reallyyyy touching ones okay. Not every scene.
P.S. I can't believe this is my first post after Os. I've been so busy that I sleep past midnight every night. Ahhh. This is ridunkulous. Totally not what I imagined "post-torture" to be like. I expected myself to be bored...slacking every day and sleeping early. Hahaha. You know, I should aim to do that. Lead a relaxed life. Why bother to go out everyday and waste so much energy. Okay fine, I can't do that. That will mean I have no social life (which in fact, is so not true).P.P.S That P.S was quite long. Oh and i think that my birthday this year will be somewhat dull. Plans: go out with my family. Hahaha. I loved last year because i had a surprise the day before my birthday. The day before my birthday happened to be on Musical Evening too! Woohoo! I loved Musical Evenings. All of 'em. Labels: Dance, Happy days, interesting/exciting days
got me singing like, nananana everyday, 10:29 PM.
