I’m so high. So high flying in the sky. I think I made the right choice to turn up for the hostel Farewell Dinner last night. Apart from having an absolutely nice view of Mr Mickey Mouse (hahaha) we finally saw another side of us – the social animal that is always hidden behind the mask of academic work.
After spending near to half an hour deciding whether to put on my jeans or the skirt, I lay my hands on the dark green skirt which emphasizes my ahem… legs. Pretty girls always arrive late, and so did we – yongyi, pear and me. Oops, narcissism is here. Pardon my incoherence, I’m typing down everything that comes into my mind.
There was not even a single chair for us to sit when we arrived at the canteen -.- so we ended up standing. And eating. Not that there were much to eat anyway, but we managed to position ourselves very near the stage and therefore gained an almost perfect view of all performances. The first one was ‘Secret Admirer’ by Stephanie(s), Adi and Erwin. Given the song title, one can expect chaos from the crowd. Yes, I looked at mickey mouse, and found him looking in my direction as well. Instinctively I took a step behind. Then yongyi and pear told me the entire J2 gang was laughing away. Any soul can make a smart inference here. That song was nicely sung. Their encore was good as well.
Next was the TJ dancers! Go TJ dancers! As usual, they rocked the floor with hip hop moves and stunning poses. Good job everybody – Cheryl, mcCarl, Harrie and Alex. I realize I love Alex on the dance floor… *raise eyebrows*
The secondary school girls dressed up to the event. All appeared gorgeous and matured. At the start I felt under-dressed, but as we moved to the dance floor, I felt at ease. The disco music awakened my nerves and muscles almost instantly. Because I was wearing a super short skirt and a tight top, I could move and twist easily. I could feel that the dance floor really belonged to us – us who dared to move around. Momentarily it felt like clubbing, with the disco lights shining on our faces. From what I saw, the girls on the dance floor appeared sexy and seductive. OOH.
I must say, the Cat High boys (yes, BOYS) were so chicken! We – pear, kaigai, yongyi and me, were dancing, and I saw them looking at us. Then a while later they pretended to come closer. So we, being their seniors, and gracious seniors, asked them to join us dancing. We even danced around a few of them, hoping that the rest would join as well. A few of them were quite good, and they danced around, but the rest just stopped moving and stoned there. They did not dare to asked us to join them, so we asked instead. Those chickens still shy away. Haha. Then out of a sudden, they pushed one of them to us. I did not notice that both yongyi and pear stepped back, leaving me in the ring with that guy. Haha. Being such a gracious senior I couldn’t possibly run out of the ring and leave him so pai-seh alone down there. So I smiled at him, and stepped forward, joining his moves. WOW. I have not done something like that before.
Fast dance continued after the King and Queen were chosen. They were supposed to lead the dance but both of them were so shy and stood at their positions, merely moving their bodies. What an amusing sight. Later everybody went back to the dance floor and joined the heat. Hot babes, hot place. And how can I forget the finale, when for no reason, all the secondary school kids formed a gigantic ring, enclosing nobody. Yongyi then asked us to go into the ring. Skeptical at first, but I turned around and entered the ring, followed by pear, and then yongyi. The moment we moved we heard cheers from the crowd. It felt good of course, as the cheers were for us. All the while it was us who cheered for others. Finally we were in the ring, and I guess the three of us truly enjoyed the moment.
Three seconds of fame. Short and sweet. Who need forever when they have short moments of unforgettable?
One thing worth mentioning. All the while I was on the dance floor in my high heels. The almost three inches high heels. After the night, my legs did not hurt at all.
