The Dance Club Dairies
-Prologue-
Hi everyone.
My name is Neo.
I am 21 this year.
And is currently studying in SP.
Singapore Polytechnic that is.
Today.I am embarking on a new story.
A real one this time though.
And it's gonna be about.
Me.
Well not exactly about me.
Rather.
An interesting part of my life that is.
My junior college years.
Which I feel I can share with my friends.
It was a really wonderful time then.
Having not experienced the ugliness of the working society.
Or the extreme boredom of NS life.
Life was simply.
Carefree and fun in school.
Especially since.
So many things happened to me.
That I never would have.
Even in my wildest dreams.
Imagine could happen to me.
Anyway.I guess that will more than suffice as an intro already..
Ok.
Here we go.
Like all wonderful stories out there.
This interesting chapter of my life began just like any other normal day.
On a certain afternoon in Mid April.
Year 2000.
Chapter 1 - Table Tennis Dancer
Dear Dairy.
Having spent almost a week in XXX Junior College.I discovered that the people here are quite friendly and rather interesting.Unlike the people in secondary school.Competitive and boring.Where everyone seems to only be concerned about getting to the top.Getting the best results.Be it studies.Or physical fitness.Or basically EVERY DAMN THING."Look!I got the best in blah blah blah.Watever man."
People here tend to more true to life.As in.When they talk to you.You are confident to a certain degree that they are not just entertaining you with nice words.While thinking nasty hidden thoughts.They kinda speak with more sincerity.And of course.
THEY DUN TRY TO SPEAK WITH THAT DAMN IRRITAING ACCENT.
Sheeze.Well.I guess that's the difference between a prestigious secondary school and a neighbourhood junior college.But I gotta admit.I was pretty dissapointed initially when I got my O'Level results and discovered that I could only go to the less known junior colleges.And I really didn't expect myself to do so poorly.Haiz.Guess it's all too late to regret now.Who asked me not to study properly.Have only myself.
Hmm.I guess I should really stop looking back at the past.And look forward instead.Besides.Life has been pretty good for me up till now.For one.I have really interesting classmates.And we happen to be the best class in the ARTS Faculty too....
OH YAH.
HOW COULD I HAVE FORGOTTEN.
The topic of the class aside.Something damn and downright ridiculous happened to me today.Which until this very moment I still can't believe I did nothing about it.Being CCA choosing day today.I went to the hall to sign up for the table tennis club.Since I have always loved table tennis.In fact,been playing regularly with church friends ever since I was 8.But that aside too.
Anyway.Even though I knew I wasn't exactly an EXPERT in table tennis.I was at least expecting myself to be able to pass the preliminary trials.Since I have been playing regularly.Yet.Amazingly.The seniors there were so damn fantastically good.In fact.So good that I couldn't even play my normal style.As I was so damn stressed out by them.In the end.I guessed 2 words can summarise my performace today.
I sucked.
And better still.I didn't know that the worst part was still to come.
Anyway.After the entire trial thing ended.The teacher soughta took me aside.And with the most apologetic looking face and guilty sounding voice passed her judgement upon me entering the table tennis club.
"I'm sorry.But i'm afraid you will have to go look for another CCA.You do have some talent which given proper training will enable you to become a good player..but currently we are looking for competition ready members to join us as the inter college is almsot upon us..so...please understand blah blah blah..."
You know.
The usual bullshit.
You might as well say I suck in my face.
I would feel better.
And accept my fate.
Of having to play against such strong seniors that day.
But she HAD to continue with the next sentence.
"Well.Even though you can't join us.I can actually recommend you to a better and more prestigious CCA who is under my friend Madam Chan.You will definitely have better prospects in that CCA I gurantee you.In fact.That CCA gives you the most CCA points when you graduate.You can ask any of the seniors.OK you wait here for a moment ok...MADAM CHAN!MADAM CHAN!I GOT A MEMBER FOR YOU!A GUY SOMEMORE!"
And the most amazing thing was.I didn't even say anything.Much less agree.
And thus.It was in this shocked state that I found myself dragged to the school gynasium.
Staring at an entire room of girls.
And 3 guys.
Dancing.
And for the next half an hour.
I watched open mouthed as the members of XXXJC Dance Club did their warming up.And practiced part of their performance item.
Right before my eyes.
And I was supposed to join them next week.After watching how they danced this week.
So said the last words of Madam Chan lah.
"Ok Boy.I'll see you here next week ok?1.30 pm sharp at the gym ok?Don't worry.Dance Club is the most prestigious CCA in XXXJC.In fact.We just got gold last year at SYF.So jsut come join us.We really need guys like you to further impress the judges blah blah blah blah."
The point is Madam Chan.
I NEVER AGREED TO JOIN!
But then again.
I never objected too.
Shit.
What did I get myself into.
Ah.WHAT THE HECK.
Forget it.
I'll just try it out.
At most.I'll leave next week if I don't like it.
But come to think of it.The dance instructor seemed like a pretty good person.
NOT MADAM CHAN the Dance Club Teacher in charge.
The dance instructor Madam Tan.She was very friendly and seemed damn happy to see me there.In fact.She was smiling from ear to ear.I wonder why.
Besides.The girls at Dance Club all quite pretty too.Hee.Guess I'll give it a try.HEY!I'M NOT A BUAYA!Just a normal guy who wnna know more female friends ok.
Especially that girl with the 2 pig tails behind.
She really intrigues me.
Anyway.Guess I've whined enough today Diary.Give you a break.Adios Amigo.
