as we walk to the left...

owh man...im back from the iscf-ycs thing at st. joe. it was...weird?

i had to run away from band so that i would be in time for this thing. i met up with rowie, go makan at canteen, we waited for a while at the carpark then set off to st.joe. i was wondering why we had to go in one rombongan to st. joe, but when we got there i found out. the venue was changed, form the audi to the AVA room. to go to the AVA room, u have to pass thru certain classes and guys being guys, they all went "sshhtt", "ppsstt" or whistled. if we went alone u would attract attention, if u go in a group, u still attract (more) attention, but at least u have frens with u.

so anyway, the thing started off fine. but it got kinda boring. the ice-breaking session didnt really serve its purpose. the praise and worship was nice. the songs were nice but i didnt really get to sing-along cos i kept on forgeting the tune. hehe....the songs were very nice though. verry nice. next was the talk or something by "uncle" david. the holy guy type. his message was more or less "we are special. god made us special." something like that lah. he told us a love story of a pastor. this pastor, he's from msia and went to singapore. 4 girls fell in love with him. the funniest story was that of the first one. her name is kristine. (not real name) she has a her own car and i guess she's rich. that pastor is something of a kampung boy. one day, kristine drove over to the flat where he lived and went "honk, honk". she invited him to go on a ride. being a kampung boy, being invited to take a ride in a car was something big. so they went for a ride and stopped at the beach. in the pastor's words' "the sun was setting, the wind was blowing softly, u can hear the rustling of the coconut tree leaves, music was in the air and we were walking to the sunset" romantic eh? so they walked and walked and walked and they reached a rock. keep in mind that the pastor is a very spiritual guy. when they reached the rock, he sat on the left and the girl sat on the right. (and i sat in the middle...haha...nolah) and then, the girl looked at him.....and he looked at the sky. (lolz!!) after a while, he said "kristine, there's something i need to tell you" she listened eagerly. she waited and waited. finally he said "lets go home" hahahahhahahaha...everyone was laughing by this point. thats the only funny story. haha...

so after his talk, we went down to the stadium.

u know, if u want to go down to the stadium from the AVA room, u're bound to pass a few classes. one was empty. but the one dowstairs after the stairs wasnt. although the windows were closed they could still see us walking down the stairs from the space on top of the windows. (i noe its a bit hard to imagine) so we walked lah...i was walking with rowie. janice and abigail and another girl was in front of us. when we passed the class, the guys there were like..."hi...hello". ish, miang!! and then when me and rowie passed, they muttered something else too. i thought it was just me, until rowena said "did u hear them all say anak cikgu??" aiyoh!!!! i felt so malu, i walked all the way to the stadium with my head down. i swear, u dont know how memalukan it is to have guys whisper "anak cikgu" to each other when u walk pass and having guys scared of you because of that so-called sacred title. aaarrrggghh!!! but that one not that bad yet.

when we reached the stadium (after what seemed like an eternity of a journey), we were asked to make 2 circles, one for girls one for boys. the guys were to supposed to make a circle around the girls. so we made a circle lah. i was very blur here cos i was thinking "what are we gonna do??". but carol told me to relax cos it was gonna be fun. then i found out that we were gonna do the frenship dance. what the crap!!! in the dance, u r paired with a guy. the guy would be the one standing behind u in the circle. the thing about it is that u have to dance with different guys but the worst is that you have to hold hands!!!! oh no!!! and the guy behind me was so freaked out cos i the-anak-cikgu was going to dance with him. i think he's in form 2. dunnolar...anyway, he didnt even want to get near me and i felt so insulted!! i mean, i noe u dont like the idea of dancing with me but the idea of holding your hand doesnt exactly merangsang me either. ish!!! so the first guy wasnt good and i felt a little, note, a little, pissed. the next guy, let me see...he looks biasa only and he actually smiled at me so i felt a bit, a micromilimetre bit better. so we got ready and waited for the song to start. get ready means the girl (literally) hands her hands (huh?) to the guy and the guy holds it. (dont get any thoughts here!! i had to go thru it so if u think its gross, imagine how i feel) anyway, it took quite a while to get ready for the next "round" cos some ppl were partnerless. so most of us had to stand in position while others got their partner. and this certain guy, he actually held my hand (most of them just slapped theirs on yours so you're not exactly holding) and he wouldnt let go!! his thumbs were on my thumbs so i couldnt just slip off my hand and i didnt want to insult him (the way the first guy did) by struggling off. so i had to grit my teeth and bear with it. and i noticed that his hands were trembling. i dont want to even guess what that meant. nervous?? i hope so. rowena also said a lot of guys had shaking hands. it was taking a while to get the dance going and i was thinking, "dude, let my hands free a little and maybe u would stop shaking". but no matter how much i willed, his hand wouldnt stop shaking and he didnt loosen his grip. thank god, we carried on and he ended up, far, far away from me.

i truly pity the guys who had to endure the agony of getting me as a 3-second dance partner.

amnesia's hands were the coldest. i was suprised. the other guys hands' were warm but all were unfortunately, sweaty. ew~ and then, there was another guy, another weird one but not that bad looking. he freaked me out though. i danced with him and he hold my whole hand!! i kinda winced, bit my lip and was like "ok..." and then we had to jump or slide or something, instead of the normal walk to the left and walk to the right. anyway, i was laughing at the notion of doing something weird and looking at caroline practically dragging her partner (i dont know if it was on purpose but it sure looked that way) and my so called partner laughed with me. i almost burst out laughing at him. haha!! later on when i was going back, i was waiting for rowie, she was talking to jim, that same guy (not jim) said to me "kitak anak cikgu kan?? erm...cikgu...cikgu" ish, asshole, pretend to forget my mum's name. so i answered lah..."cikgu elisabeth?" and he said "ya!! bagus, bagus..." what the hell?? what's so bagus about it?? girra!! haha...

ok, that was a totally new experience for me. i wish we had more praise and worship cos i totally adore the songs. rowena kept laughing everytime she saw kevin sia. she also kept on making fun of me cos of the whole anak cikgu thing. stupid girl...and she met the pervert and another of her stalker. audrey something asked me what girra meant and i was laughing. one guy looks like a younger version of silas (hehe). patricia ivy is gonna add me in frenster(whatever that means to you). my mum is in a crappy mood for no apparent reason. she more or less demanded me for the car keys when i was in the AVA room and rowena said everyone looked at me. malu!! and she just accused me of freely giving my phone number to ppl. what the hell!!

the cleaning of music room was okay. but band was kinda kelam kabut and my patience with the cfoo is running short. sorry i wrote so long and thanks for reading. obviously, its been a while since things happen. hehe....not that i enjoy every part of it!!
