Explanation: For those who couldn't make sense of the conversation, here's what happened. There are a few students in our school, (called delegates) who participated in this event called the Role Model United Nations, at RJC along with delegates from other schools. Today was their last day, and thus they have a dinner and dance to end the event. 3 out of 5 delegates from our school decided not to go for the D&D, so do the math. Wesley didn't want to feel awkward there, having no one from our school to talk to, so went around 'desperately' calling everyone he knows to drag along to the D&D.
I was the victim.
0700h.
Met Wesley at Prime supermarket. Took a bus ride down to Junction 8 before we begun our long walk to RJC. That was when he broke the news to me.
"erm, so do you want to be Han Siang, Andrew or Mitchell."
"WHAT!?"
"Cos you have to like register, and..."
"oh my god, why didn't you tell me earlier...:/"
If he told me that the first time he called me, I wouldn't have gone at all. :/ So I was now supposed to pose as someone, to go for this thingy. (makes me look desperate, when I'm not. sigh.) So I was flustered and nervous the entire evening, afraid that someone would see through us.
We went over to the "hodge lodge", where they had this registration table. GREAT. ELGYN AND WESLEY SAID I WAS MITCHELL. :/ The worst is yet to come. Wesley mentioned that we would be given roses that we had to give to someone of the fair sex. But now, not only must we give the rose to someone, we have to give the rose to a SPECIFIC someone. (numbered pairs, Mitchell, which is me :/ is M61). omigod. I was planing to just give my rose to any random person that looked...ok and then run away. lol. Ha, in the end we just left our rose somewhere. I guess it's wilting now.
I was so nervous. I knew nobody, I know nothing about this RMUN thing, OMG.
And at that moment, I felt this hard dull poke (maybe with two fingers?) on my right shoulder. Turned around. *who's this...* everyone was so formally dressed I just couldn't make out who was who.
OH. SILVANA. WHAT A SMALL WORLD. :/ For 2 seconds, I felt like I fit in, cos at least I knew 1 person who is not from our school. But I was feeling insecure again, after 2 seconds. :/ That's what happens when you have a conscience. You can't lie without feeling awkward.
The worst part of the evening? The second D, the 'Dance' segment. :/ Our parents probably have left us alone on a particular night every year, to go for their company's Dinner and Dance. From what I heard from my parents, they usually had dinner at a hotel ballroom, and dance meant ballroom dancing.
But, RMUN's dinner and dance meant catered buffet, and CLUBBING. :/
I confirm that I am not a party animal after today's events. I just stood there, LIKE A STONE. (I couldn't even sway with the music). And, I usually listen to music on my mp3 player at 4% volume. So, the music today was very very very loud for me. I had 2 fingers shutting out the noise the entire evening. :/
In conclusion, today was dam weird. Everyone else is a crazy party animal, THAT INCLUDES WESLEY LEE. At the beginning, he was like me, stoning. Afterwards, he was like, "OK, I'll probably not be able to do this after today, LET'S DANCE!" So, I ended up being the only stone in the room. SIGH.
And then when some of us left first, Wesley didn't want to leave. He wanted to continue dancing. omigod. :/
Argh. That wasn't exactly a nice experience. But still an experience nevertheless?
I don't drink
I don't dance
I don't party, till dawn turns dusk.
I'm happy to be listening to Taylor's music at a much softer volume now. Lucky to still have my hearing.
I guess you guys can find RMUN photos at Elgyn's blog, Martin's blog or Silvana's blog. Links are on your right!
I didn't have a camera, neither would I dare take photos. (I was so desperately trying to maintain a low profile.)
you guys don't know how scared I was when they started shouting numbers...
I like my explanation. Wei Lun asked why I went for the RMUN D&D (god knows how he knows. Let's just say he has a wide network of..girlfriends.)
My answer?
Cos I'm like super hot and everyone wants a piece of me. How could I not turn up? If I didn't turn up, I'd be letting down all my fans!
