Hellooo! :)
Had a TERRIBLE start to the week on Monday…
It all started with this silly teacher from my school, Mr. Michael *just thinking of him makes my blood boil :gRrrr*
Anyway, this silly teacher who is so super disorganized and annoying asked us to perform some dumb cheer and dance for the opening ceremony of English week.
At the beginning, he asked us to go jump onstage and go: E-N-G-L-I-S-H- WEEK, SMJK CATHOLIC! and start cheering madly with pompons and all the glitz.
And obviously, being people with much dignity, we were absolutely horrified at the prospect but the very SMART teacher already told the headmistress we’ll do it without our consent and she was already expecting us to do some dumb routine or something like that.
So we had to come up with a routine and a cheer within less than week and practice summore.
Fortunately, being the ever versatile cheerleaders that we are *er-hemm*, an extremely short routine was made up with a cheer *it was ‘english rocks, take it to the top’ this time around* and we had to cut class and stay back just to practice. *urgh*
So anyway, everything was happy-happy until… the dreaded Monday morning.
Our dear DEAR Mr. Michael forgot to plan everything with the teacher who was in charge of this and she said that we couldn’t perform in our pink skirts. Then dumb Michael suggested so smartly that we scrap all the dance and everything we planned and go onstage and just stand there holding the boards that said "English week begins"..
That was really really dumb so we complained and it was all of us against him so we won ;)
But.. the thing was we still couldn’t wear our skirts out there…
so the head teacher FORCED us to….. perform wearing the blue pinafore!!! How embarrassing!!!
And THANK GOD it rained in the morning so the performance was postponed to Tuesday morning. *phew*
We kept begging her to let us perform for her with our skirts to see the difficulty of wearing dumb pinafores while performing…
But it got worse. Stupid Michael and her started criticizing our routine and made all the changes…
AND scolded us for dragging time and all that crap la.
But our mission failed L. We still had to perform in the stupid pinafore!!
And that afternoon, while we performed for the afternoon session, we were preparing at the back and Michael got really really angry and started scolding us, telling us that we gave him a big headache. *wHaT?!!?*
So anyway, when we FINALLY performed, we went onstage and to our horror….. they LAUGHED AT US!
It’ll be forever etched in my memory as the most embarrassing day of my life.
Luckily, our very understanding headmistress told us to wear the skirts on Tuesday morning *yAy!!*
This morning, we went out there and the people thought that the PA got something wrong when we were performing *it was actually the end pose* and started laughing their heads off again. *hmph!!*
There were even people who said they themselves were embarrassed to watch us perform… *sigh*
So yeah, the moral lesson is…never to listen to teachers EVER again….
(And oh yeah, to those who watched the performance…
It actually wasn’t me onstage, it was some alien who took over my body for the day and embarrassed me with it )
