July 19th [Tues]
Oh man oh man oh man.
Racial Harmony sucks.
Today we stayed back in school until 7pm for the Racial Harmony concert rehearsal. And of that 3 and 1/2 hours, we appeared on stage for like, 30sec. The rest of the time we spent in the canteen stoning away. How retarded.
So, our class purposely screwed up the auditions at first, hoping that we wouldn't get chosen to perform on the actual day. Then, OH, guess what? Every friggin sec1 class has to appear. Jeesh. Why bother with auditions then?
So all the time we spent noticeably off-stage was while those 3 sec 1+2 classes who actually bothered to prepare something were showcasing themselves. Such a waste of time. Do they not have common sense? Here's an idea: let us go off first! DUHH.
But still. We started off by waiting 2hours for our turn on stage. Then we went up, for like, 30 messy seconds and went off. Then we were 'debriefed'. Hurr. More like screamed at for 10mins.
Then we got herded back into the canteen where we waited another whole friggin hour plus PLUS. And then just as we're lining up to rehearse it one more time, now with the 'dry-weather-plan' in the amphi, surprise SURPRISE! That Sandy Liow teacher goes and says, OH, it looks like it's gonna rain, we're gonna let you off now as we know some of you all are gonna be taking public transport and we don't wanna inconvenience you. HELLO?! Inconvenience us? Oh my, how considerate, except it's about 3 hours LATE?! GOD some people are just THICK.
And that's not it. we still have another 'debriefing'. This time, she drones on and on about us having improved. And she's proud of us for our enthusiasm. Did I say she was thick? Make that CEMENTED. Enthusiasm is not the first word which comes to mind when describing us. I'd try 'threatened into showing up on the pretence of DETENTIONS and BOOKINGS and BETA RECORDS'. Man!
I can't believe how unreasonable teachers can be. They say they've been working in the school for a decade and in that decade, they can't even figure out that performing in a racial harmony concert infront of all your seniors while dressed up as food is not remotely enjoyable. I don't feel the 'ownership' of this project neither do I feel 'committed'. Gosh. It's not 'ours' either. It's just yours yours yours and maybe those classes with decent performances. And it's especially not mine when you're making me stay back till 7pm.
PS: In case anyone's wondering, my class is dressed up as Thai food, namely Tomyum. I'm a rice. All white, so it's the easiest. She wants us to be creative and dramatized. We're supposed to be egoistical and when we go on, we've gotta say, LOOK AT ME! (or some crap like that.) We're supposed to think up our own actions. We've gotta think, if I were a vegetable, what would I do? Hmmm. We're food, damnit, FOOD. How animate can food GET?! (And besides, we're gonna be on stage for like, the best part of 20sec. Not 20mins. How much action can you put into 20sec? Not much, that's how much. Jeesh.)
PPS: I finished Harry Potter VI on Saturday. It's really really so good. Highly recommended. (=
