Beauty & The Beast

<$BlogDateHeaderDate$>

Sorry I haven't been updating my blog over the past few days.. Anyway, here's what happened over the past 3 days...

For starters, last Wednesday, all the sec 5s were happily practicing for our dance routine in the 501 classroom which we THOUGHT we were going to perform for the Teacher's Day concert..We were choreographing dance steps on the go and we were practicing and rehearsing for 6 whole hours and towards the end of the session, we were all exhausted but happy as we had managed to choreograph half the routine and we were also able to catch the dance steps..Until Ms Santha had to gatecrash our practice session and started reprimanding us for making a lot of noise..To make matters worse, she even smelt the stench of cigarette smoke in the class(as we had just finished smoking) and immediately barred us from performing for the Teacher's Day Concert! She stated that residents had made a lot of complains against us..Fuck those M.F residents!! Got no fucking life of their own, always like to pry their noses into other people's matters!

Her reasons were this:
1. Residents complained that we were HUGGING in the class! (WTF! We were not even doing that and besides, who on earth wants to do that in a CLASS??)
2. Residents complained that the guys were half-naked(topless to be exact as we were hot and sweaty after rehearsing)
3. Teachers had made a lot of complains against the sec 5 batch previously

The next day, we decided to approach Mdm Rozi and ask her for her permission and after hearing us out, she agreed to give us 1 chance and 1 chance only to audition in the hall at around 3.30..Those of us who were present immediately scrambled together for a last-minute practice session before heading to the hall..Ultimately, after the audition, Mdm Rozi pulled me aside and told me that we were disorganised and that, we were NOT gonna perform for the teachers during the concert..We were all dissappointed..

However, Hawa came up with an ingenious plan to perform AFTER the concert and school was over..In that manner, we were not breaking any school rules and we were also not gonna gate- crash any event..We met up at night for a couple of rounds of practice and we even managed to add in new elements and dance-steps..

Before I go on, I gotta thank Syahrir..He was the one who actually got us really organised and structured us and even helped us to choreograph new dance steps so as to make our performance more enjoyable and entertaining! I gotta give credits to him for helping us out so thanks Ray!!

On the actual day(Friday), all the sec 5s were looking forward to the 'mini-concert' after school was over and we even brought along our dance costumes..Word that we were gonna stage a mini-concert after school sp[read like wildfire among the teachers and East-Viewans alike. Sadly however, Mr Goh found out about last Wednesday's incident and although he was all up for it INITIALLY and that, he and the other teachers appreciated our hard work and dedication, he was not going to allow us to perform..

We were really dissappointed but we realised that we were the ones at fault and that, we just had to suffer the consequences and accept it as a form of punishment..

In the end, Faris and Nabeel simply made a speech on stage at the end of the concert, apologising to all the teachers for all the trouble we had caused..It moved all the Se5 5 students to tears and by the end of the speech, we all broke down and cried..

On the bright side, it actually bonded the Sec 5 cohort together as one..Its a lesson learnt for all of us..
