Cultural Evening

Amirul last minute asked me to do a report on the Thumbelina doll sales. Shit, why do I have to do shitty work when I am sick?



Yeah....shitty report need to be done.

So, yesterday's Cultural Evening was really really screwed up. I tell you why, let's go step by step.

At 11 a.m, I had to be at school to help out on preparing the decorations, bringing in plastic chairs, finishing the name tag works and so on.

I was really really sick.


All work no fun, nah. Manpreet entertained us with his dance.



Kyle and Amirul and Hao Yang managed to clean the boy's toilet at the backstage just for the event.

They did a great job.


The plastic chairs.


EYE members at work.


The decorations.


Cheng Heng brought his basketball for us to play.

If you can't differenciate a basketball and football. This is what happens.

Basketball = Use hand
Fooball = Use foot

Kyle's theory = Basketball = kick with slippers

Equals to toe nail injury.

Ok, ya'll should know that if you have cough sickness, flu will come along too. So does phlegm. I was trying to spit out my phlegm into the nearby school drain. Guess where it landed?

This is gross.......

My middle finger.


EEEEEE YEEEWWWWW!!!

At 3 something in the afternoon, Tom's dad took the trouble to fetch me back home. I was having one-sided headache. I think it was due to the heatiness in school. Next time should really really take care of my health.

At home, mum made me Chrysanthemum tea. That drink really cools me down alot. Had to take medication pills.


I couldn't sleep because of that one-sided headache of mine. Nevermind about that, what worries me is about tonight's event. I was worried that Cultural Evening won't go smoothly like everyone had in mind. I remembered Tze Tze telling me that former schoolmates and outsiders including brothers and sisters can go.

Since when?

4:30 p.m, was raining heavily. Took a nice cold shower and changed to formal wear. Worrying about how the even goes is still on my mind.

Reach at school at 5 :45 p.m. The event was about to start. With the crew member's tags ready, I and Manpreet had to handle them to all of the EYE members. Security was smoothly handled at the moment when I reached at school. Ian, Yu Kin, Jit Chern were guarding the gate and making sure no outsiders can come it.

I told Jit Chern whether former schoolmates can come. He thought I was bullshitting. Oh boy...
Hao Yang's father were helping out on the security. Thank you uncle.

There was this guy named Thomas, who seems to be an outsider (He's from Seri Bintang school). Tze Tze managed to get him in by asking Tzhong Shen to act as Thomas's 'brother'. Ian and I knew, we were in deep shit already.

Didn't I mentioned that Manpreet and I were 'Event Managers' for the event. So if anything happens, both of us will be screwed by Cik Chan before scolding the rest.

I didn't had much pictures for yesterday's event. There were only a few.





Mai Sabrina was the hostess of the evening.


Amirul and Kyle were 'VIP's of the evening.


The Chinese dance.

There was trouble at the main gate of the school. Eng Joo and Leslie were outside begging our security to go in. They had bought the tickets. Tze Tze wanted them to go in, but we refused to let them it. Ian explained to Tze Tze about our situation. She said she can take responsibility.

HELLO?!

Firstly, she had the guts to tell me that the person who sold the ticket to her says that former school mates and outsiders can come. But, we didn't said so. That was a false claim and we continued to stick to the 'No Outsiders' policy. Cik Chan begged them to go away, go somewhere else, but Eng Joo and Leslie refused. Its like the word 'NO' doesn't exist in their mind. Look up to the dictionary.

I asked them nicely to go to Aladdin to play, Leslie complained that it is far.

Daniel : "Aiyo Eng Joo, Leslie. Please don't make my job hard for tonight. Why don't you all walk to Aladdin there and play computer games first?"

Leslie : "Wah, that far?"

Daniel : "You can complained that is far ah? I can even walk from school back to my home and not complaining that it is far, then what about you?'

Leslie : "You different than me mah..."

Ian : "If Daniel can do it, why can't you?"

Leslie : "Cuz' we're different, you know?"

No I don't know Leslie, I don't know that walking such a short distance to a cybercafe is far.

Like I had not enough problems, Tze Tze protested that if we don't allow them in, she won't perform. Fine, then don't. Begging to us doesn't work, so Eng Joo and Leslie decided to beg Cik Chan tolet them in.

Eng Joo : "Teacher ah, I have been in this school for so long, can't I at least go in. Just me and Leslie only?"

Cik Chan : " Cannot lah, government say we cannot allow outsiders in after approving this project. It's not that I don't want to let you all in. Encik Abdul Aziz is inside there, he could recognize the two of you."

Fair enough. More and more outsiders were denied in to the school.

Then, another problem came to us again. Nicholas and his 'band' came.

Daniel : "Wassup Nick. Look, I'm sorry but I can't let outsiders in bro. Part of the policy."

Joshua Prasad was with him and his 'band'.

Then, Nick's brother came to me, the school's main gate was separating us.

Nick's bro : "Eh, you event organizer right? How can you not know who are we?"

Daniel : "I'm sorry, but I really don't know who you are. It's just that I cannot let outsiders in."

Nick's bro : "You are the event organizers right? Then let us in lah."

Eh, bitch, how the heck do I know who are you?

Then one of the started smoking and said....

"How can they not know who were are? You know who were are anot?"

Eng Joo and Leslie were stunned.

Nick's bro started to dislike me already, like I didn't, Ian felt like punching them in the face. He then stated...

"I don't like people talking to my brother (Nick) like that."

Erm, hello? What the fuck did I said to your brother. Do you want me to clean your damn ears so that next time you can hear me clearly. Just because you're part of a rap group doesn't mean you can boss people like me and my friends around and act big. You have no respect for students like me, so why should I bother respecting you and your band mates. Call yourself rappers, y'all just a bunch of un-educated people who raps about the same old thing that is been playing on the radio. Girls, booze, money, cars, not to mention sex.

Raj then came to me, confirmed with me that they were performing.

Its not my problem that I don't know that your performing on stage tonight. Because
1)I never seen you all before
2)I never heard you all before
3)I never see you all perform before
4)You all never came for rehearsal before
5)I thought out performers are not allowed?

They puffed their cigarette smoke infront of my face. Great, guess my cough will be still around for a few more days.

News that outsiders managed to sneak into the hall from the back. I and Manpreet then rushed to patrol the back ball. We both saw Ming King in his car with his friends, slowly cruising. They saw us, we stare back. They then drove off. They better not be comming in.

"Rusty Grills", that's the name of that rap group. I wonder how they performed. I hope everyone boo them off the stage.

Halfway rapping, their mics were cut off. The students started to clap. But Nick's brother was like
"Hold on hold on, we ain't finish yet. We ain't finished yet."

You are on the brink on getting finished.

They complained that the PA system was not functioning well. In my mind, I would say the shit in their pants and forgotten the lyrics, and turned off their mics to have space to breathe in again.

For the past 10 minutes, all I hear was 'Mic check one two three' over and over again. If that's what you all were rapping about, we got your point already mic testers. Jay Z or Timbaland should hire y'all.

From the look of the students, they weren't enjoying a single bit. I saw Luke (Nick's younger brother) standing outside of the hall. He was kicked out by Rusty Grills to perform today. I really feel sorry for Luke though. I and Manpreet advised him to go solo, better than rusting in Rusty Grils.

By the way, of all names, why Rusty Grills? Predicted that you'll rust to dust huh?

Noticed that the school's fencing was cut open. Great job outsiders, EYE team is fucked.

Went back to the main get to check whether is everything going ok. Cik Chan pulled out Thomas and asked him to leave school. Shit, she noticed that there were outsiders in already. Cik Chan then scolded us for letting them in.

Eu Jun was the one who escorted him out, so I ask where is Tze Tze, so that I can give her a piece of my mind.

Tze Tze : "Hello, what happened?"

Daniel : " *claps hand* Good, next time you should invite Thomas again so that I and my team can get scolding from Cik Chan, you happy?"

Tze Tze : "Sorry loh..."

Somemore say that you will take respnsibility.

Went back to the hall, saw Mr Chee and Hao Yang's father confronting Ah Doi and an outisider again. Ah Doi claimed that it is his brother. Hao Yang's father then escorted the outsider out of the school.

Manpreet and I then had a small brief meeting with Kyle and Amirul at the assembly ground.

Manpreet : " *points at Hao Yang's father escorting an outsider out of school* Look at this, you all should thank God that Hao Yang's father is helping us out. If not, we'll be in deep shit."

Daniel : "Who allowed those rap performers to come? They just scolded me because I didn't wanted to let them in."

Kyle : "I heard Santosh invited them."

Daniel : "Well then, I guess he shot himself on the foot. Those idiots still performing?"

Amirul : "Yes, they are still performing and I think some PIBG members that were inside didn't like the way then perform."

Kyle : "They are like acting all big on the stage, monkeying around. There are now taking alot of stage time. Suppose to be Anita's drama now, but after 20 minutes later, still talking shit on the stage!!"

Daniel : "Diu, can we shoo them off the stage?"

Manpreet : "Look guys, now we are in serious trouble ok. I think that Abdul Aziz will shoot us for inviting those monkeys, wasting their time, bore the students and taking control over the show. This is suppose to be Cultural Night, not another "8 Mile" set. I surrender lah, me and Daniel really don't know that they are performing. Serious."

Went back to the hall, they were still crapping on stage. Not surprised that Kent and his buddies don't like their show.

Kent : "Eh, Daniel, what the fuck are they doing on stage?"

Daniel : "You think I want to let them in to perform ah? One of those fuckers scolded me because I didn't know that they were performing."

Kent : "You ok? Chill lah...relax."

Daniel : " I wish, I'm having one-sided headache now. Try to enjoy the show. Oh yeah, just now Cik Chan scolded me and my EYE team for bringing this Thomas guy. You know him?"

Kent : "Nope, wah in deep shit loh you all?"

Daniel : "Yup, and Ming King was driving around the school area. Can you do me a favour?Call him to go away."

Kent : "Ok."

Daniel : "Try to enjoy the show."

There were students walking in and out like its none of their business. I actually wanted to shout to them to get back inside the school hall. I went to the back hall, trying to calm myself down, but I don't know why I brokedown emotionally. I shouldn't complain because Santosh is more pressured than me. It's his event, and its being screwed up now.

Rusty Grills were rusting the event. And I don't like it, so does Kyle. He wanted to storm to the stage and ask them to leave, Amirul managed to cool him down. Those idiots were treating the show like a talk show.

No, I don't want any Oprah wanabies right now. Do what you gotta do, rap and go away. For half and hour, the students have to suffer through Rusty Grills rusty, ametuer, lacksture performance.

Finally, Rusty Grills rusted to dust. After finish performing, they thought they could still hang around and create more problems for us. Mr Chee had ordered us to give those outside performers a time limit until 6 :45 p.m to leave school.

They were still in school after 6 :45 p.m. We kindly asked them to leave, they finally did. Well, they went out of school, started to dance on top of their Kembara like monkeys. Solomon then joined them and started to laugh with them. Jit Chern and Kyle then strictly asked them to leave immidiately.

Cik Chan scolded us again for that. Cheng Heng was worried that those Indians would call their gangs to come and start fight.

Soon, the event started to run smoothly. The drama managed to lighten up the mood. Then there was Ronald, Melissa and Kuan Yoke singing on stage. I don't know what song they sang, but it was way better than what Rusty Grills have to offer. Then, the Malays had their own performance, shuffle.

Maxwell, he was first to perform solo. Crowd started to cheerr for him, but he got nervous. Chill man, performing in front of such a large crowd ain't easy. At least he got balls to do it solo. Then, switch song, Maxwell and gang then only really started to shuffle well.

Well done, better than Rusty Grills.

Then, it was the last and most anticipated performance. Khairi's dance with Seet and Harvey. They used the remix version of Timbaland's "Bounce" featuring Justin Timberlake and Missy Elliott (Which was miles better than Rusty Grill's songs.). I got the video of it, if anybody wants it, message me at my chatbox.

There were a few shows I missed due to my duties. The Merdeka dance, the 80's dance, drama and thank God I missed Rusty Grill's show. Don't buy their CDs. I don't even wanna see their YouTube video.

After the event finished, everyone said their goodbyes and wished each other Happy Holidays. One week of rest, thank you God.

Helped Santosh to keep back the chairs. The EYE members cleaned up the hall in good condition. I have to thank Wilfred and Hafizi for helping out on the sound system. Without their help, the event wouldn't go well.

Santosh invited me to follow him and his gang for mamak. I turned down the offer.

Melissa's mum fetched me and Kerrie to Lesuire Mall. We both ate at Wong Kok. Bumped into Joshua Leong and his buddies. Cheng Heng and Tom was there too. Since I'm having sore throat, I didn't ate any fried food. Had baked spagetti with Twin Sauce and Ice Lemon Tea. Opps....iced lemon tea?

Went back home, told my parents about the event. They were glad that I was alright after my confrontation with those so-called rappers. As long I came back safe.

If you were to ask me to rate the event 1 to 10 , I would say 5.5. It could have been better. It could have been worst.

Rate Rusty Girls....opps...Rusty Grills performance, fine, kesian you all. 3/10.
