A Dull But Explosive Valentine's Day

    On the 13th of February, I...... keep on thinking about some... Not enclosed, ha ha. Actually, this time I'm just updating on a dull but somehow exciting February 14th. That's right, it's Valentine's Day. Without knowing why, my heart keeps on tingling with thoughts of ... on this day. Desiring to give her something after seeing my roommate finally dares to open up with his favourable person, my thoughts are filled with means on how to make this possible. At the same time, I'm preoccupied with the plannings of a co-curriculum event taking on later in the evening: a karaoke contest. Although I'm planning on various ways to make it a reality, I find my inner "chicken"ess lingers to my thoughts. Finally, in the late of afternoon, I gave this thought a pass. Pass. No more eccentric thoughts, ok! I told myself. It won't become a reality. So, with a heavy and consented soul, I proceed to surviving the harsh and unforgiving Monday classes. Like my room mate said about his relationship," There's plenty more trees to be chopped. Don't simmer and shutter just for a certain tree." .Right??? Right?

    During the organization of co-curriculum event later in the evening, my team finds us facing a lot of difficulties: damaged P.A. systems which caused us to move the venue, "uncooperative" microphone, projector on hold, and etc. We only manage to carry out the event after abandoning several plannings made earlier. I'm nervous as I'm the leader of this squad, man! Although we went on wobbly throughout the event, I decided to correct the situation by giving away a spontaneous apologizing speech: something people who knows me know I couldn't accomplish. So, I went on...and on for about 5 minutes. I heard people mutter about: "Isn't he a Chinese? Why does he gave an assamualaikum in the beginning? Weird!!!". Some people however authentically listened patiently. That's when the funny part starts.

      As I'm the chairman, I'm supposed to give away the presents. During me handing presents to a duo of Chinese girls, they seems terrified to shake hands with me. So, I spoke to them to allow one of them to hold the prize as a commemoration in front of the photographer (my team mate). I spoke to them in Chinese. Then, one of them jumped a few centimetres off the ground, exclaiming: "What?" You get it. Another one who fell for my "Chinese-oriented" look. Even after that, they keep on asking me in disbelief. So, I explain to them about my mixed heritage and my origin. They listened in awe, I tell you. Many photographs were taken, which I might share in the page when I get them. Believe it? Dull but explosive Valentine's Day I'd say!!!
