I am a Dancer

Still thinking about the movie "Shall we Dance", the English Version, that I saw last weekend,
and seeing my girls get excited watching High School Musical, it brought back memories of yester years ............ My School Days
I joined Drama & Literature Club becoz someone insisted. And I thot, "Oh! what the heck ... I'll just get involved in the literature part...." Boy, was I wrong.
Our school had this thing about "SENI" that before school breaks each term , there would be a show on... either Dancing Competition or Drama Competition & of course "Speech day" aka Hari Penyampaian Hadiah. Oh! I know Speech Day is supposed to be Speech Day & not Prize Giving Day but over here, it means the same .... so Voila ... a show must be on !!!
Dancing Competition : 3 categories : Modern,Traditional & Taridra
Drama Competition : 2 categories : Bangsawan( based on Sastera Melayu) & New ( based on students' own script)
Being in THE club meant I had to be involved in every show (kalau tidak, kena denda).... so ...
ME .. the "I don't want to show my face" kind .... always picked the part/role where I would be most unnoticed aka inconspicuous( or so I thot), in Taridra & Bangsawan, where they need large numbers of dancers or actresses ....
Unfortunately ... I always got selected for the part that, although not the main character, brings out that DEERRRAMA in the show. Org kata apa ... klimaks ??? Be it Taridra, be it Bangsawan.
Ayo .... mati gue .... lepas tu kan ... sure malu nak tunjuk muka... gi menyorok.
Tapi bila announce "Taridra(or Bangsawan) dimenangi oleh pasukan ...."
HeHeHe... yup .. I'd be straining my ears.
Ya ... I was a dancer(and actress) then ..... (I was better at dancing than acting)
And once, during Training for Scouts, I had to dance a folk dance with a chinese guy (with a warning: NO pegang-pegang). But he was very nice, very respectful. He was very careful and polite while we dance ....
Today ... I dance alone ... in the security of my own 4 walls ... my own salsa and waltz
So Me partner ..... Shall I teach you to dance ??? How about tango tomorrow nite???... HeHeHe

Tonite tak boleh .. tonite nak baca Yasin.. SORRY... AHAKS !!!
