Two Weeks Ago and Now
Gosh, I don’t quite remember when was the last time I came here to just release whatever I wanna say but couldn’t… since I’m bumming at home now I might as well just do a re-cap for the past 2 weeks.
I can’t believe all that Pre ADnD hustle bustle is now ended. No more dance practices at 65th floor, no more 2,3 cha cha cha, no more laughing my head off with the girls and gossiping in the loo. Looking back, the whole experienced has no doubt enriched my not-so-dull work life. I can’t be too sure if others would agree that they found some nice friends along the way but hey, I have surely found mine! These are the people whom you can just talk about anything. They are also the people who are there to cheer you up when you go through some shitty moments at work!
I’ve always loved to dance but to go out there and dance in front of your bosses and other colleagues, one need some serious courages. I thought I must be insane for putting my name down for the dance since there were so little times for practices and I definitely not about to look like a hippo attempting Cha Cha on the stage! It was stressful at the beginning (remembering steps, trying to look hot and sexy as all latin dancers are supposed to, partner… u name it). But can’t you tell, right now when I think back the whole journey, I’m just too proud of what the whole team has achieved; I am proud of myself for making it and realizing it on the dance floor of the grand ballroom with many pairs of onlooking eyes! I thought I could still feel the adrenaline rushing through my veins before the music starts and the cheers are still ringing in my ears! I’d have done it all over again if you ask me to!! Not a single doubt on that!
I know I am vain, I’ve probably said it a gazillion times but I miss dressing up, matching my dress with the shoes and accessories, going through shopping list with the girls, shopping in different malls just to get one thing and of coz the sheer anticipation before the Annual Dinner and Dance. That was as though a driving force to get through everyday with something to look forward to. Sigh, those are the days… Now it’s back to plain 8 - 5 routine again 
I didn’t know I’d miss the bunch that much it actually makes me wanna turn back the hand of time…
Oh boy, the music was infectious that night. I pratically danced along with every beat including the awful ones!! One must think that I was drunk but perhaps I was drunk with happiness 
Sore feet, thirsty throat, dodgy hands taking advantages, who cared?! Wait a minute, maybe I did care hell lot about dodgy hands trying to take advantages… I can’t believe what went through these dodgy heads to believe that it is okay to fool around in the pretense of I-am-just-trying-to-dance. Besides, I hate guys behaving like that! Don’t they understand simple courtesy anymore?! Too bad, that night I was too delirious to give anyone my very own 2 tight slaps… lucky him! He got away easily but I’m not about to let him get anyway near me next time!
Now it seriously got me thinking… Are people actually two-faced by nature? They put on a sombre face at work; they look all professional and you know, decent. But under the influence of alcohol (maybe this is just pretence), these people turn into someone walking around flashing their megawatt smile, doing things that you never thought they would. Of coz, I said ‘under the influence of alcohol’ but that doesn’t mean that these people are too drunk to remember their names, right? So there is nothing wrong with letting our hair down after a day’s hard work but still, I am finding it hard to accept the I-am-a-serious-person-at-work-and-hey-party-time-let’s-dance-together kinda difference… I think I’d still prefer a fine thin line with my superior and co-workers (same ppl in the project) to avoid awkwardness the next day when everyone is too sober to mention about the happy hour just the night before… It’s hard for me to respect my superior if caught him/her ‘grinding’ with another colleague… Ahhh, this is all too wrong to picture!!
Some said, drunk people do things that they dare not do or always wanted to do but couldn’t… Some also said drunk people are not as drunk as we thought and hence use this as opportunity to fool around… Now now, I wonder if these have got some truth in it…
Anyways, enough of the thinking… My head needs a rest… So, here I am, proposing a toast to all the fab people who have touch my heart one way or another. Cheers, to us, to new budding friendship!! I am sure there will be more fun moments like this to come!
