Last night was Chingay Heartland Show at Tampines.
I stood on the float and paraded around Tamp. It was quite an experience, quite contrary to what I expected.
First to note is that, once again im made to believe, nothing is easy, even standing on the float, smile and waving your hand. Its not easy. After the whole thing, my left hand want to quit on me, my cheeks are set in the smiling position, and my yao just want to duan. And I realized, initially I waved enthusiastically like how I would wave everyday, the spastic shaking of the wrists and wide sprawled fingers, after awhile it will automatically become the gracefully rotating of the wrist and closed up fingers, that the queen taught in the Princess Diaries. The reason behind that is not to appear refined and graceful, its to conserve energy. Really.
Secondly, I love small kids! They are soo gullible and cute! The small girls look at me with awe in their eyes, I was super amused and euphoric on adolescent admiration. Some asked me "Jiejie, are u a fairy?" ahahahahaha. I am I am. 200% fairylic. Except one rude little boy who shouted "Oi You think u very good arh" when our float drove past. Actually ya, I think I'm very good and you little boy will grow up deformed and impotent.
The fun part of the parade was actually when the float went past unpopulated roads and the driver sped up, I stood and sit at the edge of the float and enjoyed the wind on my face. We had no safety belts or anything to secure ourselves to the float, the danger of falling off and the proximity of the running ground below somewhat excites me. Images of train-jumping heroics flashed before me, and I almost was tempted to imitate. Why did I not do it? Anyhow, sitting on the edge and swinging my legs was an experience not to be exchanged for anything.
Last thing to mention was, my face was documented in countless digital photos (none mine), well, it's a nice thing to know. A mini semi-5-minutes-of-fame, even though they don't know who I am, I hope they remember me as "the Fairy" ahaha, let me shuang abit.
Lastly lastly, one of the people who requested to take photo with us was a major MO-BENG MOLESTFUL LOSER!!! Before he poses, he will specially request us to put our hands on our waist (like a teapot handle), THEN he will grab our waists through the opening, and inch UPWARDS!!! STUPID MOBENG!!! AND THEN HE WILL SQUEEZE OUR WAISTS! OMGGGGG........OMG.........OMG........stupid mobeng, I hope ur face explodes.
I came home this morning, totally just kao bei my cousin, straight in the face. Nah, I know he is pitiful somewhat, but it is he who requested to not be pitied, so I think I am respecting him by not pitying him at all. I know he tells my Dad and my grandparents that he thinks i'm "still young" and he is "too cultured/insert nice word" to be calculative with me. Screw you! If that's what you think, I will just be the ultimate jerk I need be.
I know relationships need time and effort, just like grooming your plant. So far, this one with my cousin is like weed, I see no blooming in the near future, I am not powerful enough to exterminate it either, it's just there to irritate me, fml. Oh wells, I guess I would have to be grateful for him to set a benchmark as low as that, which will make me appreciate whatever other awful people I come into contact with seem like pure lovely people.
