Other than the fact that the chalet at Changi was super inaccessible and half way around the globe from my home, Ares faculty outing on Friday night was not bad! I think mainly because my secret dream was finally fulfilled, haha.

So everyone gathered at one bungalow after dinner for some activities, of which included the Hotest Girl and Most Macho Guy search. And then came Ares Idol... I was just sitting around minding my own business when suddenly everyone in my class was pointing their fingers at me! I tell you I was shocked beyond words and trying very hard to (subtly) change the topic, but to no avail. I wanted to run away because I know, I just know that I'd just make a fool outta myself (which I eventually did anyways) if I did perform.

But after much cajoling by my classmates, seeing their watery pleading eyes, I had no choice but to agree... It's not easy you know, and especially so for a shy person to step out into the wilderness of public performances, hehh. So I sang a duet of Wu Ding (my favourite duet song!) with my classmates. During the performance, although my memory failed me when I needed it most, the awkward pause of trying very hard to recall the lyrics actually brought about roars of laughter, much to my astonishment!

Anyways you know what I think it was quite a good performance! My singing talents have finally ventured beyond the boundaries of the shower toilet! I always imagine myself singing to an audience when I croon love ballads in the shower... This is like a dream come true!

I guess everybody have secret dreams of their own, and this was my secret dream, which I never thought would ever come true.

Dare to dream.
