was so shell shocked when this totally random girl whom i don't recognise came up to me and asked me if i was from rv and whether i was the girl who made that "lock and key" speech during the speech contest. oh my god. that speech was like, centuries ago? okok, 3 years plus ago then. big difference. the point is, i don't even really remember that speech anymore, and she comes up asking me this question. reminds me of the two other incidents that i had. there was this other girl and teacher whom i didn't know who asked me the same question on two occasions when i went back to rv on two separate occasions. the teacher even asked me if i came up with the topic myself. i mean, come on, give me a bit more credit than that. i'm too lazy to go look up information for a speech contest that i wasnt even psyched for. all i can recall in my hazy memory is that i was damned nervous because i was the only contestant who got into the finals who spoke under the time limit (i think that should have disqualified me) during the preliminary round, and that all my 'opponents' were formidable people like tian meng and my dear nae ma (lee min). i was practising like crazy that morning i wrote that speech, and hwee ming & tj were trying to calm me down. hehe. was a bunch of nreves when i went onstage, and screwed up during the impromptu section, so i got a consolation prize together with my dear nae ma, and i felt sooooo relieved it was over (most partl cuz he was in the audience too, but i doubt he really paid attention then..)
but do you realise something about my hazy memory of my speech contest? ok, let me enlighten you. I DO NOT, NOT AT ALL, NOT FOR MY LIFE, REMEMBER THE CONTENTS OF MY SPEECH. not a single bit. not at all. all i remember is that the title was 'lock and key', and vaguely that i linked it to people and friendships or something like that. which left me wondering... did i screw it up terribly, or was that speech so memorable? because if i don't remember, then chances are i screwed it up right? or is it my memory just deleting the speech because it was such a mortifying thing to speak in front of the whole school in the auditorium?i really don't know. now i'm living in the absurd paronia that i said something really stupid, and people remember me for it. but if i talked about friendship+lock+key, how stupid could i have sounded? darn it.
things just have this way of sneaking up on you. i remember i got two lousy hello kitty lantern festival display at chinese gardens complimentary tickets. gosh, it was an embarassing moment, speaking in public like that, with him in the audience. shove that thought into the back of my mind.
and, if this is what you were wondering, no, i did not go for that hello kitty @ chinese gardens thing.
i gave it to my sister and dad.
