Once upon a time ( let's say, oh....last year ), I did a lion dance performance in a nightclub called "This is London". I was only 17, on the verge of turning 18 then. The performance was supposed to be at 11:30pm, however, it was pushed back and we actually did the performance at 1:00 am and 2:30 am. The problem was that many of us were underaged and wasn't dressed properly. ( How can we? We need to do lion dance! ) So the manager thought it would be funny ( at least that's what I'm telling myself ) to stick us in a horrondously pink washroom with her cat for 4 hours. Why did I mention this stupid incident? Cause I was back at that place on Saturday, this time doing a kungfu performance. Oh how I loath that nightclub. I injured my hands pretty badly this time. What happened was that I was supposed to slide down a rope from the second floor, jump into a mock fight between Khai and Jay, and then "fight" Jay with Butterfly knives then get beaten. Sounds simple right? It was actually. However, I bruised the index finger of my left hand as I was falling down in one of the rehearsals at the place. The finger got caught in the knive's handle....anyways, it hurt. In a later practice, because I couldn't hold onto the rope tight enough with my left hand, I had to hold it tighter with my right. When I slided down, the rope burned off a layer of skin in my hand. ( yeah, that hurt too ). I still did the performance with bandages on both of my hands. I guess I was too nervous and scared from the height ( it was really high ), so I didn't care much about the pain at the time. Yeah, we still had to stay in that god-awful pink washroom ( @#$%# ), at least the cat isn't there this time. I swear, if I ever see that cat again, I WILL kill it. Don't take it the wrong way, I love cats, I like them better than dogs, but still, I WILL kill that cat if I ever see it again. There was supposed to be a lion dance at 1 am, but me and Khai excused ourselves and hurried outta there as fast as possible. Now I have both of my hands injured and my right foot not completely recovered.... My left index finger was swollen like a carrot, and turned green and blue ( it's it fun? ) Don't think I'll go to kungfu for a while, I'm all "kungfu"ed out this week. I really really loath that club...
