Refering to the last entry where I told you that I would find a club to join so I had a place to socialize properly, I did so last Thursday night, thanks to Professor, a friend who never fails to give me good advices and weird words of encouragement/compliment.
I went to a community drama club by Professor's suggestion. Since Professor is an English man and we agreed that I should associate with native English speakers to practice my language skill as much as possible, I knew for a fact that most of the members of the club were probably foreigners. Still, what I didn't know though was that the club meeting place would be a high-standard-looking clubhouse in the middle of Bangkok. For moments there, I felt as if I was Jenny Humphey from Gossip Girl (you can google her, if you'd like). I walked in a room, feeling a bit stiff, but the members greeted me welcomely. That made things better. I applied for a membership and stayed for a group activity. It went quite well. I was kinda nervous to have conversation with strangers, but most of them were really nice and friendly. One of them convinced me to join an audition on Sunday for their up-coming musical performance. I'm not a good singer, but I agreed to go to the audition to meet people and for a laugh.
And it was a big laugh for me indeed. On Sunday, I sang off key, acted nervously and misread my lines. It had been awhile since I had to do something in front of people, so it was kinda awkward there. Plus I didn't concentrate on rehearsing my song and lines enough. I spent most of the audition time chatting up people and making acquaintances. Of course, I wasn't chosen to be in the play, but I told the team that I enjoyed the exerience anyway and would love to help in other areas instead. They like great and said they would assigned me as a Front of House Manager. Haha...right, a manager. I'm not much into titles that imply power and authority, but hey, I did volunteer myself didn't I? Well, I'll just have to do my best to go with it.
After completely digesting the notion that I'm actually going to be the one in charge, I made a random rant to Professor about the new title I accidently landed myself on after only 4 days in the club. He told me about the general duty of Front of House manager and said that they gave me the title probably becasue they saw what he saw in me -- a charming bitch who can get her way. There, let me repeat it again -- "A Charming Bitch Who Can Get Her Way". I got to give him credits there. Such a way to leave an impact in one's mind. Until now, I'm still not sure if I should be glad or mad to receive this compliment. I mean you have to possess some bitchy qualities to be a bad girl. Still, I didn't expect to be called like that by a friend I've known for a long time. Have I been a bitch but never realized it? If that's the case, the mission of turning myself to a bad girl would much easier.
So, yup, one mission accomplished. I got myself a club to join. Now, I have to work on my interpersonal skills with strangers and my Bangkok night life exploration. This is getting more fun as it goes.
