I am now on a company trip in the north, and I managed to meet up with my team member from here.

We relieved our moments together during our trip to Japan, and she brought up the most memorable moment whenever national day performance is mentioned. It was about me who was very highly irritated by a member who was standing behind me during our performance.

We, my contingent, got the stage because it was known that the waves were terrible, and we will be prone to get seasick and yet we proceeded with the practice.

We lived up to the waves for half of us were seasick and some were already puking, and yet, we carried on with the rehearsal.

I was so not in the mood to dance. I just want to get over it so I can go and have fun. But every member was not in the mood too, and worse we danced like sh*t. We were not in rhythm. So off.

And worse of all. What the hell was wrong with him making noise during the performance? I looked at him and he was screaming at me 'what the f*ck u looking at me?!' I was humiliated but I knew I should not. I became so emotional because I was burning with anger, but I cannot shout in response. No matter what, I must be emotionally intelligent.

So in the end, I made a closing speech 'We practiced so hard for 4 days to remember the 75 minutes dance, and we danced like shit tonight. So let's dance like there is no tomorrow, can we?'

They went silent. I was almost in tears because 'this' shit dance could happen on the day we were supposed to perform.

Later I found out they went silent because they did not know how to answer. Can or yes?

And they chose the latter. So that speech became a joke and everyone danced better after that. That guy? He went silent in all rehearsals.

And I found out that my members were happy to have me as their leader. And this made my day.
