Laveen and dancing

Yes, the incident last Tuesday!
Our college had a charity event organized by the June09 intake.
We were suppose to be "involved", hence we were to wash cars on Tuesday
Although it was so ridiculous, as we had class the whole Tuesday, from 9 till 7 , we still put our names down.
We received a text that night saying that our service were no longer needed as they had enough volunteers.
Hence, we just went to college without a spare change of clothes.
During physics class, Mr Jaya came in to ask what time our class was gonna end, he wanted us to be around for their event in the cafeteria. We could not.
After physics and bio class, we had a 15 minute break before math, so we went to the cafe to see what was going on.
We sat down, i wanted to eat, then suddenly Mr.Jefri came up to our table.

Mr. J: " Anton, go, for charity!"
Me:" huh?"
Mr. J: " go la , go up, so charity ma"

(turns up there were ppl on stage. They were show casing their talents like singing, dancing etc.)

Me:" huh! what you want me to do?"
Mr.J:" go up there and sing"
Me:" No way, Why of all ppl u ask me ? ask Chien Wen la(coz he was sitting beside me )
Mr. J:" you both go up la "
Me:" No, I don't want la. (when will I go up on stage in front of strangers)
Mr. J:" If you go up, I'll donate RM 50 to charity"
Me: " ya right"
Mr. J:" I'm serious, I have the money now" (takes out his wallet and shows me)
Me:" but why u want me to go?"
Mr. J: " I don't know , I'll leave it to you, it's your decision"

*he then leaves me there feeling like crap if I don't do it, coz he openly mentioned in front of my friends that he'll donate 50 to charity

I just sat there ( there were ppl performing on stage), couldn't eat anymore la of course, never in a million years will I do this la, I was so scared edi.

Convinced by others on how important it is to charity, I was going to walk up so Mr. Jefri to make sure about the 50 and all

Half way, Mr. Jaya came up to me and said:" Anton, I heard you can sing. So I'll give your name to the MC ok, so you better prepare a song, you're next."
My only response was:"Huh!"
I was dumb struck, didn't say anything and went to sit back down.
I was obviously in shock and pale then.
Thank God it was time for Math already , so we were about to leave for class.
Then suddenly the MC called my name.
He said something like : " Mr. Jaya informed me that there is a student here named Anton who can sing. (something like that la, I blurred out so I'm not too sure)
My whole table started cheering and the MC came over.
I was blushing already while the others were clapping so he came up to me
:"I assume you are Anton. so what are you gonna sing for us"

I had to pull someone down with me, so I said: "Laveen can dance, He'll dance for u"
MC:" your friend will dance after you sing"
Some one said :" Mr. Jefri said he will give 50 bucks if he sings"
MC:" oh really! Who?"
we pointed then he went up to Mr. J.
MC:" ok, he said he will donate 50."

So I sang, I was shaking the whole time and my right leg literally shaking so much,like fits.
After I sang , insisted Laveen went up to dance.
And he did, half way someone from the audience came up and joined him. So he danced for quite long. Seriously Laveen you rock la ! I would never have done that. Hats off!

I took a video half way through so here it is. sorry I was a bit shaky.
Enjoy! I bet you all wanna see it .

super sporting lo!

Yes, I'm still embarrassed.
neither Mr Jaya or Mr Jefri teaches me. And I never sang in front of my friends before. Only once in Karaoke but that was just plain shouting.

SO WHO IN THE WORLD GAVE THEM THE IDEA ASSUMING I COULD SING???
