PROM/ SDD'06- HOLLYWOOD

and so i just came back from my first ever prom night (cause vs didn't have one; even till now) and i must say i wasn't exactly pleased with it? hmmm. it was alright lahx; possibly because i don't have any other prom nights to compare to- well that's my rationale. it was so-so if you ask me. hmmm so here's wat happened-

went to ritz-carlton at round 6.20pm and the moment i stepped out of the cab i realised that my right sole was dropping off- it must have been due to the rough handling the day before cause the shoe was a lil' uncomfortable; it was new by the way. so i sorta freaked out a lil' and i was more anxious to find people i know outside the ballroom rather than worry bout my shoe. so i walked down the stairs and i guess people were sorta talking about me, i dunno bout wat but i sorta guessed that i was wearing cream/ white suit and everybody else were like wearing black. haha. but back to the sole. left my stuff at the table with difei to look after and then rushed up to the main entrance where a lovely staff member came and helped me with the directions to the nearest cobbler. so i made my way to the cobbler in millenia walk and guess wat- my sole came off right there in harvey norman! gosh. lucky no one behind me if not it'll be damn malu lahx! wahaha. so to prevent any more malu-ness, i hid my sole in my blazer and walked to the cobbler there. and then guess wat- the cobbler told me he can't mend my shoe! like WTH! "c'mon man, the boy here needs to go for a function and you won't even help me this one bit..." but yea, but he was nice and directed me to suntec where i finally fixed my shoe and it was all good. rushed back to the hotel and i wasn't late. in fact the entire event started late. haha. everybody was just outside the ballroom photo-whoring and trying to get over their beauty while others just look on with envy. haha.

yeah. it started like an hour late i guess cause cousin told me so. and by the time it started it was like 8pm? don't really know. i sat at the table right in front of the emergency exit so in case there was a fire, i'd be one of the first to live. wahahha. no meaning, but soon the event started and i recall quite vividly the excitement i felt cause it's my first prom night? then when the emcee went on stage, he was like omg. GET HIM OFF THE STAGE MAN! irritatingly funny in the not funny way. yea that's that. haha. but it's true lahx, even some of my classmates said at some points his tone's not that right for the occasion. haha.

and then the night started with a salsa dance by some external people who were fantastic. then they brought out the pageants and they walked down the runway- alright but some looked clumsily funny. haha. then walk somemore, then errr. okay lohx. dinner started which was so minimal (in total) that i suppose the amount given to us can't even feed a kid. yea- that bad. haha. but quality wise- it was good. haha. then the pageants started dancing the waltz. no meaning, but it was boring watching them spin here and there with not much energy and variation. haha. so-so.

eat some more, then was feeling bored already so went to look for the choir girls, which i then told them to go find all year twos and we meet outside to take some photos lahx which we obviously did. totally 3 photographers came to take photos for us and hey, they didn't even take photos with all our cameras. gah. then we started singing songs at another place which definitely brought back memories- in italy, in sov, in choir. sang some chirstmas songs which already made heads and ears turned to us, and with ad dominum and shower to end it all, it simply brought back memories. haha. fantastic. really looking forward to seeing you guys at carolling! hahah .

went back in, four toads came out and immediately i left. sickening. socialised a bit then went back when i saw jasmine tye walk in. haha. so i was kinda visibly surprised lahx, but nevertheless didn't really thing bout entry.hah

daniel band rox. have been a fan of them since day one, truly a band that we year twos can be proud of. performance was good just that keyboard ain't loud enough to match up the lead and bass. and after taht, jasmine came out and sung foolish games which to me were good. haha. so it was quite a surprise lahx i suppose. then she started giving out some prizes liek the prom queen and king sorta thing and gah- was alright only lahx. haha.

but i must say that the prizes up for grabs were damn good- trip to perth, cruise trip, iPod nano, creative merchandise, nike ball. yea. haha. good stuff.man. gah. but didn't win anything. my number was 0400, which is really too nice a number to win any lucky draw. haha. dun bother.

and then it ended at around 12.15am with some really loud music which kinda blew my ears away and then some people were dancing on the dance floor while others streamed out. ahah. a massive pack of people outside as compared to the ballroom. hah. so obviously finding people will be difficult right? haha. it sure was. gah. took quite some time to get everybody ready and go out partying!

we didn't go post-prom party at DXO, some of us don't have the cash, some don't wanna drink and i personally... DON'T MIND. haha. yea. but in the end, we ended up walking to clarke quay where we ate at satay club. it was at this club that cam sang with the guitarist *clap hands lah* hahha. was sorta invited up on stage to sing a few pieces which he did. haha. and then shortly after that at around 3am, we went to macs at liang court. chilled out there and basically juxt talked and boozing around. haha. since the food at the hotel wasn't filling, we ate somemore loh! haha. lou then bought some bacardi's rum from 7-11 and then only karfu, herself and i took shots each. haha. was alright lahx. raw shots that is- okay lahx, but damn it dries the throat. so we hung around there for about 2hours and left only at around 5am. ahahah.

walked down the pavement when we finally decided to climb up to the top of fort canning park which we eventually did and went down to the plaza singapura side. took us around 45mins ba and then we took a train where some of us went home and the rest just sat at the gates deciding wat to do. well i'm supposed to be sleeping cause they're supposed to meet at 2pm online to discuss of a possible mahjong session at cam's place. haha. hmmm. so i think i should try to get a shut-eye soon.

to my dear S43: i'll upload the photos soon ya? not as yet... not as yet...

in conclusion,
consider the fault to be mine
i've given up
and i will move on.

you still have not known
and you will never know
the things concealed from you
the past i give up

make your move competitor
i don't give a bull anymore
she ain't no commodity
and all i ask of you is...

to take care of her well.
