Prom

I'm sorry that this is such a lagged post, kept procrastinating cause i kinda dread uploading photos, time consuming crap. But okay at least they're up =)

I planned to upload even more! but i really couldn't last through all the trouble hence i had to cut down on photo quantity. haha. Anyhow you can view the full album here:

Prom seems so distant now, and it's kinda hard to recollect the things that had happened or the emotions that i felt. Damn, i should have at least blogged down the literature part before i started bothering with the photos. So here's it in disjointed form.

In a nutshell, i really enjoyed prom. It was fun and memorable, and quite an experience, being the first promenade i ever had. I mean, how often do you get a chance to dress up so nice and glam? lol. It's like for awhile you get to experience the high life of the upperclass societies and socialites, okay actually quite far from it, but i think that's the closest i can get, haha.

When i first stepped into Ritz Calton, i felt quite weird, like man don't really know what to do/how to act and all, and everyone's like checking out how other people look. Just feels quite uneasy. For some time me and a few of my friends just went to hide in some corner or even the toilet to escape the strange conditions and "unfamiliar people" outside. Actually not just a few of us, there were quite alot of us. haha. Sort of got better as i stopped being so conscious about the surroundings.

As expected, everyone looked so different that night, esp the girls, like gosh i really had trouble recognising people. When i first stepped into the ballroom at about 430 there was this girl waving at me as she walked past. I didnt know who she was until she told me, which she had to because i was giving her screwedup look haha, it was gloria. Wenqi and shimin also looked really different. All the girls looked different lar most of the time im like huh these ppl from hc meh. Guys look more or less the same lol. We don't fluctuate that much, and hence are the more stable and reliable sex. ahah. kidding

Alot of guys spent big bucks to style their hair, at a hair salon recommended by David the great. haha. The resulting hair styles were so awesome that they didnt feel worthy enough to have them, hence they had to turn to classmates to help them restyle their hairs. Chuan yuan did up delin's hair, while i did up timothy and zongyi's one. Tim's one was nice, but zongyi's one was just, nothing done haha. All the money for a hairstyle that you sport to school everyday. What a good use of money dude! haha. But you looked fine lar dont worry. How much worse can you get

The people from Broadband had to go early to prepare for our performance, so we were there abt 430. We were the first group of performers up on stage, so it was kinda stressful, but also kinda good cause performance wise there were no benchmarks set yet. Anyhow our performance was... pretty bad.haha. I felt that our rehearsals were better, maybe it's cos we were pretty nervous. Our repertoire - The Scientist, 爱我别走，温柔 in this order, sung by me, andy and yingying respectively. I sung okay for the first verse, constipated for 1st chorus, zaoxia for 2nd verse and okay for 2nd chorus. The howling part was a struggle haha. Kimberle did fantastic! u kept calm and maintained rhythm. I'm sorry that i was afraid of you screwing up under stress. Yingying sang very well! A pity that she couldn't really be heard. The guitars sounded gd. Drums abit out but was okay. I played like crap and couldn't be heard. haha. no-confidence-syndrome.

Anyway, in reply to huiwen's sms, i really enjoyed playing and practicing with you guys, david nicholas huiwen andy yingying kimberle. Most of the time we were like crap but its okay im sure it was all worth for the experience and bonding. I had fun and i hope y'all did too =)

All the practicing and psyching up for the performance really took away time and spirit for me to think about other stuff. I kinda overlooked the social aspect of prom. Regret not really doing much, Went in without a plan, or a rough idea of things to do. Could have bought some flowers, or say things that could make ppl feel happy or special for that night. Everyone likes to feel special. After all many have pumped in alot of effort and money to look gd. A mere few words could have made substantial difference in brightening up someone's day. Failed. Didn't really engage in conversations too, but the conditions didnt really allow for it either, everyone was just busy taking photos, so i guess it was alright just go on snapping photos as though there was never a max storage capacity or battery life.

The food was pathetic for the price, 85 bucks for meagre portions of food with questionable taste and eatability. K it wasn't that bad, but there are better options for that kinda price. I liked the cool UV stamps they put on our hand though, it was awesome.

Prom felt really short, like its all over in a flash. So fast i was left bewildered like huh that's it? I was kinda expecting more from prom, but maybe id have to put in more to gain that more. Or maybe prom is just like that! lol. Maybe i should have done something exciting like taking photos with random people haha. Either way, i wished it were longer. I didnt really take much photos too, my camera battery died halfway, so sad.

Didnt go for post-prom. Our class instead booked hotel 81, due to lack of availability from other hotels haha. Quite funny to see the reactions that ppl give when we tell them that we're going to hotel 81. They're just like shocked. haha. Wouldn't recommend people to go there unless they're there for quickie rendezvous, cos they've got some stupid rule that disallows more den 2 ppl in the room at any one time after 1130pm lol. We had to spend the night out at some deserted cafe, which was kinda fun too, talking crap until about 6 plus 7 am. We then went to send limin and fukan off.

Byee Limin and Fukan! I really enjoyed knowing the two of you. You two are just such nice people haha. It was a pleasure to be in the same class as y'all. Will miss you all man, esp limin, haha, all the times of basketball and lan bonding lol. It's sad that u two have to leave. Thanks for the smses y'all sent too, the consolations when i was posted out of hc, and for those small enquiries about where i am when i disappear from class. All the best for your future endeavours! =)

So that was it, le grande finale, the last time the we would all congregate as batchmates and schoolmates this year. The last time i'd walk around and see all these familiar faces, my good friends, my classmates, my random friends. I don't wish to go emo now, so that's it. Time flies.
