i'm going to blog before sleep consumes me and i lose every thought and memory to fatigue.
my senior prom's come, and gone. today's 9th Dec already. my prom was yesterday.
i'm gonna skip the usual cliches like 'a night to remember' and 'meeting prince charming' coz honestly, this is the 21st century that we're talking about.
yet all the same, it was pretty memorable. i turned up at The Ritz, spending a grand total of 6 dollars for prom. excluding the dinner ticket. so i guess it really goes to show how much effort(or lack of) that went into preparing for one of the 7 major HC events. but anyhow, i really like the dress which i borrowed and somehow, everything fitted really well. right down to the contact lenses that i haven't worn in 1 and a half years. no complains there, coz even the makeup which i experimented with myself actually passed.
i guess the pictures will speak for themselves when they're up. at cocktail bit before the actual dinner and walking into the ballroom itself. i guess it only dawned on me then that JC life was really gonna be over. the dinner can be summarised into many trips to the loo, standing round taking pictures and returning to our seats for a few bites of dinner and getting up again to walk about.
after the prom, us tired ones. trooped back to the hotel room. and deliberated for an hour over whether we should head out and go clubbing. we decided against it so swimaway, suan, mao and i cabbed to Cheers to buy alcohol and food back to the room. and so began a long long game of 'spin the bottle'/'truth or truth'/'truth or dare'. don't we all love that game?
we kinda found out stuff about classmates which we didn't know previously. and of course there will be secrets which people will still hold on to. this was inetrrupted sporadically with threats to burst into the toilet and sabotage whoever who was bathing. since there's only one toilet which comes with a toilet door which has no lock.
we kept this up till around 8 this morning and then i went to sleep for an hour. breakfast followed after.
the dare which junjia set me up to, i tried to fulfill. i'm pretty willing to. just that people didn't quite catch on.
and it was indeed a night of revelations. i found out what GP looked like. jj and swim think i'm really slow. and i realised that mrs ang is not our principal's wife! i don't know but somehow i always thought they were married or something. mao is a really poor drinker. got practically knocked out after a couple of sips and ended up becoming the butt of our jokes. khengwee's our very own 'Bae Yong Joon'.
so without any high expectations, it came and gone. and i must say, i enjoyed myself.

you know the feeling when you just want to stand and scream(in a good way!)
i came back from kboxing today. but to be honest i'm a little sick of it. i just don't derive that much pleasure anymore. but meeting up with people makes me happy.
and i guess grounding myself really did the trick. i didn't go out after meeting junjia, gilyn and gina on monday. but i'm pretty excited now. i mean, there's stuff to do. but the thought of meeting my NJ class tomorrow, my primary schoolmates and hanging out.
and prom's this thursday. so i'm a leetle apprehensive, no. actually i'm more than a little. it's gonna be a bizarre disaster. my dress sweeps the floor! HOW?
and i borrowed HP from yihan. yay! i'm a late convert. but never mind.
and there's project runway tonight! yay more!
