elephants have bigger brains than men

5/12/06

We had our prom yesterday, so that meant our two years in college have officially been brought to closure. ): Talked bout it briefly with the girls, and wondered aloud if we'll still be as closely knitted, if we'll still get together for happy group outings/ shopping dates, if we'll still be as at ease in each others' company as we are now. Out of sight, out of mind? I hope not.

Though this seemingly short chapter of my life ended in an extremely unexpected manner, it was a beaaautiful night nonetheless, with a gazillion pretty girls all made up, some went in cool retro outfits (There were some who brought retro shades to complete the look, how cool is that! VIC HAD VAVAVOOM BIG HOT HAIR AND LOOKED LOVELY IN HER GREEN DRESS, LIZ HAD VERY PRETTY MAKEUP&TAI-TAI-HAIR AND A HOT DRESS, STEPH AND JAN LOOKED VERY ELEGANT IN SILVER DRESSES, AND STEPH'S NOVO SHOES WERE INCREDIBLY SEXY! CALI LOOKED GREAT;NOT AT ALL LIKE A TREETRUNK AND EVEN HAD FUNKY STREAKS IN HER HAIR TO BOOT :) ), others went in flowy feminine dresses, while the guys all looked incredibly smart in blazers. The baggy SA uni covers up all these (sizzlewizzle!)hotbods! Anyhow, the whole of yesterday equated to lots of virgin experiences. Went for a complimentary body scrub + massage in the day, that was omg almost orgasmic please :)))) cause I was aching so badly that walking up/down stairs was SUCH A CHORE! After spa-ing, proceeded to caking on all the ew-y makeup (I insisted on nothing on my lips despite the mother's nagging) and bunning of hair.(My hair was so stiff thanks to evil hairspray, every strand would stay in place in the strongest of winds)

And then, we got stuck in a jam that made daddy curse & swear, and the non-stop incoming calls caused a mild panic attack. Ha ha omg, actually it was all quite amusing. To make things worse, we overshot Maritus Mandarin so that meant having to walk from Cine, tottering on high peep-toe heels with my fat toes threatening to burst out from the front, and carrying an unglam-ly huge paper bag filled to the brim with post-prom stuff. HA HA. So of course I was late, and poor Reg and Xinle had to wait for me for so long. :/

Anyhow, Tiff (thankfully I had her with me), June, Vanessa (i think), Priscilla and I were paired up with five other boys. They all looked amazing, especially the girls! I felt SO FLAT&FAT next to them (they were a lot more deserving!) and we were commenting how we made a very colourful bunch, ha ha. The Q&A and skit got us terribly nervous and I wanted to run away halfway through the skit cause it was too embarrassing! Ha ha ha. And of course the dance with Andy was equally embarrassing cause Mich & retro dances don't go well, so we just wiggled and jiggled awkwardly and laughed at ourselves. LOL. All the Andy-fans probably wanted to kill me so thankfully it ended rather quickly. :) Also decided that I can't do pageants and all the jazz, so said no to the seniors. Decided too that since Andy wouldn't be in Singapore and I wasn't very keen, we'd give Project Glambassador 06 a miss. I hope they got the others to rep SA :/

POST PROM WAS FUNFUNFUN though it was really stuffy/crowded and I had to keep checking if the hands on me belonged to Vic/Reg/Liz. LOL. The company was great of course, with very nice juniors being our bodyguards, ha ha. Left Attica when it closed, and decided to head back to the hotel, where we talked till we dozed off in borrowed blazers (Vic, please thank your nice friends for us!) Woke up with a stiff neck and hair that was still hard (!), and finally took a long bus ride back HOME:)

Only bad thing bout yesterday was that all our camera batteries died on us ): But that aside, it was a grrreat night ;) Pics another day!
