~ prom~
Prom. The awaited event of the year. Only for some people. Please exclude me for I hate the hustle and bustle during preparations. I hate making shop keepers happy because they gain more money and I lose it to them. I buy so much of their things and yet, they dare give me a spoilt good! My golden bag from Subway had zip crisis at the very last minute which forces me to use another bag.
Looking on the brighter side, at least this bag was bigger than the chosen bag for prom.
After weeks of shopping, discussing certain aspects with Karie and Yee Teng, the day finally arrived. Yesterday was the most purposeless day in the world because I spent the whole day grooming and preparing myself for an event. I do not spend the whole day doing something unbeneficial such as making myself look "nice" and "presentable".
All my efforts put into this is just to waste 5 hours of my life with unprofessional make up, an expensive dress, shaved legs, nicely done hair, heavy gold earrings, so-wrong-bag, shoes which only fitted my left feet properly (I had to stuff cotton wool into the right shoe), and last but not least wearing glasses occasionally just in case I do not bang into someone, which of course, I shall proudly admit, I DID. Poor waiter.
For the first time in my life I did the following yesterday:
1) Attended prom
2) Did my own make up
3) Went to the hairdresser to get my hair done
4) Met some people I know in a hairdresser (Sue Zan, Gillian and Michelle)
5) See Karie wear a dress
6) Talked to Belle’s mum which I totally enjoyed for she was talking in Cantonese to me and I was replying back in English most of the time
7) See Belle’s house and dad
8) See Kevin’s girlfriend, Yvonne
9) See my lecturers dancing
10) See Jie Yao strumming the guitar
11) I did not bring a camera for an ‘important’ event
12) Been to Prince Hotel
13) See Pavillion
14) See people wearing dresses and tux and curl hair and make up and glassless and with a partner
15) See and smell people smoking in a hotel!
16) I think that is about it
Overall, I think I will have to say that this is a new experience for me – something different than my ordinary schedule. Thanks Fiona Wan for accompanying me with messages and sorry that I could not reply due to the shortage of energy in my phone battery.
Pictures will be uploaded later cuz the blog people seem to be having some errors. WHY LA AT THIS TIME WHEN I AM SO FREE TO UPLOAD PICS?!
