Wei Ren Speaking,
Yesturday was Prom Night, and it was...it was... well if one
sentence is enough to sum up the whole night, then let this
whole post be the "one sentence".
I got my haircut in the afternoon with my talented hairstylist, Frennie, at Team Salon. So co-incidentally after that, I met up with mdm mdm(Junie) and mdm mdm 2(Ling Yan). And the two ladies praised my sleeves! Indeed i have quite a good taste in fashion. Then we went on ranting about the "Happy Feet" outing with cai cai(Wei Wen a.k.a. WeiWenism,-copied from someone). Lolz. And also regarding tomorrow's cycling trip at east coast park. Apparently, they were waiting for mdm mdm 3(Shi Min). She's a beauty!:>
Once my watch striked six, I was all ready at the pickup point outside of Yamaha where I met up with Sin Chyuan first and then picked up by Shu Xian's Father. Emma's in the car too. Sin Chyuan is All-White while i'm All-Black. Shu Xian donned a beautiful dress who suits her just right. And that goes the same for Emma. Just that Shu Xian was in black, and the latter... Well, was similar to Natalin, was in gold. Emma even wore the pearl bracelet i bought for her as birthday gift. And she complaint its too big for her. Well everything, is always too big for her. Nothing is small. Well, perhaps the diamond necklace she wore was an exception.
We arrived punctually. Paid my ticket at the reception, signed the guestbook and got a stamp ink from Alicia on my hand.
Once we entered the lobby of the Tudor Ballroom, we were welcomed by a very distinguished early bird guest, Muzzaffar, who donned a creepy halloween costume with a long plastic sword. Well to me it looks like Aragorn's sword. He wore a mesh so much so that newly arrived guests had a hard time guessing who is the young man behind the cloth. However, I have no problems with that as his voice's still the same no matter what he wears.
I hanged around with other guests, upon the commencing of the function. Waited for an hour before we could take a seat in the ballroom. As more guests arrived, the place got more vibrant with colours and style.
Here's some gentleman- There's Clifton in pink, who also have a striking and glitterish hairdo. There's Jeremy in red, add on with a scarf or something which did not fail to get girls calling him cute. Next is Martin(Teh Annan). With red stripe sleeves covered with a black sweater and added on with a colourful snowcap. Nevertheless, his earrings on both sides. There's Roy, with his typical Boy-Next-Door fashion. There's Brian who wore like a President. Well, he was one. There's Joshua. Man, his bowtie makes all the difference! There's Desmond Lim- Mean Street Gangbangers Style. Man, no joke with him. There's Mr. Linggaputra. Surely a putra(prince) indeed, with a gentleman attire. There's Mr Formality- Jacky, high end penguin suit up till his collar. There's De Wei, whose attire is similar to those PAP members(according to Qi Xian). There's Steven, a major red suit. Very unique. Oh yes, Sheamson, not to forget. One of the latest to arrive, who had never failed to put up a pleasant surprise yet again. These are just a few to name with. For those whose name ain't here, I'm really sorry if I did not comment about you.
Up next is the ladies- There's Shirley with a very beautiful dress, with goes just right with her make up. There's Wileen with a classical black dress topped with a pretty scarf. There's Alicia with a hot red dress, with glittery eyes- Awesome. There's another Alicia who's sleak in black. There's the beautiful Indian dancers- Paveena, Shamini and Aditi. They brings tradition right into the ballroom. There's Loke Yan. She's one who distinguished among the others, with her unique cerulean dress -Kudos to you! There's Maszuindah. Dressed like what she performed on Teacher's Day, as Ms Rice. Great political fashion we have there. There's Julina with her great killer suit once again. There's Li Wen in her Dorothy Perkins'. There's Yi Wen, Pearlyn, Amanda, Sabrina, Zureena who dressed very well to portray their individual personality. There's Mei Wen, who looks like Brad Pitt(according to Muhammad). There's Ruth, bright in orange! There's Boon Tip, with a great dress. There's Yi Wei, Karen, Ying Lin and Jia Wen. Well i really like their hairdo. There's Caleen, who had a sophisicated dress and hairdo. There's Felicity who could have dressed no better to bring out her exotic look. There's Amanda who had all the gentleman(including me :p) giving her a second look. There's Hui Ling, who dressed in elegance. Lastly there's Natalin. Dressed in gold and had a really really really B-E-A-U-tiful hairdo. How rejuvenating it was, bringing the fashion scene there to a new level -Splendid. I hope i mentioned all the girls.
Nevertheless, my great pals. There's Don who donned a pleasant attire. More than an average Joe he is. There's Andre, the reigning prom king. Hail to the king! Wore a nice striped sleeves, coupled with the reigning prom queen, Jelisa, who dressed just as sweet by any other name. There's Yuan Wei, cool looking, with his cute small little eyes. There's Jia Hong. Suave-looking, who dressed to bring out the mass in him.
So basically, these are the guests who were presently.
The night commenced with the beginning of Paveena's speech. She is the Chairperson of the 2006 Prom Committee. Sitting in the same table with me were Roy, Wileen, Shirley, Emma, Shu Xian and Sin Chyuan.It was quite unfortunate for Emma, who could not spend most of her time with her date, as he was the emcee for the night.
Food was ready to serve. I indulged in my favourite japanese dish- i forgotten the name but its just those red baby octopus sprinkle with sesame seed. The prawns were delicious, so as was the cream puffs.
Soon after, games were being played. I'm afraid I won't say much about it as people have been complaining about their eyes getting hurt after staring at my posts for an hour, trying to read till the last word.
After which, was the determination of the new reign of Prom Royale. Brian, a potential Prom King, unfortunately couldn't stay long enough for the evening to get qualified for it. But honestly, he has great potential to be one, especially with Ruth as the Prom Queen, which ultimately she is.After rounds of elimination, the crowns and flowers went to Ruth and Roanny. Double R. What's more, both are from 4EB. Whereas the previous royale, Andrea and Jelisa, who presented the crown and garland, were from 4EA. So next year, bet that they'll come from 4EC yea? Hmmm...who's in 4EC next year...Esther, Iris, Sarah, Erwani... and so forth. Go for it girls!
Once the crowns met their respective owners, the real deal begins... Everyone hit the dance floor! Well except a few photographers such as Andree and Clifton. All kinds of move and step appeared as the atmosphere went sky-high while the DJ did his job. Man, I was pleasantly surprised to discover the undiscovered talent that many of peers have until then.
Alright, enough of sweating it out. Blazers' all wet, sleeves were unbuttoned, make-up for the girls smudged, hair being let down- It was the end of the night... And also, the beginning of morning( well its after midnight)...
A group of us- Ade, Sin Chyuan, Roy, Desmond(both), Xi Yang, Alvin, Jun Hao, Jia Jin( yes...although he didn't turn up for prom), Joshua, Douglas, Muzzafar, Leslie, Ri Chang, Jacky, Maszuindah, Boontip, Natalin, Caleen, and I, went to catch a movie- Happy Feet. (Yep, the one which ad poster has a baby penguin standing on a leg).
It was a great movie. One of the best animated film I had watched. Great graphic, great storyline, great humour, great entertainment. Five stars for you! Bravo.
The movie ended at 3.20A.M. Yeah...Late huh? Well after that, most of us went to Swensen's @ Crown Prince Hotel. Well Roy and I shared a Topless 5...ladies!(giggling). Nah, it's just 5 scoop of ice-cream without any add-on onto it.
After that, we planned to take the first bus home. However, a few sleepy eyes just can't wait to hail some cars which flashed yellow lights on top of it, and off they go. So in the end, only 8 person was left. So we strolled our way to a bustop Bras Basah Road. We waited for an hour or so, till bus 16 arrived at 6.00A.M. The sky became lighter as the bus brought us home.
Reached home at 6.30A.M.(the bus was fast!). Exactly 12 hours from the time I reached Goodwood Park Hotel at 6.30P.M. Upon reaching home, heard some nagging from my grandpa, took a shower and off to bed.
A Night(and Morning) To Remember...
