Velvet 2006

Spontaneous combustion!

Bah, ~~prom~~ dinner and dance didn’t really meet up to my expectations, but I suppose it was because I probably had too high expectations. Anyway, as much as the food sucked and the games were lame, I guess we should be appreciative of the fact that people did put in effort to organise this event for us and they spent a lot of time planning and etc to make things run as smoothly as possible. The event pictures are on cosiety by the way.

Woke up really late in the day and spent most of the afternoon getting ready. I had to iron my clothes, polish and sun the shoes and a lot of other stuff I’m too lazy to list right now. I even U-Zapped different parts of my body, though it clearly didnt help much. I made sure the air conditioning was switched on the whole day because I just know I will start sweating once I don the clothes for prom. Aaron and I cab-ed down to Darren’s house to get a lift from his dad and even though we arrived just on time, we still had to wait for a while before we were allowed to go into the Vista room. By than i was starving because I only had brunch earlier in the day.

This was the first course.

Dinner was a huge downer, the food sounded good on the menu and it may look good too, but it tasted bad. I guess those that tasted remotely nice were the dessert(diabetically sweet mango pudding), the first course, the fish, the soup, the shrimps in one of the dishes and the mushroom in the vegetable dish. Actually now that I think about it, the only horrible foods were the super dry chicken, the weird yam thing, the rice and the vegetable. The waiters working at the Hilton seem to have this aversion to Sprite. They refilled every other drink except sprite so YY and I had to keep asking them to help refill our water goblets. And as annoying as it may have been for others, I think the Yam Seng or however you spell it my class did was fun! So ~~screw you~~ too bad if you think someones getting married or whatever.

The goody bag was definitely a huge disappointment. Honestly, I didn’t really know what to expect but what we got was definitely quite lousy. I mean a notebook, M&Ms, some weird book light thingy, a CD with photos from our Flickr, a gold ink pen, tissue paper and an envelope with a piece of paper in it. Maybe it would have been better if everyone paid the extra money for the thumb drive. At least there would be something good in the goody bag.

Who has the widest wrist? (The winner was ben)

I would have rather the organisers spend less time going about with the weird games and giving more time for us to take photos. However, I guess the most interesting game for my table would have to be the one where we write our confessions to our friends in a sealed envelope that was found in the goody bag. Hee hee, let’s just say we got creative with the letters.

Apparently, we were supposed to dance after dinner, but I assume that since we ended so late, everybody was more concerned with taking photos. Maybe if we had ended earlier, we would be able to dance or something. I know I wanted to maybe dance a bit, but taking photos was more important. Hell, I didn’t even have enough time to take photos with everybody and its quite depressing okay! Haha, wish I managed to take photos with more people, but oh well, the nights over.

At least I won a box of Ferrero Rocher for having the biggest mouth. I wish I won the Ipod Nano in the lucky draw though, haha, but everyone else probably wished they won that prize too.

I’m so proud of the Brownians! Personally, I thought that the performances were great with an exception of one group. I loved Sandra and Leanne’s duet and I think Brownians did a good job with the last song. The Remedy wasn't bad, its just that I've listened to it so many times that I've gotten quite sick of it. The V14 band would probably have been good if the drum wasn’t so loud and I could actually hear them sing. Haha, but I think it was quite cute seeing Wilbur up on stage singing with this piece of paper with the lyrics on it.

The Finalists!

Together with the Prom King.

Oh and congrats to the prom king and queen, Nazri and Shakura. It was pretty obvious who would win when the finalist were announced. Although there were the strangest results ever for the finalists, like Jomaine and Zong He instead of Benjamin and Jomaine or Clara and Zong He, and also Jovena and Darren instead of Jovena and Wenshu. I guess the night managed to start and end with a high note, with all the cam whoring of course! I just wish that the teachers’ message to us was in the CD and also the video Leon made for Mr. Koh, instead of another photo slideshow. Oh well, maybe I can get it from one of the juniors.
