So Graduation Night has come and gone.
I still remember the times in sec 1,2 &3 that my friends and I used to be so excited about that special night, ever-wishing that it would be our turn soon. How we would be dreaming about the kinds of dresses we would wear, where the event would be held, so on and so forth.
Strange though, this excitement seemed to have worn off
on the day of grad nite. The only thing that made me jumpy was whether or not I would be late. I reached Swissotel (Merchant Court) at 6.50pm - about 35 minutes late. hA. I missed the cocktail. Anyway, everyone was still running around and many came much much later than I did. Surprisingly, Ying Hui was early!
I felt rather homemade when I saw the way everyone else was dressed. Not that I didn't look nice. Fair enough, I looked nice, I mean the dress did suit me fine. But as far as make-up and hair-dos were concerned, I probably didn't do so well because I just did everything at home. Another surprising thing this year was the way my batch dressed. Unlike the previous batches which wore shiny satin dresses and looked as though they were bridesmaid, majority of my cohort wore something that is much more for parties than anything else. So there! I wasn't the only one who bought something that wasn't satin. I did feel a
leetle inferior to my friends because they seemed much more elegant pretty than I did. Oh well, I'm probably not cut out to be the glamorous type, I guess. And you know what? I think I might prefer that. I just like my shorts and t-shirt!
Prerana won the Miss Crescentian 2005. Good for her! She does put herself forward as a confident young lady, with a good sense of humour yet matured thinking. She has always been, since the time I knew her four years ago.
Mrs Yeo won the Most Fashionable Teacher Award. It's quite funny actually because she's the new discipline mistress. I never imagined that a discipline mistress would ever be able to have such good taste.
I took numerous pictures with my classmates, friends and teachers and before I forget, I took quite a few of the roses on my table too. Halfway through the whole event, I suddenly became very interested in the bowl of 3 roses on the table. I started to snap pictures of them and managed to get some nice ones too. I was sorely tempted to start plucking out all the petals of the roses and photograph the inside just for amusement but I didn't think the waiters wouldn't exactly find it amusing.
I don't really feel anything even though grad nite is over. All I know is that it is -
over!P.S. I seem to be the shortest in every photograph (except when I am with Paula, Namira and Mrs Heng.) -_-
P.S. 2 Halfway through prom, my shoes cut my toe. oUch.
