ok so now that the prom post is out of the way, went to escape theme park today with the little cousins. actually woke up quite fresh and ready to go at like 8 (so that'd be abt 4.5 hours of sleep). but it didn't last. and omg was i dying by like 3. firstly, we were fed a mountainous pile of food (i always thought you eat after riding, to prevent the throwing up on some poor kid in front of you thing). secondly, the ridiculous heat was causing us to practically melt away. thirdly, which is directly related to the lack of sleep and the large amount of food consumed, half the rides there gave us headaches or stomachaches, which led to the funniest line my bro said the whole day "dammit we are too old for this shit." HAHA. they took away like 3 rides and had sucky replacements meant for small kids so we pretty much had very little to do. guess the best part was the go karts, though i think we scared the crap out of our cousins. but they're fine. so yeah that was pretty much it. got home and realised that our exposed skin became 3 to 4 shades darker than when we started out. my limbs will look like those charts in skin whitening ads for christmas. just what i needed, whopee.

anyway on a more positive note, am meeting with the class ppl (though the actual make up of the grp is still unknown) later on for bong's sending off. i'm sure we'll keep in contact, like last year we had a whole lot of emails flying back and forth. so yeah it isn't that bad i guess. plus she did say she may end up studying here so i'd like to think of it as a temporary thing. speaking of ppl going away, i'll be going to malaysia from the 10th to the 14th for some much needed retail therapy, oh and maybe some visiting. haha. am kinda envious of ppl flying all over the world while i'll be riding a bus but this trip has it's own objectives, and there are much bigger things to focus on aft that. like christmas! brandon and i were singing aloud to christmas carols as they were being played throughout the theme park today, totally ignoring the weird stares from the nasi lemak stall ppl we walked past. on the lourdes side we've all agreed to make an effort to make this year's celebrations more exciting. but i'll bet our annual charades competition will be one of the highlights, as usual. omg the amount of tension and hatred we end up having towards each other after it is damn funny. haha. but it's for the moment, then after that we get presents and we're all happy. haha.

am still suffering from the after effects of prom. esp the aching calves from walking for bout half an hour in wedges. haha.

ok from the beginning, went to the hair dresser in the hope of getting my hair done, but there were a ridiculous number of prom going ppl getting their hair done too (though i don't know where they're from). so in the end did what i usually do with my hair, aka the clip-the-front-bit-and-let-the-back-down thing. took the mrt there, which didn't suck as bad as i thought it would. when i got there got to see everyone and their pre-prom excitement, all the "omg you look so good!", "aiyoh i couldn't recognise you!", and the ever popular "i wanna take a photo with you!!!"

then we were rushed into the ballroom, where we ended up switching tables halfway thru the programme. not complaining, we went from a table of 13 with 8 guys to a table of 8 with 1. so... more food! haha. the programme was quite entertaining, esp the limbo comp. damn those ppl can bend. haha. oh oh and the highlight of prom itself... GAN JIT SHENG IS PROM KING!!! haha. we were all so proud of him. haha.

aft prom i followed the class as we trekked to seemingly nowhere in particular. and as much as my legs were killing me by the time we reached our destination, i couldn't help but think to myself that half the fun was getting there. so yeah ended up at some part of clarke quay with blasting chinese music. pau and i looked at each other and were like "okaaayyy..." haha. but went there anyway so decided to brush up on our madarin (this coming from the girl who sucks at most things chinese-related despite having a grandma from hong kong).

then joy of joys there was english music so a couple of us went ahead and started dancing. i can honestly say i'd never expect to end up dancing with some of our class guys but there we all were, jumping up and down and singing along to the words like absolute madpeople. ok so it didn't really compare to a typical lourdes function or rmun 07 (so far the best no-parents-around dance party) but it was still fun nonetheless. and like i said, the sheer unexpectedness of it all added to it. was kinda bummed to have to leave (had like a gazillion missed calls and msgs from home) but eventually did. so got home, got scolded by the folks (i am so used to shutting stuff like this out anyways), had my bath, complained bout aching feet, then went to bed, at 3.30am. new record for non-family outing. haha.

what struck me the most bout our little s05 adventure was that we were for the first time in a long time properly hanging out. like freely interacting with each other and not awkwardly being in the other gender group's presence like before. i mean we even ended up dancing in our little circle singing along to "i got a feeling", which glen so does not know how to. haha. so yeah it was nice. hoping the niceness lasts, granted prom was technically the last time we'd see each other til results. but i'm sure there'll be stuff in between.
