drink from half of a broken bottle,

Remind me,
these memories seem to fade
as quickly as they come,
It isn't right,
because joy never had a deadline
and happiness never a boundary.

You are broad words on walls
the last city standing in these ruins,
And i am so lost.

Of course, the single word echoing in everybody's mind on thursday at exactly 0900 hours was PROM. Prom, prom, prom. and now the laborious update.

It was peculiar, but amazing, to see everyone around me pretty dazed, silly grins plastered across faces while we shifted the tables(for the last time, good riddance.) The spirit of JOY was infectious, soon everyone was running about, screaming and walking across storey-high stacked chairs. After stacking the last dusty table onto the stack, we were all quickly ushered to the colourful benches downstairs to break out the wine.... or rather a bottle of fine apple sparkling juice! Provided thoughtfully by pei rong. In the words of gabe of cobra starship, pop the cheap champagne!The brief affair of popping the bottle was quite funny. CHEERS TO ALL BIOLOGY GIRLS! MAY WE ALL GET OUR As!!

Went back to take a good three hours snooze before heading to nic's house for prom/mask prep! When me and jas got there, there were dozens of teeny beads scattered all over the floor, and the group working on their masks, foreheads BEADED with sweat. ha. ha. ha.

Yeap so joined em. The whole place was quite a mess when we decided it was time to dress up and gooooo.

and here are our two strapping young 'men'. Emi's bowtie is cute!

and geraldine fretting about her very 'BLUE' situation. Trying on shorts after shorts after shorts!!! Sheesh all the problems start to surface just an hour before leaving...

to celebrate, bought more of the 'artificial' liquor! Although the taste was not to my liking, all in the name of prom!


geraldine's classic look.






This reminds me of nicole's surprise party we had two years back! haha. except we're all grown up and dressed nicely, for a change. So after a debate on whether to scare the heck outta people by taking public transport or going there in cab, it was decided that we arrive in 'style'. Ha!


Turned out to be the first ones there. Got dropped off and saw bryan of WGB smoking outside york, which was quite a put-off. Caught mathea hoveirng around the basement waiting for a gang and headed upstairs.



OOOH and nicole's mom was at the ticket booth helping out. it was funneh. Clarebear and Amanda were there already, constantly hounding the camera guy who gave out free picture cards. they were major coolios!


Nicole looks constipated.


in shoes, tights, and heels we trust.





'pek chek' judy.
WHAT A SURPRISE to see janna decked out in nearly the same colours as me! Unfortunately, i got called 'Janna!' twice that evening, which was an absolute insult! Haha kidding.


Holding XQ's fake hair. Eek it was horrible.

tall people shouldnt wear heels! They make all the short farts look, well, short.
but thanks anyway for bending down to make me feel a whole lot better, you two

Oh another way we passed time was by planning how to get to table number 17, the table 'closest to the food', as emilia said in a matter-of-fact tone.

with the bra models. meeeh.

WELL HELLO RANDI I WILL PRY THAT NOSE STUD OUT OF YOUR SKIN BECAUSE YOU CALLED ME JANNA.

okay i won't because if i do the world will lose one of the most gifted photographers ever and we won't have anyone to take pictures of a hot hot hot Bryan.

The doors FINALLY opened. Dark and smoky. Not very nice. This mad dude with a mask ran about trying to scare us and no doubt, people screamed. I heard Li min went up to him and gave his head a good knock tho. Good on you girl!


After the Emcee came up and did all the yadda-da-da party stuff, we finally got to eat! It was hilarious because we were queueing up for the food and then we saw ms daisy tan on the other side of the table heaping her plate! Clearly she didn't have her eyes wide enough to know that the queue was here, and some girl from another class pointed out quite rudely: 'eh. ms tan, the queue is here lah. don't cheat can!', to which she mumbled an apology and shuffled to the end. Ufufufufu. Everyone deserves a few laughs on their prom night.


I don't know what happened but our table was heaped with plates of deserts before people were done with the first course! Haha. fast eaters, what can i say?

the infamous table 17.


OKAY THE FIRST BAND. i have a whole crapload of things to say. It was bad enough when they started off playing this awful screechy song with bad guitar, bad drums, bad vocals and then the lead said 'And that was 'Starlight' by Muse'. TOTALLY UNRECOGNISABLE. For the lousy performance i can forgive, but DEGRADING TWO AUSSOME PARAMORE SONGS IN A SPACE OF HALF AN HOUR I CANNOT.

If you can't pull of paramore songs, don't even try because you'll just end up embarrasing yourself. Not only are you ruining our prom, you're shaming the face of genuine rock music and genuine rockers with genuine talent. i don't know how you ended up performing at our prom (and being the worst part of it, trust me.) but stop screwing up other people's songs. Me and emi had to escape to the toilet and scream the frustration off.

Even sarah anne was disgusted, and she usually doesn't care! She was like 'OH GOD WHAT THE HELL IS THIS MAN.' very well said, sally.

Enough about secondhand wannabes. Fashion shoe up next where a bunch of people along with Renee and Steph modelled for bodynits! It wasn't as anti-climatic as i expected. Actually it was rather well-received. Caught a picture of stephanie as she strutted her way down the stage!


Next the dancing competition! Only the people who were there can live to tell the magnificant tale of 'Yeung Wing: She Got da' Moves'. Words cannot express what happened, it was a sight to behold.



Yeung wing won, in short. i always knew she would be a fab dancer.

WGB UP NEXT WHOOPDEDOO.
they were what really got the party kicking XD headbanging and what not. the music was so much better than the first 'band' (whose name does not deserve to stick to memory) that we were all hopping about and crap. Lead guitarist has good vocals and bryan was as usual, hot.



Credits to randi. My camera aint all that good.
Oh in the middle of a song, i heard a girl behind me say 'God, i swear i want to lick the sweat of him.' As much as i like bryan, i would NEVER EVER lick sweat off anyone. Especially someone who sweats as much as him. eek.

it was funny hearing that tho.




Dancing started. Some person with stilettos trod on my poor tootsies and i have the scars to show for it. it was like a fully-fledged club, i swear. Who knew Sacians could be such party people? By the time Hope For Monday came out and sang loads of covers we were jostling in front and headbanging like there was no tomorrow.



the girl has a fabulous voice! Some of them came from Joy's and Lizzie's church btw, EAOG.
Oh and this has to be my favourite picture of the night.

MUAHAHAHA.
Clare who went half-insane and started hopping around like a mad person holding up her um... assets.
Nicole: Proof that it really waaas a lesbian partay.



Geraldine in a shawl...? and renee pulling up her dress. the whole night!!!

Yeap so they played hallelujah twice and i can't really remember what happened except that emi and me went positively rabid. And they sounded SO much better than the first band, and the most well-received as well. Did some crazy stuff like a forming a conga line and marching around the room (i think mdm chan grabbed my waist at one point of time and joined in. Whooa.), got up the stage and got crazier. Man what a night. Clare was mad and joy was hilarious. Patricia was innit yo!


Amanda wining the sexiest legs competition. Surprise surprise!

It was around twelve when we finally got into nicole's dad's car and drove off to the temporary home sweet home, albeit a messy one with beads all over the place and what not. Had a little problem with the sparkling juice bottle, none of us could open it(even emilia), it was quite funny.

Went downstairs for a good cold shower before going up to clear stuff. Watched a hell lot of TV and laughed. Geraldine knocked out first, which was surprising because i am the one that usually goes to sleep immediately, followed by sarah ee and judy. Nicole decided to go to comforts of her spcious bed while we were sprawled on her living room floors. So in the end someone screwed up the TV controls and we couldnt watch anymore, and so decided to go to sleep. BUT SARAH ANNE WAS BEING A TOTAL KUTU and not letting us get some shut eye. The fact that gerry woke up and started jostling about didn't help at all... was in a state of breakdown by the time i finally fell asleep at five.



and somehoe this is how we woke up in the morning. i am NEVER sleeping next to SALLY again. Good grief, i got punched multiple times and sat on. It is violating, i tell you.

Went to church till 12+ and went home to sleep for twelve straight hours. I think all of us are currently catching up on all the lost hours of sleeps and afternoon naps lost during O level preps, and it definitely feels good.

I think the fact that we have two whole months of holiday hasn't sunk in yet. But what opportunities these open for us! First off the list is Music Camp 08, some more maad parties and a hell lot of sleepovers. Its finally here, and we deserve it :)

Till next time.
