And so it was yesterday.
Prom Night.
Contrary to my own expectations, I didn't cry...but it was all so surreal, dancing the family dance for the very last time, singing that school song for the very last time...yet I was too numb to cry.
Or maybe it's also because I know that I'll see my friends and classmates once again, when we collect our 'O' level results.
I'll miss our days as Loyalty. I'll miss my 4 years in this school. Because despite the fact that I had quite a few less than pleasant experiences, ultimately I gained friends...gained experience...gained knowledge. And on the whole, it was a fun-filled, exciting 4 years.
All has been said and done
Goodbye, St Nicks...
Where fate will lead me next, I don't know.
Everyone (well, almost everyone) looked really lovely yesterday. Some were nearly unrecognisable (in a good way). Seeing everyone, even the most tomboyish, in gowns/dresses/skirts...as I said just now, surreal. All these years I've never seen most of them in anything but their pinafores, and now...:)
But some ppl overdid their makeup. An article in Sunday Life! once said that girls our age tend to look like 1/a bride 2. a getai singer 3. a clown or 4. a combination of all 3 on their prom nites. There's another to add to the list: a hooker.
Someone(I shall not name who, see if u can guess) looked exactly that, among the few 'brides' and 'getai singers' I spotted who were thankfully, the exception and not the norm. Her dress didn't help matters, only served the strengthen the image that she somehow turned up at the wrong place on her way to Orchard towers/Geylang/some seedy bar to conduct 'business'/rushed to City hall from her 'business' at Geylang. Oh well...I'm not denying that I'm gloating. Hopefully her dress and makeup sense will improve in time for her JC prom, or the guys may just start prepositioning her.
My own makeup didn't turn out exactly as I'd planned (no thanks to bad skin) but it was ok. Quite a few ppl told me they liked my necklace...believe it or not it cost $4(or was it $5?) at J8! lolz...Maybelline's mum said I looked like a certain Chinese DJ (Wu Anya, if I didn't remember wrongly)..I was like, "Huh?" lolx. First my mum said I look like CNA's Suzanne Jung (the last time I did the same makeup to show her what I planned to do on prom nite), then...umz...lolz. I iwsh I had more height though. Everyone's already taller than me, then they were heels and I'm wearig 1/2inches....Some of my friends had to take off their heels whenever they took a photograph with me.
And yes, December, nobody gave me grief over my film camera. My school is not as hung up over such stuff as your school/circle of friends is. In fact quite a few ppl brought film cameras as well. Hey, a camera is a camera, and to judge someone over what type of camera she brings is really shallow.
Even professional photographers still use film cameras.
Cheryl sings really beautifully...the duet with Mr (Geraint) Wong was amazing! I'm inspired...maybe I should rejoin the choir in JC? If I can take 2 CCAs.
Maybelline and Gwen--go Karaoke with me one of these days!!!!!!!!!!Earplugs are welcome lolx.
Gwen...I think I want to take up that job at Tangs/ Takashimaya after all. Hey, pay is still pay :D But have to be prepared to bear with unreasonable customers.
