PROM was a blast. had a really good time thank God i din get drunk and okay everything went really fine...everyone just looked their best, their hair sparkling, their suits neat and tidy, the girls looked so different but all of them had good taste in their dressing, none of those over-florid styles and cluttered layouts, just simple elegance and tasteful evening wear. i arrived at 6, went to hsin yao and alex's suites, which really looked elegant esp alex's (there's even a pillow menu) and later on playing 'all that jazz' as they entered, (although we had to have a makeshift bass player), taking photos with countless people and just having this nice buzz of atmosphere inthe air, and later on with all the performances and our playmakers performance + prom queen and stuff was really pretty entertaining.
but the fun was yet to start. induz3. now that's where its at. it started slow, just got some bourbons and v sprites, then it really heated up a bit wif thehotties nad later on when more pple came it was gabriel's turn to heat up and it was really good with 'she hates me' and all that haha kren was cheering him on (tsk tsk), so scandalous rite. haha. okay never mind. u dun get it. mr third eye blind ah. the fun was only starting. the music got better and better with all the r n b of 'pass me e money' that stupid song and the DMX 'party up' and 'move bitch' and all that which was really good, all of us were in a circle and we were just jiving to the groove and the beat and the lights......you have to be high, if not you'd be an idiot trying to jive/groove. it's really stupid to be grooving rite, when u are like, oh man. at the end, was really....'yeah!!!! WOW!!! ' and shouting my head off to vida and candice and all of them and aiya just fun lah. long island tea is great....but why do they only serve housepours! irritating.
went back to hotel and talked a bit and slept. oh wells. woke up to mcdonalds'. had singalong session. had nice lunch which was free with the most awesome peking duck(acutally its just canapes and stuff) before jocking off to camp. now thats a life, i tell u.
all those stupid songs are still stuck in my head. ugh! im going to download them!!

I haven't blogged for a long time, but it's still been fun. thursday saw me go shopping to buy some g2000 shirt...friday was really busy, with band rehearsals at darren's, bball at tanglin cc, and jazz band practice at andrew's house. we need to get an amp for my guitar, becoz i can't use a keyboard amp, it sounds rather bad. bball was bad, as usual. our 'all that jazz' needs work, esp the front part, becoz it's still a bit messy actually, but it's really ambitious that we're actually going to do the fast parts.
today was great, though SAT 2 was lousy, especially world history. i felt like i was guessing alot of the answers, since alot of them were very hazy. sigh. mebbe i should've done literature. hopefully still got january to do?? (u can submit it until the 2/15 i heard). but after that lanning was fun, since it was nice being with your mates agian, talking like you did in secondary school. "let all new faith be tolerant of that fetishism, lest it bruise its own roots". playing warcraft and all the rubbish.
i was quite put of by my parents, becoz we had put in a one buck coin into the trolley machine and when we wanted to return it there wasn't any trolleys left, and so a man had to give his one buck coin from his own wallet to my mum, on her insistence, and i was embarassed, because i didn't know if he would get his money back, and i'd rather leave with a clear conscience then cheat the man of one buck. after all, he might earn only 3-4 bucks an hour. that's 15 minutes wasted.
i could have used marginal utility theory, that one buck to us brings less utility then one buck to him, but well....it's subjective rite.
tonight we were at wala-wala, and it was really cool. the band was really cool, and i remembered them from the day when they were playing back at hard rock cafe's thursday show, and when the lady singer, who's really fantastic and has a great voice, and more importantly, vocal control, sang their original song, it was, confirmed, them, coz i had heard the song last time...they went through lots of songs, 'to be with you', and a stunning rendition of 'sweet child of mine', plus 'dreams', 'more than words', 'standing still', and a chorus-rousing 'bitch', 'losing my religion', etc. it was cool when they hauled up one of the audience members to the front to do some singing, it was 'fire', and he was just cranking up the tempo. not bad, pretty sporting. darren said he could sing better, i wouldn't disagree, haha. the male singer was really good too, with a bonjovi impersonation of 'summer of 69'. had a strawberry daiquiri which was really nice in addition to a bit of mr quek's hoogeraden beer, which is actually much better than tiger.
their band was really tight: the lead guitarist's improvisations were out of this world, just all over the place, and the ES-335 that he used had an organic ring to it that was lovely, it meant he could do all the guitar harmonies and stuff that an ordinary electric couldn't do, and the rhythm section was tight, while their lead singer, the female, strutted her stuff. it makes me inspired to go practise some more, and write more....
i think i'm beginning to get back my social-me, the part of me that connects with people and talks to their inner souls and all that. it was dead and buried because the As just stifled all that away from you, but now perhaps it has just started emerging, as I take off the covers one by one of you and you, and peel off the layers slice by slice, and then we can start having a conversation. it's great, just laughing with your mates, talking, having fun.
it's a wonder i saw you today, and you and you. funny how all the old memories creep back, just as silas marner went back to lantern yard to recollect old memories.
