forgive.: prom I

Halloween was well spent for me, cause i had my PROM.

31st October was eventful. i went for lectures in the morning as usual with the econs lecturer giving us notes on what would come out for the exam. At 3, with all the exam stuff promptly forgotten, me, amanda, krystle, tiffy, liwen and amanda left for the basement of Myers[equivalent of taka]. Me and krystle discovered that the bloom [click for link] cosmetic counter at Myers was doing free make up for some promotion thing. Being chinese, we happily took advantage of it and booked it for us and the rest. joyce joined us later. I LOVE MY MAKEUP ARTIST. she only did mine since she went home after she did me but i liked her cause she was really good and friendly. Me, being a noob at this sort of a thing, had no clue, just told her i wanted light make up and that my dress was grey and she immediately started whipping out stuff and asked me to choose between 2 shades of grey for eyeshadow. As she was doing my face i asked her about stuff in general. She wants to be a makeup artist for models and she told me she prefered doing asian faces. i never heard that before. like choosing asian over caucasian. anyway, her name's steph and i'm going to send her a thank you card. as you can tell, i really liked her work:

tiffy and me

we went back to albert house to do hair. i was intending to do a french plait at the side of my head but it became loose so last minute-ly, sam and esther came to the rescue and did my hair simply but nicely. corridor mate to the rescue! thank you so much sam. and thanks for lending me your earrings, esther. and so after all the mayhem and running around like a headless chicken, the cinderellas descended the stairs into the waiting room where their prince charmings were waiting.[read: pretty girls clopped down the crappy albert house stairs in precariously high heeled shoes invented by men who decided that destroying a women's foot would be a good idea because it made her butt look small where the guys in suits who-were-looking-better-than-usual-but-still-not-prince-quality were grumbling about how long the girls were taking at the dining area. The girls camwhored with glam dresses with a not-so-glam background of the albert house dining hall. eg.

see? 4 VERY pretty girls with 4 VERY pretty dresses and hair with flourescent lights behind. SIGH

anyway, the maxicabs arrived and we piled in and off we went. some random guy waved to us at the traffic light. i think he was quite amazed.

Grand Hyatt: Trinity College Foundational Studies Annual Ball 2008
Live from the red carpet!

that was our theme. kinda boring but oh well. the red carpet was fun to camwhore on.

3 course meal. prawns, chicken and chocolate tart. mixed opinions. i've heard it being described as 'f**king waste of money' to 'excellent' and 'worth it'. personally, i find it ok cause taking into consideration that $85 had to cover venue, deco and food, the food was not bad.

more photo taking and shameless camwhoring ensued. Bee bee won Miss trinity(have to be good in studies, pretty, charismatic, nice and talented) yay! and kendrick and melody got couple of the night. their prize was a giant teddy! it was this giant:
