Graduation Night

Woohoo! Yesterday was my graduation night aka prom night. Held at Suntec City Ballroom, it was the biggest event on most students' calendar. The night where everyone dress up for the event and suddenly, the geek in your class become one of the most handsome guys around. Bet you didn't realise that when he was in uniform and wearing that big squared spectacles right? Than the girl you have a crush on turn up in a stunning gown that makes you lose your senses? Yes, yesterday was the night all these happened.

From my observation, other than some really typical fashion disasters, the guys generally turn up in blazer/jacket, long sleeve shirt and jeans/pants. Stylists may say that it the most common way of dressing up for events like prom, but hey, it is definitely the most safest outfit. For girls, the general trend was gowns. Other than less than 10 who turn up in pants, all worn gowns. Every girl look stunning in gowns, really. The most daring gown i saw was a bare-back gown. Not exactly bare-back but there are only 4 lines of fabric passing through her back. Tube-top gowns are popular. Spaghetti-top gowns are next in line. Colour-wise, too many to recount. But my conclusion is that, yesterday night everyone had a transformation. Everyone look stunning and beautiful in their outfits.

Um, about transformation, to me, I had this general conclusion. The girls who steal most of the attention are not those who are already beautiful. Those who are already considered beautiful turned up in nice gowns and they look nice. But those hidden beauties... in school, they are just your typical plain jane. But once they dress up, you never know they look so pretty. The make-up, the outfit, the impression they gave to others, they simply overshadow the first type of girls I mentioned.

About the food, it was excellent. Very nice and ya, simply nice. The service by the waiters and waitresses was also excellent. We are constantly moving around taking pics and talking to friends, resulting in some times, the table was empty while the food was served. The waiters and waitresses were nice enough to divide the food equally and serve it on our plates so that when we return, the food is already there. Than, they would always ensure that we are hydrated by constantly refilling our drinks. One more thing is that the plates would be changed once the food on it is finished as i believe they do not want to remains of the current food to mix with the next one. This is something i appreciate. I am sure that i do not want the remains of the fish from the last dish to interfere with the chicken of the current dish. One last thing i admire is that the paitence they have, really. Most of us are walking around taking pictures and jamming up all the small walkways they need to use to transport the food. In spite of this, i never heard any complaints from them. Cheers to all the waiters and waitresses.

Overall, yesterday was great and i enjoyed myself. Did some catching up with some friends. However, from today onwards, we will be going on our own ways and it will take a miracle to gather all of us again. I am starting to miss them now and the times we use to spend in the school, be it mugging for exams or talking rubbish or just saying hi, bye. Damm, why must tears well up in my eyes now?
