Ahhhh I'm back home!

Yesterday was PROM NIGHT DAY. For the first (and probably the last) time in my life I was out prowling the streets at 3am in the morning. To start chronologically anyway, I started off lazing the day around, worrying about whether I'd mess up my make up and getting butterflies over the excitement. Then I zipped off to J8 to get me a hair tie for the dinner, and then I came home and made myself up. The previous night, it took my nearly an hour to get everything right, but this time, thank god, it only took 20 minutes. I think I didn't look too bad, eh heh.

I cabbed down to the Robertson Quay Hotel where we'd booked a room for the night. The cab driver was a very very talkative guy called Mr Lau, and for some reason or other, we got into a discussion on religion. I've never had such an interesting cab ride before. He was a roman catholic and he was talking about his own experiences or something, and he recommended me two books- Incorruptible and Eucharistic Miracles. I have to go and check that out sometime.

Anyway I hung around the hotel lobby for some time, waiting for my dear darling room mates who'd gone to be made up and poofed up at a salon, and my god, they looked so AWESOME. There was ju, dor and jiayin, and they had their hair done and curled and glittered and their eyes made up and everything. We went up to the hotel room, touched up on make up, got changed, and then cabbed to swissotel.

The prom itself was pretty okay. The performances were really good. The IP girls did a very sexy opening dance, and the IP boys danced to super junior's sorry sorry. Except they called themseves super seniors, of course! Then there were the band performances and the western dancers also gave a performance.
The food was.. okay, very typical, but I think one of the nicest parts of the evening was the free photoshoot. We got group shots- both and big and small- and individual pictures as well.

The interesting part of the evening came after that! It was a bit boring at parts- and very tiring, but it was an experience I suppose everyone should have once. We went clubbing. Well, sorta, anyway. We headed back to the hotel for ju, dor, jy and lx to change into a post prom outfit. Then we walked alllll the way to the Helipad, which is actually a very nice place. It's sort of on top of a carpark, and that late at night, the carpark's very empty, and the city looks so beautiful. You go up these stairs from the carpark and you come up on a wooden deck- the helipad, i guess- and there are softly illuminated tables and seating areas scattered here and there. The breeze is awesome. If they playes nice music, it's the kind of place I'd like to visit with friends.
The purpose of the evening, however was to get a clubbing experience, so off we went into clarke quay proper. Half the pubs were closed, but some were open, like one called Clinic. The furniture was like hospital beds with metal hospital bed-rails for chair backs, and there were even a few wheel chairs scattered around. Fascinating! Then we decided we would crash the SAJC post prom party at The Supper Club. Yuenteng and yuxian were with us till then, but they went home when we cabbed to supper club.

It was crazy when we got there. People queueing up to go in- for $18 a ticket, plus one free drink- and one rather drunk girl who was being propped up by her boyfriend. Her friends were trying to send her home, but she insisted she was fine and in the next moment, nearly fell over in her heels.

I must say this trend for showing flesh is really horrible. I don't know, I don't think it flatters anyone. It hugs the hips and the thighs, and makes girls look short and dumpy and unbeautiful. There were so many girls dressed like that.

Anyway, inside the club was really noisy. There were two levels to it, and along each wall were beds. Yeah, beds. I suppose they took supper club quite literally- after supper you go to bed, right? The music was... okay. That wasn't particularly enjoyable, because you really cannot dance without nice music that you can sing along to. There were all these weird techno beat thingies.

As for drinking, after seeing all those drunk girls staggering around and drunk boys bellowing at each other and acting ridiculously on the dancefloor, I didn't really fancy getting tipsy, so I tried not to drink so much. We shared drinks, but I ended up having about a cup's worth of various flavoured vodkas. I can tell why people get drunk- the alcohol is so light and masked by all the fruity flavours (we had an apple vodka and cranberry vodka) that you can drink like a fish and not realise how high you are. Some people certainly didn't. I got a front seat view of a full girl on girl french liplock. They looked like they were having fun. I wouldn't want to be them when the videos their friends were shooting go up on facebook. There was also this really annoying guy who was in a happy place who kept grinding up against us. I couldn't really tell, since we were all packed like sardines.

AAaanyway, I'm getting really tired, so I have to finish this!
Me, ju and dor cabbed home at about 5, and lx and jy walked. I slept at about 6 and woke up at 8, and lazed around till 9. Then we had breakfast (which we didn't pay for hee hee) and walked around outside taking pictures till 1130. It's not like the breakfast was spectacular, anyway. It was a three star hotel, so it was edible, but not by any means fancy or sumptous. And they wanted to charge us $8++ for it.

And then I came home. And that's it so far.

I'm SLEEPY. Good night!

Three things happened to me recently. Of course, recently would have to be at least a week ago- I've been online a lot but I haven't touched this lj in some time x)

First of all, I was playing badminton in slippers on the road outside my house one day. As anyone could tell you, it's a very silly thing to do. But putting on shoes is such a bother- and so hot as well. It's a lot safer, though, as my mum admonished afterwards. After she finished laughing. I fell down while trying to return a serve. My right ankle twisted and I completely lost my balance, and somehow my left leg got the brunt of my fall. At first I thought I'd twisted my ankle, at the worst. Then I saw that my left knee was grazed, my whole left leg from knee to ankle bore some long scratches, and my left big toe had a hunk of skin scratched off. And it wouldn't stop bleeding! And it was very painful. I got myself into the house. but I nearly fainted on the way XD Which is odd for me, okay, I'm not the kind of person to faint.

Now how'm I going to go to prom in a dress. More than a week after, my grazes are all peeling off and it looks horrible. Like something savaged my leg D:

Second, I fell asleep that night and woke up with a sprained wrist. How anyone can possibly sprain their wrist in their sleep is beyond me, but clearly, I'm capable of the impossible. I must've slept with it twisted in the wrong way. And worst of all it was my right wrist! So I could hardly write the entire morning! And then I thought of the chinese medicinal plasters that my mum kept and went to fish them out of her drawer. They didn't help much. My mum laughed and laughed when she came home because first of all, I'd injured myself again and in my sleep and I'd put on the wrong sort of plaster. It wasn't even a plaster. I was some sort of adhesive backing for the plaster itself.

I maintain that it wasn't my fault though; it was the only one out of its packet and my mum gets so annoyed when we open new things when there're still old ones left. So it's not my fault!

Third, a few days ago, I woke up with this vague dream that I'd been getting out of bed, but fell out of bed instead and injured my right foot. When I threw back the covers, I found that I'd scraped the skin off one of my right toes, somehow.

Needless to say, my entire family was extremely amused. I was very good entertainment for that week.

Li laoshi was nicer though. After she finished laughing she assured me that nothing bad should happen again because good things- and bad things always come in threes in the tales.

An eventful week huh. I injured three limbs in the course of seven days. I feel so accomplished XD
