This blog post is not going to be random. It's gonna be about Grad Night, which I went for, and missed NCO. But invitation was needed for NCO, so it being in some ulu place like NeeSoonCamp, it kind of gave me a reason to go for Grad Night instead.

How should I put it? It was average. Here's the "holistic" report for the whole entire event.
5 out of 10 for level of interest I had in it.
10 out of 10 for the effort put into trying to transform the school hall, that I sooooo couldn't recognize it.
0 out of 10 for the level of success achieved in the transformation.

They said they'll have coolers, WHATEVER.
We were perspiring.

They said we wouldn't recognize the hall, WHATEVER.
It looked the same to me.

They said there'll be event planners, WHATEVER.
Bullshit, Cowdung, Dogpoo. It didn't seem awesomely well planned.

Boring la, our school. CMI. Cannot Make It. Come out with all sorts of excuses to cover up for their plans to cut costs. And, they, trying to kid with us, is obviously a complete and total joke. Don't you find it funny? OH YES. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Laugh.

SO. Why did I still have interest?

Yes, friends being there, was partly the reason. Friends over rule venue. HAHA. The company spent while searching the outskirts of Singapore, ok, maybe not thoroughly, just mainly town, searching for everything which fitted our outfit, was goooood. It was awesomely interesting, funny and enjoyable, with Farah, Eunice, Weelyn, and HC. Then, friends at Grad Night, would be obviously the reason to attend. I mean, damn, picture-taking after the whole event was the only awesome part of the whole night. Even though everyone, was unglamly perspiring in the "cooled" hall, it was really fun going around, taking pictures with all your mates, those in the same class, same CCA, or best, even the same Sec 1 class. It was just, so much fun. It sure makes you treasure those you had, the past 4/10 years, even better.

I was looking forward to the slideshows. But screw the event planners (if they even existed) cause they didn't play the slides! At least part of 4/6's came out, but it totally didn't fit the point, when, they were trying to get 4/1 up on stage to get their class photo taken. The bad thing, I had a number of unglam shots in the thing. And I've no idea where they got the pics from. There was one like, "2.30, tutorials start." and they show me sleeping. BEST. Another, was one taken during NCO, when I was holding the mace and doing what shit pose. BEST, cause I seriously didn't know where that came from cause I WANT PICS OF ME IN NCO BUT I CAN'T FIND THEM! Then, one was one I foolishly allowed SONA and TUNG TUNG TUNG DA DA DA aka Clarissa, meddle with my hair and markers. BEST, cause that was ultimately unglam. However, honestly, and humbly, I must still say, none of my unglam shots can compete with the award-winning/Escar/Ommy nominated picture of 4/6 07's existance in SAC, Weelyn's drug addict shot! LOL! :D I seriously, didn't submit that ah. Anyway, coming back to the point, I'm rather irritated they didn't play the slides!

Grad Night amused me because you get to see everyone transform. Like, from the being nerdy to being glamourous, though some, I seriously don't know what went through their minds when they picked their outfit out. Anyway, I went for Grad Night because I could get to see a rather amusing fashion show. Haha. All the weird outfits, and yet, the really really really beautiful ones. If they were weird, they were really weird. If they were pretty, they were really pretty. But duh, mostly were the same. So, that fits under the category of "plain and simple". Then came the Grace and Style award aka Prom Queen (whatever), which was not too shocking. I think they all deserved it, esp Audrey Lange, the disgracer to my name, LOL, and Ruzanna! :D Shuweet!

So, what happened to the other 5 marks which were lost in the scale of my interest? To put it short and sweet,...

Long award ceremony.
Long speeches.
Performances which weren't too awesome.
Hall.
Humidity.
The sound of how the CCEs tried their best desperately to make it work, when obviously, it couldn't really work.
Retarded rules regarding the skinnies issue, that do make people very irritated, yet people like me, amused.
Everyone noticing my tan, and PEELING SKIN.

Dolling up and dressing up at Hollywood Secrets was probably one of the bestest part of the whole idea of Grad Night. It's been a loooong time since I touched makeup, which was most probably my birthday, where Clarissa, Maxine and Michelle attempted to give me a makeover, but for like proper making up for an event, it'd be a performance in church, or wait, Sounds of Music. Lol. Spas. Anyway, the makeup was awesome. I didn't really like it at first, but I began to love it even more when I looked into the mirror during hair styling. Lol. I don't have a thing bout glitter, but it still went perfectly well! :D Then, came the hair styling part. The guy talked to me in Chinese, and I felt so hopeless when I couldn't reply in Chinese. I spoke in broken Chinese, he asked what time was the event in Chinese, and I said "Liu dian (Six o'clock)" and he said it was early, it being only 2 plus. And I said, "Ying wei, wo men need to report at 5 o'clock" Wa, shit. I felt like Jing-mei from JLC. Goodness. ANYWAY, he said I had a sweet face (DUH!) HAHAHAHA, (wait till he hears me curse and swear) and that I looked like as if I was going to get married, LOL, and said something bout during wedding, gotta be even prettier or something. Ok, so no link. Lol. I think he just forgotten that I'm married already. Lol. Anyway, then, he plaited and bunned my hair, and it looked really really pretty! I loved it...not till he...did something to my fringe when Eunice Gee was beside me. Lol. He did those peacock look, I almost died on the spot. When I saw it, I was like "SHIT. Everyone's gonna call me peacock." then after finishing, he said "Ok, done. Can?" and I was like, "Can I have my flat fringe instead?" HAHA. So...embarrassing. You should have seen my face, and Eunice's. It was CLASSIC man. But I managed to get back the hair I loved, that, I'm here now blogging, and not yet showered cause I don't wanna take out the hairdo. I wanna keep it! HAHAHA. For this, I totally love Hollywood Secrets. Money spent was indeed worth its value! :D

Funny incidents at Hollywood Secrets:
Eunice was mistaken for a mix, yet again.
One of the lady said Eunice's eyes were so big, they could "fang dian" (in other words, you know, do that electricity thingy with the opposite sex or whatever)

Then, once we stepped foot out of Hollywood Secrets, people couldn't stop staring. God, it was seriously so irritated. Damn it, and it's PARAGON for goodness sake. It seems as if nothing's wrong. Oh yes, we were in our dresses by the way, but all the aunties, couldn't stop staring. As if we were walking naked. It was to the extent I said "WILL THEY JUST STOP STARING?!" while looking at this aunty staring. And, best thing was that she continued to stare! So, we decided to go to Starbucks since I assured Eunice, Weelyn and HC, that if we sat at SB, no one would notice us, rather than walking around. Stares were lesser, but we did get noticed for makeup la huh. Not too bad. Better than stares, from aunties.

Cabbed from Paragon to NatEng's house to tompang our stuff, thanks a million bitch! HAHA. And it was so sickening cause the queue was uber long, and I specifically wanted a Prestige cab, so we could arrive in style and glamour, so we tried to call, BUT THEY REFUSED TO PICK UP OUR CALL! Sickening! So we ended up calling for Comfort Cab. Better than being late.

Let's skip the details of Grad Night, wait. Except for the GOH's speech. Wapiang! Her speech is like totally no link to the theme/event. She told a story, and it was as if she was writing an essay la. "Our hearts sank to our feet", etc. I STM, can't really recall the rest. Anyway, yeah. Oh yes, and my feet was totally aching. Standing for a long period of time in heels, is pretty bad. Equivalent to shopping in heels actually, which happened to me before. And everyone, EVERYONE, I knew, just had to take note of my tan. So...embarrassing! It's like..."Audrey! You're so red!", "Nice tan, Audrey!", etc. Lesson learnt. Thank God for the shawl, if not, I'd have been peeling my skin during the speeches. LOL!

Headed to Simpang Bedok to sup. Food and company was awesome beyond awesome! :D Laughed, talked, reminiscenced, feasted, over the good old days of Secondary life, how we transformed from nerds-who-wore-round-frame-glasses-and-tied-our-unlayered-hair-in-a-low-pony-tail to young-ladies-who-wear-contact-lenses-and-tie-our-hair-looking-like-a-kcian. HAHAHAHA. Laughed over every single little bit we did, and all the lame things we said. Oh yes, I must complain, everyone ordered drinks eh? Duh. So I ordered white spider. It's a drink where they put rubber spiders, and when the spiders are submerged, they look white but when they are taken out, they turn black. And the drink is of your own choice. Sounds convincing? BULLSHIT, COWDUNG, DOGPOO. It's just sprite with Vanilla ice-cream. No realtion to white spider. Probably cause the vanilla ice-cream is like floating, it looks like a spider. Hmmm. Maybe. Why can't they call it Sprite Float?! So, I ordered that. Everyone's drinks came and they finished them, and my white spider still didn't come. So when my patience became to wear off, I asked again. Then I waited, waited. And waited. It still didn't come. SO, for the last time, I asked. And then, it arrived. It was black! As in BLACK SPIDER. Not WHITE! SO tsking la. So everyone was making fun, saying that that's the lala version of the white spider. WHATVER. And so I made up a story that its transforming, like TRANSFORMERS! :D HAHA. So till then, I still believed that I was drinking WHITE SPIDER. Then when the receipt came, guess what, it stated "BLACK SPIDER" BEST I TELL YOU, ULTIMATE BEST. For 3 times, I ask for WHITE SPIDER, they give it to me after I've almost quenched my thirst and then they servce me a wrong drink, without me knowing. Blame my stupidity and Clarissa, for her awesomely awesomely lala friends. HAHA. Other than that, dinner/supper, was most probably the best part of the entire day! Simpang is shuweet! :D Plus, Clarissa's lala friends served us! Slowly, one by one left, and it was left with Maxine, Clarissa and I. Chatted, till the wee hours of 1.30, then left Simpang. Returned at 2, and from then on, I've been blogging, and Facebooking, and MSNing, and not bathing, and not touching my hair, cause I love it. HAHA. I know, I stink pretty badly now. Oh wells, then would someone kindly get me that lovely Dolce and Gabana fragrance I absolutely love? HAHA.

4 awesome years, or would I say 10 years, of being in a Canossian school. Yes, it's been interesting, like a rollercoaster ride, with all the boredom, and all the climax, changes, etc. It's been moulded into a perfect story, with a perfect ending. To all those, who made this journey, one I would never forget, for it's been so enjoyable and memorable, to all the classmates who made lessons so interesting, teachers who made lessons boring so classmates could make it interesting, to all my Bandmates, Band Seniors, and all the cliques I've been in, Thank You for every little tiny bit you've done. And to the Class of 2007, we've graduated, and it's a relief, that we're free from the hands of Joseph and her discipline team, and from here, All The Best. With All My Love. :D

I'm sure you'd have realised, just like how I myself have, that I am indeed a very spoilt, and pampered child, a demanding one. OH WELL. :) Too bad, that's why my name is AUDREY CULLUM!

Now, back to Facebooking, and fighting Zombies. Lol.
This has been a long post. If you managed to survive, good for you since you read through the itty bitty gritty detail of my awesomely spent 16 November 2007. :)
