the blue ball

the salmon was not so good after all. but everything else was great :]

i think last night everyone was happy, or at least they looked happy, which is always a good thing. now that it is over, complete with the anti-climatic feel at the end, i am back to being just a little bit empty inside. but the memories live on.

congratulations to me for conscientiously planning out my day's schedule, only to wake up at 3pm and have no choice but to throw half of it away. well i did not get the blue shoes after all, but thankfully our outfits matched- which i eventually became pretty obsessed about. anyway it's always nice spending time with sarah, and considering she spent half the time on stage and went home with possibly the most 'awards', im guessing it was both fun and tiring for her. haha. all the girls were pretty sporting i must say. just looking at the photos makes me smile.

really great seeing familiar faces all around. for some, maybe the last time, you never know. what disturbs me is nobody really knows the details for reporting and all. everything's just a blur for what lies ahead. but i guess a part of me is much better off not knowing.

the music, we all agreed, was horrible. it went from techno-nursery rhymes to canto-techno beats and eventually a warped version of scissor sisters (read: bootleg). the food was for some reason almost identical to acpc dining in- im not sure if it was deliberate but haha i guess the company was good enough for none of that to matter.

i had a lot of fun. there i said it. i guess ive always held back saying something like that just in case something better comes along, but i just have to be honest with myself sometimes. it was a fine evening. plus sleeping till 3pm that same day meant that i didnt feel tired at all, not even after that when the group of us (zhenghao valerie rich aysuria edwin evie mark stef chinks nina) headed to cafe iguana for some magaritas. mark was pretty wasted by the time we were done, and i have photos to prove my point, haha. stef the poor girl puked all over the bushes- i hope she's feeling better now. i still owe you your snake! and apple pie!

so, to a great night, and hopefully more of such to come, i offer a toast of top 10 anti-climaxes:
1) majlennon came down with chicken pox! (i wonder what feifan did)
2) "god put a pimple upon my face"
3) cafe iguana (bad service) rushes us for our order and the bill and closes on us.
4) darren ye decides that after making us walk all over fox/levis/puma/g2000/fcuk/zara/johnlittle etc. he would NOT wear the corduroy pants.
5) they gave us tic-tac-toe boardgames for shaking our booties on stage.
6) victor's iphone did not win us table prize. like HELLO it's an IPHONE.
7) no lucky draw prize for me. haha but everyone else was lucky!
8) edwin sprains his ankle and remains immobile for most of the dinner.
9) mark lim gets the exact same new camera as me- canonixus860is- save for the black trim.
10) we missed our bus stop and had to walk back to clarke quay.

alright i shall troop down to town and catch snee. will figure out how to upload photos from the new cam soon. if you are reading this i probably need to catch up with you before my leave ends next week so get in touch yeah?

what do you say to taking chances?
what do you say to jumping off the edge?
never knowing if there's solid ground below
a hand to hold
or hell to pay
what do you say?
