Prom was fun! Great food, great place and great people. Everyone looked beautiful, with their dresses and heels and everything...I couldn't even recognise some of them haha. There was one minor problem at first though, Dan er and I came late and we couldn't sit with our class, instead we had to sit with the Sec 5's. But we pulled Mingfong with us and everything was solved. Besides, most of the time was spent away from the table taking photos.
After prom, Dan er, Youyi and I walked down Orchard Road to take more photos with the christmas lights as background. Realised that it's perfectly alright to walk down the streets past midnight in your fancy promdress, because no one was staring at all. We actually survived it all the way to Orchard Plaza in our heels. Haha. Then we went up to Youyi's aunt's shop, where all our stuff were kept. She is so nice, helping us to do our makeup and finding a hair stylist for us. Also she took a cab with us to Hilton because she was afraid we were going to be late, and waited up at her shop till 11.30pm for us to collect our stuff and teach us how to wash our makeup off properly. Such a kind soul.
Well, prom was the last time 4e5 would be meeting together officially as a class. *sobs* I'm going to miss you guys...you all are a wonderful bunch of monkeys haha, driving the teachers mad with all the crazy pranks like hijacking Mr Tan's class, putting dirty water in Mr Peterson's waterbottle and freaking Mrs Low out with Lavender the imaginary friend. Till now I always thought that 2e2 was better and had more class spirit than 4e5. But not anymore! 4e5 is special in our own way and I enjoyed all the zanity and laughter in the class...it helped me survived Sec 4. So to part, I love you guys! *muack!*

Okay, I'm pretty much ready for prom. I've been rummaging through my wardrobe, looking for something decent enough to wear, and thankfully I've found them. One black tube, bought from Watson's last year; one black skirt, bought from somewhere in Orchard a long time ago; a silver belt which I borrowed from my mother; the paua shell necklace which I bought as a souveneir from New Zealand. Haha, cheapo I know, but it looks formal enough. Now all I need is the heels and handbag. I'm going out with Dan er later to find my heels. But how am I going to find a nice evening bag which is big enough to fit my huge camera? Sigh. I don't like shopping anymore. Not when I've been shopping for almost everyday for the past week from morning to night, under stress and pressure of getting a nice prom outfit in time for prom. And my feet hurt like crazy! But must persevere...it's just 2 days away...

Went to school today to get my Leaving Certificate and JAE booklet. Now I will really have to come to a decision about my choice for a JC, because the dateline for the application is in two days.
Which one should I go to? I actually wanted to go to Anglo-Chinese because they offered my ideal subject combination, but then I found out you had to pay $200 monthly maintenance fees for the sports complex - that adds up to $2400 a year! Geez. Then I thought of St. Andrew's. Although they don't have the subject combination which I wanted, they have one which is quite similar, except that instead of Chemistry I'll have to take Economics. I wonder if Economics is as hard as people tell me it is. What a big fat bother...I hate making decisions like this.

I love spending the days like this. Just lying around on my patio, feeling the cold white tiles against my skin, listening to the wind rustling through the trees and hearing the melodious tinkle of the windchime. I've almost forgotten how it felt like to be bored, because of the O-levels, but now I love it. I can finally throw my watch into the cupboard, and while the days away, watching morning turn into night and night turn into day. Time does not exist anymore.

I could hardly contain my happiness, laughing and dancing all the way to the bus stop after the Chem paper today, pulling an embarrassed Youyi along with me. Haha. Finally, it's all over. But somehow I think I don't deserve the relief and joy I feel now - I feel like I didn't work hard enough, didn't suffer enough; I didn't do as well as I would like to. Sigh. Oh well, anyway I can't turn the clock around, so I might as well enjoy the holidays while I can. The happy holidays tainted with a little sadness, a little regret.
