I went for Zhen Guang's commissioning ball last night! It was great! High class. Super. Held at Ritz Calton. Took a cab down. At first, we just lingered around at the top. Didn't know what to do. So after a while, we went downstairs. Met a few ppl. Alvin, my p6 friend, was the first one that i met. Then met ppl like Jordan, Samuel, Seng Loong, Edwin and his other friends...gave some of those guys i know a card. they were all shocked when they received it. but happy (:

We went downstairs, got our door gift, met his bed buddy who gave me a very hard hand shake *ouch* Anyway, went to take a few shots by the prof photographers. Quite fun. Glad dad trained me in it a bit. After that, I dragged zg out to the garden outside to take photos (cos i saw a girl posing there). But i chose a different spot. Went to a place with stairs. And I saw one of my fav flowers! Frangipani! Took it and put it on my ear! Haha. looks very hawaiian but i've always wanted to take this kinda shots. so i asked zg to help me take. after that, we explored the place a bit and went up the stairs to behind. took a few solo shots there and check out sepia (brown and white) and black-and-white photos. zg extremely loves speia photos! haha.

So after all the photos, we headed in to the ballroom which was extremely huge. took a while to find the table then sat down. emcee was not bad. i loved the entertainment esp by the music and drama saf company! They do a really good job. just a pity my back was facing the stage so i din get to see a lot of the performance :( and in the end, take photos, watch that little bit till i eat too slow. bleah. was quite sad to give up my food but had no choice. the others had already finished!!

The dining was super high class! There were 2 sets of cultery! I was shocked. Didn't know which set to use first. First was bread and butter. then the appetizer. which was extremely small like french crusine! Herb thing, veggie and a prawn which i didn't eat. then the soup with real clam! And mind you, the shell was still attached to it. being a girl, not wanting to embarrass myself in front of 3 other couples, i just had to give up that clams too. sad. main course was the last dish. chicken with stuffing. quite cool. last was strawberry cheesecake which was very rich yet authentic. well, quite sad tat it's only 4 course meal. i expected more though. haha. nonetheless, the food was great. it was something different and special and unique!

We took alot of photos. erm. more like i'm the camera man woman helping zg snap photos with his friends. i also had my own surprises of friends! Wei yan, danilah, min yi, elizabeth, christine, esther... oh! And i'm happy to finally be able to meet, see and talk to Edwin, aunty dorothy's son! like FINALLY. got a chance to sit down and talk to him since he was at my table..

After everything was over, zg and i hanged arnd nearby. went to esp rooftop. sat there and chatted for one hour! Just about things. quite glad and comforted to be able to spend time with him! It's not tat easy to be able to catch him and talk to him about stuffs. after tat, we just walked around under my persuasion tat i didn't want to go home so soon. haha. i dunno why. but i had been looking forward to this day for the entire week. and i've been studying very hard during that week to justify this night out. and i believe, because i studied so hard, i really needed a break. something inside my body was crying out to go out to town, city hall area and just walk esp or marina square or suntec. yeah. so was asking zg to spend that time with me. which i'm thankful he did! more importantly, it was the time spent and the company he's given that i'm really grateful for!

Yeah. I'm glad I dressed up that day. I did up my hair! spent the money for it. my first time doing it. did temporary curls then pin it up! it made me look very different n pretty. gotta thank my sis too for helping me "wear" my dress else alot of my hair will be messed up! And yar, it was good choice of zg to ask me to wear the dark red dress. well, i'm glad he liked my dressing that day! I mean, i always have this thinking that i wanna dress up, look good and make-up not just for myself, not just for my self-confidence, not just so i'll look good, but more for the guy. to want that guy to feel proud of walking beside me (: what's more for a ball where i'll be meeting so many of his peers!

thankfully, quite a number of ladies wore other colours besides black. there's white, blue, pink and red! yay. so i'm not the only one. and there's one, our nick-named lady: greek goddess. Haha. but her dressing was quite good lah. elaborate but good. indeed, this ball really opens up my eye. I really saw alot of different dressing. there are some that are really short and tight. there are others tat literally sweep the carpet. both zg and i were stunned. and there were those blue ones, the unique foldings and colours on the dress. but zg was very nice and gentlemanly. though i keep commenting that other ladies' dresses were pretty, he would always say tat i look good and that my dress is nice too. haha. thanks man! it helps alot! =)

All in all, i had a good break, a good dinner and a good time at the ball! More importantly, i had a wonderful company and a meaning spending of time with Zhen Guang! yeah. to me, nothing beats spending time with people and doing things together. And I'm glad I had this honour to be his date at this occasion and celebrate together with him! =) Congrats once again! and just want to say thanks for that night! =D My pri 6 classmate cum CTSS school mate cum same birthday kaki! *Don't ever forget the last one! It's rare to find k? So you muz rmb me!* :P
