Etched Onto the Stars - The Night of Glamour

So it was prom night, and I had very high expectations for it.

Woke up at 8.30am and I was too excited to continue sleeping. So I ate breakfast and spent the next seven hours playing video games. How fascinating.

It was four, and mom took me to a nearby saloon to style and color my hair, which admittedly, was my first time doing so. And well, I then had (light) brown hair. I didn't really like it at first, until my mom went like "omg you look so good with brown hair!".

Okays...

After dressing up and drowning myself in perfume (or cologne, whatever it is), I was all set, and it was only 4.40pm.

So Wing Sum reached my house and he was like "omg your hair."

And Wei Jian was like "wtf."

Skipping the rather boring journey to KL tower, the first person who commented on my hair was Jay, and he was literally screaming "wtf Alvin I don't know you're this kind of person!"

And I instantly thought, the night is gonna be so cool.

So basically almost everyone was commenting on my brown hair, and many were (understandably) shocked; I mean, I myself was kinda surprised that I wanted to color my hair in the first place.

Okays, enough about my hair (by the way it's black again now).

Spent the first hour snapping photos with everyone I knew in the (very, very hot) lobby, and it's pretty obvious that CHS-ians has taken over the entire area, which was definitely awesome. We totally rock.

I gotta admit, I didn't recognize some people (most notably girls), and it was totally epic to see how much the girls changed with makeup on. Oh, and I spotted some other guys sporting colored hair (one of them was bra), so I wasn't the only one. Phew.

It was seven, and we were allowed (or kinda well, forced) to ride the (freaking slow) elevator up to the banquet hall.

The hall was just, small. Like, too small. Tiny. Miniscule. Congested like shit. Whatever adjectives that are used to describe small. It was pretty okay at first, until the place started to flood with people, then it became hell.

Well, not really, it was actually kinda fun; at least there's space to walk. Lol.

After snapping some (rather gay) photos with friends, and watching Chuen Hong getting dizzy from watching the view through the windows (so he suffers from acrophobia, hmm...), the party finally started.

Comments about my hair didn't stop till the end, and well, I ain't that used to it, but it just made the night a memorable one, and I'm definitely gonna dye it brown next time.

The food was shit, like, totally. I mean, yeah they were at least edible, but what the hell, at least make it more like a "buffet" than a mere "catering" .___.

Performances were awesome. Auyong was awesome. His Gangnam Style dance was awesome. In fact, he seriously should opt to be a professional dancer and lead Malaysia to become a nation of expert dancers (what am I thinking).

So after the awards presentation, all of us had a taste of clubbing life. Well, I actually kinda liked it, jumping and screaming to popular dance hits, but most of my friends kinda loathed it (some had seizures trololol), so yeah. But it was cool.

Thus ended the night of glamour, a night to remember for eternity, a night filled with smiles and laughter, with a little sorrow deep down in everyone's heart.

- End of Part I
