prom and post-prom

Okay, so my prom post is quite behind compare to other bloggers’. Nevertheless, it’s here.

Prom night was on June 2nd, the weather was great to dress up quarter-nakedly. Everyone looked so amazingly gorgeous - from the pictures of past years’ prom, I think we are the most chic grads. However, a few other music students and I both agreed that the music banquet was better than the prom, more or less. Fancier locale, more people, longer, everyone dresses up more elegantly… and that’s about it. Food was alright, didn’t really like the music played, and thought funny of fact that the banquet hall was divided into 2 halves - this side, non-browns; the other side, browns.

I’m happy that I was the only one to wear the light green slash turquoise colour (I think…?), and thank goodness I did not trip with my 3.5 inch heels - although I *almost* fell when I went up to receive the award, the heel part was jerking about. Speaking of the award, I still can’t figure out what a crocodile bath puff has to do with being talented - hm.. use it so one can get more taltented…?

Gizillion pictures were taken and received, I’m still waiting for a picture CD from Ross with another gizillion pictures - I did not bring my own camera, simply because it’s too crappy. The prom ended nicely, and afterwards I, along with a few other people went to Steph Ng’s house to sleep over. By the time we got there it was around 12:30-ish, and we changed, showered, and decided to go star gazing in the backyard. After we went out and sat down, we realized that unfortunately star gazing had become cloud gazing and figured that we’d just go back in and watch The Phantom of the Opera DVD instead. After the 1st half or so, I gave up trying to stay awake and decided I’d just head to bed and sleep - at around 2 or 3. Later, I realized that even the attempt to do that was in vain. Apparently some people at Steph’s went out and were singing in the backyard 5 in the morning (I know, somebody really did go crazy). For the rest of the time, I tried to sleep off and on until 11:30. Taxied home, lied on my bed for about 30min and went out again, heading downtown this time.

Ivan and I went to get our TCards - which obviously is university of Toronto’s student Card. There weren’t many people, we got the cards in 5 minutes and I felt happy that hiding a student card with a hideous picture of myself for the next four years won’t be necessary. Then, we went to see Unleashed but realized we had 2h to kill before the movie started. So, we went to Nathan Phillips Square to listen to birds’ tweedle and shriek before I started to feel sick in my stomach watching that movie. The movie wasn’t bad, but is not on the list of my favourite either. Jet Li was great - and he’s Beijingnese too… =P - but most of the fighting in the movie was gross - fighting is always gross. Li’s role as Danny makes me wonder what the political intentions of this movie are - Li, being the only Chinese owned (by that, I don’t mean ‘owned’), controlled and surrounded by Caucasians and had to fight a Japanese samurai-ish figure, as well as at the end, “Kill me, killing is what you do. You are a dog, always a dog.” which reminds me of the “Chinese and dogs are not allowed” sign posted outside of Japanese and other foreign coutries’ embassy in the early 20th century. Meh, maybe it’s just me.

So glad two of my students had something to do and couldn’t make it to their lessons this morning, so I got to sleep in until 10. I died for that sleep. Good thing is that now I recovered from the stomach sickness. =( for missing the multicultural assembly, =) for getting yearbooks on Monday. Oh next week, I think I’m the only gr.12 who doesn’t have any summatives. Another =).

  13. well, since I most likely won’t have a wedding - not to mention a wedding party - the prom can certainly compensate for that. hehe.

    thanks Justin, I think green generally look nice on Chinese people - unless you are ultra tanned.

  14. How’d you get the notification to get the T card? I haven’t heard anything yet… other than the normal ‘you accepted our offer’ stuff… Trinity College seems disorganized :S

  15. UofT would send you an official package informing that you have been accepted, and with the package, there’s a page with information regarding TCard. Are you Ross?
