Debutante Ball
After a day of recuperation, I suppose now is as good a time as any to blog about the deb ball. I woke up at about 9, washed my face and changed. Heh, I didn't bother to do my hair and just went to Beauty Bank to get it done. Yes, if they thought I looked hideous, they hid it well. They did a really good job too. My hair looked gorgeous! Totally worth the money I didn't have to spend on it!
Can you see the pearls? The hairdresser matched them to my tiara without being asked. So nice :)
My auntie made the tiara for me. All it's going to cost is babysitting and dinner for two.
After they did my hair, I went to get my makeup done by this asian place instead of Napoleon. I wasn't too impressed. It was done in a dimly lit room and the lady only spoke canto so my mum had to translate. I didn't really want my eyes that blue but oh well. Don't think anybody noticed.
When we got to Paul's house, Jeremy was already there and his parents were fussing over his tie. It was a good opportunity to laugh at him, enough said. When Tara and Rowena arrived, I realized that my dress was a weird off white colour which is not YELLOW but IVORY so TAKE THAT. They looked stunning. All the girls there that night were AMAZING and everyone looked different even though we were all wearing white.
The limo driver was awesome. He gave us cds to play and even apologized once when someone cut him off and he had to brake really hard. He told me he thought my dress was ivory so of course I like him. We arrived at the Brighton International pretty early and got our photos done. Thanks to Sarah Pizzey who had to drive really far to pick up my gloves. She also helped my fix up my hair when my tiara came loose :).
I spent most of the night telling people to compliment me and get my food and drinks. It was goood. I especially loved MattslashTodd because he was so sweet and got me lots of food. Actually that's not such a good thing, I nearly choked to death on sprite and satays. Tara and MattslashTodd both noticed and rushed to my aid. Hehe. I nearly tripped over my gown like...twenty three times. It was so not cool. I think I've learnt that I can't actually walk. Half the people I met told me my dress looked like a toga and the other half told me I looked like the statue of liberty. MattslashTodd told me I looked like a Chinese Roman girl. Okaaaay.
After dinner, I had a chat with Tom from my methods class. He's really nice. I also had a coffee all by myself and the waitress served me sugar and milk. I was like, the only person sitting at the table for ten, drinking coffee and with a pitcher of milk and a bowl of sugar. It was actually quite funny...in a pathetic way. Haha
The night went pretty smoothly but by midnight, my feet were KILLING ME. I had to wear my heels from 2pm till 12am and I so wasn't used to it. I was reduced to running around without shoes on. Luckily my dress is so long eh? The DJ played dance music and everyone was dancing away. Did anyone know that there's a French exchange student at our school? I had no idea...until Ashwyn introduced us and we were all dancing together. I spent most of that wondering who he was haha.
I got home at 1am and it was 2am before I got to bed. I was pretty tired when I had to get up and go to work but hey, c'est la vie. Now I will shut up and let you look at pretty photos. COMPLIMENT ME!
A kiss for luck lol. Probably the best day of goat guy's life.
Tara and Ashwyn
Rowena and I (Tom and Lisa doing godknowswhat in the background there)
Kimmy and Joshy. They're so cute :)
The men
Me and Anil
Mum, Ba, Me and Poogene
Rowena, Jeremy and Rowena's dad
I didn't take that many photos so there will be another post later when Tara has sent me all her photos and I have stolen more off other people.
With love,
Mel
