wow! so many photos! wo zi ji kan le dou yan hua liao. that night was indeed a memorable night. before the event started, there were already people gathered at the hotel lobby. some were busy arranging their accessories while some were combing back some stray hairs. i remember, i was very kan chiong on that day. i arranged to meet my hairdresser at 3.30pm but she only reached my house at 4.30pm. how could i not be anxious, right? what makes me even more worried was that i had to go to the hotel earlier to pass amanda her dress so that she could change. fortunately, my hairdresser managed to do up my hair and make-up in time. my dad came home in time too to drive me to the hotel.
finally, i'd reached. amanda must have been quite anxious to get her dress from me. +_+ sorry amanda. the hotel room they booked was number 1912, on the 19th floor. (that's very high up! i was a little scared when we took the lift as i wondered what i was going to do if the lift broke down.) when i entered the hotel room, i felt rather awkward. everyone was busy tidying their, doing their make-up and so on. but i? i was just standing around doing nothing. sigh. am i a statue?
6.30pm. it was time to go to the ballroom. everybody were busy chatting away and catching up with their friends. the corridor and the ballroom were filled with voices. cameras were busy snapping away. videos were taken. the whole place was bustling with life.

dinner time!!! here are the dishes!
  1. cold dsh: mini octopus, jellyfish, roasted duck, egg (amanda was damn disgusted by the octopus. sylvia and i purposely ate it in front of her, biting the head of the octopus first. ewww.....! )
  2. shark's fin soup (so wasteful! there were 3 bowls left. oh brothers, i wish u were here to help finish the food. *guys can eat more. ^_^* )
  3. fried sesame chicken (alex, from another table, brought the head of the chicken in a glass to our table. so lame...=_=)
  4. coffee spare ribs (the coffee smell was very strong and we could guess what it was from a distance away.)
  5. steamed fish with soy sauce (the waiter left after deboning the fish. i helped to serve this dish to those sitting at my table. the fish tasted rather bland. but the sauce managed to salvage the overall taste. some said the fish was good, but i think otherwise. the meat was mushy, not too nice. well, i don't really like fish sold outside anyway. mum's fish is the best. oh! and my uncle's too! )
  6. spinach with abalone and mushroom (wasted again. so much leftover.)
  7. fried ee-foo mee (not bad but as usual- too oily)
  8. cream of peanut (absolutely disgusting. it was too watery. the consistency was not there. from a diatance, the smell of the peanut was very fragrant. but after having a small mouth, i didn't want to eat it anymore. i think the one sold at chinatown tasted much much better. and yes, i had it 2 days later on sunday 26/11 when i went to the market. this seemed to taste better than it usually was. i don't know if it was after the bad taste on friday 24/11 or it was really better.)

after dinner, music was played. people started to leave. some were still busy taking photos. (later i found out from ms tan s.h. on sunday when we were having 2c2 gathering that the music was played so that we could dance and have fun. Haha~! people were all rushing to go home!)

peili left early. she left before the spinach was served as she was flying off that night. but lucky we took a picture with her before she left.

amanda and gen decided to play a prank on tania and kejia. they wore the bathrobe and went barefoot to tania's room on the 13th floor. (when we left our room we took the wrong keycard-- the one that could not work with the lift and the hotel door but only worked to switch on the lights in the hotel room. and by the way, i was not barefoot. sylvia and they were.)

when we were in the lift, amanda and gen were 'rehearsing' and something happened. shh... this is a secret that is not to be told. only those who were present wwould know. outside tania's room, something happened too. we were rather noisy there and the people next door must have heard as they opened the door slightly to peep at us before slamming the door shut angrily.

hurriedly, we made our way back to our hotel room. we were in the lift when suddenly the lift stopped moving. there was a minor problem with all the lifts as they stopped operating from sometime. a fire alarm was sounded. curious, people were came out of their rooms and stood staring at the lifts. there was a huge gush of wind when we exit the lift at level 4. i don't know where the wind came from but it felt good. amanda and gen felt so awkward because of their dressing as i have mentioned. sylvia was not so bad since she was only barefooted.

the worse thing was that we could not enter the hotel room because of the faulty keycard. no choice, we had to call amanda feng to help us enter the room. she had the other card. thank goodness. we were all so stupid to have left our valuables(handphones and the other keycard) in the hotel room. i've learnt my lesson.

time to pack up as they wanted to go shopping and i had to go home. we parted. they left. i went home. oh, i had a hard time trying to wash off the hairspray which caused my hair to harden. yucks. my hair felt like plastic, or maybe rubber. the smell still lingered till the next day. awful!!!
