prom was basically great, ok? i didn't expect the food to be of quite-ok standard :O and the female ducklings in RJC transformed into SWANS (if only they stayed as swans :P) although i MUST say that some had outrageously odd costumes :S shan't describe them here la dun so mean to them - it ought to be THE NIGHT to remember from JC life... i must say i was stunned or mesmerised by a few girls that night HAHAHA

flickr takes too long to upload, and has a yucky size limit! shutterfly has none of that but can't link :@ i'm going to use blogger instead, although it is also quite slow. oh, hurry up or i'll cut this entry short...

so, here's a few pics of girls!



they are hui min, malisa, wendy (3 flowers from mep class)

ok anyway, before i lose interest in blogging this (and i gtg soon), "the link" at shangri-la hotel simply rocks! i went there for the buffet dinner ytd (uncle's treat), er that wld b the day after prom, anw the only possible complaint anyone can have is the hefty price - 68+++ per pax!!! i think our bill amounted to abt 90 per person :S anyway, their decor is like, totally ORANGE, from the table mat to the lights to the... aiya a lot of orange.. and they have a range of food, frm indian to jap to (quite a bit of) chinese to some western to seafood!!! ahhh seafood... ok the other thing is that the link has lots of different cultures of food all in one, but each has not so much to offer (e.g. there's less than 10 varieties of dim sum available) so it's more of jetting around the world in double quick time kind of thing... but of course quality is really good - i haven't tasted food which isn't too strong for quite a long time! the tastes are really clear and all... and presentation is cool! esp the seafood one where they arrange the prawns, scallops, oysters etc neatly on ice... OHOH the bestest thing: CHOCOLATE FONDUE AND DESSERTS AND ICE CREAM!!!! there's a fairly large chocolate fountain and the ice cream parlour (altho it has few flavours to choose from) allows you to mix flavours and add titbits to it! like for instance, strawberry and coconut ice cream mixed wif kacang putih and nuts and blah blah... the ice cream vendor uses 2 spade-like things to mash everything together on a frosted metal slab omg so cool!

here they are:





sorry la too busy eating and feeling horrendously full to take too many pics



dark chocolate fondue can?!?!?!
back to THE SWANS...



that's ivee and me yep! argh i look the same in every photo...

while that's being uploaded, i think i must live more frugally! my parents can't sustain my lifestyle la aiyo! party here clothes there, food everywhere, money just leaks out, no, gushes out like a dam with holes : S

moving on,
