So, for this week...

I've watched two movies:


Paranormal Activity

and


Jennifer's Body.

Watched Paranormal Activity with Keith. The movie was AWESOME. Really scary and suspenseful. Just that the audience I was with consisted of shrieky girls, who with every footstep and banging door, would scream in ever-increasing decibels and let loose a whole slew of vulgarities. Amusing.

The Jennifer's Body part comes during the graduation lunch bit.

So. Graduation Lunch cum Etiquette Lesson.

Or, as we girls like to call it, our prom.

I woke up close to 9 and was nagged at by my mum. Flew out of bed, bathed, got into my dress, then let mum make up my face. Grabbed a coat and borrowed a silver bag from my mum, then my uncle sent me to Jurong Point so that I could meet with the girls at the interchange.













From there, we walked to Safra.



All of us made a detour to the Ladies':



Then headed upstairs to the Joy Garden ballroom, where we registered ourselves and sat at our assigned tables.


Some sort of concoction was served: lemon drinks, I think.









We (HEARRT) shared tables with Irsyad, Eugene, Boris and Karti.

There was a long speech made by our principal, Miss Tham, then our guest-of-honor, Ms Samantha Chia, made another speech too. We were also given a lesson on proper dining and etiquette. HONESTLY. An etiquette lesson during our PROM?!









Then the food arrived.













Bread and butter was...er, remarkably unremarkable.

Soup was probably from Campbell's.

I only ate the watermelon in the salad.

The fish and chips were cold. The fish tasted more like chicken and some bits were undercooked. The chips couldn't be skewered by our forks.

Mango pudding wasn't too bad, I liked it actually. But the condensed milk that came with it and was supposed to be eaten with the pudding was extremely sweet - even for me, the soon-to-be-diabetic.

The tea was horribly bitter. I threw it a coffee creamer and three packets of sugar, after which it tasted horribly sweet. Gave up.

During the meal, the teachers made speeches about their classes, we played table games, and a few musical talents performed acoustic sets onstage.

We left shortly after the entire lunch ended, at around 2.30.

Headed down to the lobby area and bought a Patrick balloon filled with helium.








I looked dumb.

The balloon is obscene. See my picture? Look at the where the string is tied around. That's right, Patrick the Starfish has, uh, a manhood. We're holding a balloon by the string, which is tied around Patrick's, um, thing.

Gawd.

Headed to Jurong Point, intending to watch Paranormal Activity (again, for me) with the girls. Unfortunately, timings were out and there was a possibility they'd check our ICs. Feezzah wasn't 16, and so we decided to head to West Mall instead because 2012 bookings were full. Rab had to leave, too.



So we took the train heading to Joo Koon so that we'd get seats, and that was when we started playing with the helium balloon. I had to give a blowjob to the balloon in order to suck the helium out. Gives the term "blowjob" a whole new meaning.



We all tried the helium and talked, and laughed very loud. My voice was the best, according to them, because I really sounded like a baby. ><

I got scolded by an old lady cradling a child, who told us to "Behave yourselves". Sorry!

Alighted at Jurong East and took the train to Westmall. We managed to get tickets for...

Jennifer's Body.

Dammit, it was one lousy movie. Stupid and dumb and plotless and pointless and utterly, completely ridiculous. The girls found it okay though. The only bit I actually liked about the show was how they made fun of struggling rock bands. Not to mention how awesome the soundtrack was.

After the movie we all headed home.

For an event that was supposed to mark the end of an educational period of our lives, it wasn't very memorable.
