electricity in the air

it was a lovely end of the week, end of the month. with wine and friends saying funny things and doing stupid, but very essential, preppy crapping. a bit like a dream. you know. being dizzy. being young. i witnessed mingyao's convocation ceremony with his parents and helped him to take shots with the mighty d2h. it was fun and i was proud. oh. it was hot.

on friday we met early and had a secret something. we bought beer and chilli cheese fries from carl's junior (ah! meat!) and he made me his special concoction of vodka peach and fanta blast. that was strong. nearly knocked me silly. anyway we spent the afternoon lazing away without a care in the world. now of course we had cares but it was pretend time eh, a momentary voluntary sweet fib to ourselves. so we were enjoying each other's company in the silence and in front of cable tv (oh tv! oh cable tv! oh american trash! reruns of oprah and valentino) before getting ready for his convocation ball at the conrad continnental hotel. it was the same hall where leech got married last saturday. very classy place, with mirrors and a wide spiral staircase and bellhops bowing to you and all.

so then he was so cute posing in his suit and brown shirt. styling your hair with gel is an art. he says whilst primping and admiring himself in the mirror. wahaha. oh! i admired you too when you were and were not looking. i guess you could tell that from my eyes that i thought you were cute. i had on a new black and white flower print chiffon dress with a black satin waist band and my ususal trusty chic gold pointy stilettos from topshop. the killer touch that distracts the whole assemble. it was really fun, helping him to take photos of him and his friends and talking to joni and the rest. the dinner itself was rather boring. chinese food. asparagus. no good. but the salty chicken was alright. the program was predictably cheesy. but i'm glad he had fun just being in the company of his buddies. dang though! that i did not win the superb lucky draw prizes. after that we opened a bottle of red wine and had supper from lavendar food center. the guys were off their rockers. they bought every mandatory supper dish!char kway teow, beef kway teow, chicken wings, fried carrot cake and hokkein mee. but it was a necessary way to end the night. mingyao was right. it was a good break for me. it was lovely. very prom. very fitzgerald and very preppy. like a dash of salinger. just the way it should be.

Oh, it's true
I can't let go
I miss you, oh you know
