Livin Da Life - Past Tense

After all the long stupid preparations, the last minute rehearsals, the harried gift buying, the shoe polishing and 1 hour showers, hair
dyeing its FINALLY here!!!
Friday 4.30 pm. went out to buy some fresh roses (one of which later got stolen! Curse you robber!) for Ji Lu, as i asked her to be my date earlier. so nice of her to say yes!..and then went back to find Ursula buzzing like one crazy living organism, every cell doing their own things (lol that sounds soooo BIO). Showered for ONE HOUR!!! its cos i had to spray on purple dye later, so had to get ready. Ahem... the arsenal includes Follow Me Green Tea shampoo, Natures Organics conditioner, Dettol Fresh Fragrance, Exfoliac Peaux Jeunes Cleansing Gel, Natural Selections Vit E & Honey Soap, and the finishing touch was Jojoba Shampoo Conditioner and Shower Gel. (What the heck is Jojoba???? ...but it was good stuff)
And then had to dry my hair, styled with Helena Pro Hair Lacquer Gel, with a light coat of white and purple hair spray each. Thanks Chern for helping!

5.30 pm. had to rush a bit, as i told Ji Lu i would be picking her up at 6.20... Applied SebaMed moisturizer to face, brushed teeth AND tongue with Colgate Advanced Whitening, applied Banana Boat lip balm. SET!
Now just had to put on my clothes...

6.20pm. OMgoodness Ji Lu looks stunning in a pink strap dress! Lol its funny that she got guys to do her hair for her. But anyway we jumped into the bus and were on our way!

After about 20 minutes, we got to the Racetrack Clubhouse. The place was nice... but i've seen better. lol there was a band and stuff. Actually i dont know how to describe the whole thing.. it was more of photo taking oppurtunities and dining and dancing and stuff...

We guys bought a cigar each for the event. haha it was really funny cos they were all cheap brands that tasted bad. One of the bad things was, there was NO ball room dancing!! how can a ball not have slow dancing? but then i think it all worked out in the end cos everyone had tons of fun. I think the free flow of wine and champagne helped too. The company was really nice, with lots of social talk and stuff. After that we got together for LOTS of group photos and just mixed around. It was really cool to see all the normal people i see everyday look their best. thats why i like balls!

oh yea and what blog from me would be complete without some mention of food?? I'll let the pics speak for themselves. Chicken with avocado salad, beef and potatoes, and chocolate tripe mousse with strawberries. YUM!

11.30 pm .the bus took us back. but then the night was still young! woohoo!! out to mooseheads for some fun!!! Lol by then everyone had a little too much to drink (wanted to get our moneys worth) and some people couldnt go out haha. Mooseheads was alrite. a little dancing helped clear my head lol. And then we found $20 on the road!! Than GOd!! wohoo! chicken gourmet was even kinder and gave us an extra large chips lol. on top of that we took a taxi back lol. I think that night must have been one of the best outings to Moose cos such good luck.

3.30am i got back ... took a shower, went online and then finally got some sleep. The day was over.

Sat 18th August had a recovery BBQ!! but i dont think it really helped cos there was beer and vodka for free haha. But the food was great. Lol some Red Bull reps cam and distributed free cans. That was really bad cos it kept me awake the hole afternoon! And then i spent the whole day getting pics from everyone.

Today at church we had PIZZA for lunch!! oh when will the good food end???? not that i'm complaining lol.
Haha.. looking back... i dont think it was just me at that ball. Before the day started i prayed for wisdom. Cos i my big mouth usually messes things up lol. But thank God i had a blast! wohoo!

And thats all... Some pics on Facebook (friendster loosing its appeal for me).
And email me if you want more pics
