Viva La (Un)Glam 2009

yesterday was prom 2009 and boy, i have never felt this tired. having hangover now with bad headache and a sore throat... 今日不如往年 (today not like last time... i.e. old liao)...

so anyway, PPC and i reached college at 12pm and we doodeedoodeedoo... where is everybody??? so we decided to wait in the club room. PPC surveyed the stuff on the ground to check that they have packed everything...

erfie was the first to arrive followed by the rest so we loaded the stuff into PPC's fit and my new beetle. the weather was so hot and i was sweating like a cow in my dress and boots... PPC spotted a "sweat mark" on my dress

PPC: is that sweat or...?
me: AAHHH!!! so unglam!!!
PPC: leave it to the kids la...

so i stayed in the car with the air con on full blast... =D we went down to Marriott with shruthi and soon hao in my car... soon hao ZZZZZ all the way while shruthi and i jujujujujuju chatted.

we were about to arrive so shruthi called kenny...

S: hey we're reaching... go to the carpark...
K: which car park?
S: erm... basement carpark or something...
K: there are all sorts of car parks here neh...
S: *to me* kenny say there are all sorts of car parks there so we'll let him know when we reach...

so we finally reached and unloaded everything. Marriott's lift is v stupid one. we parked on level 4, ballroom at level 3 but we had to go to level 1 then switch lift to level 3 -.-

then i went to do my hair (so someone pls fill in the blanks here... hehehe)

i came back with apple and mango strudel for the kids and teriyaki chicken sandwich for PPC...

then chin yee / erfie decided to test print something and somehow, one of the printers seemed to be sleeping. while the other printer was chki chki chki printing, this printer was zzz.... not doing work... PPC was called and he lifted up the cover... still zzz... message on macbook read "install print head" or something...

PPC: ???!!!

open other printer cover and check..

PPC: how come that printer is not moving and no lights???
chin yee: ??? *sweat*
PPC: where's the manual???
erfie passed him the manual...
PPC: where's the print head???
the kids: ???!!!
someone: is it the thing in the aluminium packet??
someone else: it's in club room...
PPC: !!!!!!! *breathe out fire... control* =D ms koh, i need a favour...
me: what?
PPC: can you go back to college??
me: ???!!!! now??? is it still open?
PPC: yes yes...
me: wa but now go and come back with jam can make it meh?? buy from funan? someone's there buying paper right?
PPC: >.< cannot buy print head one la!
me: oh... ok...
PPC: chin yee! you go w ms koh!

so we chiong out of hotel... before i left...

me: LEAVE ONE MANGO STRUDEL for me ha!!!

so i took chin yee and fly car down to college... in the hotel lift...

chin yee: *phew* i thought Mr Cheng is gonna shouted at me... but he didn't =P
me: =D he control... =D

i zhiooped here zhiiooped there and finally reached college.... chin yee jumped out of the car and zhioooped up club room while i tried to perch my car behind Mrs Pang's car but was too kancheong i stepped accelerator instead of brakes >.<||| heng ah, during driving lesson there was a component in which you have to step on the brakes during emergency. it's called E brake... so i applied E brake and avoided langah-ing her car... *pats chest*

went back to hotel...

shruthi: =D sorry... ms koh... we forgot...
erfie: =DDD
me: ya lor... u all ha... never check properly... thank goodness college is still open er!
shruthi: i mean... the... mango... strudel...
me: what?
shruthi: we didn't know it was mango... so we ate everything... then mr cheng said it's mango and we were like oh no!
me: =(( you ate my mango strudel!!!
shruthi: =DDD sorry... you look really good today!!! =DDDD
me: -.-

install print head... everything worked fine so we opened shop!

business was slow in the beginning perhaps because some people thought once we "click" we'd charge them money... so the kids had to explain to them how it worked and tried to pull in business...

wa, then at donno what time, business started picking up and for some funny reason, this year we didn't have many couples so PPC n i didn't get a chance to do our taiwanese wedding photo thingy hehehe... the groups were so large everytime they told us their sizes we'd -____-|||

me: how many people?
them: 20!

me: how many people?
them: 22!
PPC: maximum 20!
them: can la!

kk try... wa can...

me: how many people?
them: 24!!
me: ha???!!!!
PPC: cannot cannot!
them: can la

kk.... ngeh ngeh-ly squeeeeeeeeeezeeee arggh argggh ah ah... wa, can man... record 24!

so because there were so many large groups, with the movement of chairs and people (in stilettos -.-) our backdrop became like giam chye (salted veg...)

robert: hehehe... our paper look more like cloth! =D

there were tears, holes etc.... we tried folding the paper under then after a while we hack la! cut la...! think that was the first time we ever cut backdrop DURING prom shoot... LOL

after that everyone looked v v tired and unglam... i sent two of the non-excos home first while PPC went w exco to newton (eat supper is v bad... grow fat =P) then i think after that the kids decided to wait it out at the airport O.O with soon hao wearing pink head band and eating donno what... to take the first bus back to college...

phew! everyone worked hard and everyone was exhausted... well done, kids! ^^

oh, elliot looked v cool, chin chye looked like forbes' entrepreneur of the year, zheng hui looked smart, vicky looked elegant, shirleen looked like chun li, vanessa looked sexy and angeline... wow, v sweet pretty ^^ phoebe looked like a princess, sharon looked like she came from harajuku and kwan yee looked... shy hahaha... woot!
