In Retrospect What Should Have Been

If my prom had been done in another way here's how i wished it had happened...

Wear: Bowtie and gold dye, although in tight circumstances black tie and silver colour hair wax works. Best if you hide poor hairstyles under a hat

Coming: No delays for the limousine. Ideally a few frens meet at a house and go off in a Merc in style, not a fren getting his fren from his house and then have another stop-over location. Best if the driver gives his name card and asks which radio station you want

Hotel: The magnificent and new world Grand Copthorne Waterfront, as opposed to the 90s chic of Meritus

Security: After the crashing fiasco, they decided to play crazy by chopping and staining the hands of each and everyone who came. As it turned out, Jeev and Tiru as well as a few repeats could legally buy tickets on humanitarian grounds, eliminating the threat of crashers

Opening: The poopy poppy aside, the magnificent garden of eden backdrop with a glass wall is what I call very impressive. I wonder why so few decided to book this hotel? The ballroom's on the small side though. The use of a red carpet accentuates the classical feel

Dinner: Variable serving time. Some of which ended up cold. At least these were mercifully ignored in favour of pictures

Drama: The lineup's better this time. If this showcased talent from the cohort, fine fine fine. Time After Time they decided to relieve Every Breath WE Took

Dance: Dancefloor not favoured. Except the councillors, who're missing out the party due to age restrictions

POST PROM

Given the thrifty nature of AJC ppl in general, and that Tuesday is quite a quiet night for clubs, HomeClub at Riverwalk gladly opened their doors to a horde of AJC ppl. Given that this was hastily arranged in 6 days(or 7 if you count midnight of wednesday), including countless smses sent clandestinely during church camp, the 'free party' surprisingly attracted quite a lot of AJ ppl, even as promotion had been kept to a minimum and that Earnest wasn't sure if it's happening

In the end 50 plus stayed through 3.30, amid the final song, Apologize by Timbaland, which everyone slowdanced away...and never seen before in a post prom...3 cheers for AJC. Even the deejays were bemused and it probably reminded them of their younger days =)

Shit
