SIN Assignment 1: Monash Ball Report
Prologue
All balls have the same common problems. This would of course involve initial planning such as transportation issues. Then, there is the difficulty of getting everyone in the group to be prepared early on time. Yes, not everyone was as efficient as it seems, Ben n me were sorta late due to (Not mentioning here, only the A.B.C combo gang would know), but that didn’t match the time Calie took, so we definitely won’t feel that guilty. Hey, not bad edi k, I only had 10 mins to bathe and get dressed up for the ball. Indeed in order to do so I made a huge mess just to find the attire I already planned to wear. Funny thing was me n Ben even had time to shop for comics despite the rush.
The Arrival
Yep, everyone was already at the front of the foyer, all almost dead cause of Malaysia’s heat, not many people can maintain calm and be less effected by heat like me. After Calie finally made her majestic appearance, we didn’t see any much of a complex style worth the time we waited. Based on the crowd’s opinion, SY’s hair was more admirable. TY which is normally late was there early cuz he followed SY which already got there around 4.10 (The time she called me, me n Ben were in the taxi on the way back to change then). I dunno how to compare the guys lar, shud ask Alvin for this part cuz he will observe guys more. His observation got skill wan, u wont notice him staring and analyzing you, nor catch him observing someone until he starts making comments and then you would know. Soon as the group was on the move, I grabbed Alvin, cuz we needed sum1 to pay the toll.
Assaulting the Palace
We went in 4 separate Hum-Vee’s, the driver’s were SY, Ben, TY and Daniel. All of them are crazy drivers. Ben says Dan’s driving will one day turn him from Shadow Wolf to Spirit Wolf ;), Ben normally drives safely but with me and Alvin the world takes a dangerous turn. SY smartly chose all the girls that behaved well so she can concentrate on driving. Calie was seen continuously making faces at our trailing car as me and Alvin disturbed then via spamming. Alvin got corrupted by me ledi, he even spammed more than me. TY’s driving spooked his friend, the death chariot indeed. Personally, I can’t wait to experience TY’s driving cuz I like roller coaster rides.
Closing In on The Horses
We arrived there as early around 6 plus because there was no traffic jam unlike our expectations. The event was supposed to begin around 7.00 p.m. but the hall was still brimming with empty space around each corner. CW was already there since she’s handling the ticketing for the ball along with C2. CW was clad in smooth golden attire while C2 wore wavy vengeance red. Alvin commented on CW but I think only me and Ben were around to listen that time. Dan and the rest arrived not long after. Around 7 plus, there was almost nowhere to stand but alls cool and our group was still happily taking photos to keep entertained.
Entering the Hall Room
It was nearing 8 and guests were finally allowed to enter. However, most of the tables were still empty with missing hosts. Again, much chatting at the round table. Monga table was empty as well. Around 8 plus, tables began to fill and the event started off with a range of cool synchs to show off the committee’s well invested sound system. I would skip the timelined events as I have no interest to cover that section. You know what you saw and that’s it. CA covers internal prospects and hidden agenda’s alone. As expected I didn’t really like sitting with the Monga bunch as I weren’t interested in getting too close with that bunch, so I planned a table jump after the chicken was served. However, time took a slow depressional turn as TY takes almost forever taking pics near the stage for me to keep my social bar at green (refer to sims). Even if he did return, it was just momentarily enough for him to quickly gobble up a few slice or two of his dish before speeding off again. One serving before the chicken came, CW insisted I switched tables already. Really thankful for that cuz some of the Monga peeps were looking at me weirdly as though why am I so quiet, and one of them communication students went up to me for a lil chat, I showed no interest and really ended up like a shy guy cuz it was impossible for me to just shoo her off instantly. I turned my head towards the place and things were getting really awkward so yea, CW really helped in getting me over to the fun table!! Why fun? Cuz it was most probly the only table that reached an extended patron of 13 people. Even TY’s friend moved over, so that means everyone that was with us on the journey there ended up sitting on the same table, except for Jinny. There were few moments whereby CW got annoyed by Alvin, Ben, and YK for laughing I think. Too far away that time (I was smiling at the incident as well), but since I normally smile dun think she’ll blame me much.
Internal events (Not in order, nor clearly defined)
- Alvin still smoked no matter how formal his image was
- Alvin sang along with CW during one of the performances, didn’t really bother, since Calie was also singing softly and was much nearer I couldn’t decide whether the Alvin + CW duet was a bad combo.
- CW and Elaine went missing together a lot. Networking around probly.
- Penny gave us the biggest surprise as her hairdo was something different than expected, it was…err…folded up high. Looks nice altogether, stunning indeed. Equal amount of compliment to all of the girls I would say.
- Dan was entertaining TY’s friend after she moved over since TY wasn’t around. Mostly, only Calie and Dan engaged in long conversations with her. See, I don’t even know her name yet.
- I managed to collect more treasure shots. Had to personally request them or else the event would go to waste. I was missing CIMP theme days so this would have to compensate.
- SY should be cast away from food each until each performance ends because she can really grasp the hidden humour in most of em. Leech should have been there.
- There was this one time CW took ZZ out for sumthin I was not sure of, since I wasn’t paying attention. But I headed out the hall same time they did for a quick relief. They were taking pics here n there, yea the ball has many good memories to capture, I would have gone picture frenzy as well if I took my camera along. I tagged along CW and ZZ a bit for some teasing fun and then headed back in to catch up with the gang.
- TY was the last to move to our table. Actually there was no space for a 13th person on one table, but its just not fair to leave him on Monga table oso (yaya I was getting guilty for changing table), so I requested Alvin, ZZ and YK to cram more closer to CW and C2’s seat, so wallah!! History is made.
- (To be added in future if I remember anything else)
Following the Ball's theme
We escaped the Royal escapade near its ending ;) for a short while of mamak fun. Our planned escape had a certain glitch since Jinny needed to follow SY and we left midway without her. The group sought refuge at a Petronas kiosk station. Dan drove so fast he nearly went pass the station, Ben had to made a U-turn to redirect TY in case I couldn’t contact him in time, haha so much fun. Much later we regrouped as planned.
I didn’t wanna be out too late so I left around 1 with Ben. Poor fella suddenly got sick around mamak time, no wonder he ordered mineral water earlier then, I was already suspecting something. We shud stray away from that Curry House place actually, each time sure will have one order wrong or late food arrival wan.
Conclusion
A memorable time indeed, at least Monash doesn’t seem so dull now, a good way to forget the packed assignments during the holidays.
