prom prom prom!

prom was... okay.

expected better. but it was okay.

aiman was a true gentleman, i'll tell you that.

no blahness! haha. however, we have zero compatibility by the way. as friends we're ok but as a couple? haha. zilch. impossible. 2 hours before the night ended, i had no idea where he was. and didn't give a damn either. it became like a joke between me and my friends that night: 'where's your date??!!' 'i dunno! where's aiman?!!'. the boy wanted to have fun, let him have fun! we're not tied down anyways. the whole date thing was a joke and shouldn't be taken seriously. i can't believe i actually think about the date as a serious thing when it was actually an excuse to explain our situation. i wished we made it clear we're not dates, it'll be so much more fun minus the pretence. in fact, i told him from the start to 'feel free to check out girls and ask them out'. dancing with him was beyond aawwwkkwwaarrdd. couldn't. i ditched him on the dance floor. sorry :( haha.

i realised that i've done a whole lotta firsts this year. for a start, i actually danced on the dance floor that night! i thought it was an optional thing. like, if i don't want to it's okay. but heck, it wasn't. i went out to use the toilet and when i came back, all my friends on the table was gone. when i was about to feel small and invisible, syuhada came to my rescue. yes, mahfuz's syuhada. i hardly ever talk to her but she walked to me and was like 'why are you here? why aren't you with your friends? jom.' and with that, she took my hand (she has the softest hands honestly) and led me to the dancefloor. i knew i liked her!

when i finally found my friends, they're all high with adrenaline. they're like 'WHERE WERE YOU? C'MON LET'S DANCE LIKE CRAZEE. HAHA WHOO. OH YEAH.' haha. gg's dancing was insane, i tellya. that girl looks like she's drunk, shaking her ass like that on that night. haha. but of course she wasn't, no alcoholic drinks were served - they were served at another event. farisa and shafiq had their own dance-off. according to farisa, he won, though i can't tell the difference really. oh my god, diana and iskandar looked like they have been at it for ages. i mean, did you see the heat coming off them? i mean, it's like incredibly sexy ok. DIANA DAH MAJU DAH SEKARANG. hahhaha.

whereas i couldn't find aiman - this was the beginning of his disappearing act. apparently, he went looking for me, that's what he saidlah. so, when i realised all of 'em was paired off, i just grabbed shahir. haha. i was like, pretend that we're going out! it wasn't awkward - dancing with shahir. maybe it was because subconsciously, i knew he wasn't my date and i didn't have to impress him or anything. shahir keeps nudging me because he was surprised that i actually took this whole dancing thing seriously. like, i just didn't sway my body side by side but really danced. i don't know if i looked retarded that night. haha. did i??

we were shaking our assets, oh yeah! shaking shaking shaking.

then, when me and diana retired to the girl's room, that's when i realise the pounding in my head. i had to sit quietly for awhile for it to go away. the girls had a habit of hanging around the toilet that night. weird. i remembered iskandar was going all, where's diana?? because she's been gone in the toilet for a long time. the toilet was really nice and clean and comfortable though. after that, aiman got sick. as in he got himself a hell of a headache after dancing like crazy. you could actually see a vein throbbing on his forehead. and i was really scared he's gonna break into tears or something. since i'm with him that night, i figured i stayed out with him until he was better. i mean, i already ditched him on the dance floor, so i'd feel bad if i do it again. anyways, just as we were hanging around outside the entrance of the hall, we saw ashraf sinclair upclose!! he was our mc! at the beginning, i had already planned to take a picture with him. so both me and fawwaz - both totally starstruck by the way - was like all eager and excited. i had a picture with him and he had his arms around me when we posed!! OMG I WAS IN ASHRAF SINCLAIR'S ARMS. OMG. OHMYGAWD. HOTNESS!! fawwaz even had a picture taken with the guy! gg didn't - because she was so comfy hanging out in the girl's room. pfft. gg, that was such a wasted opportunity.

but after that, it got kinda boring for me because i didn't dance anymore. i think i was the only girl who was wearing a tudung AND dancing on the dancefloor. there was only 3 people tudung girls that night excluding me. it was actually more than i expected. i didn't dance because i had nobody to dance with. dancing with aiman proved to be uncomfortable. miza was dancing with everybody else's date. gg with fawwaz of course. farisa and shahrul naturally. diana was occupying herself by taking pictures with everyone who is willing to stand still. i was just hanging around at the entrance and taking pictures with random people when i heard this:

'so hot herre... so hot in herre! so hot herre - oh!'

oh my god. it was suddenly there's a zing running down my veins. like suddenly i'm connected mind, body and soul. i actually froze and bursting with this extreme giddiness. I HAVE TO DANCE TO THIS. I GOTTA. my brain is practically sizzling and whirring like crazy. i don't know why. i just know that i want to dance to this song because it is such a sexy bootylicious song. all through the night, not one song struck me more than nelly's 'hot in herre' track. it wasn't my song or anything but... omg! i just gotta! no explanation here! so i rushed to diana and was like, C'MON DIANA LET'S DANCE ITS THE HOT IN HERRE SONG. WE JUST GOTTA, C'MON. I MEAN, I HAVE NO ONE TO DANCE WITH. AND IT'LL JUST US BOTH AND NO ONE WILL SEE. PLEASE!!!

but she didn't want to. i moped all night. hahah.

i get didi's predicament though. unlike our other friends, we weren't exactly interested in dancing. it isn't our thing. i know clubbing isn't exactly my scene. BUT IT WAS THE NELLY SONG. i always sing this song when opportunity knocks - like the weather was scorching on the particular day etc. now, i'm listening to the track and i still feel the pang of regret. but i don't want to dance alone. shafiq was missing in action somehow. i thought he already went back but he didn't because shahrul asked me to call him since he's still in the building. at this point, farisa had already went home, so did shahir. so diana was my only option because gg, aiman and miza was m.i.a too. ALARGH. i moped when i noticed the song had changed to another track. ALAAAARGH.

at this point, the event was sorta blurry. lots of pictures taken. small talk made. blah di blah. kinda boring at this point. everytime i found aiman, he looked like he's gonna be sick. then, he's gone again. party hard, that guy. i think i look horrible that night. which is why i wasn't in the mood for taking pictures. i didn't even use up one memory card! which in my standard is impossible. omg before i forgot to mention this:

FAWWAZ WAS SMSU PROM KING 2006!!!!!!

i was seriously shocked when he was called up on stage. i didn't expect it at all! you see, throughout the year, we sort of expected aiman hakim to win. he was tall, handsome, athletic and the the school's football captain. i mean, hello, can his resume be topped by anyone else?? he was the perfect candidate and he was one of the nominees for prom king that night. i mean, fawwaz was hot too and had his own achievements but we NEVER expected him to be nominated at all. prom king wasn't fawwaz's thing anyways. i think nobody had expected his nomination. but by the time he was nominated, everyone knew he was going to win. the whole hall broke down with people screaming his name. the thing about fawwaz was he has a whole lotta friends and everyone loves him. everybody loves fawwaz! so yeah. our table screamed like crazy for fawwaz to show our support. Gg was jumping up and down in her expensive dress. iman's table was banging tables and glasses. i was hoarse from screaming fawwaz cute! fawwaz!!!! hotty!! oh wow. pretty much the highlight of the nightlah! by the time we wanted to choose the prom queen, i had already lost my voice. amelia foo won. no surprise there. you should see the official prom king and prom queen dance. fawwaz was being so stiff as though dancing with amelia spells PROMISCOUS. gg actually laughed.

later, fawwaz was like, aiman hakim should've won! this is the thing what i like about fawwaz. most guys would've just bragged endlessly about being prom king but not this guy. fawwaz, we chose you as prom king BECAUSE WE LOVE YOU, BABY!

and about iskandar. when hamiza asked me about what i think about iskandar, i replied without hesitation: iskandar is AWESOME. he is! i like him a lot! which is saying something as prom night was the first time i had ever talked to him. he was friendly, sociable, a gentleman (did you know that he actually rounded up the guys to put the girls' bags at a safe place while we were off dancing? oh, he won my heart already), a great dancer (proven when he danced with didi), easy to talk to, has a great personality and NORMAL. i could go on and on about this guy. seriously, he won all of diana's girlfriends' hearts that night. he is definitely approved for future relationships. and another thing is he is currently in college and he has a car. that's like bonus point, bonus point, bonus point! I WANT HIM TO BE A PERMANENT FIXTURE IN OUR SOCIAL CIRCLE.

no pressure or anything, diana. hahha. am such a bad-ass.

we finally went to miza's place at 1.30 am. i was sort of crabby at the time because my feet hurts and i was really tired. plus, i just got my period. the thing about having your period at social events is somewhat a convenience for the muslims obviously but you get tired easily and emotions run wild. i thought prom had ended at this point. i took a bath and felt clean and comfortable when suddenly, shameen announced that aiman hakim is picking us up.

THE NIGHT IS STILL YOUNG BABY.

time for the afterparty! we dressed into our t-shirts and comfy jean and put our sore feet in flip-flops. we just hung out really. nothing wild. but the fact that it is practically before dawn that makes the experience way surreal. i don't want to say much about this because... my cousins read my blog. gotta play it safe, ya know. haha. but it was a first time for me.


to tell you the truth, after blogging this whole thing made me realise that i did have fun in prom. there are some moments that i felt a bit... off though. i wasn't comfortable with myself that night. self-conscious running wild. i hate the pictures i had taken because i looked bad. ugh. there are some really boring parts though. but it was ok. hmmm. i am glad that i went for the afterparty thing. it prolongs the prom experience. azfar, i can't believe you weren't there! kiran was smoking hot, azzy! you would've enjoy it - seriously, i know you too well. i guess i enjoyed it in a way that i had never expected. as in, i had expected prom to be enjoyable but in a different form. am i confusing you? whateverlah!

i slept at 7 am. i woke up at 8.30 am. i slept for only an hour plus!

-- i had my first date with aiman! oh my god! this just occured to me!
