GRADUATION BALL 2006 - DELAYED TELECAST

It was a fine evening today, weather was perfect, fine enough to wear sleeveless, and dresses. A perfect weather to have our grad ball at Matilda's, just around the corner from where most of the people from college lives. It was an eventful evening, lotsa craziness, fun, and merrymaking. Almost everyone at the party let their hair down (not literally), even the teachers, and it was fantastic!!!Most of the final year students (that's my class) turned up, along with their other half, and the 2nd and 1st year gave their support. Almost everyone made the effort to dress up as gorgeous as they could, with hair neatly and creatively done up, make-up carefully prepared, dresses and frocks, stilettos, strappy heels, and complete with full accessories. Their male other half were in suits, and some in shirts and trousers... making every effort to have a great time, despite surrounded by outbursting radically behaved 'ballerinas' The teachers made lotsa effort by turning up, and having a wonderful time. They each brought their partners, and all of them let their hair down, and danced on the dancefloor as if there was no tomorrow. There was no shyness, or embarassment whatsoever, everyone comfortable in their own skin, dancing the various 'creative and unique' dance moves ever... Apart from just the dancefloor to entertain us, we had casino too. There was blackjack, roulette and wheel of fortune, which I didn't participate in any. In the midst of all the merrymaking, it hit me that this chapter in my life is coming to an end, its means I won't get to do another ballet class with some of my beloved classmates. It was upsetting, and heartbreaking moment for me. Memories of my 1st year at the academy came flashing back at me. The first girl that came to talk to me, and befriended me was Georgia, a wonderful Cyprian. She is the most enduring, loveliest and amazing girl I've met during my 3 years here. She always listens to my whinges and complains, and we enjoyed dancing together in the middle barre in class, revising our anatomy, and of cos, something we shared, running home together in the rain one day. We shared so much laughters together, and I believe we will be sharing lots of tears too when the time comes for us to be separated. I am very honored and pleased that I was her first friend in school, and so was she to me. I think I could write about everyone in class, but I dun think that will be necessary... Anyway... i realised something today... to begin with, if you put a massive bunch of girls together in a class for 3 years, there are bound to be bitchiness around.. but it was a pleasant sight to watch this evening, that despite we all have our differences and grudges, all these negative feelings were discarded and there was a sense of positive energy around the air... 'enemy were dancing and hanging out with enemy', the 'populars' were hanging out with the 'wallflowers' It was a splendid sight. the teachers were just fantastic. They disregard their 'status' and simply just be themselves, and they are having a great time. the pleasing sight was to see michelle (my year tutor) dancing to Take That, and her dancing provacatively with her partner... Finally, a different side of the teacher... Its late, and I need to hit the sheets... will post more pix next time... Watch this space :p
