My first time attending a graduation ball, or rather more commonly known as prom night was after I finished my STPM examination. My best friend and I were really excited to attend the ball. In fact, we went shopping for our dresses two months before the event. At that time, we were supposed to be studying hard because our exam was in a month's time but we did not and we actually went on a prom dress hunting trip.
It was so much fun and excitement searching for the right dress together with my best friend. We went into each and every shops in Sunway Pyramid to check out their dresses. We actually spent half a day in the shopping mall. We browsed through the dresses and tried on the "high potential" ones. We had so much fun trying on different types of dresses. We were each other's fashion consultant. "No, not this one. It is too short.", "This colour does not suit you, my dear. Try out the white one.". These are some of our professional advices to one another. This whole thing - shopping with my best friend, meant a lot to me because I am the only daugther in my family, and I have longed for a sister so that I can go shopping with her.
Back to the dress, I have to admit that I have a fond for tube dress. I really like tube dress but I do not mind getting a halter neck dress as long as I look nice in it. However, I do have luck on that day because I managed to find a nice tube dress. The dress was available in four colours: black, peach, green and purple. I tried on the black and peach ones. I put on the peach one first and I was like, "Oh my, I really like this peach tube dress. Tube dress, peach colour, both my favourite." But I stopped to think for a moment and yes, I realised that this peach dress is more suitable as an outfit for a bridesmaid rather than as a prom dress. So I tried out the black one. "How gorgeous is this dress." This was on my mind at that moment. I liked this dress very much too. This black dress has an additional advantage whereby it made me look slimmer. Then, I asked my friend for opinion, whether I should take the peach one or the black one. Well, we had the same thinking and therefore I got the black one.
My friend managed to get a beautiful fuchsia dress. The dress was really fitting but luckily it was stretchable. People would really need help in putting on this kind of dress. Therefore, I actually went into the fitting room with her and gave her a hand by pulling her dress down because it was too fitting that it got stuck at her shoulders and she could not pull it down by herself. After that, I told her not to wear that dress when nobody is around because she can really get stucked in this kind of dress. But it is definitely worth going through this kind of small matter because she looked beautiful in that dress.
Mission accomplished. We went home happily because we managed to find the suitable dress that we like. After finding the right dress, we were supposed to start studying hard for the upcoming major exam but we did not. Instead, we started planning our next agenda - where and how should we style our hair for the prom. Well, this is us. My friend and I, we do not really like studying, and our way of studying is different from normal people. We always study last minute. When I said last minute, I really meant it. Normally, we would start studying two to three days before the exam, and the most is one week before but nothing longer than that. I am still wondering how we managed to pass the exam. But this is my life, so I decide how I should study and how I live my life. I want to excel in my studies but I also want to enjoy my life at the same time and I do not want to miss out any fun parts in my life. Therefore, I do not care about how other people study as long as I can cope with my studies and I can live my life the way I want.
