pre-prom crazyness! .. part 1 of the huge photo upload
it's hard to believe that only 24 hours ago we were dancing the night away, coming to the end of the day that we had looked forward to for so long... and i really should be getting to sleep sometime soon, but it's too hard to let my brain shut down! so for now, procrastination! and of course, prom wouldn't be prom without all the hours of fabulous prep before hand!
Started off the morning bright and early with Lorraine to set up
Lining up all the vases and bowls...
Lorraine shows off her awesome flower arranging skills
one of the finished products!
i love the glass beads!
Then it was back to Fairview to get the hair done! And while i was there I ran into Rachel!
My hair took a lot longer than originally anticipated... (and i'm only taking it out now, and so far i've counted 52 bobby pins and that's only half my head!)
Then it was time for the pre-prom festivities to
Before everyone arrived at my place, I got a photo with my mama!
Then my oldest bud (in age and in the number of years i've known her! wow nishi, 8 years!!)
I still say anisha had the prettiest dress
Then Tao, Rich, and Yufei arrived
Sisters!
And Peter stopped by
Tao and Nishi
Then our favourite Yinger arrived!
And her mommy!
aquila and orion strike again!
group shot #1!
ooo scandalous!
cuz girls just wanna have fun!
very exotic!
And of course what good would the party be without lots of food!
Me and Rich!
Yinger et moi!
Food, fruit and a beautiful chocolate fountain that anisha brought!
cheers!
family portrait! (minus kai!)
Then Yolanda arrived,
Me and soni were both in pink!
Amy and her mom!
fab four!
strike a pose!
Me and my mommy!
Me and the amester!
The secret lucky penny!
Derek arrived!
And Peter came back in his suit!
Time for the individual candids!
Arthur looking all sophisticated!
hehe I love the red bow tie!
Derek looking snazzy!
Margie had the cutest little clips in her hair!
Anna in a beautiful DRESS!
Amy's the cutest!
Ying ... need i say more?
Nishi looking spectacular in her traditional indian dress!
Green is such a pretty colour on you Yolanda!
Yufei's so handsome!
Rich is very swank swank!
Bench shots!
Ying-a-ling!

*slurp!*
More mom photos!
hehe, everyone seems to have the signature shot of peter looking confused!
girlies!
Yolanda and her angels!
And me and the boys!

amy and her body guards!

Peter's such a fob!
Yufei likes his women strong!
ooo rich is so sexy!

This isn't the best shot, but it's funny because of the reactions... someone had just dropped yolanda's camera, which explains the shocked expressions on her, richard and ying's faces... but the smiles are still plastered on tao and my faces!
Group shot (minus Ingrid who was late because of hair appointments! I can't believe what bad timing! We'll have to photoshop you in ingrid!)
