Everton and Uni Hall Ball.
It was 6pm and people in my flat were starting to get ready. I just came back from town with some cash, as it was a cash bar. No EFTPOS at all. It wasn't too hard, trying to get ready. Make up, fitting into the ball dress, getting accessories ready. I basically wore the same thing I wore to Weir House Ball last year. I didn't have time (or the resources) to get another ball dress. And I'm wearing the same thing again next week for the CU & ICF Ball (2 balls, one week apart. Sigh..)
My flatmate was my date for the night. And he looked awesome. So did everyone in fact! Emma came by later with Andy, and we took some photos. After having a glass of wine, everyone was ready to go. So we left. My dear date-for-the-night was lovely: holding my arm while walking towards the shuttle, like a real gentleman, and paid nice compliments. "You look wonderful tonight, Fran." Like I said, everyone looked lovely.
The ball was at the Boatshed at Taranaki Wharf. Beautiful night. It wasn't too cold or windy, and that's rare in Wellington. While walking towards the venue my other dear flatmate held my other arm, and we walked into one of the most enjoyable nights yet. Date-for-the-night bought me Sauvignon Blanc, which is probably the only wine that I like to drink. Wines were 3 dollars, and beers were even cheaper I think. Two glasses was just right. Spend the first few minutes making small talk with people and catching up with friends that I haven't seen in ages. They served finger food, and there was a live band
Theme was Casino Royale. I should have brought a gun! (a fake one of course). So the boys were looking very James-Bond-ish, with bow ties and tuxedos. (Bow ties are NOT overrated. THEY'RE HOT! =D) And the girls were very elegant. Nice, beautiful dresses, and very sexy at the same time. Spend quite a while dancing, with date-for-the-night leading the way, falling back in his arms and him spinning me around. After that everyone just starting dancing with everyone else.
Left early because I was tired, and there's church in the morning. Received quite a few stares that says "What the hell?" But all in all, it was a really good night. One of the better balls I reckon. I said that to Pek Yi, and she went "AHEM!" Yeah I know. CU & ICF Ball would probably be better =)
