Formal (Y)

As many people would agree, the formal was pretty damn awesome. Sucks to be those who missed out, in particular those who could've gone but couldn't be bothered to go. Assuming their reason for not going was that they did not expect the formal to be good, I find this reason acceptable. I personally did not have a great expectation of the formal, thinking that it would be similar to our Year 6 Formal where we all just stood around and talked and did a congo line. However, this formal was much better than I expected, because we stood around and talked, ate fairly decent food (imo), "danced" to doof-doof music AND did a congo line.

Pre-Formal was pretty epic, I must say, watching all these people come up in fancy dresses and suits when we usually see them in the plain ol' school uniform. The Hummer Limo was a probably a little too extravagant for Year 10. Props to a couple of people who looked slightly ridiculous but awesome at the same time, like those people in silver suits and/or bowties. Special mention to Ting, who came in a DOTTED TIE, which is risk-ay enough, but then I found out that the tie was a CHRISTMAS TIE! Ridiculous, Justin, just ridiculous. Not bad, just ridiculous. Also, Stuart. He came in a suit with a BOW TIE AND A TOP HAT! TOP HAT! He did try to wear a monocle, which wasn't really a monocle because it was just a plastic ring with a removeable plastic pane, but it was too big to fit in his eye. He should've won the Best Dressed Male Award, which went to Matt who just came in a plain ol' suit.

I think people were complaining about the food. I know Tim and Stuart just stopped eating, but I personally thought the food was alright. There was rice and meat, so I was satisfied. It was fairly decent, although I (and the rest of my table) noticed that the butter for the giant appetisers looked like urinal cakes. Anybody share the same perspective? Dessert probably the best part, with the pavalova and all. How FREAKIN' INTENSE was the Chocolate Dessert?! HOLY SHIT, that chocolate was strong. Came at you like a friggin' FREIGHT TRAIN!

The music wasn't TOO bad, the fact that it was mostly mainstream was why so many people dancing to it. It started with jumping music, but then it was grinding music at the end, which I thought was a bit weird. Also, Single Ladies dance. That was awesome. I need to learn that. If anybody knows the moves to that, please teach me.

The best bit was probably the aftermath, where everybody tried to calm down. Almost every chick too off their heels, and many people were sweating. Profusely. Our table started stealing other people's Coke jugs cos we were so goddamn thirsty. Gabi was 'whoo'-ing at everything. We came to the conclusion that she was high on water. God knows what she'd be like on alcohol.
