Hi guys!
On 30th April, the freshmen and sophomore student council held the annual Morp (Prom spelt backwards) at Forest Manor. It's basically prom for underclassmen.
Since I'm in Stuco, I had to go set up. And of course, I had to set up the photo booth and the lighting equipment. It actually took the photo booth committee a REALLY long time. I was seriously exhausted after setting up. We had to drape the backdrop over some stands on a ledge and we kept climbing up and down to make sure everything looked good. I'm so glad that the backdrop looks nice in the end.
I was trying to have fun until a freshmen from the freshmen council told me that my tripod fell off the table... And I'm like ok... How did you guys even manage that. And then they told me that it seemed broken. So now I have to buy a new tripod.
I didn't have to do shifts till 8:30pm so I was hanging out with my friends like Nicole and many others. I felt that the dance was better than the sophomore dance since the venue was bigger. But the music was not particularly what I wished for at a dance. Like it was all mashups and no one was really dancing...
Here are some photos I took with friends!
Hannah Ng.
Nicole and Victoria. I am so upset that this photo is not in focus. Like why do people always take bad photos for me and the photos I take for other people are always perfect.
Yup gotta have this pose.
Nicole!
Hannah Tan.
Katherine.
Victoria.
The signature pose.
Overall, I think that the dance was pretty good. A lot of people came and they all seemed to be having a lot of fun with their friends.
But the dance ended really badly for me. When I was packing up the lighting equipment, I found out that one part of my camera was out of place. A side of the built in flash of my camera was protruding out while the other side was fine, and I could not shut the flash. I was so freaking pissed off. Well obviously someone dropped my camera. The flash wouldn't just become deformed all of a sudden. The thought of someone dropping my camera just pisses me off so much. I don't care what the reason of dropping my camera was. You have the responsibility to take care of it and you better live up to it. I don't even drop my own camera and if it's someone else's camera, you should be extra careful.
Cost is not the most important thing. You don't know what this camera means to me. And you know why it's so precious to me? The story is: An elderly lady won this camera during a lottery but she didn't need it and my previous crush's father bought it, thinking he could give it to the crush's sister, but she did not need the camera. However, I wanted a camera and so he sold it to me at the price his father bought from the elderly lady. We both didn't want to carry so much cash to school and since it happened to be December, he came to my house and gave it to me on New Year's Eve of 2011. I still remember everything that happened that night and the joy that rushed through every single vein in my body. This camera is basically the only perfect thing I have left of my previous crush after coming to Shanghai. If this does not show how much I value my camera, I don't know what else I can say other than the fact that photography is my thing.
I guess I should get the flash replaced. But you don't even understand how busy I am. And plus, my camera is not in the conventional black color, it's like a dark silver color, so it makes it even harder to find a replacement. Is it fair to add so much more stress on someone else because of your silly mistake?
So.
Enough of the depressing stuff.
Outfit time.
