To kick things off, I would have liked it better if it was "2009 KPMG Commerce Ball" instead. =P In what may well turn out to be my first and last Ball that I attend at Monash University, maybe I can consider this to be my Graduation Ball all the same. I've always wanted to attend a Ball over here, just to experience how Univeristy Balls are like, and how different are the Balls here as compared to the ones in Singapore.
True enough, it turned out to be very different from what I had come to expect. The Glam Factor certainly wasn't lacking, with the guys looking pretty much the same for everyone, while the ladies dressed to impress. Gone are the performances and host for the evening... and in comes the dancefloor and free-flow alcohol. It didn't take too long after the main was served that the music was blasted through the dinner hall and the people starting to flock to the dancefloor, partying away. From then on, the ball was effectively a massive club with 1,200 pax. The drinks counters at both ends of the hall busy dishing out tequilas..vodka limes.. and EXPIRED beer. I'm lucky I'm still alive here typing this. LoL. In any case, the combination of alcohol and dancefloor proved irresistable for many, with many presumable-couples already locked in cuddles and kissing like there's no tomorrow. 0_o I can safely say my table was arguably the most boring of the 100-or-so tables, merely cam-whoring away without the partying bit.
