Year 12 Formal @ Le Montage

Yes. Shaun sent me photos and his commentary. I'll just copy paste them here and maybe add my own opinions.

Oh before we start, I'd like to state, now, that I will stop hating on Le Montage because it is too late to do anything now. On the day of the formal, everyone will be excited NO MATTER where the location may be, so I'll live with it. :) And the day after the formal I'd say "wow that was fun" no matter where the location would have been so X)

Let the photospam begin :)

Deane's lobby:This one's a lil out of focus, but this will be the lobby for our actual function room. The function room is actually on a separate level...accessed by a nice staircase.....see "Stairway to fucntion room"

B: I like the shiny floors but I hope the lighting is good on the night. I know alot of people take photos at the entrance/ in the lobby. :D I know I would.

Le Montage Lobby:THis aint our lobby...but it just looks nice doenst it :p. Plus u can always add misleading comments haha.

B: No misleading comments from me. I love this place. I wish we could use this lobby. But its usually used for weddings aye? I like the bright lighting. Everything looks especially spectacular when lighting is well adjusted.

Le montage Lobby 2:See above

B: My, my. What tall grass.

Our entrance:Yes. We will actually have a designated entrance just FOR US. *happy dance*. We can do whatever we want...and other people wont be able to see us....or care :)

B: Okay. This is impressive. I like the idea of taking photos at the MAIN entrance too. (I will probably come 30 mins early to formal - unlike last time when Winnie appeared fashionably late, just to take photos at the entrance) I just hope it's not raining on the day. D: November should be fine. I like the mini pillars on the side, and the large large tiles on the rampish walkway.

FUnction room:THis is our function room...unadorned with anything. Looks nice already eh? THis setting is actually for 280 people...so we'll actually have a LOT more room than it is shown...not that it looks crowded.

B: IT DOES LOOK CROWDED! ;D But hopefully it isn't. Lol. Every single time I see round tables, I think chinese restaurants. Anyone else?

Function room 2:Lovely chandelier isnt it?

B: yeah yeah :P The chairs look gay & cheap. Thankgoodness we have chair covers.

Place setting:This is the basic layour for our tables. And yes. Candle and candle holder is included

B: Damnit. The abundance of glasses, potentially dangerous sharp goods and fire on the table kind of scare me a bit. Sorry in advance if I burn the whole building down/ impale some poor person sitting next to me.

Place setting 2:Shot from a cool angle

B: lol

Seat decor:We decided that we'll have white seat covers with a translucent gold belt. Oh. and we'll have like the same stype of stuff hanging from the roof to the walls. At and extra $3 bucks per person haha.

B: Aww white and gold? Satinish black material for table cloths + seat covers would be nice. With some kind of silver ornamental belt. But this is acceptable (I'm such a bitch... :D)

Stairway to function room:AW....we get our own lil entrance.

B: OH MY GOODNESS. Is it just me? Or does the carpet look really really really gross from this angle? I was staring at the carpet, and then I looked at my arm, and I saw weird patterns forming D: D: D: I hope its the really, puffy squishy ones because they're fun to walk on.

Table decor:And yes. We chose dark pink Rose petals as our complementary adornments.

B: Is that a napkin? Excuse me for my ignorance in fancy eating, but why the hell does the napkin have a belt as well? ==; everything seems to have belts. :(

THe View:And yes. THis is the view from mid way on the stairs. The actual view wont actually include the carpark. Oh. and dont forget to mention that we have our own BALCONY. yay.

B: I'm appalled and disappointed. THE CARPARK?! D: NOOOO The convention centre has such a cool balcony. You see lots of nice buildings and WATER and nice walkways.. not cars :P I don't even like palm trees :( (omg speed bumps. I HATE SPEEDBUMPS). Wait. IS THAT A PARKING METER? D:


That's the end of the photo show. Some comments made my Shaun:

So there's our lil trip in a nutshell. But here's a few more decisions we made:
Seating: Tables are made for 8-10 people.
Microphone and lecturn are provided for presentations
There is a request list for the DJ - further details pending
Professional photography is availble ON THE NIGHT for around 15 bucks per B5 photo (half of a4 ish)

B: If someone buys me a really, really, really nice camera (and I mean super nice *Dad, I hope you're reading this), I'll take REALLY really REALLY really REALLY nice photos on the night. I love taking photos.

Menu: (you'll like this part)

Entree' Arrancini Risotoo tower (risotto with diced tomatos, mushrooms and herbs housed in a light, deep friend casing) - doenst sound too good yet. But Jenns says that it is great. We didnt want to get a meat dish cos we wanted it for the mains and some people dont like salad apparently.

Mains: Yet to be decided. it will be decided this week as a grade

Dessert: creme brulee'. Need more explanation? I think not.

B: I've never had it before- believe it or not. (WOO RIPLEYS)

Oh and pricing of tickets. TIckets will be $110. Its final. Its like $1-2 more than the actual expenditure, but any excess we will donate it as part of the 2009 gift.

B: :( I thought the estimate was about 85 or something. Oh well. I wish more people chose Taronga. Taronga is way cool man. Way cool. Nicer views.

"TRIUMMPHHHH!" ...

... is something my student says alot. Instances where he would use it would be when he finishes a module of gaycrapassselectiveprep stuff, or a bunch of superchallengingyr6math :)

It's rubbed off on me, and I use it when I have finished catching up with biology and I have done > half a math paper in minimal time.

While doing bio, I realised I HAVE NO MORE POST-IT NOTES. WHICH IS STUPENDOUS. Because last year, I spent > $20 buying those darned coloured scraps D:
I went crazy with the webcam :)

PHOTOSPAM- stuff I picked up off my desk

Year 10 formal. :) The first photo taken at the formal. hehe. I felt like a cat that night. The ribbon felt like a collar ;D

OHMYGOSH. IF ANYONE GOES TO HK/JAPAN BUY THESE FOR ME IF YOU SEE THEM. THEY ARE OF SUCH SUPER QUALITY ♥♥♥

These are my post office pets, Bear and Finley :)

NUMBER 1 TOY IN THE WORLD :) "Ah Bo"

LOVE OF THE DAY :)

Ahh this is interesting. It's called Kisspahoney-A. If you get ulcers or something in your mouth, putting a bit of this stuff will help it heal quicker. It numbs that area so you don't feel it while it works it's magic. HIGH RECOMMEND :D I bought it in HK from Mannings :) I hate those stupid "fey ji"s

Okay, probably the most worthwhile buy in the past few months. I've used it quite alot :D

MOST ORGANISED THING :) I separated all my stuff from my huge folder and separated them into 4 folders (you can't see maths D: its hiding)

HAPPIEST MOMENT - Bio. 10 pages of freaking bio. lol

Worthy possession. I use this everyday. I've had it since year 2 or something :O and all my pencils are beautifully sharpened.

Saturday's Haul

VANITY SPREE.

1. Softlips Gelato Range- French Vanilla Chappy :)

2. Garnier- Pure 3 in 1 Wash, Scrub & Mask

3. The Body Shop- Tea Tree Oil Huile D'arbre Á Thé

4. & 5. Rubi Flats :O

Altogether= approx. $50

MY FIRST REVIEW (LOL)

8-)

So my most recent chapstick EXPIRED, and I wanted a new one asap before winter started D: It's sometimes chilly in the morning :/ Kelly recommended Softlips chappy :) Got it for under $5 which is good :/ I guess, because before I was hunting through Grace Bros, sorry, Myer (I keep saying Grace Bros.. nggh) and they had tinned lip balm for OVER $20 O_O First thing I did after I walked out of the pharmacy was to try it. Smelled yummy, and felt super soothing- menthol. PLUS FACTOR: Isn't shiny like gloss or anything :) (so boys can wear it too.. my dad used to refuse to wear lip balm.. he said it was too "girly" PSH. asif) MINUS: You have to reapply quite often. Unlike the Blistex Ultra Lip Balm...

Omg that stuff goes on white and looks flaky, but it stays. So I use that for bivs and big outdoor activities because it's water resistant for 80 mins or so and has SPF 30+ :D

Next item: Garnier Pure

This is the first time I've purchased any of the Garnier facial cleansing products. I don't like their shampoos because they're too runny =-=; and the bright green bottle looks really weird & clashes with the bathroom walls (lol).

Wash, Scrub and Mask. Honestly, the only difference between wash and scrub is that with scrubbing you massage the stuff into your face in a circular motion. : The good thing about it is that it sort of retains enough moisture in your face so that it doesn't feel dry. I used it this morning and forgot moisturiser and I feel A-okay :)

Tried the mask last night while watching Edward Scissorhands. :D:D:D (and Hulk) I had a greenish face. You can seriously feel it penetrate into your face x) and when I washed it off, my face felt smooth like a baby's bottom without poo stuck to it.

I don't think it's 3 in 1. Scrub = Wash, hence 2 in 1. I recommend it to those who have COMBINATION SKIN. :) esp the mask part. It feels niicee. Also, having 2 products in one is also quite convenient. I don't have to stumble around in the bathroom blindly looking for different bottles :)

NUMBER THREE: Tea Tree Oil. Okay, recently, due to increased snacking sessions :( I got alot of isolated but prominent spots on my face D: I was okay about it until one day when my dad says "When did you get so many pimples?" Before, 2 was not a number I would consider to be many, but after he said it, I felt slightly self conscious. So I had to find a product to ATTACK those invaders. This stuff comes in a childproof cap (Belle proof also) and took me ages to take off. lol. It smells quite strong, but I like the scent. Others like KELLY don't like it too much . haha. But its a natural and gentle way of conquering those little red rascals that pop up here and then. Hopefully it works. If it does, I plan on making my own little all-natural-organic skin care collection. (I've decided it's an okay thing to invest in, because I don't want to have saggy, scarred skin when I'm 40ish D:) Direction: 2 drops on a cotton bud and wipe onto any spot you want to get rid of. Do this about 3 times a day. :) $10 for 10mL. D:

4 et 5 numero; I needed new shoes because 2 pairs of mine died :) I admit, Rubi's shoes look quite the opposite to sturdy, however they were not expensive. $15 for a pair, 2nd pair half price. :) There. Good thing about these shoes is that they don't hurt (or give you blisters around your achilles area) like alot of flats do. So say goodbye to the days of wearing bandaids or elastoplast to prevent those nasty buggers. I'm scared the soles of the shoes will come off though. These shoes feel quite flimsy. I'll only wear these on sunny days. :) Don't want to risk the colour running off when I go out on a rainy day D:

So thus ends my strange/retarded review.

My last post was rather short. I shall expand on it here. KRISSYBUBBLES (AKA CHRIS AU) has a blog now. :) So I decided to link you all. This boy cracks me up and hopefully will crack you up too. He is one of the many musically gifted friends I have and claims to be pitch perfect (lol hehe jk). Stuff he writes is enjoyable to read, so if you have time CLICK IT.

Nggggh. So much stuff due tomorrow. I shall start homeworking now :)

Have a good week everyone.
