KDU Ball is now over and done with – and so is the work! Hmm.. how did it go? The food sucked but apart from that, the night was good nonetheless.
The Student Council, performers and KDU Idols had to reach Equatorial Hotel
by 4pm. Damn, which means we gotta get all our hair and make-up done waaaayyy beforehand.
So yeah, here we are at Artistic Hair Saloon

Poor Cindy, Jazz is trying to screw her head.
LOL that sounds wrong
XPWhen it was my turn, I wanted something punkish, chic yet feminine at the same time. So, this was what the hairstylist did for me. MElikes.

Front ViewSomehow, I have a wee bit feeling that it looks like a chicken’s backside.
ROFLThe best part was, I was so surprised to see that the hairstylist was my very old friend who moved here and opened his hair saloon! Talk about coincidence! ahahaha
So yeah, SuYuan and I camwhored & surfed the net while waiting for the rest of them

Hmm. our hairstyles are almost alike
^_^
We went back to my house to get our make-up done

A shot of me in my room
(yeah, I wore a buttoned-blouse cos it’s easier to change
into my dress later, thanks for the tip gurl~!) And then we hit the road! Equatorial Hotel here we come!
It was great that we got a room all to ourselves, for the KDU Ball crew to change, do make-up and put our stuff in.

We’re all set and ready! I left the room early and went downstairs to check out the ballroom and everything going on with the performers and last minute stuff. And of course, grabbed the chance to photograph everything before the night began
And all this were happening before everyone arrived :

ANYWAY
The KDU Idol contestants competed and put their best foot forward during their performance. Supporters yelled, cheered and clapped all the way but somehow, the dancers garnered more noise than the singers.
