formal-friends

i feel that Miami University really changed me. Before I came here, I was the shy type of guy. everything i want to do i would just keep it to myself. now, i know how to start a random conversation but not with stupid lame quotes to hit on a girl. that is totally not me.
this formal was very irritating at first. i hate it when people plan some arranged date for me just to go to this event. it pisses me off. i want to choose someone i am comfortable. this is how i feel. i decided to boycott the plan and ask jenny instead. it took me a whole lot of courage to ask her after class. by the look of her face, she was so surprise. who won't right?at least i made an effort. on friday, she agreed to go with me
we went for a pre-formal dinner at Kona before going to the formal party. we were not alone. it was a whole group of korean guys with their dates and me being the only malaysian. everybody talking korean and me talking english. so funny. the food was great and i paid for her. the 15 of us was an hour late to formal. we just wanted to make an appearance, i guess. when we entered the room, i saw so many familliar faces with their formal gowns, suits and ties. i took a lot of pictures with my sister's camera. i regretted not bringing mine. the best moment was when i danced with jenny. i whispered to her saying that i had a great time with her as my date. she is so sporting. the most awkward part was when thuy, chau and annie dirty danced with me. i was totally speechless and unprepared for this. i didnt even see it coming. you girls!!
the post-formal was held at bumi's house. we went back to change to our t-shirts and headed there to the senior house. i drank 8 shots of whatever it is called and felt a bit tipsy-turvy. but i was fine. alan drove me home and i went back to sleep.
i had a great time with jenny as date. i enjoyed every single moment at the formal. this formal really taught me something, only do something you have passion for. otherwise don't. also, be confident and take risks. yea man...i live for that!!!
