Med Ball 2006
Ahhh…Med Ball 2006 came and went last Friday and it was the night to top all nights..;). Food, drink and just general debauchery..what else do you expect from med students…hehe :p
The night began at 5:30 with champagne and truffles at the imperial hotel (really posh place btw). Everyone looked great, a much welcome difference from everyone’s normal appearance of ’so-can’t-be-bothered-going-to-class-and-been-up-all-night-studying’ look. We were then bused of to the Silversprings Hotel for the reception, while being serenaded on the way by some of the guys at the back..hehe.
Upon arrival, we all gathered together for a class photo. By this time, majority of the ppl there were ‘happy’ which led to some really really funny moments. Once that was done, everyone made their way downstairs for some mingling and drinking…
Dinner officially began at 8pm. A four course meal that began with a chicken and mushroom pastry thing, followed by vege soup, turkey dinner with mash potato, brocolli and carrots, and ended with a wildberry cheesecake with cream. It was a great dinner but myself along with everyone else couldn’t finish their meals…we were just all so STUFFED :).
An awards ceremony was held midway through the meals with a person from each year receiving a ‘golden scalpel’ award. The Golden scalpel award is given to the person who has done the most embarassing (or amazing, just depends on how you look at it) thing whilst under the influence :). To everyone’s surprise in our year, Hakan got the award for first med, for his unprecedented strength and stamina in bench-pressing Vicky during one of our several drinking outings. If you want to see the award-winning photo, leave a comment for me and I’ll direct you to the link..;)
Anyway, at bout 10:30, the after party began with a band called "revenge" playing. They weren’t half bad although many I knew would have much preferred a DJ playing. I had a blast dancing and drinking the night away (even allowing blisters to form on my feet! 
). The night however would not have been a success with all of my friends around me, you know who you guys are :D. It was definitely a night to remember.
P.s-for photos of the night, leave me a comment and I’ll direct you guys to the link…
