Today, we the Tou Tous celebrated (belatedly) the **th birthday of our second oldest member, Wen Fang!!!

A thousand apologies, dear Fang, for not being able to celebrate with you on the actual day (she was having exams and Yan and I were working) and for all the bad planning today. Hope we managed to make it up to you anyway.

Started off the day by waiting a damn bloody long time for Xy and Bell to arrive at the designated meeting place where we wanted to discuss our secret plans for the belated birthday celebration. I will clarify, however, that erm it's not really Xy's fault and I fully blame Bell. Hahaha.

Then, we went about doing our secret business (which turned out not very successfully), and we went on to change the meeting time and place like a thousand times, which kinda pissed Fang off (haha dun deny it Fang, I could hear it in your voice).

Finally, Fang came to meet us at Taka's Delifrance. And the madness began. While waiting for the food to arrive, Isabel grabbed my phone and started taking two million pictures of herself hahaha. And a couple of me and her.



After Bell was done, it was Fang's turn. She took pictures like this-



and set it as my wallpaper -_-. It's still my wallpaper because I am obliged to leave it there since she's the "birthday girl" for the day. So don't be frightened when you see this picture of our beautiful Wen Fang the next time you flip open my phone.

Fang also took some of Yan (who was sitting beside her), and then they began snatching my phone cos Yan wanted to delete the pictures (she believes that the camera would capture her soul) -_- . I was very amused while watching them tussling away, though a bit worried about whether the two ben dans would damage my phone. I shall not post the only picture of Yan that was not deleted since it's a bit blur and I think she would kill me if I subject her soul to public scrutiny.

After we'd finished eating (I had curry chicken baked rice and Yan had beef lasagne, both very nice! Bell hated her french onion soup though.) and Bell and Fang had finished reassuring themselves of their beauty by exchanging their souls with my cameraphone, and Yan had finished risking irreversible damage to my phone in the course of depriving it of pictures of herself, we decided to head down to Cineleisure to watch a dvd (there's a place at level 9 that allows you to rent a room to watch dvds or play Xbox games, quite cheap) and execute our birthday plan.

There were loads of people, however, so we were told that all rooms had been booked and Yan, Bell and I were at a loss of what to do since we needed a place to cut the cake and stuff. In the end, Fang went to ask whether it's possible to book a room so that we could be informed when a room became available. And it turned out that a room was due to be vacated in 20 minutes' time, so lucky us! We watched John Tucker Must Die, paused the film about five minutes into the show to sing the birthday song thrice (english, chinese, zoo version no it wasn't my idea). John Tucker Must Die is not bad, quite funny. The Crystal Jade Bakery marble cheesecake that we bought wasn't bad either, except for the "tiny" detail that we'd forgotten/not known-Fang doesn't eat cheesecake. Sigh! She still ate some in the end, though, in order not to be rude. Haha.

Isabel had to leave at 7 for a boyfriend obligation, so the rest of us went to Wisma to shop after the film finished. Fang was being her blur and crazy self as usual so much laughter was, er, laughed. Had dinner at Mos Burger, then went to the taxi stand with Yan as she wanted to take a cab home and "shun bian" send us to Toa Payoh. The stupid taxi stand was hopelessly devoid of taxis, however, so after a while we gave up and decided to take a bus to Toa Payoh. Yan took cab from there.

Happy belated birthday again to our dear beautiful cute blur intelligent and crazy Wen Fang! We love you very much!

Trying to avoid the fact that it's my turn next. Haha, start fretting, you three! =p

Ya I've reached an abrupt end to this long and detailed post. Hahaha. Thanks for reading and yes, someday my inspiration WILL come back and I will blog more interestingly and avoid abrupt endings and generally produce quality blog posts.

Till then!

Hello pals! Yours truly has decided to take time off from her v. busy working schedule to update her wonderfully entertaining blog!

So Xy and I have been (ok sorry bell I know you hate it when pple start blog entries with "So") working for 12 hrs everyday doing a super glam and exciting job - selling new year cookies at Junction 8 (Bishan) L2 atrium.

It's really super glam and exciting. We stand at this, like, 2 metre by 2 metre space and we're confined in it for 12 hours everyday. We only step out to relieve ourselves and buy food, throw food, arrange the cookie boxes and such like. Xy's parents brought this foldable chair for us to sit on the second day, so the job got even more glam after that cos now we can actually SIT down and stone the day away.

The hours pass more quickly on weekends as there are more people (duh), but on weekdays it gets really exciting because there are hardly any people from morning till about dinnertime. A tiny crowd would trickle in at lunchtime, but that's about it. So yeah. The past 10 days have been really really exciting. I love our job!

Xy and I are so excited everyday that we have tried every method to make our working lives less exciting. The list includes:

• conversing in Hokkien (incidentally, I have hardly spoken any standard English in full sentences for 11 days)
• increasing our glam factor by chatting graphically about topics like bowel movements and flatulence
• bitching about customers/potential customers
• buying a Sudoku puzzle book to pore over (Xy's idea, though I think she's gone off it already, saying that it's too difficult. We are still at the "easy" section, by the way. I asked her to buy the Kiddy version but nooo she wouldn't listen. Please will my money to NKF when Xy reads this.)
• eating large quantities of melon seeds (we sell 'em)
• scarfing down the samples
• begging friends to come down and relieve my excitement (this is on my part only.)
• sneaking out for short periods of time to shop (I bought my new year clothes during work time haha can u believe it! I feel so naughty)
• spending our yet-to-be-received pay on sweets and magazines
• chatting with the aunties working at the other booths

So please come and add to our excitement by visiting us. Ok, must go, or I won't have any energy to enjoy my exciting job tomorrow. Isabel has already visited us thrice, that kind soul. Love! =) *stares at Wen Fang* =p Jy is also kind enough to come down at lunchtime whenever she's not busy at work. Come ok! You have 3 more days starting tomorrow!

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! Those who are not spending it with a member of your preferred sex, don't be sad and mope the day away. Spend it with your loved ones! Those who are spending it with your spouse/gf/bf/dog, please try to enjoy yourself and ignore the deadly glares from annoyed singles.

Ta ta!
