The party went like this, the theme was “Technicolor”, man it was hilarious. Imagine teens in bright pink and bright green… shoes. Yep, the 3 sistaz, Tiffy, Danii and Jess bought those 29.90 Kappas and sprayed them pink with green splotches, supposedly polka dots. What a hoot. For me I just came in my red shoes, a pink pullover and yellow boardshorts. As for the lovely Fiona, she was wearing a turquoise tank and an angel white satin wraparound.
We gathered at this condo in the RG-SCG-NYG triangle, don’t want to name it for safety reasons. I reached there at about 2104 as I had an AGM to attend. There was supposed to be bbq, but since it rained heavily in the day, the charcoal wouldn’t start.
So we went to their house, then, Alex, who was in charge of food, decided that we would have salads for dinner. Alex made salads with purple and green and orange sauces. Weird. Luckily I had ate before coming. But there was Tiramisu. Love it.
After salads, Frank and Tiffany, Jordan and Danielle and Elgin and Jessica made a move because they live on the opposite side of the island and had to go. But not before we saw their gift exchange. Frank gave Tiffy a white gold Tiffany bracelet (actually a silver bracelet with “Tiffany” on it but never mind), and she gave him a camera. Jordan gave Danii a FCUK shirt. She gave him a pair of Air Jordan’s because “he always gives me Air Jordan when we are dating.” Elgin and Jess smiled when asked about their gifts to each other. Amusing.
The time is 2225 now. We sat in a circle in Alex’s room then I taught the “I’ve been redeemed - Oh ya can’t getta heaven” song. We sang it a few times then I suggested we sing it in a circle and whoever can’t sing must do a forfeit. George gave us “Oh ya can’t getta heaven on a basketball… cos a basketball’s gotta fall.” Russ said “Oh ya can’t getta heaven on a magic rug… cos a magic rug will have bugs.” Jamie gave us “ Oh ya can’t getta heaven on a UFO… cos it’ll only reach Pluto.” Fiona went out pretty fast, Chermaine too. The last one standing was George. I got stuck at “Oh ya can’t getta heaven on a cable car… cos it goes to Sentosa.”
The time now was 2245. The forfeit was a cup of Valrhona cocoa without sugar, alternating one hot, one cold. George had one of his choice, then Russ had two … and Fiona was supposed to drink fourteen 100 ml cups. But she got stuck at 5 so we just helped her. Fiona’s voice started to go. Hope she doesn’t get sick. I had 4 + 2 so now I’ve a diarrhea and a sore throat.
Anyway, after forfeit it was 2310, would you believe it. We had our showers. Surprisingly, many people didn’t bring their clothes. So Jamie and Alex had to dispense clothes. Chermaine, Alex’s bestest friend and a real cartoon wanted to wear Ashley’s stuff. And would you believe it, Alex let her. So Chermie was in Osh Kosh B’gosh for ten minutes before the marks where it was too tight started to appear. The guys used the main and Jamie’s toilet, the girls used Alex’s and the master bedroom toilet. House rules, no staying in the toilet for more than 12:59 minutes and no warm water after 2300h to enforce that. It’s almost army camp style. We met back at 2357 in the living room. The girls were late, apparently, Chermie wanted to blow her hair. The girls all went woooh at her hair, so they were late.
Fiona wore the XL bluey tee I lent her and a pair of black FBT’s. I sat on Fiona’s right, Vaness sat on her left.
We waited for 0000, the guys told me we were waiting for Boxing Day. In my mind I made a note to sing Fiona a birthday song after the Boxing Day celebrations. At 0000, the lights went off by themselves, timer apparently, and I started singing the Boxing Day song but everyone else sang Happy Birthday Fiona. So lame. She squeezed my hand while I changed tune. Then Jamie went to turn on the lights again. I gave Fiona a peck on her left “no-name” finger.
Then the real gift exchange started. I gave Fiona an Oregon Scientific clock with Radio and ceiling projection. I gave George a piece of pink Blush! lingerie (which was his wish, I saw his diary). Thos SB chocolates for Alex and Jamie and cards, hugs and kisses to everyone.
I received a Juve jersey (pink) from George, a jacket from Fiona, potpourri from Alex and Original Source stuff from Jamie and hugs and kisses and cards.
Fiona got, my clock, a Ljungberg x-s Arsenal jersey from George(who else), cosmetics from her chummie Vaness, Godiva Caraques from Russ (again), potpourri from Alex, Original Source from Jamie and a voucher from Chermaine.
Going by Fiona’s face, she wasn’t too glad to see chocolates. But thanks anyway, Russ, we love you. I dun mind more chocolate.
It’s really cute, George got everyone jerseys (from Thailand), Jamie got everyone Original Source (John Little Sales) and Alex got everyone potpourri, I assume from her mummy’s shop. Great stuff.
At 0045, we played a card passing game, it’s called suck and blow. We sat in a circle alternating guy and girl. Starting from Russell, we had to pass a card around the circle using suck and blow only while holding hands too. Couples cannot sit together. We played with one card and then more until five when we cannot take it already. I sat between Alex and Chermaine. Fiona sat with George and Jamie. George is a cartoon hero, while passing to Fiona he let the card drop and ended up kissing Fiona. Apparently in revenge for the thing I gave him. Bad man. How could u introduce us to this game and do this to me!! :D
After that it was to the beds, the girls were tired, having swam before the rain. The guys took the living room while the girls went two each into Jamie’s and Alex’s rooms. Fiona and Vaness in Jamie’s room and Alex and Chermie in Alex’s room. The time was 0125, the guys chatted till about 0215 then we fell asleep.
At 0800 we were all woken by Alex and Jamie frying us hashbrowns and ham. Chermie had her hair all over and pillow fold marks on her face. Fiona woke up last but cheerily. They were giggly when they saw us. Looks like they opened the door connecting both rooms and gossiped as usual.
After Breakfast we all went home. I sent Fiona all the way to Changi then I took a cab back home. Really expensive but I got back before 1100.
