Today was extremely traumatizing.

My life, as i've always known it, has ceased to exist. Today, i was put into the hands of two rather incapable-looking people. One after the other, they came at me; relentless. One at a time, they terrorized my very being; one by one, they mangled my very soul. With a moron(Joanie) counting bends aimlessly and inaccurately in the background, Seng "i'm-pretending-im-driving-a-mudzter-race-car-driver-wannabe Chen" proceeded to shorten my span of life as she zipped along the '13'-bend "race course". My heart flip-flopped desperately all over the place as i reached out and grabbed the comforting arm of my Cabbagetutu(which proved absolutely no comfort). My life began to spin around me..i tried to say my last goodbyes...

A collective sigh of relief ensued. We were safe! We were alive! But only for the moment. Next, 4 people crammed at the back of the car were seen craning their heads in frantic recognition of danger. "Turn after the taxiiii passes" screeched the Moron(joanie, who else?); And after the 5 whole minutes of intensely gruelling and emaciating panic, our lives put in the mere gloved hands of a Sengyat, we were there. As we piled out of the car, my legs almost gave way.

Of course Slow's homeward bound driving only served to cause further damage to my heart, health and life, but it was infinitely better. Though as incapable-looking as Seng "Chen", Slow's steadiness and unspoken confidence impressed me. (Note, this is only because i want Slow to pick us up tomorrow - We'll be waiting!)

Mahjong, manicures, pedicures, dvds, maniacal laughter(from my Cabbagetutu no less), bowling right in the centre, changing lanes, speed bowling and kicking those Chocolate Shits' asses, my life passing through my eyes TWICE, more insane laughter, gross cheating and good food - what more could a girl ask for? Whether all the Tutus are together, or whether there are only some of us, whenever we are together, wherever we are, we always manage to have fun - be it nearer to our deaths kind of fun, or just good ol' fashion plain fun!

As we were eating dinner, Slow's extremely nice parents brought up an excellent point(one wonders how Slow turned out this way), which was that we should always find a way to stay in contact because once good friends, we'll be good friends for life. With the Tutus, life is never dull. And everyone is so easy going, naturally happy and aptly quirky. What i like about us is that we don't take things so seriously and we have so much fun doing it. For instance, our grand cheating (wink wink joanie) at Mahjong (no we didnt cheat what!!) was taken so happily and with so much goodwill. Blatant taking of tiles, keeping tiles, exchanging "tai"s, stealing "hua"s and under-the-table-swopping never so much as hindered our game. The game just went on as usual! And the cheaters(what?! who cheated?!! who??) were allowed to win without any fuss. Yet, when called upon, the tutus can be found to listen to and help with problems, be they relationship wise(like those to do with fruits..heh) or problems in general.

Clubbing with the Tooties is also a hilarious affair, and i will be looking forward to tomorrow's clubberonic experience and the stayover. Actually we've come a long way..from the really 'Toot' years (who was toot? not me..! i was always cool OK..)of secondary school to the pretending-to-be-more-grown-up years of JC to our relaxing post-JC-pre-Uni years, i don't think we could say we've ever had a dull moment when we're together. Even pia-ing 2 yrs work of maths, which up to this day i never really got, together was an enjoyable affair. Friends, even lovers, tend to drift apart, but here's to hoping that even if we do happen to move further away, somehow our lives will always meet. And when they do, the usual uproar and psychoticness will ensue.

Here's hoping our manicure n mahjong photos will ensue sometime too. Heh.

So all in all, today's been a pretty interesting day. Woke up at 12, met Jem for lunch, where he patted my head because i was in slippers, experienced the crazies with the tooties, then the boyfriend came over, did nothing for a bit - that was eventful - and then the all-"exciting" power failure! Well, well, not a bad today. And tomorrow, i'll see about the 4-day rule..
