As usual, clubbing with the Tooties managed to turn into a major harrowing yet hilarious affair. For some apparent reason, near death experiences always seem to happen when we're together. Always.

So we finally managed to get to China Black after undergoing a miraculous feat of 6 of us piling into my brother's car; those 5 at the back - which my brother decided could only parallel the Chinese Circus Act. Finally, the car stopped, a million people piled out, all happy as hell that we didnt have to take separate cabs, when, boom! as soon as my brother pulled away, it hit me that i had done the absolute brightest thing ever - In all the haste and excitement of shoving money and our handphones into our pockets, i had clean forgotten the all-important IC. Just bloody great. Of course Kaixuan whipped out her EZ-link pass which bore ABSOLUTELY NO RESEMBLENCE TO ME WHAT-SO-EVER. But hey, its the thought that counts.

While Slow, Kx and Shing cued up, Joan, Seng and i slinked off to eat and slack.(*points* Suckers!!) A most depressing MacDonalds' meal it was though. First and foremost, they had run out of Curry sauce..Whaaaa..?! Trying my darnest to mirror the picture on KX's EZ link card, i decided i was not happy. Seng resigned herself to her fate as i resolved to go back home and collect the offending IC. Just then KX rang shouting and LYING, might i add, that they had reached the front of the line. Of course that really didn't deter us as Joan decided she wanted an icecream.

Luckily, just as Seng and i were leaving, my brother(yes, he was finally useful) called to ask if everything was alright and when i complained to him about my predicament, he told me he knew the Door Bitch. Filled with hope, we rushed in to check it out. Unfortunately, the Door Bitch couldnt do anything because the Security Check wasn't done by her. Yet, as luck would have it, Seng in her own ridiculously "devious" way, managed to dig up something else - that EZ link cards would not suffice either. So i wasn't the only one who was screwed!! (Well, at least i had comrades.) So Joan and Seng had to get their ICs too. Imagine if we had gone all the way back to my house to get my IC and come all the way back only to find Joan and Seng needed theirs too!! *faints*

Which of course sparked off the "great taxi search". Joanie threw herself - and i mean she threw herself - into a cab and decided she would not move. But the taxi uncle decided he would not move either. Till she got out of the cab that is. In fits of laughter and blind panic, we threw ourselves across the self-same road, in the way of on-coming traffic no less, a few more times. Now, its all very well to toy with death like that, but honestly, all i could think about were "my shoes! my shoes! my poor shoes!" My babies!! Only just taken out of their box, just only starting to breathe, to learn, to see, to feel. Oh! The thought still pains me so!

We finally end up running after a cab, risking our lives, all dignity and condition of MY shoes. And of course, it being us, the uncle was rather insane.

Various house pours(fruit punch vodka is really the best), martinis (lychee not apple!), shots in five parts(!?), scouring for glasses, "Edison Chen", "Jay Chou", that crazy/scary/funny guy in black, "Slow's guy", the cute snogging guy, Joanie's broken shoes, jumping in a circle, slow mo' action shots, ass slapping, lots and lots of laughter, dancing, hot bar-tenders(handphone light!) later....

At around 4 am, i got a taste of being a mother. Decided i will have to kill myself if i have such bad kids.. i actually boiled water, made milo and whipped up a 5* French cusine meal - instant mee, microwave style! Soccer and bridge..squeezing on my bed...a lot of ASS TOUCHING (Senggg...), and nonsense later, it was time to wake up! (Thanks guys for the note .. feel like one of those people who after having AHEM AHEM wake up to find the partner gone and with only a goodbye note!! Sniff!)

Coming back to my point about the Tooties, we really rock!! Never was there a blame pointed in my direction about the forgotten IC. In fact, reproachments upon themselves for not reminding me to take it were made instead. Gonna miss the Tooties when i go off...

Another all-nighter will ensue tonight. *gasp* Talking about that, better go meet them in case Fartz grows tired of her corner again.. heh...
