A friday 3 weeks ago, few of us gathered together to execute on a secret project, a date which had been set 3 weeks prior to that Friday. You following? :p Nevermind... just a long time ago la...
Due to the complexity of organising different people together to make different gift for different people, the three of us decided to take matters into our own hands and sort out the gifts for them who recently shifted into new homes.
The helmets were just something we added on to confuse Derek cause coincidently Florence bought an almost identical one from Ho Chi Minh recently. He didn't know what was the secret project all about until the day itself. I supposed to loan him a pail to replace his missing helmet... :p But thought better of it. Better not be so mea, afraid of 'pou yeng' (retribution). :p
All we told him was to make himself available on the 27th for a secret project, lols... Don't mean to keep him in dark but when he replied the sms with... "Oooh... I LOVE secrets...", we decided to just keep quiet about it... hahaha...
And for that 2 over weeks, he thought:-
1) We were going to have another drinking and chilling out session.
2) We were going for paintball game when we told him to bring a helmet.
3) We were going to make our friend a cupboard as a house warming gift when I hinted to him that we are making a gift. *faint* A cupboard???! He really think too highly of us GIRLS!!!
8:30pm - After a simple dinner of 'fish head noodle' nearby, we kicked start our secret project. Had a small brainstorming session, found what we wanted from the internet and began working on it! :)
As usual, from all previous records, all activities of ours are always somehow fused with booze... so without sayings, this one too was that. The culprit this time round was that 750ml very fine Hennessy cognag leftover from our Cameron treasure hunt... hahaha... but I didn't drink. Not even a single drop.
At least one fella still can paint a straight line. :p The aroma was so tempting though...no choice la... can't risk the dancers turning out looking like gorillas. Smell enough already la... Hehehehe.... We started with painting the yellow background first - 10:30pm.
The effect of boozing while painting. Helmets and goggles somemore. As if painting is a very dangerous activity. Hehehe...
Taking 5 while waiting for the second layer to dry. The cognag was so good even the non-drinker ended up drinking one after another. Seriously good. So imagine how BIG my sacrifice was or perhaps, how discipline I was... ahem... NOT A SINGLE DROP!
Our bartender for the evening. Hard at work. Mixing drinks.
11:15pm - After the many layers of yellow background dried, we started with working on the two dancers. Better work fast before the alcohol kicks in... hehehe.... or it will never be completed.
Next, was the remaining background with bright orange. Slowly turning out looking rather awesome right?
Fooled around a little too... camwhoring la... painting faces la... joked la... tok kok la... had so much fun. The effect of drinking (for them) and smelling (for me) the cognag. Lols...
12:30am - Derek concentrating... "I must make sure I paint on the canvas, not on the newspaper." :p
Florence concentrating too. Working on the figures. Painting them black. "Straight line...aum...". When Derek attempted to help on that part, she went like.. "Ermm.. you better don't paint this one...".. lols... so mean.
Me. Errmm... actually I was pretty busy but put on the helmet and goggles to entertain the drunkards. Hahaha... Look as if we were using some super toxic paint or something... and "Children shall not attempt this at home" kind of activities. You'll get head injuries from painting.
The 'ghost rider' distracing me working hard. Kacau only...
The mabuks (drunkards) riding their imaginary Harleys...
And went vrrooommm vrrooommming left and right... gila already!
5 and a half hours
600ml of cognag
330 minutes of laughters
Tonnes of effort
2 Helmets + Goggles
So, if you are drunk next time and boast that you can still walk a straight line, that's sap sap water (chicken feet) ok. Try painting a straight line instead!
So, Jason Tan, if you sometimes thought you caught a whiff of cognag, you know where it came from ok... You did not imagine it... hehehehe.....
