One day, Nabs and I were at a Starbucks.

While we were trying to make the quick, firm decision of what to munch on (which means we took forever), we realised that the pastries were like cliques in cafeteria in high school.

I can’t remember exactly what we said, but here’s the gist:

Almond Butter Cake

The Atypical ABC

Mean girls trio huddled (right), whispering,

“Hey, did you see that weird kid. He’s like so strange.”
“And he smells funny *giggle* “
“I don’t want to sit so near him; he might make my hair (almonds?) stink too! Like eeeewww…”

Cinnamon Roll

The Lascivious Lovers
Left bun: ” Oh my darling, oh my hunny bun.. *snuggles*
Right bun: ” Mmmmm.mmmmmmmmmmmmm…”

muffins

The Cuckoo Club

“Ooops, no space for you.. ! Bye now! “

The troops rallied on 6th June, and it was a good, fine day at the esplanade doing KYTV:P.O.P nonsense. Our singing more or less sucked, our dancing – some, at least – drew inspiration from the Great Singapore Workout (so you can imagine how that went), but the making of it was INCREDIBLY fun.

It was a ball of a time prancing around in weird-ass costumes and lip-syncing to the recording. I laughed so hard during the whole process I think I developed abs.

How it worked:

  1. Choose your POPstar name
  2. Pick the original song for your solo/duet/group: Angry Song, Love Duet, Obscure Song, Happy Song…
  3. Learn your song via the separate tellies & headphones set up for each song (we never really made it..heh)
  4. Record your song in the studio.
  5. Head over to the makeup/dress up station to muck around with the nice people
  6. Wait for your turn to shoot your MTV against a green screen
  7. Say “thank you”!
  8. Sober up over the next few days and cringe over your video when it appears

So thanks to shal, nab, erfen, jonny, chris g, juliane, su & jie for coming down.. not to mention the bishy-bashy and bowling session that happened later. Oh yes, and the NOBODY by wonder girls impromptu cover we did.
