elaine's "amazing threesome" [somehow the more i think of it, the more it sounds like charlie's angels..] went to the fmss funfair yesterday.

somehow whenever the three of us.. (ie. jean, shan and myself) go out together... we'll always be up to *something*...

this time it was the reflexology thing...
the three of us were walking around fmss waving out hands about waiting for the henns to dry and we found our sweaty selves in a nice air conditioned room... and then this lady waddles up to us...

her: come, come girl, you want a reflexology massage?
me: eh...
her: it's *really* cheap... only 40 dollars!!!
shan: eh...
her: it's really good.. our students are learnt how to do it in a workshop...
jean: eh...

(all three of us probably had the same thought in our heads: there is *no* way that i am *ever* going to let some amateur play with my precious feet for 40 bucks...)

me: oh.. we have no coupons... so we can't pay...
her: AH! but you can buy some more!!!

(to our horror the ticket counter is *RIGHT* next door... )

shan: eh...
her: so i'll put you down... ok?
jean: eh...
her: what's your name?
jean: me?
her: yes?
jean: oh..um..j-e-a-n-n-e..
her: j-a-e..what?
jean: no... j-e-a-n-n-e..
her: j-a-e-n-e..
jean: no..ah..nevermind..

(and then she sent her husband or whoever he was to *escort* us to the ticket counter to pay for that massage...)

jean: i don't want to waste my money on the massage..
shan: so what are we going to do?
me: *grabs shan's hand as we sneak out...*

and then there was the satay...
which took years to be fried...
so we just left that halfway as well...

we did have fun playing the gladiator thing though..

there were three of us..and only two could play...
at first i didn't really like the look of it..
and then i consented to playing with shan...

and here's the deal..
we met charlotte and her sis...

problem solved. 4 of us. 2 pairs.

then charlotte backed out.

and i guess jean didn't want to play cause she was wearing a skirt...

ah well..

you really missed out jean..

anyway, we climbed on to this huge rubber thing...
and we had to stand on these *really* wobbly stands...

i have a feeling that since the game was actually for kids the stands couldn't really support my weight..

ah well..

they supported my weight after all...

and then we were given these club things..
to club your opponent until she toppled over..

it was really fun...

shan's a nice person to play with...

she won the first round...
so i just pulled her down when i fell..

nice. underhanded means of playing eh?

i won the second and third rounds..

and she won the last...

the referees (sec 5 fmss people) seemed quite amused..
one said that we looked like we were dancing.

(believe me, there is nothing *graceful* about trying to balance on a rubber stand while being clubbed to death...)

and one of them tried to get jean on the act...

him: come, come.. play la....oh..c'mon.. nevermind..you're so skinny...so i'll get my skinniest friend to play with you...

then his "skinniest friend" got pissed and yelled at him.

"what skinny..?! i'm not that skinny ok?"

hmm..
take it from me guys...

if you want to compliment a lady..just say she looks "nice".
saves you a whole lot of trouble...
