My friend shares her birthday with Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll and Kim Jong-un, future King of North Korea. We threw her a party last Saturday and made her a Princess.

We were flying off to various cities for the New Year and barely had time to properly organise this. It took 15 minutes for Jan to decide on a theme, and another 15 minutes for me to delegate jobs. “I’ll send a Facebook invite. Justin and Irvin will collate the RSVPs and order food. We’ll talk when we all get back in 2011.”

The fitting was done hours before the party. San Chin and Andrew exclaimed, “You are going to win hands down if you rent this!!!” Hahahahha. The guys at No. 1 Costume Costume sternly reminded us that no photos were allowed. But will Andrew listen? No!

Elmo totally stole the thunder from Snow White. Awwwww. My sincere apologies. Hahahahahahaha.

Justin and Irvin as Astro Boy I and Astro Boy II. They came with matching mascots! It was a good thing I brought along mine as well.

Gillian had a last minute emergency to settle, while Leo accidentally slashed his wrist a few days before the party. They came in Donald and Bert tees and therefore weren’t thrown out by the door bitch.

Jessica and Don as Supergirl and Superman respectively. Their self improvised costumes were absolutely hilarious.

San Chin from the Flintstones, with Andrew as one of the lackeys to the Queen of Hearts.

The folks from No. 1 Costume Costume agreed to waive the rental fee for Snow White’s wig. We chose red for an image revamp, but the birthday girl couldn’t find her red lipstick. Mandy as Minnie- the costume was 100% DIY! She bought cloth and did the ears herself too. Amazing.

Huiyi as Doraemon. In my haste to 伸出”圓”手，I exposed my flesh. Tsk.

Superman is so strong!

Minnie high on beer! Disney is so going to sue us.

The people behind Sesame Street won’t be amused. Hahaha.

Gee! This is so tiring. How do those people at the theme parks survive?!

It was very very warm inside the costume. But I allowed them to drag me into this mini skit.

After eating an apple from the evil witch, Snow White fell into a deep coma.

The seven dwarves were devastated.

It’s Elmo to the rescue! “Miss, miss. Are you all right?! Let me give you a kiss!”

“Ok. She’s up. I’m going to get out of this costume and go shower. Remember to vote for me!”

Birthday girl flanked by the superhosts.

I won! Muahahaha. Superman and Minnie came in second and third respectively.
