haha, it took me ages to upload the pics but its worth it(:
here are only some featuring the classic unglam-ness(: n fun(:(:



ok lets start the story(:

the story starts in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5(:(:




on a fine day rachel ho decided to show off her beauty...

sadly it attracted some crocodiles -.-


and it tried to eat meiqi 0.o


Apparently rachel got very very very very scared and started scream(: :O


FLUTES being a VERY brave section decided to chase the crocodile away by performing so weird superhero actions:

rachel used her super-vision

and serene tried being batman while anne just flaps away, hoping she can get away from all these insanes.
the rest attempted to be the spiderman(:

after a LOOOONG while, they decided to push the blame to meiqi, because she is the SL (muhaha)

but being kind-hearted we changed the criminal to rachel
and anne kindly volunteered to kill her(:(:


after much killing, everyone got so tired that they just went back to sleeping ZZzzzz














the end(:
