Trick or Treat

I know, I know...it's gone past the 31st of October. But today I went for the Kid's Halloween Party with my first born. This was his first ever Halloween party and he's been looking forward to today since last week. Of course being a working-mum means I barely had half an hour to get ready and prepare make-ups and stuff for my first-born.

Here's what his "costume" consisted of:

1) We managed to get the driver to buy some cheap sparkling fruit juice yesterday. Basically, we just needed 2 corks. As for the drinks? We decided to toast amongst ourselves (much to the pleasure of the driver, nanny and the cook) a "Happy Thursday" - whatever that may mean. As for the fate of the 2 corks, they were stuck on either side of my first-born's side of the forehead.

2) My first-born suffers from eczema. So recently the nanny introduced this clay-like liquid that she spreads on my first-born's body and face. Because of the "badak-betampang" effect this has (or rather a-rat-fell-into-a-sack-of-flour effect), the nanny only puts this on after the bath before bedtime. So in my "have-just-conjured-pure-genius" moment, I instructed the nanny to put extra clay-thingy on my first-born's face today. Add a "stitch" or two on each cheeks (courtesy of my M.A.C. black eyeliner) - hey, presto! Halloween make-up to the M.A.C.s (no puns intended).

3) Found an old, black Hard Rock Cafe, HongKong T-shirt of mine amongst the rubbles in a black plastic bin bag. Put it on my first-born inside-out. Plus black pants.

So, there you go - instant Frankenstein. As easy as 1, 2, 3.
