the scandalous chocolate affair..

Wednesday, 15th May year 2006, approximately 11.26am Three official Kooks, one crazy cutie and a phlegmatic person sit at Starbucks. The weather is normal, with no apparent differences. The gang sits with a raffish aura that seemed to demand attention, in the corner of the coffee paradise holding their own cards concentrating on beating the person with the least and the lucky devil holding the Big Two.

A black car stops outside. BJ looks up and smiles. The philandering shyster she was expecting had arrived. He walks in. He was no match for her. He wanted to play with fire. Little did he know what to expect. Prima facie the gang looked like an ordinary bunch. They were everything but.

Loud greetings were exchanged. Then, BJ mention the unimaginable. A shopping outing. For make up. On a Tuesday morning. Subang Parade. The kooks looked at each other and nodded instantly in accession. Quick calculations were made. It was Earthquake Tuesday. In ten minutes, the Kooks and the cutie were in the car. Galileo is picked up. He missed the Kooks.

With spirits rocketing sky high, the four wondered though the mall. Each had abdicated the responsibility to be a good student for the day. Looks were seen and whispers were audible. Calvin came into the picture. He, attracted by the cabaret like manner of the Kooks, decided to jump in to share the joy of servitude to the Kooks along with Tubby.

It didn't take long till CS, BJ and PP found their all time favorite FOS. Bj decided to have some retail therapy by purchasing an extremely short black skirt. Along with the punctilious dress sense came many eyebrow raising remarks by the Kooks to each other; making Hobbes question the Kooks friendship.


Then it was time.


The gang marched off to SWENSONS in a single file determined to destroy anything that stood between them. The Shyster joined the Kooks. After consumption of delightful nourishment, the affair began. In a decorous manner, Cs was put in charge of ordering the mouthwatering earthquake. She had the gumption to order everything beginning with the word Chocolate. A clever one she is. However, one cutie had a craving. And with Kooks, it is in the order of the universe that every Craving has to be satisfied. So mint was added to the list for an abashed cutie. The magnanimity of Swensons. 8 scoops. 8 toppings. $45, but 50% off on Tuesdays. The Kooks were beyond halcyon.

The ending to the affair was queer. But it involved the CS and Pearl apologizing profusely to Hobbes hoping to expiate. But the day was indeed an enjoyable one.
