Great job guys.

Hurhur I would be one-half of “them,” then. Thanks for the support, rainyuki.
3plus, 4am - makes no difference when I’m sitting in the dark at an ungodly hour squinting at html code onscreen.
Anyways all, you can see chunkymonkey and Alvin’s handiwork for a new Dress Me Up video in the latest blog entry on Youth.SG. Another one of the things that keeps Alvin up at night.
