6a02 bbq (29th dec)

it's the first time i organise a bbq. the planning didnt go smoothly. there were times i felt frustrated. sudden unexpected changes. i have learnt a lot of this experience. it 1st started with contacting the pri sch classmates. the bbq was changed from 27/28 to 26 and then to 29. i had sent out a lot of msges to everyone and was so paiseh to keep texting them. haha. the good thing was almost all replied me. thankyou. i started browsing through the BBQ wholesale website to cater the bbq stuff. came up with a list of items that we will be ordering. but could only managed to contact amelia on sat. it was too late. we couldnt place any order. when amelia texted me at 2am on sat, i was at a loss. man. what am i going to do. there was no choice but to go supermarket and buy everything ourselves. so me and amelia would be doing the shopping. had msged the rest who were coming for to bbq to help out, but only chunying could make it.

left house at 11.45am to meet chunying and amelia. but last minute amelia called me and told me she couldnt come. so i met with with chunying and we ordered satay in chongpang. it cost 50cents per stick. it could have been cheaper. then we went to gaint at sembawang shopping centre. realised that the things were relatively more expensive. so we walked to sunplaza and bought everything needed for bbq besides raw food and the drinks. walked back to michael's house. came out with him to gaint and bought the remaining things. rested for a while at his house before i walked back to yishun to collect the satay and cooked food i ordered few days ago. bbq started at about 6+. the classmates came. bbq-ed the food, ate, talked, watched tv... we also played some orientation games (what, who, huh? and watermelon). hahaha. most of ppl left at 11+pm. the remaining 7 stayed overnight at michael's house. we played wii. yeah. very fun. we played cards too. 4 left in the early morning at about 6am. then me, michael and minyang fell asleep. hahaha. the 3 of us didnt sleep the entire night. slept all the way to around 12noon. went for lunch at sembawang shopping centre. i ordered bachor mee. the queue was long. thought that it would be nice. but it was the opposite. the meat was still raw. i'll never ever eat from that stall again. took bus back home. bathed and then went out again to the post office to pay the tv licence. came home. slept.

i'm glad the bbq turned out well. special thanks to michael for letting us hold the bbq at his place, chunying for helping out with the purchase of bbq things, zhenchao (marshmellow master) for helping to start the fire and bbq-ing the food. and also not fogetting the rest. benjamin, shumin, peipei, minyang, tricia, mingsheng, tammy, suwi, amelia, jean and angeline. thanks for coming.
