Post-bbq.. Faris and me were discussing.. while clearing up the mess and till last nite before i left for night duty that, we should make another party and the next time...there will be lesser food but more playtime.. and we are thinking of Sentosa. No bbq, but catered food instead.
First of all, Alhamdullilah, the weather was very kind to us. The heavy rain stopped when we reached there at 1430hrs, drizzling only, unload some stuff and Kev had to leave to fetch our 2nd load of stuff from his parents. And after that, he left again.. back home to get the DVD- Karaoke player with subwoofer and speakers (but somehow the system does not sound as good as it is at home). I can't remember how many trips he made to and fro .. as I was busy with the final preparation.. Fried Bihun, sting ray wraps, prawn wraps, kebak sticks and baked potatoes. . almost had panic attack.. so litte time .. so many things had to be done..
About 6pm, the first 2 guests came.. Theresa and Jerene.. Kev's colleague. . At that time.. paiseh still in my shorts. Quickly got changed before many other guests arrived and mistaken me for a maid. Soon after.. streams of people came.. mostly Kevin's colleagues and friends whom some were unfamiliar to him. But we welcomed them anyway.. really felt good when word of mouth reaches to those who heard and turned up unexpectedly. Very greatful and many heartfelt thank you to all who came and to those who tried to come but cannot make it.
There were many cars pulling up at the entrance, and we had to lookout to see who just arrived. If it's chinese.. then it's Kevin's side.. and if it's non-chinese.. then, it was like a guessing game.. " Who's guest? When he asked me.. i said i don't know. Then i had to asked those around .. I can't recognise and don't know who..
invited some old secondary school friends.. posted my invitation at the forum.. so some of those who came .. either i don't know them at all... or i can't recognised them cos they have all changed.
I was worried that i was not able to entertain my guests .. Running, Skipping and rolling from unit A to unit C, wanting to make sure that everyone's ok and comfortable, had their food and drinks.. and having a wonderful time, jus as much as i enjoyed every minute of it. ME tired .. not at all..
It was really an overnite BBQ .. still having pple to eat in-between games after midnight onwards. Some of Kevin's friends were looking forward for some mahjong and card games.. but can't do much of that cos the food takes time to be cooked and we actually started the fire a little too late but it was alright... everything went well .. and everybody enjoyed the food..
We started clearing up when everyone asleep . That was all.. we left the place at 10am.
As we reached Yishun, it began to rain. Unload the leftovers and stuff.. and now the house is in a big mess. Not tidying it up cos.. too tired, got to sleep.. to prepare to stay up again .. night shift for the next 3 days.
Jus returned from nite duty today and i am still feeling fresh..
