Ade & SK's Birthday BBQ (2nd post)

Yay!!! A guest blogger... Thanx William =D

William:
Right, so now it’s my turn to guest-write in the blog!!

Event: Adeline and SK’s BBQ + Birthday Bash

Place: Adeline’s House

Attendance: Adeline, SK, May Yee, Chung Wei, Huey Ling, Sim Ling, Wai Shien, Wen Bin, June, William, Michelle, Choi Lin, Dorinda (Did I forget anyone else?) (MY: You forgot the Oh's extended family and their younger sis.. lol)

People who got thrown into the pool: Adeline, Soh Khun, Chung Wei (voluntary)

Right, I guess I couldn't be the right person to write this blog, cos I was the last to arrive, and one of the earliest to leave I think, haha!! Hopefully someone else will fill in the void when I wasn't around :P Yea, I did ‘recall’ Sim Ling telling to come at around 6, but I ended up arriving at 7. And I have a legitimate reason for that!! I had to go get BEER!!! BEER itself is already a legit excuse of lateness used all over the world :P. So I ended up going to the Giant near SK’s place after picking her up and was browsing through their appalling beer selection. Actually I was just considering whether to just go for Heineken or get a mix of booze, but after remembering HL’s ‘request’ of anything BUT Carlsberg, we went for Heineken instead :P and when we finally decided on Heineken, we saw a bottle of Stella next to another bottle of Asahi!! I soo miss Stella, Dennis you better bring some back from London for me!! (Just jk :P) After another 10 minutes of thinking, had finally decided on Asahi instead (cheaper mah :P) That already took a total 20 minutes to consider, haha!!

We finally reached at 7pm, and the party was WELL underway already muahaha…. CW was our main cook for the night with many of us helping out while a few of us were just waiting to eat XD. We had a large selection of chicken wings, Taiwan sausages, fishballs, satay, lamb chops, beef ribs, sotong, ikan baker, sweet potatoes, salad, mihun and corn!!

And there were many ‘irregularities’ reported with the food, mainly that certain parts were not fully cooked yet and had to be laid back onto the pit, while other parts were too overcooked and hence the attempts to chew through the tough meat, haha… Soh Khun’s complaint was different; there wasn't enough honey on everything!! So she went by the pit and lathered everything with lots of honey, including the satay and fishballs, like honey was free XD. Even at the end when the the cooks position was changed to HL and CL, it was still the same 2 choices of undercooked or overcooked food (Somehow I feel that I’m gonna get a public lynching after this post :P) And there were quite some leftovers left, which I think Ade can use to pack her lunches for a week if she enjoys lamb chops sandwiches :)

And the weather wasn't very good either :(. It rained ‘lightly’ not once, but TWICE during the BBQ and we had to carry that BBQ ‘table and bench’ in (OK, CW and WB carried it in) to avoid the rain.

However, the cooks in HL and CL weren't about to give in to the elements that easily, as they were still out there at the pit cooking the food!! Kudos to you guys (even with the amentioned problem above)!! So we all gathered in the room and waited the rain out and talked about things unrelated to anything. We also started opening the the first of 2 bottles of gin that ‘someone’ supplied and mixed with lime syrup from a bottle that looked like it was made for dishwashing liquid (Some say it resembles a cooking oil bottle :P) And while waiting for food, May Yee had her first experience of drinking beer!! She claimed to had always stayed away from beer due to its bitter taste and that night was her first night of drinking!! Yes, it was overhyped as she had less than a sip of an almost empty bottle, LOL ;P (MY: Actually i just don't take alcohol :p that nite was a total one off.. i hope...) And me and SK passed the time waiting for the rain to stop by camwhoring with HL’s camera, XD

While the party was going on, May Yee received a call from Dennis and requested us that we throw SK into the pool!! MY then asked me whether they could do so-lah. Of course, I wasn’t gonna touch this matter with a 10-foot-pole so I just replied, “SURE!!!” Of course, I had to ask SK whether we could throw her into the pool or not, and she didn't seem too excited about that prospect :)

Yup, and the time came for the cake to be presented!! It was a Secret Recipe cake, Chocolate Banana flavor, with “Happy Birthday Ade and Cheap²” written on top.

After the singing of the birthday song in 3 different languages and cutting the cake, they (like I said, I’m not touching this matter with a 10-foot-pole) took SK out and threw her into the pool!! She didn't look too angry about it so I guess she was already expecting it even before we came haha!! Next was Adeline’s turn!! Even when she was sick and her mom didn't want any of us to throw her into the pool, she can’t stop the inevitable and in the end she was in the pool in a matter of seconds :P. And somebody also wanted to be thrown into the pool voluntarily; Chung Wei!! Of course, we all thought he was very ‘wu liao’ and we didn't really want to, but he kept insisting on throwing him into the pool. Finally, SL was very excited to throw him into the pool and I helped her-lah XD. So all in all, 3 people were in the pool at the end :)

While Ade and SK went up to change to dry clothes, we went in and started opening the dry gin on the table. It was only when they came down that we presented them their birthday presents!! A bag for both the birthday girls, and according to SL each bag was about rm300 each but she managed to get the price down by 95%! The true makings of a future see lai, no doubt!!

Our master cocktail mixer, Choi Lin, then started mixing the ‘dishwasher looking’ lime syrup with water and gin and handed it to those interested. SL was the most interested and she drank, like, a lot of cups of dishwasher liquid gin!! I think she was drunk after a few cups cos she started screaming ‘calm down!!’ in Cantonese frequently. HL said that this was a sign that she was drunk, which was quite interesting because I’ve never seen her drunk b4!!
And that’s the end of what I can recall for this party, cos I left early :P I’m not sure wat happened next, so if someone can fill in this space, it would be gr8!!!

May Yee:
Well, since "the night was still young" after a few of them left (I think Dada, June, SK & William left first), the rest of us just talked rubbish and observed while we waited for SL to get more drunk =P As there were no ice left, CL couldn't mix anymore drinks to make SL more drunk... CW, WB & Mich went out to get ice but came back empty handed (dunno why all the 7-11s around Sentral were out of ice at 12am...)
In the end SL went to sleep on the couch in the multi-purpose hall... Now we know she's really drunk.. because when she's sober, she's very hyperactive... hahaha
CW & WB had to carry back out 3 heavy tables (wow, William.. you came late enough not to help start the fire - i had to replace you - and you left early enough for the other 2 guys to do the heavy lifting... how convenient.. HAHAHA)

Happy Merdeka!!!

In the... erm... spirit of merdeka, here's a joke I came across online =P

After digging to a depth of 100 meters last year, Russian scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 1000 years, and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network one thousand years ago.

So, not to be outdone, in the weeks that followed, American scientists dug 200 metres and headlines in the US papers read: "US scientists have found traces of 2000 year old optical fibres, and have concluded that their ancestors already had advanced high-tech digital telephone 1000 years earlier than the Russians."

One week later, the Malaysian newspapers reported the following: "After digging as deep as 500 metres, Malaysian scientists have found absolutely nothing. They have concluded that 5000 years ago, their ancestors were already using wireless technology."

Proud to be a Malaysian...


Happy 50th Merdeka ;)
