.:. BBQ nostalgia .:.
I tot I jus POPed?
And now I am preparing myself to go into SCS, haiz. Dun get me wrong, I wanted to go SCS, but its the tot of being away from friends and family for 5 days a week and the continous cycle that follows, is kinda depressing again. Oh well, I got use to it once, I can do it again. For now, mood aside, GOF BBQ!
Lets begin with the preparations. Met up with wendy (the rest were late) first, then proceeded to NTUC Fairprice to shop for ingredients. Was joined by Joseph and Zhiyong later. Even with 3 NS men, wendy still insisted on carrying bags, and we walked to my house. Think we bored her on the way with army talk again haha. Was joined by Sushan, then we went to collect SGC. NY has a cafe now, how cool is tat. Tried to meet teachers, but only Mr Foo was around. His GL-ness remains undampened, we invited him for the BBQ. After dinner at Standard Coffee Shop, the remaining came over to my house to marinate the chicken. Apparently, leaving the frozen chicken out to defrost isn't good enuff, must soak in water. So tat delayed awhile, of which we used to webcam mich :) It feels good to be able to see her face after so long. Marinating was...hmmm disastrous? We totally had no idea what to add in, so ended up with 2 batches, experimental thighs and tested recipe wings haha. Glad to say both turned out edible in the end.
Group! Food! Food at BBQ pit! 7 Floors below! Last burst of enjoyment! Chiong ah!
By noon, the sky was uber dark, almost like nite time, so I was a little afraid it would rain and there goes the bbq. But luckily, it onli drizzled abit when I went to fetch Sushan and Wendy, advance party to prepare the stingray and corn n etc. Slowly one by one, ppl came. Webcam conference with mich, while some of us went down 1st to start fire. This time the fire was awesome (must credit myself for i spent the whole nite fanning the flame onli), so food cooking went well. JiaYen, whoever came to my house b4, dunnoe how she got lost. She called saying she was in my condo, but when i found her, she was in Chilton park...HAHA. Mr Foo then came, and ya naturally laughter follows. I dunnoe how he comes up with all his jokes n such. So all in all, it was a cool nite of friends, enjoyment n food. What more could u ask for?
Oh and here's a portion dedicated to my parents. Thks to them for sponsoring the sotong :). Thks to my dad for teaching us how to marinate the chicken. Thks to my mum for cooking her spaghetthi for us. Basically, thks to them for being as hospitable as they always are :) luv ya
