Beth'z mini chalet party / Sunday, December 17, 2006
Juz went for beth'z mini chalet party at downtown east yday. Well.. i guess the party is held for her boyfriend but hers is coming too. So i end up getting present for Beth but forget all abt her boyfriend zhong lian! oops.. luckily joon realised that it is not v good to go there empty-handed so me, joon, irene and her friend ri yang chipped in for a bottle of red wine. First, I meet up with irene and joon to go choc.a.bloc at bedok north to help beth collect the cake meant for zhong lian. Apparently their cakes are top rated by the straits times! beth ordered the Mum's Frudge. whoo the moment we stepped into the small n cosy shop, we were totally engulfed in the sweet smell of chocolate mixed with cookies. Ahh heavenly~ was really tempted by the Americano Truffle as it is made up of my fave dark chocolate! However, Irene brought me back to earth when she commented how sinful it is. haha..
Irene'z friend ri yang was really kind enough to fetch us from bedok north to downtown east. As we reached the chalet, we were all treated to homemade chicken rice. It was tasty but i was saving my stomach for the bbq food later~ Oh ya gonna tell u this really classical senerio. Because joon n me went to buy the red wine, irene n ri yang arrived earlier at the chalet. She gave the present to beth with a card. The problem is, I shared the card with irene. And the bigger problem is, I hvn wrote on it! *faint* Later we managed to steal the card back when Beth is not looking!
Irene needed to attend another friend'z party so she left n will come back at 11+.. Joon and me were not really familiar with beth'z other friends n family at first, though we know her younger bro n sis. But then her friends n family were really friendly n we didn nearly feel left out~ We tried to help out her auntie, clumsily poking chicken wings onto the bbq sticks. beth'z aunt was a pro at preparing all the bbq stuff. There were all types of sauces on the table n even garnishes available~ Whoo the bbq food didn fail my expectations.. Other than the slight chao ta, the flavouring was just nice. I liked the prawns and sotongs. Although I am not a sotong person, but the sotongs were bbq-ed to perfection which doesn have the rubbery texture! top it off with lime juice n some garnish, simply delicious! ok i am getting too carried away now..
at 10+ we were ready to give zhong lian his bday surprise~ We took out the cake from the fridge, lit the candles and proceed to ambush him at the bbq site. I think this is really special, coz actually zhong lian only got a friend who came. the rest of us were beth'z friends and family and all of us were singing bday song for him! I think he was touched by beth'z effort but he is those cool type who dun really show it. see beth n her bf so sweet~ can see that he treat her well. ooh finally get to taste the cake! All chocolatey! mmmm the outside of the cake is smeared with chocolate. The inside is moist and also has soft chocolate in between the layers! Really good~
Irene returned to the chalet and the time is ripe for some alcohol~ Beth'z friend brought this really special wine that has a creamy taste! he is called "Nancy" coz he'z such a nice guy who can do the chores.. he can b q useful! haha humorous guy too.. the thing wif me n alcohol is that my stomach started acting funny before i even felt tipsy. then my friends fuss over me coz my face was becoming red.. diaoz.. haha but nice to have friends that care lah.
In the room, irene, me, joon n zhong lian played bridge(yay i finally mastered it!). thx to irene who bring the cards. The others were studying er hu(??) or playing xbox. Irene n beth'z cousin Li Ping found out their they had a really weird common interest! I cant really understand them! haha they both love horror movies lah! then they can really excited~ Irene was at her dramatic best as she narrates the horror film Silent Hill. This is a classic irene moment: irene was excitedly blabbering horror but she screamed when beth'z sis suddenly sit up on her bed with hair falling over her face. We all fell over laughing so hard. Irene ah.. wanna scare ppl but end up scaring urself! haha even beth'z aunt also cant help laughing out!
At abt 3+ most ppl already v sleepy n cannot tahan anymore. but i came prepared not to sleep n also hard for me to sleep in cramped places. a few of us took a walk to the mart n after that we had nothing much to do so we sit around by the light near the toilet. me, joon, beth'z cousin n bro n zhe wei.. we looked a sorry lot sitting around. We chatted and basically tok lame things lah. beth'z bro jeremy was lamest~ hand it to him man! like to mimick his idol zhe wei ah.. haha zhe wei also dunno how to handle him. my stomach hurts coz laughed too much le lah! took in too much air! we pretty noisy then caused irene cannot sleep~ oops!
6+, the sleepless went down to mac to have breakfast, saw alot of "zombies" lying around there. we joined in n nuah there for half an hour then we order the food. breakfast was satisfactory.. my tummy felt abit better. beth n zhong lian came later.. wah zhong lian looked so refreshed! of course lo slept so well~ after breakfast was home sweet home! straight bus home. after shower n brushing up, popped down on my bed like a dead log!
Hopped!
