24th March 2007, Sat

I don't remember what time i woke up.

Only know that in the afternoon Qs and Jason asked me to go out. Since i already agreed to go to the bbq, i had to put them on hold.

What's with QS and gang + mahjong anyways... seems they're playing it every other day..

Anyways i slept a bit in the afternoon cause i was horribly fatigued~~ Woke up at 6+ by Weixiang's call, and i took 333, then 188 to Harbourfront where his gf's brother fetched me to the location.

Labrador park was a pretty ... secluded and generally dark place. They warned me about the mosquitoes, so i took it as my duty to make sure all the mosquitoe coils were constantly lighted.

Okay who's there, Junling and GF, Weixiang and GF, GF's brother and me.
GF's brother left after a while to fetch his friends from JP here.

So mostly it was the 5 of us doing the bbq. They tried quite a lot of dishes, like the soya sauce chicken. It took two tries before they got it right, and it really tasted pretty good. The honey nuggets were cool, and the honey hot dogs though they look albeit burnt, it tasted sweet~ (Hey, i did it, so give me some credit). The cheesy potatoes didn't taste anything, and i had to add some salt on it. The honey apples were sweet and good, but i don't think you're supposed to eat more than a couple of pieces. Haha. The otak was pre-bought, and was okay.

The cheese hot dogs didn't work out that well =_= And some other dishes that i forgot.


All-in-all, i reached at about 8, and we bbqed til around 10:30 when the Winds came.
All of a sudden the wind just started to blow very hard, and it didn't stop! It just kept blowing and blowing. Around 10 minutes later we decided that the rain was coming, and that we should abandon fort. We started to clear everything and 5 minutes later gf's brother came back with his friends.

I think his friends must have 'sianz diao' on the spot. I would if i were them. Fortunately, they had like 5 cars in total for the 8 of them and the 5 of us, so it wasn't really a worry.

After talking a long time on where to go, we decided to first buy charcoal at Giants (it was already 11:15) and then go to Weixiang's area to bbq.

When we reached Giants at 11:30, we browsed through a couple of stuff, and got some ice-cream before we started queing up. Think that was a mistake cause the queue took at least 20+ minutes. The guy way up front has a total of $365.50! That's pretty insane if you ask me.

Oh yea, did you know that UOB credit card holders get a 1% rebate at Giants? Think about it man! If that guy was a UOB credit card holder, he'll have saved $3.65! With that money saved, he could've taken a cab! (Not at midnight though)

We reached the cars at around 12:30. I tell you if i were his friends i would really have sian diao.
Off we went to weixiang's place, and then he got his eq, and some chairs down to the multi storey car park.

They started the fire.. or should i say gf's brother Alvin started the fire by himself. Think Alvin was in quite a bad state. None of the others were helping him, they were just talking to themselves, and sheesh, most of them were wearing pants, long-sleeved shirts, etc.

If you ask me, they look more like they're going to cheong instead of a bbq. Think they're all around the age of 22.

After the fire started, it was really a fire(how do i put it? They used way too many fire-starters, and were literally burning the nuggets.). Thankfully we were pretty much finished with our bbq, so we just munched on the chips and ice cream we bought and chatted.

They got enough of it after a while and at 2:45 they decided to call it a day. Washed everything up and left for home.

Weixiang was saying some stuff about his brother... like he's old enough to know what he's doing. Frankly speaking his friends didn't really look like his friends. This bbq is like a one man show =_=

Ah well. Its not for me to care, but he reminds me a bit of myself, just that i don't have a car. haha.

Well i won't ever be like that. No one's going to be able to use me that blatantly.
He drove us all home, and i slept at 5+.

Isn't it weird? 2 groups of people having a bbq, but it turned out so differently... a strange twist of fate perhaps..
