house warming

technically, it should be called a room warming, since i'm the new one to move in. haha. next time remember to tell me to think twice before i invite 15 people and cook everything from scratch. thank goodness i had the dedicated help of...victor! and my housemate jessica. they are fantastic people. i would have never done it alone..

so let's see, there was stir fried spaghetti, fried rice, soya sauce chicken drumsticks, herb chick wings, battered prawns, lamb kababs, mussels in tomato sauce, miso soup... ending it all with longan almond jelly and watermelon!! ;) everyone liked the food. phew phew. and we had a good time laughing at how slow singaporean swimmers swam at the commonwealth games. we were 7th in some men's rally. the aussies and NZ and canadians were swimming in one direction and our fellows were still catching up from the opposite direction. malu sia...

PS: victor and i looked like shit in the pic because we were busy cooking we didnt bother changing into nice clothes. my messy hair...ahhhh

btw.. time for some names.
top row: aishah, victor, musdyana, david, ian, hans
middle bit: alfred, me, kristin
bottom row: garry, venita, jessica, joanne, klara, yvonne, angie.

each of them are special to me in different ways. aishah and mus make me laugh all the time. and i love the way they hate each other, despite living in the same apartment. the 2 of them are practical, crazy, fun loving, and alot of fun at parties. just see how they bought hats and wore them to my party man... (aishah took hers off in this pic though. what a pity)

david's household consists of yvonne my fake sister, angie her real sister, david whos in my pbl, and kristin, whos actually in 2nd year.. but shes nice. and their household comes as a package deal. haha. invite 1 = invite 4. lol yvonne is very big with arm gestures, and she is so slim with the longest pair of legs that goes from adelaide to singapore. ditto for angie. all 3 girls (kristin, angie and yvonne) are ditsy, super hilarious and can whine in different ways. ha ha ha

ian and venita. a couple who really should get a room!! though they always accuse vic and me. ian's chinese is atrocious and out of tune. and venita can speak better chinese den him. what a letdown to the billions of cheena people out there. but together they are cool, hip and they bake the best sticky date pudding too!

hans is a friend who i love to hate and hate to love.. haha he's full of shit, loves eating and is constantly on a diet.. and has been so for the past 2 years i've known him. he bakes very yummy bread and cakes and stuff.. and he loves his sauces and condiments and oil very much. very erm.. flavourful cooking. but we all love him even though he laughs louder den me ( i let him win one)

alfred, joanne and klara. a unexpected trio of friendship. alfred is a true goumet person. he reads fine wine and dine mags, hides exquisite chocolate and cheeses in his study drawer. he is addicted to chocolate and there is never such a thing as too much choc in his vocab. joanne is my fave galfriend! She is funky, extremely sporty (plays soccer with guys) and always game for something exciting. klara is the epitome of jap fashion. she is such a dolly - makeup, nice curls and pretty frocks. she make me look like poo when i stand to her man.

last but not least, jessica! someone who i'm trying to know more at the moment. she is really sweet and helpful. and terribly diligent and has the neatest room, neatest handwriting and clean the kitchen to cleaniness. i feel like a messy freak next to her man. HELP

so there u have, a run down of my friends. i can tell u all alot more but i guess that's enough for tonight. bye guys!! *hugs*
