weekend

friday

potluck with the east enders. turnup was pretty good. victor's dining table was overly crowded and 8 of us had to eat with our arms close to our bodies. but the good food and the laughter that was going around definitely made up for the squishyness we experienced.

and to live up to my food orientated blog image upheld by ian..

we had sushi - salmon and unaji (vic n me), dhal (aishah), sweet and sour chicks (jq), mary's little lamb (hans), salad (edwin), chick wings and drumlets (mus), dessert and drinks (garry)

ended the night by watching phathom of the opera dvd at hans' place. i am so jealous of his plasma tv and surround sound system man! and i am so in love with the songs from phathom!... think of meeee..think of meeee fondlyyyyyy... lol

saturday

and just as i tried recovering from a good friday night, i had to prepare myself for debby's 21st bdae party! it was held at her place, which is like a mini hostel place. 10+ people living in the big house, each having their own rooms but use the same dining and play area. quite a cool place.

the party started off extremely dignified. everyone was dressed up according to her white and gold theme. there were plenty of finger food - tiny pies, pastries, hams, sandwiches, chips, wedges.. alot of mingling around with familar faces.

but after debby and maybelline (the other bdae girl) opened their presents and delivered their thank you speeches, the after party began.

the alcohol was as free flowing as the river and there was no stopping people from snatching the drinks from the 'bartender' and pouring it into ur own cup. the music was loud.. and before long, everyone was happy and high.

loads of hilarious things happened. MAN.....some were so funny, others were rather embarressing. but nothing detrimental done yeah.

venita was right. if there was a night we all HAD to get drunk and shit pissed, it sure better be last night. we had the perfect company, where people would look out for you and made sure you were happy but not in danger.. we could stay over if we got drunk. no baddies around to spike our drinks or whatsoever.

having sad that, i can only do this sort of party once in a LONG while.

too tiring for my frail soul.

and now.. back to work.

PS: i am currently nursing a sore throat. i think i got it from all the shouting and cheering last night. dear me..
