Ginnette 22nd Birthday | Barbeque

Written at Sunday, October 10, 2010 | back to top

another birthday post, and there's still more to come!!!! why did everyone choose to be borned on the second half of the year? i myself too xD

well, for Ginnette's 22nd birthday, we decided to hold a barbeque at Joshua's house bbq pit area. and the theme for today's event would be: THE CHECKERED TEAM!!

i volunteered myself together with Audrey and Joshua to be in the preparation team. so on the day itself, we met 1.45pm at Suntec Carrefour to do some last minute shopping.

shopping @ Carrefour

a trolley of raw foods!!

-hotdog, mushroom, frozen meat, chicken, etc.

it was around 3.15pm and we have to find the fastest way to get back to Joshua's house at Bukit Panjang, because the rest of the people will be there by 6pm. and we still have preparation work to do =/

after discussing all the possible ways to go back, we decided to take bus 190, because it really was not an ideal choice to take train to Bukit panjang. that area was more accessible by bus than by MRT. our main problem was, we have too many things to carry, and the bus 190 bus stop was very far away. we have to walk from Suntec to the bus stop at SMU, and that was where i came from just now =/

the funniest thing was.. we saw bus 190 at the bus stop when we were crossing the road, so all of us ran for the bus with all the Carrefour bags we were carrying, and Joshua's sandal went "piak piak piak" when he ran. he looked exactly like those "auntie" you see at the market LOL!~

well, reached Joshua's house finally. greeted his parent and off we go to his kitchen and start work!!

helping to marinating the chickens/porks.

and we have to separate them up because of halal-ness xD

before and after marinating!!

and i swore i fell deeply in love with the ABALONE SAUCE found at Joshua's house!!!! the abalone sauce smell so so so fragrant, i kept on sniffing it through the bottle, like totally obssessed with it. Audrey thought i went drank after smelling it too much!!

i added alot alot alot of abalone sauce for marinating xD

after all the marinating work was done, we carried all the things down to the bbq pit and started preparing for stuffs and so on. i am pretty bad at starting the fire, so i just helped out in washing the mushrooms, etc.

and not long after, the rest of the people, Eisha, Ginnette, Moo, Shun An and Ting Yu, came. Shun An and Ting Yu came to help me with the mushroom washing, while Moo went to rescue Audrey with the charcoal and fire xD.

setting up fire..

washing mushrooms

busy people at work.

Audrey and Moo busy bbq-ing.

while they were busy bbq-ing, i decided to dump my job aside, and take pictures!!!! and we were totally into the carema's world, camwhoring non-stop!!

The Checkered shirt people!!

playing with emotions and expressions again!!

cute picture.

Ting Yu's expression was damn classic.

she's like, "please don't rape me..."

jumping shot will never be missed out

foods were finally ready. mostly chao ta, but avoid eating the chao ta part, it was still edible. too bad all of us were too hungry, so no one did quality check on the foods. but as long as it's still edible, who cares anyway!!! lol

chao ta foods!

our ways of eating hotdog xD

a group photo before Eisha went off...

and Shu Hua came not long after, joining us the Checkered family!!

Audrey busy bbq-ing...

helping to take over Audrey's cooker job, so that she can go eat.

how nice of me xD

i was following the steps given by Audrey to cook those mushrooms. she asked me to pour soy sauce into the mushroom bowl and boiled it, we poured half bowl of it... and in the end, the mushrooms tasted so salty like hell.

and next, we wrapped those fish and prawns with aluminium foil and bbq it. and then we also wrapped potatoes up, threw it together with the charcoal and baked it.

chao ta hotdog. delicious fish. salty mushroom. highly-attacked potatoes!!

MY FAVOURITE PRAWNS ♥♥♥ !!!!!!

and since majority were lazy to remove the prawns shell. i volunteered myself and helped them removed ALL the prawns shell and personally feed all of them with prawns!!!! i removed plates after plates of prawn, i think there's like 4 plates of it. peeled until my first 2 fingers were burning.

so whenever the hot plate of prawns were up, the first prawn i peeled would be for me and i would purposely choose the biggest prawn for myself xD. and then the rest would have to queue up for me to feed them with the next prawn. i fed almost everyone except Ginnette who don't really like prawn =/

my first BIG PRAWN!!

feeding Ting Yu and Shun An.

i have no idea what's up with the people's expression behind.. LOL

everyone was eyeing on my prawn

enjoying the foods

and there was a period of time that Joshua and Moo went missing, i think Ginnette more or less knew what's going to happen next. haha. they went up back to the house to bring the cake, the DIY board and the present down.

posed with the cake!

HAPPY 22ND BIRTHDAY, GINNETTE ♥

=actual birthday: 6th October=

the grand production DIY board!!

individual photo with the birthday girl

close-up of the board

the opening present ceremony

we bought her a camera TRIPOD

immediately, she tested out her tripod. she wrapped the tripod onto the bar, attached the camera with it, and we can actually took picure without us holding the camera. so cool!!

and we spammed real lots of photos after that...

this somehow remind me of neoprint photo where all the heads were all squeezed in

multiple shots of Ginnette, Shun An, Ting Yu and me

final group photo

and it was already 10pm plus, we started packing up the place, helped to deliver things up to Joshua's house and then left for home.

anyway, this clique of friends were like expanding and expanding. it was actually from 2 different cliques, but it was somehow merged together into one big clique.. and Ting Yu today joined into our big family clique as well xD

and so, we've decided to find a new name for the clique.. and Joshua suggested Feriae as the new clique name, which in Latin means "Free Day". Hello to our new clique name!

I HAD LOTSA FUN TODAY xD!!!
