woohoo!! a day to swim, to have steamboat and to celebrate the June babies birthday. Joshua volunteered to borrow out his house for us to held all activities there. yeah, we got to swim at his condo's swimming pool, got to have steamboat at his house too.
but yeah, of course we have to buy those ingredients and prepare for steamboat for tonight's dinner. shopping for whatever ingredients, foods, drinks, meats that we needed at the supermarket.
and it felt as if we were typical aunties looking the price tags, comparing for the cheapest prices. and we really bought hell lots of foods for tonight :D
choose choose!
all the items we bought!!
and yea, after that Joshua led the way and brought us to his house which was somewhere at Bukit Panjang. it's so far inside, such a long walk from Bukit Panjang Plaza. imagine all of us were carrying bags and bags of items.
anyway, his house was big. that should be the second time i went to his house. we placed those items accordingly. some inside fridge, some remain outside. and since we still have lots of time, we decided to play a few rounds of Saboteur first before proceeding down to the swimming pool
we managed to play a few rounds of Saboteur, and throughout all the rounds, i'm the Saboteur. hahaha. like so fun to be the Saboteur and sabo the miner.
playing Saboteur!
well, with 2 saboteurs and 3 miners
and whee!!! after that at around 3pm plus, time to proceed down to the pool for a short swim. in fact, was to play with water. we planned for a swimming days together, but in the end only 5 people jumped down to the pool, the rest back out with all sort of nonsense reason! hahaha.
anyway, the 5 of us just went ahead to swim. and we had quite a hard time taking picture as the security kept aiming at us. yah, we know we shouldn't take photo at the swimming pool. but then we still managed to do it sneakily, heh!
the part where we were at was pretty deep. it's around 1.8m deep. oh my god, so freaking deep. at least 30cm above my head when i stand on the ground.
a group photo of us!
getting ready to strip
whee whee. pant gone! haha
are you ready to swim!
down we go!
doing jump shot in the pool
clinging to one another
okay. we're done swimming!
Audrey looked like a lifeguard here lol
and with our wet and water dripping body, we went back up to Joshua house for shower. there's only 2 toilets and so the 5 of us have to take turn and bathe. haha the most kiasu me went to chop one toilet first.
while the rest outside started preparing for the foods. Edmund will be in-charge with all the frying stuffs, Audrey and Shu Hua to settle the washing and marinating parts and Xue Ni to cut those foods and placed them inside bowl or plate. the rest of us remained as flower pot. our job is DO NOTHING!
turned the fan to super speed to blow dry our hair
we want be flower pot can?!
Ting Yu the first to run far far away when the oil started to splatter
all busy at the kitchen.
finally, we were all done with the preparation part. time to clean up the mess in the kitchen and have a good steamboat dinner together. and wow, the pot at Joshua house was seriously S.M.A.L.L!!!!
in order to let everyone has something to eat after the foods were cooked, we have to dump the foods up to the brim every each round. and once the foods were cooked, everyone started fighting for those foods, like some kids sia. it was so fun together.
for the first time, we eat steamboat until so clean. no leftover foods remained inside the pot and let it cooked until it turned like some soggy foods because the pot is always cleared empty after every each round.
look at the spread of foods we had!!!
STEAMBOAT YO!~
group photo
10 people. that's a big group
after dinner, we helped to clear everything. keep the leftover foods, wash he bowls, clean the stove, wipe the table, mop the floor, etc. whatever we messed up one, we cleaned it back. and it's as good as before!
and up next, a surprise celebration for the June babies birthday. we presented out the cakes which we bought earlier on at dessert cup. yeah, a strawberry one for Shun An, a chocolate one for Shu Hua and a coffee one for Joshua.
the cakes!
the birthday people happily with their cakes
HAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAY, SHUN AN
HAPPY 22ND BIRTHDAY, SHU HUA
HAPPY 23RD BIRTHDAY, JOSHUA
and their presents!!! hoh
a group photo together, heh!
and and and, we went back to play Saboteur after that, so addicted in playing until we have no choice but to stop playing at 11pm plus because we have to rush our last bus or last train home. and the most fun part was, combined from what we played this afternoon, we played a total of 8 rounds. and i am the ultimate SABOTEUR for 8 consecutive rounds. i don't know why, it's me, myself who choose the role card. and i keep on drawing the Saboteur card for 8 rounds!!! don't even have a chance to be a miner at all!
everyone has been targeting me as the Saboteur. Edmund straight away blocked me at the very start of the game, whether he know i am the saboteur anot, he just blocked it. LOL!~ it was indeed, a very fun game. being made the Saboteur throughout every single rounds, being attacked by the rest.... hahah, SO FUN yo!
too bad good things will come to an end. we left at around 11pm plus to chiong for last bus. i took 963 home together with Edmund, Ginnette, Shun An and Shu Hua. while the rest either take cab or train.
