East Coast Park Birthday Bash [long overdue entry]

How brilliant am I? I left my wallet in school after training and I didn’t realise it until Ben called Darren who smsed me to tell me that it is with Ben’s friend, who is also Darren’s council friend. Sounds complicated doesn’t it. Haha.

Anyway, I’ve yet to blog about Amanda’s birthday. I met some of the people at parkway after getting my hair sliced in the morning. Spend almost an hour in Giant trying to figure out what kinds of food, besides hot dog and crabsticks, are suitable for a barbeque. We even went down to cold storage after that to buy more stuff because we were afraid that we would end up with insufficient food supplies. In the end, we ended up with so much stuff that we nearly died when we walked all the way from Tao Nan to parkway, lugging along the heavy plastic bags at the same time.

When we got there, we spent almost an hour, I would think, trying to start the fire in this disposable grill we had bought at Giant. The weather was just so windy that nothing was in our favour and we had to all surround the grill for a long enough period before the charcoal stones were hot enough to cook anything. It was a fun day!!! We played Volleyball and Frisbee. I had a lot of fun cooking all the food. The best was hands down the honey-butter mushroom.



We only had honey and butter, so we had to fully utilise our “marinates” to come up with something decent to eat. Of course we also took time to cam-whore. Since pictures say a thousand words, I shall just post the pictures with captions for you all to see.

Battered piece of patty that we nearly ruined by not placing it on the aluminium foil.


Playing Frisbee!!!


Everyone had kinda left by around 7.00 plus in the evening. It was just Yvonne, Aaron, Darren and I who were still lingering around because we had nothing better to do. There was still roti prata left over, because it was so darn big that we ended up not cooking them on the small grill we had to make do with. Since we still had a box of fire starters, we created this bonfire, skewered bits of prata and roasted them over the fire. Ingenious isn't it. I suggest the skewering. Haha.
