Another gathering, this time with the intended purpose to celebrate mooncake festival and play and burn some lanterns.
Met up at Bedok to shop for groceries @ NTUC with Qian Qian, Daphanie, Chin Kheng and Yong Quan. Bill was at $75.20, personally, I thought it would cost more. Yong Hou joined up during payment and we proceeded off to look for some fireworks and lanterns. Found a small shop on the way to the interchange, grab 10 lanterns, 10 sticks, 2 boxes of candles, a box of sparklers and a box of cards before heading off to take the bus to home.
RP, as usual, late. Joined us up and cause us to miss a bus… Waited another 15minutes for the next bus. Yong Quan left us for another birthday party and we went on with our business.
At a shop near my house, a few of us grabbed the amazing home-made ice-cream. I got my favorite soursop sorbet. Shiok for a hot day. Shu Qi and Reuben was found waiting outside my house like morons when they could have gone inside… We unloaded the food and started setting up the table, chairs, steamboat and etc.
By 1845 HRs, SQ was too hungry, some of us started the feast while the rest played Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles on Wii. Surprisingly, the food seemed quite alot. $75.20 and a bowl of marinated beef seemed enough to feed 15-20 people when we only had just over 10. Joel made it in time for dinner. While Hui Li and Jonathan came after some stuff they had…
Stupid weather poured heavy rain on us and we had to shift the whole table… And the stupid stray (I think) cat that kept irritating me by trying to get into my house. Samuel joined us after his church as we were about to finish dinner. Desert was mooncake made by my mum, sis and me! Baked moocakes, plain and with egg. Sadly, I forgot to take the snow-skinned moocakes. Damm!
We went off to play Wii and DS. Everyone seems to be addicted to Nintendo stuff these days… Even Chin Kheng who has a PSP intends to get a DS soon… Was like around 2300 HRS, we took a group photo before SQ and Daph had to leave early because SQ had curfew… Sadded.
Jeremy, itchy to play mahjhong, got Hui Li, Reuben and Samuel as his playing kakis. After a few rounds, Samuel’s last contact lens dropped out and tore. (His first one dropped during dinner.) He withdrawed from mahjhong and I took over his seat for a new round and playing my DS at the same time… Hahas. Reuben left shortly around midnight.
The remaining few continued playing Wii, DS and majhong. A few “soldiers” hit the floor/sofa/chairs to sleep after a tired week serving NS.
By 0400 HRS the next day, most were dead asleep in my living room. I chased them up my room where it was more comfortable to sleep and would not be disturbed by my family in the morning. Hui Li, Jonathan and Me went to clean up the dishes and pack the tables/chairs. After than, Hui Li and Jonathan left and walked to Tanah Merah MRT station to catch the early trains.
I joined the rest in my room to catch some nice sleep. Didn’t catch much before Joel, CK and Samuel took off for the early bus. Left me, YH, RP, Jer and QQ. RP took my bed, Jer and QQ shared a sofa bed I had in my room (romantic!), YH had my sleeping bag on the floor. I took the other part of the floor with a blanket and pillow.
After a few hours of sleep, the remaining few woke up, washed up and took their leave. Me, I hit the bed again with the intention of waking up at 1300HRS to go to Bedok Corner for my favorite Black Carrot Cake. I did woke up for like seconds before dozing again till 1800HRS…. Another day my carrot cake…
Well, everyone had fun and we had too much left-overs… $75.20 of NTUC, 1KG ++ of beef, mooncakes and unknown amount of rice was too much food for 12 people…
