Everyone started gathering at Agnes's at around 3.30 onwards. Let me give a short rundown of the YUMMILICIOUS and "scale-breaking" foods brought by our resident chefs. I don't even dare to step near my weighing scale and it seemed that most weighing scale in GC will be resting for at least 2 - 3 days before those weight piling food gets burned off.
Che Jam and Naser - butter cake
Mary Lowdik - a cocktail of fruits
Penny - cream puffs
Joe and Stella - "tong sui" and pulut hitam
Saran and Anita - bread pizza
Taizo and Chris - pancakes
Mr & Mrs Chew - icecream potong
Cathy - muffins
Albert and Agnes, beside hosting, also supplied endless milk tea and chinese tea, tong sui, whiskey. I don't know who supplied the wadey and chutney, would the supplier please buzz me so I can give credit where credit is due? It was one of the first to be gobbled up.....Of course, not forgetting the cake a few of us shared, CHOCOLATE INDULGENCE!!!
So looking at above goodies, anyone have any idea how many calories and kilos we piled in that one afternoon?? Hmmm...Oh, and Azlan rushed all the way from a wedding invitation just to join in the get together and not long afterwards, Anusia and Venu dropped by.
It was supposed to be a surprise birthday get together for Tony's 1st Birthday with the neighbourhood's friends. I should have known better than to ask Mary Wee to "mislead" him, I guess being married for that many years, Tony would be able to read Mary like a book........nevertheless, thanks to Tony and Mary for being such a sport.
And we found out earlier of the day that Padma will be celebrating his birthday in 2 - 3 days time, so, we made it a joint birthday celebration instead and I guess, in a way, we succeeded in giving a surprise to at least one of the birthday boy.
I must make note for better co-ordination on the "surprise" part in the future, it seemed.
Some friends left early, some stayed on. And we adjourned to dinner, initially planning on porridge as everyone was saying how stuffed they were and the first restaurant we went to, the food didn't come out after an hour and we switched restaurant. By the time we have eaten, it was 10.30 p.m and we got home around 11.00 p.m, I think.
It was overall a very nice get together and outing and time really flies when you are out having a good time with like minded people.
