Gail's Birthday Celebration!

It was a night where we need to celebrate with two birthday girls. After celebration with Pei Yiing in comm hall, we went straight to Block 2 kitchenette for another birthday celebration. For me it is the first time we rush here and there for birthday celebration. Fun!!

Double Birthday Celebration

It's Archi Boy's birthday today. He's been bugging me to do a write-up about last week's celebration, so here it is.

Well, there are so many things to write about that special birthday celebration. Should I start with how difficult it was to get Chao Yian to come to the kitchenette when he was all around the hall? Or the unsuspecting Thierry thinking that we were about to celebrate just Chao Yian's birthday, not knowing that he is going to be one of the stars of the night as well? LOL... a picture speaks a thousand words, so I'll just let the pictures talk.

Preparation: Writing cards and setting up the cake.

The birthday cake presents a dilemma. How many candles? 20, 21? In the end we decided that we put 20 and Chao Yian hold the last candle ;)

Swee Yee writing her well-wishes with lots of smilies :) :) :)

Lights off, everyone waiting in the dark. From left: Ee Hiang, Jon Tan, Phea, and Dannis.

Looks like they're having fun, despite the fan being turned of and the candles emitting heat into the already-hot night.

Swee Yee: How much longer do we have to wait? I want them both here at once, alive or dead!!
Lin Yan: Ask them to come over quickly, we're cooking in here!

One of the rare moments when you get a picture of the OMC Boss covering his mouth in (mock) surprise.

Chao Yian: Since the you deprive me of my candle on the cake, it will be lighted on your head!

Cutting the cake - all smiles!

I don't have an inspiration for this pic's caption, so let me refer to the bak kut teh post. Yay I got it. Do you know why this picture is here? Could it be because of the... height?

The people who helped to celebrate - and eat the cake!

More candid shots.

Ee Hiang's half asleep.

Thierry: Hey, how dare you sleep during my birthday celebration! You must be punished!

CY and Thierry dug the knife into a cake, and that's as far as it went. Ee Hiang had to do the rest of the cutting up!

Swee Yee and Thierry posing with the birthday card. Swee Yee smiles so nicely, what a contrast to... err... never mind. =p

We found Mas Selamat in disguise!

What?! It doesn't look like him? How about the view from the side?

Phea: Nah... that's not Mas Selamat, that's my youngest son who never grows up!

Meanwhile, Ee Hiang was dilligently cake-cutting.

Shereen doing a Shereen-pose!

Lin Yan and Gail - one Block 4, one ex-Block 4!

Father and Son.

OK, OK, no matter how you pose you still don't look like Mas Selamat, so give it up. No, that doesn't mean you look like Jay Chow either.

Ee Hiang's masterpiece! Exactly one piece for everyone!
Finally! We get to EAT!

JJ: Last to finish writing the card and first to demand the biggest piece of cake!

JJ: No, Chin Wee, a guitar has 10 strings, not 3.
*Btw this guitar had a broken string on that day itself.

Chao Yian carrying a big baby.

All guys pic: Chin Wee, Dannis, Phea, Thierry, Chao Yian, Jon Tan.

All girls pic (excluding the two in the middle): Shereen, Swee Yee, Ee Hiang, Archi Boy, Chao Yian, Gail, Lin Yan.

Shereen's a-bit-burnt but still-nice red bean soup! A MUST drink!

Where's my soup! Serve me serve me!

Dannis advertising the benefits of the soup, with Chao Yian listening on.

Shereen: Ahh... cut the crap, just finish the soup and tell me it's nice!

That's all for today, all pictures taken in block 2 kitchenette by the way.

Birthday Report brought to you by Gail =)

BAK KUT TEH dinner in Block 2

First I want to ask for apology due to the delay of this Bak-Kut-Teh dinner post. Currently I'm busy with float or rag, no time for me to touch my computer.
3 months holiday, most of the people are having fun time at home, left us who are committing to Holiday Comm in hall. All of us were running out of mind where to have our dinner! Suddenly someone suggested to have a Bak-Kut-Teh dinner. Talking about Bak-Kut-Teh, miss Swee Yee from Penang was very excited, it is time to show her kitchen skills!! haha.... and another chef, Mr JonTan also joined in to cook.
7.30pm, they started to cook (actually i was very hungry at that time). Ingredients are ready, Bak-Kut-Teh pack, onion, chicken, Tau-Pok and mushrooms are all nicely cut.

If you are interested, please look carefully and get to know what to put. For more information, ask Swee Yee.
