Left hse yesterday at 2.30pm to meet ai xia, hui min n vivian at jp bus interchange. We then took bus 30 to west coast and the bbq person kept on calling me to find out where i am -.- finally, he decided to jus leave our food at the pit n leave first. We had no choice but to walk faster to the pit.
Aft reaching the pit n checking the food, we decided to start the fire. Then we discovered we don't have any matchstick or lighter!! So vivian n hui min have to walk over to 7-11 which is 1 underpass plus 2 traffic light away from our pit. Then me n ai xia discovered we don't have garbage bag so. So called hui min n vivian to find out where they are. Lucky they jus reach 7-11 :) so ask them buy garbage bag hahas.
When they came back, we tried to start the fire but to no avail. The charcoal that the bbq company gave could nt be used -.- no matter how hard we tried, we still could nt start the fire. Then it started to rain-.- we only have one umbrella among the four of us.
Ai xia n i decided to jus go 7-11 buy another packet of charcoal aft failed attempts of starting the fire. We bought some tongs oso, since the bbq company only provided us with 2, which means that only one persn can bbq the food at one time :/
Finally at 7 plus, we managed to start the fire. By then, mei yi, jasmine, yoke ting and abigail had arrived. We started to bbq our food. Vivian had to leave at 7.15pm as she had to be home by 8.30pm :( we only started bbq the food so she only ate one plate of noodles n 3 sausages :(
After she left, we continued bbq-ing te rest of the food. The satay and otah was DELICIOUS!!!!! :) The fire kept dying on us-.- so we had to keep on fanning the fire to prevent it from dying. Everyone took turns fanning until our arms ache :(
We are abt to pack up when ppl from pit 6 and 9 came to borrow our charcoal as their fire could not be started as well. We decided to let ppl from pit 6 n 9 use our pit as our charcoal is still hot. Then mei yi, yoke ting and jasmine went over to pit 9 to help them set up the fire. Then we started cleaning up the pit. We even washed the tables using the ice provided by the bbq company!!
Since it was already 10.45pm, me and abigail decided to cab home as we live near each other. We managed to hail a cab faster than hui min n ai xia even though we left later than them o.O. the taxi driver kept talking to us so he didn't have his full attention on the road. So we swerved here n there and i almost knock my head against the seat infront of me -.- After that, the driver stopped talking to us(thankfully) and i managed to reach home safely in one piece.(thank god)
I washed up and started reading a book 'Sunday at Tiffany's' It's a very interesting book, talking abt the relationship between Jane n her imaginary friend, Micheal. But i decided to slp after reading a few chapters as my eyelids had great difficulty staying open.
Overall, I had great fun at the bbq!! I wanna thank everyone who is at the bbq :) But i really hope that more ppl could join us yesterday night :(
