Bbq at priest’s place
Dina & Kanesh suddenly called for mamaking on the 4th day of CNY. Tried to get Wei Wern to join since it’s been so long we’ve last seen him, instead got into his voice operator. Discussed about having an ex-bbian bbq gathering over at Kanesh’s since his place has a big porch. After that, went over to Amcorp Mall to take a night stroll down the Padang Timur field cos we’re practically so bored. It’s already 11pm and obviously all the shops inside Amcorp have closed, except for one music and movie retailer with still had the volumes turned on loudly, echoing the entire mall. Tomorrow’s priest bbq, was wondering how things would turn up..everything was so last minute. Managed to get Sean prepare a 20 person ayam rendang to add on among the dishes and will be bringing my brand new grill stand which I can make use of it now . He suggested trying his cafeteria’s acah (you know..the one with spices mixed with vegetables) as they served it the best but priest & I thought it wasn’t something that’d fill our bellies as much.
Gotta pick up Ostro and Choo Yen from the LRT station at 6pm, so told Sean I’d pick the ayam about 5 plus. Left the house about 5.15pm to Assunta Hospital. Was a little skeptical picking up the food from a hospital..well it’s still early CNY and I had to step foot into a hospital..I know..it’s silly superstitious but then again I believe it isn’t a good omen to do so..within these 15 days of CNY. What the heck..just grab the chicken and leave lah. The cafeteria’s located on the 5th level. He told me to go by the lobby entrance and I thought there’s somehow a connection from the level 5 parking bay to the hospital but apparently they aren’t connected. Had to take the lift down back to the lobby and take another route to the correct lift leading directly to the cafeteria. Paid RM24 for the ayam..gotta go the LRT station..perfect timing. Picked both of them and headed straight to priest’s place. On the way, received sms from priest saying Farah won’t be coming due to some stomachache..sigh..disappointment written all over our faces.
Reached there about 7pm, got out the ayam randang and the grill stand. Surprisingly, Sookie was here very early then expected LOL..told me she’d come about 8pm or sumthing. Started setting up the grill with the help of priest’s dad and Ostro. Out of the corner, thought I saw Myn and by jolly yeah she’s here! With Farah! Dang…priest got punked LOL. More and more usuals turned up..Mandy, Teng, Kenny, Evonc,Yok, Aris, Arjuna & his sis, Kai Ma & Kai Yeh as well with several other priest’s friends. Fires burning smoothly..up and ready for bbq. Later that nite, what would make a perfect bbq if there wasn’t a game of blackjack (It’s CNY LOL!!) Can’t remember how many rounds but in the end lost about RM10 or so..sigh..didn’t scrub the luck hard enough. Was already leading the game with 2 straight blackjacks in a row for the first 2 rounds and after that it just went unpredictable up and down..LOL
About midnite, went over to Asia Cafe for mamaking with Teng, Ostro, priest, Kai Yeh & Kai Ma. Brought up lots of stuffs regarding about the clubs’ stability which I won’t say more to preserve what’s been discussed at that point remained at that point. Left around 3am, dropped priest back and went home..what a day, in the end the bbq did turn out successful I’d say ;-).
