Tasty CNY Dinner

Date: 13th February 2009
Event: Open house dinner at James and Joanne's place

I know it's like a month ago. But I'm a bit backlogged in my updates ^^". This event was supposed to start at 7.30pm. But I was late due to my underestimation of the time required to reach the Sri Petaling LRT station...and Calvin was there to pick me up. Therefore, both of us were late...but we're also the earliest to arrive (Kristine not included).

I waited for other guests to arrive, and started on the dinner first...because Calvin already started with a few pieces of duck...so impatient...lol. But I have to admit, the food were tasty. Then, more guests started to arrive. there's Ying Xin, Lillian, Sanjeev, Jamie, Belinda and a few of RAC Subang's guests. James and Joanne had to go out to buy more for the dinner. There's delicious Hokkien fried noodles, kuey teow and noodles mix and also tasty chicken and mutton satays(droool....)

Besides that, Kelvin Thum also prepared "limited edition" savoury ham and lettuce wraps and a big bowl of healthy salad. All of us had a real hearty dinner. Since Calvin had to leave early due to unacceptable personal reasons, he had to be punished...with a few rounds of Black Lable mixed with Coke (Luckily I didn't left early either...or else I'd be flat out on the floor already before I even leave =="). But before leaving, there's a special occasion.

It was James and Lillian's belated birthdays, it was supposed to be a surprise. Ying Xin was in charge of buying cream cakes that were meant to be mashed into their faces but her friend bought sponge cakes insted. Still, they were used to mash into the birthday boy and girl's faces anyway. After that, the real birthday cake was brought out and everyone had a share of it after the candle was blown out. It was a really fun open house and I hope there'll be more to come. ^^


What we started with...nuggets, chicken cutlets, duck and Domino's ^^
