bbq - 17th Jan.
Finally settled on a date
*hands up* I was the Last to arrive. By the time i got there, they were allll gathered around the pit, trying to Light up the charcoals~!
- It Took A Really Long Time-
none of us are bbq experts. some had been to bbqs recently but lighting up the pit Never Posed a problem. Until Now. My last bbq was more than 10years ago at my place.
We managed eventually, after more than 2hrs -can u imagine tat? xD
We ended up burning a lot of newspapers and wasting quite a lot of the fire ingiter thingie..
trick was to use candle wax, so that the fire will stick to the charcoal n BURN IT. There's another method, sth with the stove but that was out of the option for us. the FAN, was also a really useful device.
Commencing the grilling/barbecuing
Everyone enjoyed this. Flipping wings, lambs, sausages, sticking marshmallows and Eating.
Splashing water, scrambling for more water, wetting wings, rescuing wings from Fire with a Squeak, was the official duty of our very own honourable fire-fighter - twt.
We only have two tongs/kiap so everyone took turns using it. -I forgot to bring mine X=
Some people, mostly the girls went overly obbessive with Applying the butter and Honey. Seriously. Initially, it was somewhat okay, because a fire will suddenly shoot up and along with some splash of water, the meat will get wet? hence so-called >butter and honey removed.. -dots
BUt, all the charcoal were soon burning red and twt retired from her duty to something else More interesting. Like.. Applying butter/honey~! ="" Initially it was cally & later a few people took turns doing it. . DOing it over the same meat. ="""Well a layer or two is fine~ but they did it layer after layer, from when the meat Touch the grill, till it's cooked and Removed. @#
As a result, they're Really oily.
But i seem to be the only one to notice it and be bothered by it. lol. ahwell. gk mentioned it too after tbe clean-up, where we put the wings into d microwave. Lambs finished up really fast.
But yea, What mattered was having a good time right~? xP
Up to the middle of the cookout around 8.40pm, i had to run off somewhere, but returned soon enough to Eat. (Time: 9sth) yes, i havent eaten yet.. being part of the flipping crew and all.. xDD
hmm.. i was also dissaproving with another matter.. but let's just put that aside, shall we? 8DD
Another thing to note: when we were getting the charcoal burning, allllll the smoke went to the next door neighbour. No way to prevent that due to the wind direction. but yea, the -feel bad- was felt by all.
So when everyone was quite stuffed, most retired to the chairs, leaving a few to tend to the few wings left. The fire was also running low and turning out soon. Before long, only these two were left to care. 
At that point, butter and honey was still being applied. @# but dismissed quite soon as well. *puff
Meanwhile, the others were busy with.. 
Rabbits. You got that right~ They are Gk's. he currently has 11 of them. If u're interested, let me know and i'l notify you when there's another mass reproduction of them. 
After some rest, cleaning ensued for it's getting late. So some were cleaning, washing, clearing, some mingled, rabbiting still and some left.
And that wraps up the night~
hmm, just realised, there werent any shots of myself for tat night. ahahaha x.x
BBQ eve - 16th jan
okay photos are finally up people~ in fb. mind you, i failed d uploading so damn many times..
apologies for the major delay. mind was too occupied to be loading them up n stuff.
so here's a rundown about it.
days & DaYS before, KM was walking along somewhr in sb and said, Let's have a BBQ! It'l b fuN~ at gk's house -that isnt d exact words of course.
hubert beep gk & some More days later, got d approval.
-Fast Forward to eve of bbq-
got a rang, or was it msn.. Lets go to Boulevard~
initially, i was uncertain why so many ppl r needed to buy some ingredients(well just 5ppl actually), but reluctantly tagged along anyway~
see, i wasnt really sure of what was going on. so went forth in a dazed, blurrish state. I even thought that night was the bbq. well, the dates keep changing.!.
boulevard, Meat section-
and there we were, buying chickens, Fresh ones due to marination plans right after the purchase. i Didnt know everyone present was clueless on uncooked meat. x.x well i hvnt bought any meat Myself in the past but it couldnt be that hard, rite? -i'm better at choosing fish stuff
Right.. wasnt that hard. signs of which chicken to choose kicked in eventually and spent quite some time there choosing 50 or 60 wings with the others till there isnt much good ones left. 8D
After some lamb picking, we head to the 'ingredients for marination' section. Again, clueless-everyone wasnt helping. But all along i had a few images of marinated meat stuff depicted in my mind. Then again, gota confirm what we actually needed so rang for some help. haha
Joyce's Kitchen
zoom in to joyce's after boulevard. We Packed the kitchen, cleaning, cleansing, plucking d wings and etc. Her mom hovers around us a lot and later insisted we have Tea time before we start the marination. As she puts it, let the wings, lamb dry off~
tea time- a jar of "wht'sitcalled dropped, making everyone slightly disconcerting besides d host family. lols.
Off to Marination process, where KM was dubbed the Mixer by the Commander(Joyce's mom)~
It was an intriguing experience for him i think. xD
As he said, '....this feels soo wrong..' '....this is the 1st and d last time'.
Obviously, there were plenty of hahas.
I added the stuff while he mixes, joyce & hubert Arranged them neatly into containers and gk came in time to do some washing.
That concludes the day. RUshed back in time before getting caught in traffic.
*Sorry no photos for this day*
what a way to Kickstart my 1st post for the new year~ taggg answering @@

Christmas is fast approaching~
heck it's in 2 days oO
yet the Christmas spirit isnt felt
anyhow, for the first time in months, i came online and found nothing to do. lols
so, i'll just crap randomly here
I've recently got a new monitor. It's another handy down, but the screen's bigger than my last century old, smaller screened monitor which is getting fuzzy. It's so called a 15-inch, but looks like 13 inches to me, so i dont know.. x.x and it's another Big Box, much to my disappointment. lols i was planning to finally get a flat panel -dreams shattered
anyway, with better visual display, i find that once a completely pitch black image actually has something more to it. x.x and with bigger screen, some people's self customised blog layouts doesn't cover the full screen, including my own.. whuz. an example :
hmm, fell sick yesterday. one major annoying throbbing throat + fever where sitting brought headaches and walking brought diziness. Got better in the afternoon, after swallowing 4 different pills throughout the morning. went to class~ and found tat i couldnt talk properly and just speaking required tons of energy x.x
so then, i cancelled 2 plans today, laser tag n princess mariana catch-up.
this is kim, whom i'm usually with in summer sem.
everyday she'l ask, wht's wrong wth u??
my Christmas tree isnt up this year
MV Doulos, deserves some acknowledgement.Born in August 1914, had 4 different names, 2 years younger than titanic, rumored to retire in 2010 and visiting Kuching for the last time.
the other day, was surprised to spot michelle chung's brother, joshua in the K-Melbourne shuffle competition
mobile cam failed to capture any proper shots.
and this is from weeks and weeks ago, robotics competition for 1st years in swinb.
how it goes: two lego robots, each assigned to a coloured round sponge?, compete to get all 3 sponges across the finish line (the white line). The one who completes the task first is the winner~ During the competition, robots cannot be touched my handlers after the 1st 20seconds. They're not controlled by remotes, but move about detecting the assigned coloured sponge and then the white light (finish line).
Contestant A, a steady one, belonged to a friend of my cousin's (the only person we know who's competing there). We were rooting for it~ sadly it only got to the semis but it had some pretty good runs in the early rounds~
random photo of an equally long time. Doring and i, taken in Nov.
we were hanging around, waiting for time to pass at what seemed like a snail's pace when she went around the place taking photos~
This somewhat looks more interesting than some exam tips i got that shattered my confidence.. x.X
