BBQ!

I'm blogging about this a day after it happened because getting home at close to 1 slightly tipsy and exhausted isn't really a good frame of mind to be blogging. Now, I'm sober =). Terence and Faii invited me to a barbequeue at Wang's place (nice of them, ain't it?).
Instead of starting at 5 like Terence said he would, they winded up starting at 7 plus. I was rather hungry so I ate parts of a potatoe first. Put my social skills to the test by mixing around with people I didn't quite know. Bern, Daphne, Choong Wing, Wang, Derrick and some others were fairly interesting and nice to talk to, despite never speaking to them before. Swigged beer, coke-vodka mix and binged on chocolate and apple pie, chicken wings, beef, mushrooms and marshmallows. Terence did ALL the cooking for us and only ate after most of us were sated...poor guy. But his cooking was real brilliant and the food tasted heavenly and not like carcinogenic cinders. Thanks for everything! Lounging on the bench, socialising and getting amused by the crazy antics of the semi-drunk or perhaps slightly of the guys was certainly a swell way to spend a Friday night. The influence of alcohol coupled with natural whackiness was an explosive combination which ignited the pyromanic streak in the guys and they wrote flaming words with Zippo lighter fluid. To top it all off, someone threw vodka into the pit and whoosh went the fireball!
People left in drib and drabs throughout the bbq party and by 12+, there were only 5 of us left. Daphne and me help to clear up and I felt less guilty about hardly doing any work. Cabbed home with her and I think I need to burn off those calories =P.
