Drift in anytime between 6:30 to 8-ish. Cocktails will begin at 7pm. Will serve dinner when all guests are seated.
Will play Ur's boardgames for a bit then kick back with a movie. Later, time permitting, you might want to lounge around on the balcony sipping tea/coffee with cakes to watch the sunset sprouting poetry, and then later to take a look at the moon and/or Jupiter through the telescope after dark.
I'll cook a simple dinner for you guys so don't bring anything except maybe dessert.
Simple fare from simple people living a simple life.
Double-boiled lotus root soup <--- there's always soup. I'm Cantonese dammit!
Stir-fried seasonal vegetables in light garlic sauce <--- we need our greens
Pan-seared pork with potatoes in dark soy sauce <--- no Chinese meal ever complete without pork
Plain fragrant rice <--- nuff said
:P
All welcome!

THANK YOU everyone for a great time! Haven't had so much "hatchday" fun in years. Hope you guys enjoyed the dinner. Thanks for the gift. Spent hours going through it yesterday.
ReplyDeleteJos - I hope we didn't scare you with all our "nutty-ness"
Centaur - hopefully it wasn't too late past your bedtime
Moose - I still have your book. :P
Sally - Thanks again for the Pig Cannon and hope staying up late didn't make your cough worse. :P
Ur - Thanks for the great organisation
and... ah.... someone post pictures pls?
ah,,, that somebody is Ur, and yes, Ur, I arrived home safely, sorry, my cellphone was out of juice.
ReplyDeleteGood thing, I did not have to wear a ribbon around me, to annouce my position as the 'surprised' guest... just that I had to wear the crown for Citadel, and guess what? it pays to be a thief!
Yeah, coming up, maybe tonight. And video too. Just have to go through every frame to make sure we cannot see Centaur's face in any of them (so far none found).
ReplyDeleteDon't forget Dr Leong took some pics and video as well (which continues from the one I took) so get her to post them up too.
Dinner was good with emphasis on the curry. Thanks for sending all of us back especially considering the late hour (well... early). Next time no need lah, we can take taxi.
umm, yah.... thanks for editing, you are such a gem.. *gives a flying kiss to Ur.*
ReplyDelete*Ur flies ten feet and smashes into the wall*
ReplyDeleteMight need a wee bit more time with that editing...
hahaha, poor Ur, sigh, if it had been someone else, poor Ur might not have smashed into the wall... tsk tsk tsk..
ReplyDeletePowerful are you with the Force.
ReplyDeleteAlso not forgetting Moon, Mok, Charlotte and Louis who, while not there in person, were with us in spirit!
ReplyDeleteErm...and not forgetting me, I hope....
ReplyDeleteOh, you were in our thoughts...
ReplyDeleteThanks Jieming for the wonderful dinner, supper and everything....the instruction book is yours for good (haha)....will start looking for the sexiest frenchmaid uniform for your next birthday....
ReplyDeleteadio! frenchmaid uniform... tsk tsk tsk, his baobei would be happy to gain a maid, but what about her manly husband?
ReplyDeleteYes, AB, we love the dinner, and thank Dr. Leong for the lovely curry, it is really, really very nice.
... and Yongzheng, why are you not with us? next time, will boil you alive for no appearance... (wait, would that make you disappear on us completely?) nah, strike that out - will camp outside your museum and picket your boss for the days off. hehehe.
I honestly miss you folks too... and Baobei's cooking..
