LIN CLAN REUNION DINNER '09:

After tutorial today, I caught a bus down to Jurong Point. Coincidentally, I bumped into my course mate cum IA pal, Ching Heng & his friend, Violet. Violet is one of my course mate too, just that we never really got to talk & know each other. Anyway, thanks to them, my bus ride to JP wasn't that boring & I got to know Violet better...

I went to meet up with Caryn as soon as I arrived. She was with Iddy, shopping for yoga mats... Iddy, LiXia & her are going to take up Yoga... so cool eh! I finally caught up with them, & they passed me free food! A white chip macadamia nut cookie from Subway, my favourite! (YUMMY~!!!)...

We went to the new NTUC Fairprice to shop for our steamboat items: plastics plates, bowls, cups, spoons, crabsticks, prawnballs, meatballs, seafood tofu, vegetables, mushrooms, quail eggs, sotong, chicken, shabu shabu pork, pig liver, prawns, rice vermicelli, udon & drinks... Altogether $105 worth of food, enuff to feed a table of ten! Hahaha... It was supposed to be the Lin Clan who are doing the shopping together, but all except Caryn & me, suddenly got things to do... Nvm lah, as long as everyone turns up for the dinner, that will do.

Thankfully by the time we have finished our grocery shopping, Anli & her boyfriend, Daniel, drove & picked us up from JP back to my hall. Then we went to 16D kitchenette to prepare all the food for the steamboat. Fortunately Caryn's friend, Eugene's room was just beside the kitchenette & they had all sort of cooking utensils, which we fully maximise their use! Haha. We boiled & peeled the quail eggs, cut the veggies, mushrooms, meat, sotong... Caryn was totally amazing, displaying her skills in the kitchen. Much to learn from her we have...

Finally...
Mahjong table laid, steamboat fire up, chicken stock boiling, food all prepared & placed neatly. Time to chuck in!


Wanted to take more pictures but forgot to charge my battery... Oppps

Caryn, Anli, Daniel, Vincent & I were the first batch of people to start eating. People came & go throughout the whole dinner... Vincent ate halfway & left for meeting, leaving his place to be taken over by Woods. Woods is a new friend I made tonight, during the steamboat feast. She was acquainted with Anli, Daniel & Vincent. She happened to walk past the kitchenette & was drawn in by our food. And being the friendly & hospitable Lin Clan we are, it goes without saying that we invited her along to join us in our feast! Next we were joined by Melissa who came after her dance class. She hasn't ate since that morning but still didn't really eat much during the meal.

Then Eugenia came, but Anli & Daniel went to get ice & drinks from SRC. By the time everyone was back, everybody was pretty much full, even me... who never stopped eating (who was going to finish all that food, if I stopped! hahaha) So, since everyone was full & there was still food left behind, what else to do but to play "終极密码". Loser will eat a bowl of foodstuffs placed by everyone! We were having so much fun that we extended the game to the losers washing the utensils & cleaning up the place...



Amount of food left, & everyone's "pitiful" face stuffed with food!



Lin Clan Reunion Dinner '09 - SUCCESS~!!! 成功~!!!
