BBQ!

Today! Another off day. To compensate for Sat burned, when I have to do NDP. Using this day to the fullest extent, catching up with my sec. sch gang… Not going to be much more opportunities to do so in the near future, as they are starting uni soon. Day started off with me waking up late to meet them at Kang Wei’s place where they were meeting for bball before a planned BBQ. Rushed there, going pass Bt. Panjang plaza, not realising that the meeting point had been amended to there. Well, neither did the rest of them till they reached KW’s house, with the exception of Jun Xian, Kang Wei and, Chiang Wei, the people who changed the meeting location. Hahaha… Well, after I got to KW’s house, but not before getting stuck at the gate with his weird security, we all made our way to BP plaza to meet up with Jun and CW. Once we got there, spent a short while looking for them before they appeared. Apparently, CW went to Jun’s place first and they just got there also. Outstanding! And I thought I was e latest there. Went to the NTUC there, to buy the food needed for the BBQ later that day. A debating war almost broke out with Jun wanting to go for the frozen whole chicken wings whilst CW and Yun went for the fresh chicken mid-joints. After much discussion, we finally settled with the fresh chicken due to time-constrains and ease of cooking. Also bought many other things, spending about $70++ in the end. Pretty cheap eh? Haha. All this time, poor KW was getting shot at for being a poor host. I say he did a pretty good job so far, but wasn’t so used to being the organiser for such things. We went back to KW’s place once we were done buying all the food for our “chefs” to do their work marinating the food. While they did this, the rest of us chilled in the room watching Ben play DOTA.

Once they were done, we went down to play bball. The court in the condo however, had been taken up by another grp playing soccer, so we had to venture out to a court down the road which had a wooden backboard. Very old school sia. Then a funny thing started happening. Ben started missing most of his shots, whilst I on the other hand, started scoring. Ben soon started blaming the board for missing constantly. hahaha…. We played a couple of games before heading back for the BBQ, but on the way back, we saw that the court in the condo had been vacated and we couldn’t resist another game. Ben was still missing his shots at that court, so maybe it wasn’t a problem with the board after all... =p

Took a rest, before taking a bath, after which we headed to the pit for the BBQ. The design of the pit here is better than most places, the grill at the bottom made the fire was easy to start and maintain. Although, this made the distance between the top grill and the charcoal was somewhat close. This caused the food cook, or rather burn, faster than usual. The fire was also hotter than most. We had a fiery time constantly flipping the things on the BBQ to prevent it from reducing to a lump of charcoal. But sad to say, we were not that successful, having half-burnt sausages, a few pieces of squid completed cooked to a crisp, black and crispy, the chicken wings didn’t fare that well too. Ben cooked his special, Songshan Honey Chicken Wings. Delicious!! The fillets were also marinated and cooked perfectly. Kudos to the chefs! Now I’m getting hungry again. I had to leave early because of a problem at home that I shall not mention.

Cheers!

Since I’m lazy to post all the pics here, I have added a link to my picture gallery.

The guys also gave themselves Christian names, CW becoming Eugene Ong; KW becoming Alfonso Ang; Ying Yang becoming Reggie Tan and Yun was Juggernaut Ong. Can't seem to recall Jun's christian name. Oops. Hahaha…. How they got those names are still kind of a blur to me. Anyone care to enlighten me?

I shall sign off now. I got a long day ahead of me. Ciao!
