Chalet!

Mood: Overly Happy

It was the highlight of the month of March. We waited for a whole month for this chalet. Finally its here woot! 3 days 2 nights away from home. Just like a holiday but the only difference was that I had to cook. Initially, we planned for a potluck over at my place for some shisha and movie to send Khai off to Germany but it ended with this chalet which, to me, was even better. I get to spend some time with him without worrying if he would be late to take the last train home. I guess, I was dreading the day that he would fly off.

Anyways, after a month of planning and a whole day of superb marketing, the plan was executed perfectly with a few minor hiccups such as Abang getting lost in the Commonwealth area. The itinery for the day right after checking in was to drive to Nish's place to get her marcaroni goreng she left behind, then to her friend's place to get these olive dip thats so delicious when u eat it with french toast. After that, off to Commonwealth to get the 5 kg of chicken wings and the satay for the BBQ, pick Khai up from Redhill then back to the chalet.

The hiccup only started after a break and a few ice kacang at Commonwealth because one wrong turn and we ended up at Lornie road instead of Redhill. [For those who are unfamiliar, thats really really really far.] Then after that, we just couldn't get out of the CBD area. Sheesh.. I wonder if its true that all Singapore roads lead to Orchard Road. This always happens if my Dad or Bro drives. Or prolly they are just men.

Once we got back, everybody rushed to start the steam boat.. Khai had to marinate the chicken, the girls started the steamboat. Just imagine if we all lived in the same house if we behaved like this..

And Khai's marinate was superb. And I'm not saying this because his my boyfriend. I can't believe this.. the words 'My boyfriend' rolls so easily over my tongue in this relationship.. My Boyfriend..

Back to the story, it was an amazing steam boat. we were missing a few stuff but it was fun cooking.. Especially changing the dialouge of Dimensi 4 on Suria. Frankly speaking, the show isnt scary at all but I don;t know why they have those Parental Guidance thingy.. its just a waste of space.

So after we cleaned up and everything, we set of to Geylang to buy.... jeng jeng jeng....

DURIANS

haaah! durian party lah beb...

We came back around 3am from Geylang after buying $22 worth of durians cos Abg got lost again around that area. It was fulfilling.. Abt half a year not peeling and eating durains. there were so much of it that 1/3 of the durians were left over for the next day. And guess who peeled them.

Right after waking up and sending the guys to work or school, we peeled them cos Fiza couldn't stand the smell of it. hehehhe She don't know what she's missing.. So during the day, the 3 girls became housewives... haha. We prepared the 5kg of stingray, the chicken and everything needed for the BBQ. The menu goes:

Pari Panggang with sambal chilli

Khai's marinated chicken

Huge prawns with coriander and garlic butter

Squids with sambal kicap chilli padi

KFC Chicken thanks to Khai's Mum

Satay from Cik Man's Wangi Stall

Hotdog

Fishball

Vegetable Kebab

Cut fruits [this is the first health concious BBQ I've been to]

free flow of fruit punch and calamansi juice

And because there was an overwhelming amount of food, we called anybody we know. Thanks Mr Majid, Zaza and friends, My bros and Hayqal, Abg Sheikh, Dawood and Fiza's Bro Hafiz.

BBQ nya sukses!
