keong's friends day

he slept only after his family left at 6+.

4 hours later, keong was cleaning the toilet while i packed the stuff. we cleaned up the entire place and mopped the floor. had a lil traditional breakfast at $3 which consists of 2 eggs, 2 slices of bread and a coffee. we shared one set cos we were intending to get something else to eat later in the day.

we went to my mum's place, made blue, red, purple and green konnayakku jelly. while waiting for the jelly to harden, we went to collect the satay. tried looking for the place for 1/2 hour but to no avail. called the person but she wasnt of much help. we bumped our way around, managed to find the place after like another 15 minutes. parked the bike and took the elevator up. had to wait for awhile before we got our satay. we saw something hilarious when we went downstairs. a pink paper which says we have to pay parking fee of 65cents. we were laughing so hard cos we thought it was really funny.

we got home in less than 5 minutes cos the place was so near. we were frying the chicken when the delivery man of the patissier called to say he was already there. great~! what now? i called angela to ask if she could help but she didnt had enough money. so, i told keong to collect the cake while angela helped me with the frying.

keong came back after we packed the jelly and chicken, and washed the stuff. he had to do what was left which was mopping the floor. keong and i sent me to savannah to collect the bee hoon my granny cooked before he went back to help angela move the stuff downstairs. i called for a cab and picked up angela and the rest of the stuff at my mum's place.

it was 5+ when we got back to the chalet. excited about the cake, i dumped everything down and opened up the cake box. to my disappointment, they spelt keong's name as kung. wtf! i was so pissed, i made keong call them. while he was talking to the person, i was complaining in the background. the more i thought, the angrier i was. but luckily, the lady was nice to do something about it even after receiving full payment. thats what i call service. keong asked his friend to pick up the chocolate tag that the lady promised to make.

angela helped us with the balloon deco while we took turns to shower. the chocolate tag arrived with complimentary cakes but the wordings on the tag was smudged. not much of a help i thought. but it was really nice of jeremy to collect the tag on keong's behalf. friends started coming in while i helped angela a lil with the balloons.

after we were done with the balloons, we started cracking our brains to how we could save the cake. we thought of melting chocolate, putting it into a paper cone and squeezed the wordings onto the other side of white chocolate which was smudged. so, we went to cheers, bought milk chocolate. excitedly, we went to the bbq pit, made a small aluminium tray and tried to melt the chocolate with some margarine. similarly to the last time i tried, the chocolate thicken and everything clumped together. plan A failed.

qin suggested chocolate fudge. we went to cheers but they didnt sell it. plan B failed.

i thought for awhile and asked where could we get ice cream. angela replied mac. we bought chocolate sundae, requested the person to separate the chocolate fudge and ice cream. confident, we rushed back to the chalet. i scooped the chocolate fudge into a white plastic bag and angela cut a tiny hole which turned out too big. we tried the second time with a even tinier hole and voila! i practised on a piece of aluminum foil before doing it on the white chocolate.

angela and i was so happy and satisfied with the end product. not very professional but it was the best of the worst. anyway, i ran to the bbq pit and asked keong to come to the room. he was touched with our effort.

finally, angela and i could have some food. we joined the rest at the bbq pit.

at 9.30pm, we started the cake ceremony cos some had to leave. the presentees are lyd, qin, javvy, choon peng, reys, ying xue, joan, gamy, alaric and his gf, gavin and mei de. keong had his short speech thanking everyone. the cake was nice, just a lil sweet.

shortly after most of them left, a few other groups came. andrew, kim, sky, jasmine, germaine, zhi yong, aloysius, choy bee and 2 others who i name mr xian and mr quiet. later in the night, it was only keong, angela, mei de, mr xian and mr quiet. angela and i was getting pissed with mr xian cos we could hear his nonsense from the next table.

after the lights are turned off, we cleaned up the place and went back to the room. keong, angela, mei de and i started playing mahjong. we spent our time playing mahjong till sunrise. i was so sleepy, i took a short nap.
