Being a slacker

Been almost a week since I last posted. Perhaps, it's that time of the semester again, when I am just too lazy to write even when lots of things happened this week. Allright, we'll do the summarizing game again. After the BBQ on last friday, I had an intensive week of classes. Was also informed of several interesting information through classes and organizational meetings.

Then, as my weekend approached, a couple of friends (Tim, Fred, Tracy, Karen, Christa and Joe) played sports at the IM. Went to church for their welcoming week. I really liked the the skit :) Tracy won the lucky draw too! Then, to "the place" after that. Played several games there, and got myself a cup of bubble tea.

Did I mention that Elaine and I went to Linda and Andrew's place to give them a surprise earlier, Friday morning? That was a funny one.

Yesterday, Tracy, Elaine, Karen, Tina and I went to Meijers. The main concern was to get materials for making Christa's cake. Got all the ingredients. Shortly after, we (Tracy and I) started our project :) we took several pictures when making them, including Elaine's brownies (she made them for her sister). Of course, we took several bites of the ingredients we used to make the cake too. It turned out pretty well afterall, looks and taste.

Then, Karen, Tracy, and I departed for Peking for HKI's dinner. Was evidently late (but still on time, according to Malaysian time). Oh well, I see that people were still gushing in when we arrived there. Divided into 4 seperate tables, all of us "sandwiched" as we ate dinner. Food was allright. We had familiar faces on our table. As the finale approached, the committee members picked lucky winners to received the weirdest prices ever. Not going to elaborate on that.

After that, people split into several groups. Some decided that they would go to the bowling lanes, while others would get some good rest at home. It is this hour when Adeline joined Helen, Tracy and I to celebrate Christa's birthday. Went to collect the cake from Tracy's then to Christa. We were somewhat early when we reached there, so we ended up chit-chatting. Then, when the time was near, Christa was someone stuck on her phone. We decided that we would do it anyway (closed all the lights, sang her the birthday song -when she was still talking on the phone!). Yea.. and so, that went well.

As we were about to devour the cake (and was hoping that there were some leftovers for us to take home), the Indonesians GUSHED in to Christa's place. Obviously, I met with the people that I haven't met for the longest time ever! People like Diana (a.k.a centil), Suzannah, Vico, Juliani, Adeline, Isabelle, Sabrina etc. Some of which that I've not met before, like mr GOOD (his name is Bagus).

Our poor little cake was only enough for 16 people. And it was fine when the "first-migration" came in. Then, 5 more came in. Then, another 5. Then, another 2. Obviously, we ran out of cakes. So much for left-overs. LOLz. Then, another cake came in. It was a good sign. Then again, lots of people ate the cake we bake, more than the cake they bought. And so, before the other bunch of people came in (the Malaysians, including the other birthday person), our cake was completely devoured. TOO BAD! Oh well. I'm sure they had enough fun drinking earlier :P

More talking, more laughing, more playing, more TICKLING, MORE POKING. As the Indonesian crowd left, the Malaysians, the HongKong-ies, and the 2 hosts continue chit chatting amongst themselves. It was about 2-ish when we decided to leave for home. Stopped by at Brian's to get some medication, then went home.

And there you go. The ELABORATED summary of "PART of my weekend". Will post the pictures as it becomes available.


We baked this!

Again,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY...
Christa & WeiYi

and...
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY...
Linda & Andrew :)

Its okay. But the thing is... we were supposed to sit in the last table, when we changed to the third table. HAHA. I'll tell her that LOLz. No thank you for getting em addicted, and YES.. will probably play badminton in Friday as well. Take care and have a great week!

32517:
Thnx for the compliment. And yea... now that I re-read my previous entree's, I realized that I have been doing lots of stuffz over the past "few" weekends :)

Again, thnx for the compliment. I was glad that it turned out well. Well.... you must understand that I did not really cook everything myself. My friend gave me a helping hand. Same thing for the dinner at Christa's the week before :) But if you dare to risk having cirit birit, you can ask me to cook for you when we see each other some other time :)

Tracy:
Thnx for helping me out! It was a wonderful experience :)
