Weekend of fun, cooking and REd!
It was Michael's 23rd birthday yesterday, and it was theme red! We (23 of us) wore red, and we had red food! Dishes prepared included strawberry spare ribs, red eggs, red bean soup, ang ku kueh, otah, kebabs (sausages and crab stick), red jelly, strawberry tarts, cookies and a cake full of strawberries on top! Planning for this celebration began about 2 weeks earlier, which is rather uncharacteristic of our usual planning! We racked our brains really early over possible red dishes, plans to get Michael into the common room, for him to wear a red shirt as well.. Things went on rather smoothly ultimately, which was great!
Cooking began at my house at about 820 am, Shin and Jasmini came to help out! We were mixing, rolling, marinating, measuring and cooking the various dishes and my fridge was really filled up! Zi yuan and Jason came over after and helped out too! I practically transported my whole kitchen over at about 230pm! 6 hours of cooking, and most time was spent kneading and being a manual blender for the cookies.. Rolling the dough out with a wine bottle, cutting out ginger bread man shaped cookies.. It was honestly alot of fun..
It was great to see that Michael was surprised, at why everyone was in red, at why his sister was there, and that he liked the collage hao printed for him.
Had gelato at night, although I was really full, from cookies, and pineapple from the kebabs we made.. Crepe with Snickerone gelato! SOunds good? After that was cleaning up.. hiyah, the day hasn't ended yet!
Sunday: I finally confirmed my new home today, and met the kind landlords who offered to help Shin and I move. Most pressing matter at hand though, is to find a 3rd housemate! I hope we can find one nice girl to move in with us!! VOlunteering was pretty great, I did tea time myself! Just that lady who called me a bloody Asian.. doesnt sound nice huH!
ANZAC day tomorrow, more to look forward to, like visiting my patient for the first time! Like trying to get work done, like hoping my money box account doesnt decrease in value further.. We shall see!
