DIY steamboat

it's a long weekend indeed..

with saturday and sunday the usual weekend for rest,
monday a public holiday for national merdeka day
tuesday off day without any classes..

the best thing of all is 'temporarily' independent of assignments for the week,
datelines approaching only until after 1st week of september..

so, some crazy out-station friends who did not go home suggested steamboat event on pre-merdeka day..

while waiting for midnight

(hoping for fireworks, but it didnt happen.. >.<)

just to relax & hang out a bit

venue: vamchat's lair

participants: chicken egg, panda, maid, wolf & vamchat

(too bad the barney is back home,
the old grandpa in down under,
the alien had own plans i think,
and the kid's missing)

*wondering why are all my friends who joined non-human species?
do i actually have any normal friends?

anyway, here goes.. will let pics tell the story

food~! besides the raw ingredients

we oso had omelette with sausage & roasted teriyaki chicken..wahaha..

in case u didn't know, the expert maid was delegating jobs to the slaves..

haha, jk..
she was actually putting flavour cubes to the 2 pots of soup
(i.e. chicken & tom yam soup base)
can u guess which is chicken or tom yam..
left or right? big pot or small pot?

in the midst of eating

halfway thru, we were full from drinking the soup, so instead of steam boating the food, the wolfooo suggested 煎啦，煎啦..

so, this is what really happened..

we hired a panda as chef..

(who didnt add any seasoning while he pan fried the chicken, it was really 原汁原味)

see how excited the chicken egg is?

(but look carefully, the frying pan is actually empty!) haha..

now, she's finally gettin' some serious cooking..

tada~ cheesy sausages ^_^

and i managed to capture them eating in action..

first up, the pAnDa~

seems satisfied? yea, he ate to his heart's content..

then, the WoLfoOoO~

werewolf eats corn?

next, the MaiD~

sharing her tips on cleaning?

and the chicken egg~

happily with the sausages she pan-fried..

spot how all of them bz enjoying the food..

overall, that night..
food was way too much,
all of us got our tummy all filled up..

to the point where we thought the food we had could let us go through the next day without even having to eat

semua kenyang-kenyang belaka

imagine this, (before steamboat started)

food for steamboat for the night

*notice the mountain pile of vege we bought.. o.O

(after the steamboat)

and there was still enough untouched leftover food that can potentially feed another 2-3 person..

but yet, all were craving for dessert~!

and it was watermelon served with ice-cream..yum =D

forgot to take pic of it though when all were too bz indulging with dessert

& d highlight of the day was the maid got squirted with sotong's black ink on her clothes..hehe

after clearing things up,
we continued with a chit-chat session..
recalling how we knew or met each other,
was quite a memorable time..even though there were not much exciting things going on..

at the end of d day, a good get-together it was

the 'sot-sot' bunch..hee

at least we could gather around to have dinner & chill out

when we had no chance to do so for the past 6 weeks being occupied with assignments

looking forward to another session like this really..

we dont have much time left til we graduate

*is he finally missing his home (zoo) after running out from his cage to study here in monash?

probably we could do BBQ next time..
what'd ya think 3D fellas?

anyhow,
will c how it goes..
we still have many planned trips unaccomplished yet;
til then,
hope things would go well

and have a nice day all! ;P
