Hello 2008!!!
State of Being : Full *Burp*
Met up with the usual kaki for the annual NYE Countdown. Time really flies, can't imagine that we have been keeping up with the 'tradition' for 10 years now. With the exception of 1 year, where majority of the gang are working overseas and the countdown had to be called off, the usual suspects had always turned up for the countdown without fail.
For this year, since CH has graciously invited us to his condo for a housewarming-cum-countdown party, we decided to do pot-luck to save CH & his wife the hassle.
The variety of food was abundant yesterday, ranging from pizzas, curry chicken, shephard's pie, poached prawns to meatballs, "bah kwah" pao (not "kong bah" pao meh??) & poh piah (last count ONLY 2 went ahead to roll their poh piahs though). For deserts, we stuffed ourselves silly with the extremely sinful Awfully Chocolate cake plus some Chips & Dips.
What's the commotion?
Main highlight of the day has got to be the "overly-concentrated" fondue!! Despite the host's second attempt at melting the chocolate (he has done a trial run the night before), the chocolate still somehow turned out as a "thick" chocolate paste. In the end, we had no choice but to resort to mxing some chocolate Swensens Ice Cream, since there weren't any fresh milk, to de-concentrate the paste.
Somehow the fondue still look salahOverall, minus off the "miss(es)" (i.e. the fondue), everyone had lots of fun catching up with one another and I'm pretty sure that those whom were present were sure to have gain some extra pounds from the good spread!!
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1....
HAPPY 2008!!!!
