17/04 BBQ at Westbay Condo

I have been cordially invited by Xin Hui for a BBQ at her residence, Westbay Condominium. Hehe in fact all my fellow peers working in the Electric Drives and Machine Lab have been invited over too. I guessed it's a nice gesture of Xin Hui to organize this BBQ so as to bring everyone together for the last time before we graduate from this University. Don't worry Xin Hui, we will give you our strongest mental support and encouragement in course of your PhD candidature.

Anyway met up with Weixian outside LT7A at 4.15pm before making our way to "Shop n Save" at Ginza plaza to buy some charcoal over. We are pretty surprised to bump into Haihua in the supermarket. She was on an errand to get extra charcoal, brush for butter and some fresh limes. I guessed she was pretty relieved to have met us, 2 strong guys to help her mule the stuff over XD We are pretty lucky to have escape through the torrential rain unscathed which started moments we had reached. Went up straight to Xinhui's apartment and met her flatmates. The guy, her flatmate, actually owned an exotic sealife aquarium with lotsa nice corals, crabs, prawns and sea anemone!! Must be an expensive hobby to upkeep maintaining the PH of the water, temperature and stuff. Nonetheless it was an aweful impressive sight to be the centre of attraction in the living room. Heard from Haihua that Carol's birthday would be coming up soon and she handed us a card to write our birthday wishes on it. Xinhui specially made a greentea cum red bean cake for her birthday in the kitchen....hmmmm smells yummy. Before I could feast my eyes on the end product, I was shown the way back to the living room...I guess this was part of the surprise for Carol XD

When the rain stopped drizzling , the majority of us went downstairs (Terrence, Weixian, Sharon, Carol, Xinhui her friends and myself) to set up the place and the fire. Weixian was in charge of setting up the fire and he really looks professional in doing it~I'm serious!! See him in a relaxed pose with Sharon smiling in the background XD
















Yummy food below~~ ^0^v Grilled prawns, lamb steaks, satay and a mysterious dish wrapped up in the aluminium foil thingy. Any guesses? Hehe its stringray!! Marinated with chilli, white pepper, beer and onions, prepared by Carol XD It tastes great too! Just like the ones you buy outside from the coffee shop.










Surprise of the day!! Carol's birthday cake!! Wow doesn't it look lovely?? Xinhui can consider open a bakery shop rather than soldering PCBs in the lab yeah? XD The greentea flavored cake with red bean toppings really taste delicious~awww too bad you guys reading can't have a bite hehee.
*Happy Birthday to Carol*
















Wonder when would be the next time to have such BBQ together...Time really flies 4 years of undergraduate life has just flashed through my eyes. Thanks for this wonderful time, I miss you guys especially Jonathan, Weixian, Carol and Terrence...miss all the gossiping of Dr Ashwin, A/P Panda and even Chandra in the labs, the whining about our hardware components, the number of overnights spent in the lab. Miss you guys~Take care!!
