(ATAN'S) tuition gang BBQ party (annual event)

It has been an annual thing.
So, we vowed to make it an annual event.

Even if it means doing it, without him.
Him -- the mean old tuition teacher.
So, STPM was over like a few weeks back, considering that most of the students are still in Ipoh, pursuing form 6, we decided to have it after the big "S".
The planning was easy.
Took a few phone calls, and a meet-up in JinNaa's place one nice afternoon, and we were set going.

Like every other year, we had this BBQ party in Jin Naa's place.
Well, like a tradition.
However, things went a little different this year.
We decided a change of venue in Taman Siong Choon.
A 10-minute drive away, with your car speed of 60km/hr.
We took the shortcut that not many would know, and we arrived safely, just to get things prepped up.
Aww, I have to mention this.
Before the day, Judy and I went to get the stuffs in The Store., well, thanks to Judy for helping me out, but no thanks to Judy for a few screw-ups.
Hehhe.
Jin Naa and her family did the marinating and the satay, whereas Goh did the fish and spaghetti paste.
Simple food for the simple people.
(so we have this kind of food, like every other years)

Only 6 turned up this time around.
Most of them went off to another country, to work.
Some went off to somewhere, for vacation, or to do their shopping spree.
So, food which was prepared for 10, had to be finished by 6.
At first, since I knew Judy couldn't make it, I was afraid that it was going to be a boring party..since I clicked better with her.
However, things took a different turn, when I had Bacardi trailling my throat, soon after.

What is different this year, is also the location for this year's party.
In Yue Wen's place. Being a future Civil Engineer, I can easily see that her parents spend alot for interior design alone. There is a mini pond inside her house, with golden fish swimming around. I didn't manage to take pictures though, but trust me, you don't even need an engineer to tell you that the house took up a lot of money for furnishing.
And this time around, we did not need any coal to start the fire. We had electrical BBQ pits. And it was a hell lot convenient and easy. All we had to do was switch on the power and we were set.

Goh was the guest of honour.
She was having an awesome time in Su Ling's when I had to go fetch her, in the middle of the party, with Elaine.
(You think Petronas give free petrol meh?)
Hahha, anyway, the funniest and scariest part was, I took the wrong detour, and we ended up, driving down a stretch overlooking the cemetery.
I saw the tombs, and I didn't say a word. Even when Elaine kept coaxing me to talk, somehow, I felt an eerie feeling so I kept quiet.
We immediately took an U-turn as soon as we saw cows.
"Ok, kampung road, can la..go straight..erm..,..cows...ok, turn back-turn back..."
Goh was fetched, and yeah, it was another rollercoaster ride.

Meiloo came later with her partner.
Only managed to taste a few satays, and all of us were eager to walk around the new neighbourhood.
Houses were nicely decorated inside out, and YueWen told us that at the end of the road, there is this "Ah-long's" house, with a swimming pool inside together with an elevator. Ok.
That wasn't the scarriest part. Inside the house, there were ferrocious dogs, waiting to jump out at any moment.
Coincidently, Hoiwan's house is a few houses away from Yue Wen's, so we decided to drop by, to say Hello. Grace Cheng was back from Kuantan, Pahang and we managed to catch up. Meiling was also there, to drive them back after a night out in Jusco.
So, there were "hee-hee-hah-hahs" outside Hoiwan's place and back to YueWen's place, there were more.

I wonder if it's a Girl thing, to ever talk so loudly, and to laugh non-stop. Or is it just the group I always hang out with.?

The party ended rather early, seeing that I had to meet up with my cousins all the way from Sitiawan.
PLus, I had some Bacardi down, so I had to drive back early. I didn't manage to help with the clean-up though which I am very sorry about.
Only left Yuewen's place about 12.10 am when they had enough fun of me.There was extra food, so we had a post-party in JinNaa's place the next day. We had spaghetti for lunch!

Since, we bought food for 8, and there was only 6 of us, we had a very expensive BBQ party this year.
Almost a rm30 GONE.
However, it's not the money that I am upset about, it's the company. We used to have so much fun, in a large group, and the people who's missing are Judy, LaiYik. So, there's only 2 who's closer to us.
Aih..Harder to group us next year, and the following years, since some of them are heading to S'pore.
And, mostly, we have engineers in this group of people.
Me, doing Civil. Elaine, doing EE and Judy and JinNaa, doing some Engineering courses(soon).
[Only Goh, bad apple, doing Biology]
{so, we can never understand Biology}



*Pictures are hideous after the sweating and all. Thanks to JinNaa who did all the BBQ-ing and me, sitting around, enjoying the food. =)
