Joseph's BBQ Farewell

{another draft that was forgotten, edited piece} We prepared a BBQ farewell for our bro Joe, who will be based in SYD for 2 years. Can't imagine the heartbreak & tears (kidding) that the sisters went through when we received this piece of news.

Thus, we held a farewell party for him @ Ryan's place. Laziness, coupled with the ease of online shopping led us to order our food online, via BBQ wholesale centre! Wa ha ha, just click click click and check-out! Easy peasy!

Rows and rows of food stacked up to feed 4 eating machines, heehee.

All ready to start!

Start up with Otah first

Ryan, the Otah Man! Still wearing our JC Sports T from Bannister house! So nostalgic. I think I was in the same house as him, but we always prefer the Bikila, cuz its black and deemed to be COOL at that time.

Coco became the new pet of the house & trust Ryan to name the dog Coco when it was obviously a male. He even had a bell dangling at his neck.

Leecher's dedication of the prawn to Fling, cuz Fling said good stuff abt him. Didn't take much to make him happy, easy!

The chicken wings were finger-licking-good!

Joseph was inspired by Gordon Ramsay (must be too much of Hell's Kitchen) and started his "steak" theory.

Thanks to Ryan's parents for loaning their place to us for so many years of gatherings :)

all hot and sweaty from the BBQ

with the dearest (Leecher)

The brothers wont end the night w/o getting one another drunk, look at their gesticulated gestures, all set and ready to start the challenge!

Reno Diary - Aircon

We met up with the aircon guys, recommended by our designers at our love nest, to discuss on how to place the aircon in each location.

This is for the first bedroom

Second bedroom

Lastly our Master Bedroom. We were quite appalled when the Aircon guy just took out his pencil and starting marking our beautiful new white walls. But our ID assured us that the drawings will not be visible after painting.

Reno Diary - IKEA

The favourite place for many young couples... ...

This is especially so for the theme that Blamer and I decided on.

A must for Blamer before we start our browsing.

Value for money hotdogs!

I wonder why this photo was taken, is it to capture the cupboard behind?

Exploring their cupboard compartments. Actually, I find that Ikea does have very innovative concepts for their home furnishings. A pity their quality is questionable for big items.

Totally love their soft closing cupboards. More reno related post coming up!

Reno Diary - Shortlisting Round

We've shortlisted a few ID firms based on referrals, reputations in the various forums. Next, we had to meet each ID in person to discuss on the requirements of the love nest.

One of the shortlisted firm was located @ UBI Techpark, quite a long walk from the MRT station.

Leecher, all dressed in white.

At the bus stop waiting for the bus. We realized that after each ID session, we gained more insights as to what we want for the love nest. Thus, it's all down to the quotes that they present to us & also, which ID we are comfortable with.

Valentine

My 爱心 lunch box from Blamer. Can you make out what they are?

Gossip Session in disguise of Xmas-cum-New Yr Dinner

The first meet up after my Xmas hibernation. I was sick for 3 days and basically visited the doc 3 times over 7 days. Am so glad to meet up with them :) They can cure my illness instantly with all the "news" that we shared!

just a lovely backdrop for our pic - taking, but *hint hint*

Dinner @ Sushi Tei! Sweet Fling was the 1st to reach and managed to get us a table, I was astonished at the long queue when I stepped into the restaurant.

Green tea to warm the body. It was getting chilly towards the end of the year.

We ordered the items to share. I was happy to be eating solid food (doesn't matter abt the taste) but Jun & Fling commented that the standard seemed to have dropped.

Yummy! I love the soup, not that spicy yet it whets up the appetite!

Treats that Jun got for us from US! She was so sweet to ask me take some back for Leecher. Thanks gal!

Flea Market @ *scape

While I was clearing my wardrobe in early Oct, I had the thought of selling my pre-loved items in the flea market. So, I asked my sisters along, if they had clothes to clear - they were all gamed & we rented a booth @ *scape to sell our pre-loved items. Some are even brand new!

Early birds to reserve the booth near the entrance! Brought along my clothes rack to hang out clothes :)

Qian & me set up the stall while Fling got us drinks :) Lots of stuff to sell! Qian really cleared out her wardrobe and brought along shoes, bags, clothes and accessories, what a variety! The rest of us only brought clothes, haha!

Lots of booths selling all sorts of stuff! Mostly were selling pre-loved items like us, but there were a lot of booths selling brand new items or offering manicure services, like below:

Qian's freshly painted zebra prints nails.

Miao was the last to reach, with her bags full of clothes. Afterwhich, we just flea-ed amongst ourselves and bought stuff off one another, before putting the rest of the items on sale!

Always delighted to close a deal, which means money to spend on other items, LOL.

Shuchuan dropped by to give us his support, but alas, he couldn't buy any of our clothes, heehee! But he did picked up the stuff that he ordered from me. Hope those T-shirts fit :)

Of cuz, Leecher came over to help as well. He's more interested in keeping track of my money pouch though.

Taking a break in b/w customers

Spotted: Miao & Fling sneaking off to buy earrings from other vendors.

Amos & Bok dropped by at the end of the day to help pack up. A man's trash is definitely another's treasure :) we certainly had lots of fun! Till the next flea, sisters!
