Long overdue entry!
14 November 2009
Was invited to Yan Qin’s (aka Panda) 21st party.
As Huzz was going overseas, he didn’t attend.
One day before the party, I decided on the gift for Panda and asked if anyone would like to share. We bought him $100 worth of vouchers to dine at Ichiban Sushi (and its parent company’s subsidiaries).
Met up with Twin Dragon, Jia Hui and Henry before heading to Pasir Ris Park for the BBQ party. The sky got dark while waiting for the bus and we didn’t think much about it. On the bus, Henry met his OCS (I think) friends and it turns out that they were going to Panda’s party as well.
We alighted at the wrong stop. Hahahaha. Took a 15 mins walk and it started to rain. Roomie and I shared an umbrella.
By the time we reached the BBQ Pit, it was raining like nobody’s business and the BBQ couldn’t take place at all. Panda’s family members were there packing up the food and everything. Panda’s Mum decided that we all go to their place for the food (she cooked a whole load of stuff).
We didn’t really want to wait in the rain (we meaning Dragon, Henry, Jia Hui and I) and we didn’t want to trouble them so we took a bus back to Pasir Ris Interchange and then took a cab to Panda’s place from there.
Failed attempt at indoor shots again. Plus they didn’t turn. I was sitting next to Jia Hui.
By the time we reached there, the party was in a full mode! Lots of yummy food (cooked by Panda’s Mum and one of her friend I think), drinks and noise! 😀 Well, if a party is quiet it doesn’t make sense right? The tv was turned on to the Singapore vs Thailand soccer match and half the party was watching it (the army people). We ended up talking to each other (plus Vernon and Teck Hwee who arrived shortly after).
It was seriously great to catch up with everyone! Almost like an OPP gathering (with the exception of a few who weren’t there. 🙁 ). Panda’s mum talked to everyone of us and asked about those who weren’t present. She’s so nice! 🙂
Oh ya! The following pics were taken by Panda’s friend who was using a Nikon D90. Another hint for me to get it eh?

Birthday cake! Chocolate was super rich!
The remaining time was spent mostly watching the match (3-1 to Thai), talking, eating and catching up with friends. After the match, we watched Momo Love and left around 11pm.
Took the LRT and (last) MRT home.
