Like it this way once in a while

Invited hubby's boss & some colleagues over last Sat. Had a simple dinner & KTV session.

What seemed like a simple dinner actually involved quite a few rounds of marketing & lotsa preps. And I'm not an experienced cook.

The menu was :

Curry chicken

Fried bee boon

Panfried honey coated chicken wings

Sweet sour pork

Brocoli fried with dried scallops

Nuggets

Beancurd almond

Notice it's a poulty night? Hee.

Hubby had been of great help... he offered strong support in both the cooking & washing.

As for the food, I was particularly disappointed with my sweet sour pork. We had them off the boiling oil a lil too early & it's a far cry from those I prepared for hubby few months ago :(
Lesson learnt - never be impatient when cooking.

Had tried to use disposables so less washing needed after the session. But still pretty much cleaning up & packing to do. It's a relief that we didn't need to clean our place as we had the gathering at the multi-purpose hall.

It's nice of his colleagues & boss to travel the distance to our place. From what I know, none of them stay in the north. And some brought red wine & liqueur (Alizé Bleu... quite good but think I prefer it with a bit of soda & lots of ice) as gifts. It's a pity we didn't have the chance to share all bottles with everyone.

Slept @ 1am-ish & dragged ourselves out of the bed the next morning @ 7.30am with our head still swirling. We sent mum to church & the best part was we're celebrating mum's birthday (lunch)... meaning a pretty long day to go huh.

Hubby, who couldn't bear to see his blackie baby covered with multi-layers of dirt, sent the car for a wash in Raffles City before going for our Jap lunch at CitiLink (mum chose Sakae Sushi over Thai buffet @ Inter-Continental Hotel). After lunch we shopped around for another hour as our car's still not ready. By the time we reached home, it's already past 3.

Hubby slept for 3 hrs+ while I sacrificed my zzz for the new Korean serial "Snow Queen" on cable tv. After "Goong", this is the only one that I like... we're very selective especially on Korean drama, as after watching a few sets, you'll realise they say the same thing with the same expression. But somehow I find this show different... perhaps it's because I like Hyun Bin :) Hubby suggested to get the DVD for me! Yeah!
