met eugene and dominic to buy stuff for the steamboat tonight.got lots of food. actually not a lot. spent about $60 for about 6-7 people's share. got lots of fishballs,meatballs and mushroom balls, all the balls. we also got a fair share of pork as well as chicken fillet. and mr lee specially pick prawns for the rest who ate prawns. freshly picked wor. lolz. also got some otahs as well as yu sheng.

was there early and so we watched the show babel.

Short Synopsis: Armed with a Winchester rifle, two Morrocan boys set out to look after their family’s herd of goats. In the silent echoes of the desert, they decide to test the rifle… but the bullet goes farther than they thought it would.

In an instant, the lives of four separate groups of strangers on three different continents collide. Caught up in the rising tide of an accident that escalates beyond anyone’s control are a vacationing American couple (Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett), a rebellious deaf Japanese teenager and her father, and a Mexican nanny who, without permission, takes two American children across the border. None of these strangers will ever meet; in spite of the sudden, unlikely connection between them, they will all remain isolated due to their own inability to communicate meaningfully with anyone around them.

gotten this from this website.

it was quite a nice show but it is definitely not the kind that i will go to watch in the movie. can't appreciate. haha.

after that,xiaojia came over from her godma's place. she was pretty early. late considering the fact that she initially wanted to help us to buy food as well. huilin and cliff came and we started playing mahjong. then sharon came and we played for quite some time before we started feasting.

then xiaojia dominic and cliff helped to set up the steamboat. eugene,lousy host la. haha. ask guest to set up. coz he busy winning mahjong. winning my money. :( lolz. then after we set up everything, most of us were hungry and so we decided to abandon our tiles and start eating. haha. yumyum. the food was great. and the company was cool. very seldom do we have such a huge gathering. we had the steamboat which also comprise of those hotplate (bbQ kind) as well, so it was pretty fun trying to cook. it was like goin back to seoul garden. =) been ages since i last went there. we took quite a lot of pictures and ate quite a lot. so much that all of us were pretty full after being served by sharon and huilin (da jie leh, she served me wor). so nice of them. haha.

but xiaojia left shortly after as it was her dad's birthday. and emily and zichao (superman) came pretty late, around 9. we tried to finish our mahjong game and i didn't even had the chance to game once. :( such "good" luck. lolz. then we played blackjack (eugene was the banker and hence darrell and sean's girlfriend joined in the fun). huilin left around 11 as her boyfriend was waiting for her downstairs. then the rest of us continued playing in-between. lost quite a lot. wasnt in the best of luck. :( haha. but we all had fun. :) which is more important.

after that, we "lao" the yu sheng and wish for examinations luck as well as fortune luck. haha. it was fun. and we took a couple of pictures as well. :)

hope there is more of such gathering to come. =) perhaps after the mock, before we had our final revision and staying out/up for our final examinations.

*shall upload the pictures when i received from dominic*
