We bought quite a variety of food from Sheng Siong, including chicken wings/drumsticks, smoked bacon (my fav of fav!), fish, sotong, sausages, beancurd tofu (r u sure this can be bbq-ed.. but no harm trying). & for lunch, we tried frying carrot cake on our own!! U noe, u can buy those tubes of carrot cake or yam from the supermarts, then u juz add in ur own ingredients and go fry. Sounds easy hor? But it's not if you wanna make it yummy-licious.

Being the tired soul that I was after my teaching that day, I actually slept till 11pm. GOSH. I jumped up, startling even myself, for fear that I missed the entire BBQ and it was all over. In a state of semi-consciousness, I rushed out and thankfully the thoughtful jw was waiting for me to wake up and he had marinated all the food already. (Oh man, call myself a girl.) So we happily went to set up the pit.

Who knows, perhaps the charcoal hates us and it has gone into hibernation, for it refused to burn up despite jw's nice formation of fire starters (lots of it!!) and charcoal. Uncle said it must be lousy charcoal that's overburnt. We spent 1.5hours trying our luck and with the same persistence as the charcoal, we didn't wanna give up. Come on, it's 1.00am and I want my dinner!!

We decided to try igniting a super duper huge fire and see how it works. Hehe. So we used up another BOX of fire starters. After much effort and fanning and perspiration, we finally got it started!! Oh wow!! First, the fire was too small to peng anything. Now, it's too big and everything gets chao da. Which one would u choose? I would gladly choose the second one and eat burnt food rather than raw food. =)

All in all, it was a fun, simple and peaceful night that we had. Even though we didn't finish the food, even though there was a lot of after work to do, even though the food could be yummier, but what's more blissful than spending a night at home with your most loved one.. I don't know.. We just felt happy, and that's the only important thing.

Till the next BBQ.. (& this time muz buy better quality charcoal.. ;p)
