And Finally We Meet
The email first went out in the beginning of the year, titled "1st Gathering of 2008". 3 cancellations and postponement later, all of which were the fault of the Jemej, the blog babes (and some with their better halves) finally convened at our humble abode for some popiah this afternoon.
V did the honour by being the first to start wrapping the popiah. And there were bee hoon and curry chicken to go along, ending off with splendid cakes, courtesy of Squarenails and gelato, thanks to Olimomok.
There was so much food to go around, that only after everyone left, then I realised that we didn't get round to Candice's kuehs and Pigypat's fruits. To think that Squarenails and I were saying thank god we didn't go overboard with the spread of food today, like the last potluck gathering a year ago!
The award for being the life of the party went out to 2 special people - Jayden, whom everyone was fascinated with how he naturally dodged every corner of table that we thought he would bump into, and of course, Squarenails. Beanbean's hubby, DD, must have been quite amused, meeting Squarenails for the first time today. Or is "amused" an understatement?
With all the catching up, yakking and laughter, we had a great time. If only Lilsnooze and Baby Nat were there too!
Looking at this picture below, The Boy asked how come the guys didn't take one together? But it was funny how he noticed that still, he was the only guy who made it into this picture, haha.
Till the next gathering!
