ECP & Changi Lies Along The Same Perimeter.
Tuesday, December 23, 2008
Yesterday was one of the bitchiest day in my Dec Holidays.
I had my family picnic in the morning, which was very boring, i must say. What did we do? We sat in our tent the whole time, which was pitched in between 2 trees, on the same spot we did for the past 3 picnics. How lame can that get? Okay, criticisms aside, it was a nice way to start the morning, with the sea breeze sweeping across my face, the smell of the sea salt and dead rotten fishes. No, I'm not being sarcastic. It was actually very refreshing. It kept me awake and sharp. Oh, did i mention? My family went there with my Granmumsie and her elder sister. So what does that make her? My grant aunt? wadevs. So my grandaunt brought her greatgrandchild along, and it was fun. My mum and I entertained the little baby, whom i think was about 1yo? Yes. So, we played with the sand, buried my brother, the baby and my feet, blah blah blah, no one died, some people ate, some birds flew by, and then I was off.
I was on my way to ECP. For what? For MLCS/Indonesia Trip BBQ! hahaha. I was looking forward to this for a very long time. A day when everyone bitchy congregate, and bitch about anything that's worth bitching about. I met Renee and Luqman(the thing..) at bedok mrt area, then went to the Sheng Siong to get garbage bags and rose cordial. After that we cabbed over to ECP. The trip to ECP was very irritating, with the taxi driver not knowing the alphabets well. He went to carpark E, when we said carpark D. Such an ass. He should eat more Alphabits. Or revise his Kindergarten work. Or at least dig his ears when he has the time. So the three of us walked over to the BBQ pit, D48. Renne kept telling me that the delivery guy has been calling her over and over again, and i guessed that he might be there already. True enough, when we arrived at our pit, he was esconsced with he whole bunch of goods behind him. He had 2 styrofoam boxes full of frozen stuff, and stuffs. We set up the area, organised the things. cleaned the place up a little, and then Luqman wanted to start the fire. We (me and renee) went to the brekwater(water break according to Renee), but we couldnt get up since it was too steep. Or maybe that was just us. Wadevs. After afew attempts, of which we failed miserably, we decided to get back to luqman who was desperately trying to start the fire on his own. Then Huda came, and the fire died and lived, and after about 1 hour, the people started to flock in. It was about 4.
Haziq, Illyas, Shakirah and Shahidah arrived first. They came and immediately sat down, nad ate Renee's dlicious spaghetti. They were probably hungry, since the THING was bbq-ing only 6 Otahs. Stupid, much? *sigh* Then the two heroes, Haziq and Illyas, came to our resque. Well, it was more of Illyas though. Haziq was just there for the entertaining us with his "Rusty Rs" and noise. Illyas was the one who did most of the cooking and whatnot. I felt super bad for them, since they were J2s, and the bbq was supposed to be a farewell thing for them. And they are the ones who have to cook??? Lame. Period. After cooking for about an hour or so, an indian lady from the pit next to ours came to us, and asked for help to light their fire. Haziq wanted to go, and he dragged me, but thankfully, Illyas gave me the styrofoam lid which he was using to fan the coal. So the two heroes went off to do their thing, and we continued to cook the steak, otahs and hotdogs. We had some superheroes of the day. Renee was Buttergirl, I was The Hulk, Illyas was Fireman and Khai, who came later on, was Superman. Cuh ray zee. Ok, i digressed. After 20 mins or so, the two heroes came back, and i turned my head towards the other pit. Then something caught my eye. It was a smoky sillhoutte of someone very familiar. The ponytail hair, the wide hips, and the whole indian family thing... It finally hit me like a baseball thrown by Alice Cullen. IT WAS NISHA!!! My ex-collegue. It was such a coincidence! I ran over and she ran over, and we talked for about 5 mins. We were mostly surprised at how different we look now. So, blah blah blah, i went back to the pit, and cooked some more.
The thing was kinda annoying. He just played soccer with some other people, namely Firdaus, Hariz and Eddy.
We were getting worried about the food since time was running out, but the food stash was still full. We still had hotdogs, chicken, stingrays and sotongs. But Illyas planned to cook everything and hope the people would eat them. So we did, cooking all except the whole pack of chiken. Mainly because the chicken was too many to cook.
I realized many things ytd. Haziq was a noisy person, but funny. Renne has a new Hubby. Illyas has a propensity to doom and gloom. Khai is my bitchy mentor. The j2 girls are the best people to talk to. They are so warm and welcoming. Not to say that the J2 guys aren't. They are crazy. Way crazy. And i can get used to that. Haha.
Then it was sundown, and some peoples' brains got "sot" when the sun set. They begin to have hallucinations, begin to speak gibberish, and become crazy. I was kinda guilty about the whole marshmallow thing. Illyas wanted to open up the first pack in the afternoon so that we can eat the whole thing for ourselves(the pit cooks), but i told him to eat it at night. And god knows how hungry people get at night. They opened the marshmallows and ate the marshmallows. Without ME! haha. Ok, fine. Khai opened it, but at least he offered it to us. Kind people, them.
So, some more people came, and then we got tired of the food, and cleaned up. Then we went off. I'm tired of typing this post. I'm stopping now.
