25 Already

So yes, I turned 25 last Saturday. Thank you Mom for throwing a house BBQ party for me. Muacks Muacks. I also had to thank the over 70 people who turned up to celebrate with me - Families, primary friends, secondary friends, college friends, Uni mates, colleagues, ex-colleagues dan lain lain…..

So with the help of my magnificent and detailed map, some got to my crib easily. Of course, the rate of people who got lost was quite high especially since they
1) Didn't print the map
2) Didn't follow instructions on the map
3) Prefer verbal explanation than reading maps

So half the time - as predicted - I was on the phone dictating to people how to get to my place. And that's not the end of it. One guest (ET) even had a security guard to escort her to my house. What drama. I actually thought the security guard was gonna give us some warning for making the neighbourhood smoky. Phew… False alarm.

Anyway, some pics from the event can be found at http://anniehor81.multiply.com/ (have probs uploading here le)

Not many pics of food cos the appointed photographer (ML) was busy eating than "working". Tsk Tsk Tsk but allow me to share what was served – fried rice, fried mihun, mixed vegetables, almond vege salad, fruit salad with cheese & olives, potato salad, chai kuey, almond jelly and not forgetting the meat area – lamb, chicken, sausages and beef.

In summary,

- Thanks to WL, EY and my happening uncle for taking charge of the BBQ area and sweating buckets at the pit . You guys are the best!

- Thanks to SY for making the lovely potato salad. Told u it will be a hit. It was snapped up as soon as it arrived.

- Thanks to JL and EY for the wonderful salad and preparing the lamb and beef . They were awesome!!

- Sorry to those who I did not spend enough time with! I know u will understand!!

- And of course thanks to all who gave me my pressies and angpows. Love them to bits!!

- Those who could not make it last minute, I still love you guys. Love you even more when you pass me my presents :D Like CL here…thanks for bringing me my present w/o the "s". Im still waiting patiently k for the rest…

And yes, I shall take some of your advice to have a bigger pit and cute waiter/waitress to serve food for future parties. And not forgetting hot chicks :P
The Queen's friends are definitely wiser and more demanding now.. just like the Queen herself but I had a great time :D thanks to all of you.
