a hearty weekend

it was one of the most enjoyable barbeques I had ever, and I was privileged to spend the evening with a group of ladies.
the barbeque was organised by Ugin's mum, and she invited some of her good frens whom she has known through her daily excercises and walks. These group of ladies are witty, independent, enjoying life's finest, carefree, warm and friendly. A couple of them are married with children, and there was one particular lady whom I taught was still single, was actually married with 3 children and the oldest was already 15!
these ladies are the kind of woman that I want to become when I reach my mid-30s and early 40s. A woman that has gone through more than a quarter of my life, yet I am financially independent, have a family and group of friends whom I can chat and laugh over wine and food. Someone that is enjoying life to the fullest during every minute of the day!!
Ugin's mum prepared a sumptuous barbeque spread: fresh stingray generously slapped with loads of chilli and belachan, gourmet beef steak and bacon, well-marinated chicken wings, sotong, otar, as well as mee siam bee hoon from her frens and bottles of wine!
We were the first group to start the fire at the pit and were the last to pack up and leave!! All thanks to the funny and witty frens Ugin's mum have! I really dun feel the age gap that we have, coz they're really funny and it jus feels great to be able to chat with them freely. Initially, me and MB tot it'll be another group of 'Aunties' who will just sit there and wait to be served. But we were wrong! They were really helpful and took turns to help with barbequeing of the food while we take a breather from the charcoal and smoke.
Over chats and laughter, they opened bottles after bottles of red and white wine. From Germany, to Russia and Australia, felt as if you're taking a holiday tour around the world like that. I only took a small sip of the Germany white wine and it actually smells and tastes like beer! haha :) Prolly that's y I quite like the taste of white instead of red :P
6 hours of barbeque plus drinking didn't feel that long until the people all around us started to leave and the security guard kept patrolling near us. Ugin's mum was less of a sober state and we helped out with the cleaning before going to bed at almost 1am.
Church was great today and we had a Pastor from the Mandarin and Hokkien service to preach this Sunday. According to MB, he drives a Porsche. He was really witty and used alot of real life experiences to relate the Bible teachings to us. It was really a good service and thank God for the wonderful church service! :)
Lunch was at the new Muthu's Curry in Suntec. We ordered a small curry fish head, and other side dishes and we each had a Naan that was freshly made upon ordering. On the whole, the curry fish head was good, cept that it could be hotter coz a warm curry fish head doesn't make it too appetizing after all. But the fish head is quite fresh and has a lot of meat. You guys can try it out some time! :)
Thank God for the wonderful weekend that I have, and next Sunday my favourite Pastor Prince will be back to preach!! Can't wait for next week to come! :P
Good nite peeps, tomorrow is another day of work!! *sianzz*
