It was a really fruitful day yesterday. In the morning, we went to the Youth Olympics office to check out the various volunteer positions available. Guess what? I finally got a post, which I will elaborate more of in the next post.
In the afternoon, we went to watch "Shutter Island", a really wonderful psycho-thriller. Worth watching! Then we went to the gathering of the CHOICE February 2009 weekend. He was from that weekend and they were having a first anniversary get-together. It was a poolside barbecue at one of the couple presenters' home.
It was supposed to be a Japanese-themed party but no one brought anything Japanese. I actually packed in my yukata to change, but since no one changed into anything Japanese I did not bother changing in the end.
There was quite a bit of food like curry, chicken wings, sausages, corn, salad, drinks, broccoli, carrots, and the last bit - dessert, consisting of Japanese green tea and black sesame ice cream! That was the best!
After that, we adjoined to a Peranakan-themed party. It was meant to be a fund-raising party for the CHOICE Asian Conference. Our friend who organised this was supposed to auction off some of her Peranakan dishes during the dinner and dance last year, but since the auction items were cut down, she then organised this party to raise funds.
Each of us had to pay an entrance fee, which would go to the Conference fund, and then receive a door gift. The door gift is so pretty! It is a mist in a bottle. Besides that, there were Peranakan song and games, as well as authentic Peranakan food, like Ayam Buah Keluak, White Bait Fritters, Nonya Mee Siam, and lots of dessert to name a few. (To see what the food looks like, please go to our food blog.)
It was an enjoyable and enriching party! I ate so much that my already-tight Peranakan gear became even tighter! I was so afraid that it would tear, but luckily I reached home in good shape! Kudos to my friend for making the party such a success!
