the long break (not!!)

we started the long raya break with a bbq bang :) the heavy heavy downpour didn't stop us in the least. we just waited it out. mostly cos we were hungry, and too lazy to go out to eat in the rain. my cell had a bbq bday celebration for all the october babies, yours truly included!! we had it at likxon's condo in mt.kiara.

watiting for the rain to let up: i like this picture cos it looks like an out of body experience. but it's mostly cos i don't know how to adjust my camera for night views. bleh

sitting pretty and finishing the marshmallows cos it was raining cats and dogs, and that was the only 'prepared' food we had:

i must say the guys really stepped up to it. i was quite impressed with how they started the fire (manually!!!!!) by blowing on it!! cos no one remembered to bring a fire starter. my darling fiance got his leftover five o'clock shadow singed off, how convenient..too bad i didnt take any photos of how RIDICULOUS they looked!!! HAHAHA

guys are so desirable when they know how to cook:


but they cooked everything for us while the girls just sat around chatting and making hungry faces. we demolished almost the whole packet of marshmallows cos we just cldnt wait anymore. the food was so excellent that till this day i am still dreaming of the one drumstick i let go off cos i was too stuffed. i haven't tasted barbequed meat so well cooked and succulent b4. mmmmmm....

i am so proud of my baby and some of the guys for cooking non stop in the fierce heat from the fire without complaining or eating also. they just served us all the time and waved away any enquiries to whether they wanted us to feed them. EXCEPT for one guy. bleh... so mega ungentlemanly and uncouth ok. urgh...just sat there demanding more chicken or sausages or mushrooms or bacon. he couldn't even get up to get it himself (as his gf pointed out)

gee... i only noticed this when the first ever plate of food was brought to the table by the mighty guys. being the gentleman, i know the rest would have let the famished girls eat 1st as there wasn't much on the plate. instead this specimen grabbed almost all the food while everyone else was left standing ard the table and staring at the fast disappearing plate. hahahah.. i would have been MORTIFIED at such manners if this person were related to me in any way! good grief! this was the pattern of his behavior the whole night. i don't think i was the only one who noticed tho. i think his gf noticed this too cos she quietly chided him that he'd already had enough when he asked for another piece of bacon. i guess she was embarrassed cos lots of other ppl wanted the bacon but hadn't eaten it yet, whereas this fella had already grabbed a few pieces by then. not once did he offer to help the other guys who were cooking. actually, not once did he move from his chair. sigh... he should be ashamed of his behavior but i don't think he even realised it.
*shakes head*. to think that the rest of the guys hadn't eaten yet cos they were cooking for us. and one of them was the birthday boy himself. it was left to the girls to keep some food for the cooks.

other than that everyone had a really good time. needless to say i didn't notice the other guys talking to this fella. and i pointedly did not bother talking to him also, cos i simply can't bring myself to put on a polite facade and talk to someone whom i'm a bit irritated at. what a poser.

the birthday babies:

male bonding:
Stef & I love this photo cos it looks so glowy & artistic hahaha:
