Real advance

In conjunction with our country's ruler birthday yesterday, we had a public holiday and with that, me and my friends decided to do a potluck party to celebrate Jacyntha aka Lulu's birthday in advance. Her birthdate is actually on 26th July but then we were unable to find a suitable date in advance to celebrate it with her. 15th July is just the perfect time :) Let my pictures tell the story of the night.

First person to arrive - Sylvester

And he immediately sings karaoke :p

Then these 3 gals arrive at the same time :)

Followed by Shin Yi :D

These lovely couple followed after

All in attendance until....

We have this couple as the latecomer *haha*

Makan time!!! Hungry liao O.o

Our drinks for the night

My dish - curry beehoon

Sylvester's dish - popia

Veronica's dish - curry chicken *slurrrp*

Shin Yi's dish - Chicken & lamb satay :)

Satay sauce

Jacyntha aka Lulu's dish - pork sausage from Taiwan

Bel's dish - chachos with dipping

Dessert from Jacyntha aka Lulu - sweet red watermelon

My creation of Gin inspired steamed sweetcorn cake as the birthday cake

Birthday girl getting ready to blow the cake

Then cut cake time :D

And she proceed to cut the cake into smaller pieces to be shared among us :)

Smiling widely with her gift

So concentrated with the birthday card :p

Eagerly opening her gift

Laughing happily once she sees her gift :D

Gleefully posing with her new necklace

Got someone to put it on for her

One happy birthday gal

After dinner & cake

Birthday girl had extra "coffee" :p

Then joined in with karaoke-ing

Singing a chinese song by referring to a translated chinese to english lyrics *wakakaka*
