Steamboat Party

Finding a new Sat Night – Those weekend nannies of mine (friends that came over to visit Elkan and us) are finding ways to break the monotonous weekend sessions at Hotel 25. For the past 30 Saturdays, these nannies had been accompanying us without fail, popping Hotel 25 with snacks and stories to share.

Guess, we need to find another programme soon. The weekly routine was getting stale. The guys were struggling with their “Mission Impossible” Ghost Recon 2 games repeatedly every weekend. The ladies were either sleeping on the couch or on the papasan chair. 
 
So, we decided to inject new activities into our boring Saturdays. The gang proposed dining out and going movies. It is difficult to round everyone for a common activity. It works like a rotating trend – a “season” of activities – while novelty lasts. We used to have mahjong sessions week after week before we got bored of it. Then, we switched board games, mid-night suppers at Lao Pat Sa, roller-blade, night cycling, weekend shopping and movies, xbox games at home etc.
 
However, this Sat was different. Joanne is starting a brand new season of activities. She has this sudden urge for home-made dinner. She wanted to plan a “popiah” party at Hotel 25 but it was too last minute and we could not locate the supplier. The gang then came up with a steamboat party and started preparing for it. Within 2 short hours, the gang brought steamboat, food, dessert and red wine to my place.
 

Stephen even brought house-games (dice, Old Maid, Donkey, Snap!). I was feeling a little moody this weekend but the gang cheered me up with this mini-party. Coincidentally, 29th Oct is Stephen-Wendy 1st Anniversary and is also the eve of Juliana-Duuk Taipei trip. Everyone enjoyed the 4-hour party, ending at 2am.
 

So, what’s up next Sat? Guess what, it is “popiah-DIY” party.
