Dinner party!!

Last weekend, my sister and i decided to invite all the uncles and aunties (a.k.a. Relatives) to our humble abode for makan-makan... kinda like a dinner party.. .. Luckily, our parents are here so, my mom *reluctantly* offered herself to do the cooking...... heh..heh... of course with our help.. ADO!!!

Hence, which explains the *busyness* of my weekends running errands and buying stuff for the house and foods of course....

Actually, the makan-makan was long overdue... kinda like a housewarming party except that the house is no longer warm since we had moved in last Ramadan.... ;).. nevertheless, most of my relatives never seen our new place, so, a better thing to do would be having a party aite....

Preparations for the dinner party is a daunting task......... we spent quite a substantial amounts on groceries.. and buying new tablewares *the existing wasnt enough*... and sprucing up the whole house........

Due to our lazyness, dusting and cleaning of the house usually takes place once a month or so.. heh..heh.. but this time a round, i have to totally do a spring cleaning...... there so much dust that we had to change twice the vacuum waste bag!!..... and of course, cleaning the toilets... and buying fresh flowers for the table..........

Due to our small family, we had a very small 4 person dining table.. so, we had to buy some extra table and chairs that can be folded away when not in use... so, we went to the store to get one and that took half a day....... plus new carpets for the living and dining area since the old ones looks like an old rag......... ;)

My mom spent two days for food preparation.. * geez... thanx mom.. ur such a dahlinggggg!!*

And the menu.......

1) Spicy chicken sambal *my favourite!*
2) Stuffed cucumber curry
3) Daging masak kicap
4) Fish curry
5) Greek Salad *entree*
6) Pecal
7) and for dessert.. vanilla ice cream with mixed fruits

Thank goodness everything went well... everybody had such a great time... everybody was chatting and laughing and updating stories and gossips.. heh..heh.. one of my dear cousin came with her ehem.. *new b.f*.. and we wewre teasing her all nite!!.. heh..heh...

Anyway, the party was a success!! *David Tutera.. eat ur hearts out.. ahaks*... we had fun organising it and maybe, in the near future, i'll do one for my friends as well!!.. heh..heh.... dun worry, i'll extend the invitation to y'all........

P.s: in all the chaos, the writer forgots to take pics... bummer!!
