"A long time ago in Japan, I used to train with my friend Nicholas in the Bushido Dojo... and everytime after our training... we would always drink sake together...... I hope when you're old enough, we can drink sake.... together..." - Barret (1999)

Alrighty man!! This was the mother of all the cookouts we had so far. Food, entertainment and action! Preparation beforehand i've already heard that there was gonna be tons of food around so we sort of came mentally prepared to see like 7 kg worth of meat and 2 kg of seafood for 8 people.

I reached barret's place about 3 and first thing was that the smoked salmon caught fire and burned the cardbox box around it so spent the first part clearing out the mess. Went on to help wash up and prepare the salad.

Everyone arrived at around 8 ish and here are some of the highlights.

table set outside the porch for a great dinner. Lights from candles and moonlight contributed to the awesome ambience, felt like a great french summer meal.




our entrees, ham, cheese, avacado, crackers and baked peppers


second plate, slight variation, mostly of the hams used

Didn't manage to get a shot of the other main courses like beef and ham because was too busy eating. Had some weird marinates like the secret sauce marinate, gin marinate, beer marinate and vitamin C (yes the dodo yan grinded vit C pills) marinate.


The 2kg worth of seafood - mussells, squid, prawns and something else i cant remember. the sauce was superb, rich and flavoured.


After all the food, tons of laughs, and red wine, dessert wine, port (excellent shit), sake and whiskey, we've finally found the magic formula to revive 43wf.


Noooooo, dun rape meeeeeee haha


die you bitch!


phang ! no!no!


take that !


1... 2...... 3..!!!!


i've won! (a bit gayish shot though haha)


Barret jumped in for a piece of the action! 43wf corporate member steps into the ring for a showdown with childkilla phang!


ass was whooped, so was food.

and all in all, sums up a fantastic night for the cookout, even though man utd didn't win the FA cup haha. Everyone was either high or drunk, dominique was lying on the floor doing commando crawls, yan was trying to meditate hoping to dispel the giddyness, cedge was in the toilet making his own destiny. I think i drank the most i ever had before too haha, barret kept refilling our glasses with more wine for toasts. But amazingly i managed to escape with just a silght high (probably cos i stayed away from the whiskey). Barret's mom thought everyone was drunk except the two of us haha.

Yup that's it for my account of the night. Cant stop thinking of yan's dad secret stash of wine where the great sherry came from haha. next up will be childkilla phang's turn to take revenge with corporate barret in a revolutionary "First Puke Match"... stay tuned...

there must be something wrong with the matrix. Everytime koban goes swimming, it triggers the rain command...

went back to my alma mater today because i was kinda bored. They were having some sports day event in the evening, night sports day. Met up with barret, fengnian, phang and yan to go over.

We sat around the big steps, watched a few relays and stuff. some things change (like the building) while some things still remain the same (like joseph house losing doh). Anyway, was pretty weird because there was this teacher that was being super nice to us haha, give us programme sheets and invite us to the grandstand to seat and for food above, officially given the 'guests' status instead of students lol..think the school trying to build up more alumni support, somemore still got some homecoming festival lined up in july, like the one that totally tanked last year. Haha not sure if they would be so nice if they knew we didn't have money.

met up with a few teachers and stuff, turns out that a lot of teachers left, including mee choo lol, a bit of a surprise.. but bobby was still around, and mr sua was pretty funny. Mrs chaillan was quite surprised to see us, didn't know my class was voted one of the most notorious (challenging, i call it) classes around, and the teachers actually knew about the wrestling crap lol.

anyway, got boring after a while,and we left for thompson plaza. Honestly i never quite endured the full sports day when i was around there studying.. think we were always the ones walking around and going back to our class to participate in our own 'sports' haha. Got some wood chips in thompson for our next cookout, we're gonna try making smoked salmon, and perhaps even fishing for our food, well hope to post some pictures of the event next week, think it'll be a blast.
