Time really flies ehh ? Two more days and here comes my last exam paper --> Add maths. And after that day, I will be already as free as a bird, having all my year end holidays starting that day. Okayy larhh, I must admit that I have to also go back to school to do some year end's procedures and also next year's preparation etc.
Two weeks ago, our church celebrated sisters' day. Well, yesterday 1/11 is our turn to hold a brothers' day for them.
Okay, the other reason I feel really nervous, or I could say same level as the nervousness of playing piano hahahah SAME LEVEL OF NERVOUSNESS, what am I talking about. So the same level of nervousness is that I'm actually the leader of yesterday's night's dinner's main course. So many apostrophe s hahahhaha. And we are preparing pineapple fried rice. And I never in my life fry rice before. Like I know how to cook spaghetti, fry noodles, prepare maggi mee etc but I've no idea how to fry rice. We were actually planning to have our theme as more to western food so we could prepare carbonara spaghetti which is much easier than all this BUT those boys already did this to us during sisters' day and 99% they will say we copy them if we do so although they did bolognese spagetthi, confirm they say we copy them one. So I asked my dad for help yesterday. Last minute of S.O.S lol. Well, I must say when both your dad and mum are good chef in the house, ahahahaha no point learning how to cook right ? My dad and mum are those that can determine how to cook a certain dish with just tasting it. SIMI SAI. They could like even determine what's the ingredient of the sauce. Like all I know is eat HAHAHAHAH. So my dad was like explaining over and over but it's like I couldn't get an exact idea. Hahaha not really my fault larhh, because my dad said I need to measure it like if the pineapple is too ripe you need to put it at step 6 if it's not, then put it at step 4. And if it's for don't know how many bowls of rice, you need to prepare don't know how much of the seasoning yadda yadda. So it's not really me being too much of a problem keep on asking how right ? You know kids just wanna make sure :')
So yeah back to yesterday. So throughout the piano playing thingy, I think I just did average. I must admit I played many wrongs but luckily the song leader just carried on with his and I manage to carried back really quick. So yeahh not that good also larhh actually HAHAHAHAH. But not bad le lurhh :P
As for yesterday's night, I was really really glad and overwhelmed and touched when my dad actually appeared to help me :') So yeah luckily there's him, if not i really will get confused with everything around. Not as easy as it seems de sia. We still need to cut the pineapples ourselves and we need to cut it properly as we are using the pineapple shell as the bowl. And it took us all to cut all 20 of them for around an hour.
So we start at 6:30pm, and then on we already put the lemon grass water on the table, got Thailand de scent marhh. So yeah, we forced the boys to queue up at the door while when they enter they had to wear a yellow hat we made out of papers. It looks really funny tbh as it's like those kind of witch hat shape but when you wear it, the base is actually curled up to the shape of your head so it's left with that pathetic small yet really tall and pointy cone shape on top. And then they were given to sit like candlelight dinner type. 1 to 1 yo ! Awkward ehhh.
We had our song leading, then later our devotion. And we had the special so called 'Thailand dance' which is actually chicken dance lmao. All of us have to dance together and it's so funny I cannot. Like I actually forget how to dance le. But then they reminded me back. SOME OF THEM LOOK SO CUTE DANCING IT.
And finally all of us had to serve in the pineapple fried rice. Oh yeah when I served my second plate of pineapple fried rice that time, there is this guy whom I'm serving to gave me this flower. It's actually an orchid that we put as a decoration on the table. So the decoration is like this. We put coconut shell and inside we put water and candles that are lighten floating on the water. Then next to the coconut shell, we put a stalk of orchid flower and some leaves as decorations beside it. A bit Hawaii de feel to me, but it's also somehow a bit Thai as sometimes I see this kind of decoration in Thai restaurant. So yeah, he was quite like not to say nervous, but once I put down the plate of pineapple rice, he was like quickly took up the stalk of orchid and like pluck one small flower of it and he was like 'nahh, this is for you'. Trust me, I was like totally out of the blue when he gave me that. I was like quite blank an was looking at him for like maybe 5 seconds HAHAHAHAHA because orhh, actually nobody in my life actually gave me flowers before, not to mention me as a kid being put in dozens of flowers into my hair hahaha. Then I was like 'oh thanks' and I seriously don't know where to leave it and I was like put it in my pocket HAHAHAHA it's still in perfect shape when I reached home larhh, not really larhh, a bit squashed though.
And then we straight have to present a special number to them. The song is really hilarious as it's a combination of a church youth song and emm ha emm ha emm ha ha. Okay, it's sounds so confusing so I found an example hahah something like this like really really funny larhh, somemore orhh we were not allowed to laugh when we sing that song hahahah and horhh we sing dao so freaking high pitch at the 'ha ha' part omgoshh and to make it even more funny they actually chose a conductor and the conductor have to use chopsticks as the pointer. So they were actually thinking that it's a very sweet and normal song but when we started singing it's like I don't know whether they got choked hahahah I assume larhh.
Thn we went in to get our second dish out and it's tomyam soup. Got Thailand feel right ? Oh by the way our theme is actually 'Thailand's one day trip'. After the tomyam soup is served, we went in to prepare our dessert. Ice cream and banana. They all lucky larhh. When they are eating, of course we had some people to present some special number. So yeah, the dessert damn syiok larhh. Too bad. I didn't eat any of it because I was too lazy and I think I look so see sid hahaha.
I guess that's all of it. Yeapp we did prepared gift for them. Those book mark so cute sia. Somemore it's personalized as there is their name at the back and all those good qualities we see in them. We also got prepare another mystery gift for them ahahaha don't feel like telling it out here hahaha.
Yeapp throughout the whole activity, I must say it is quite successful, of course there is some imperfections like we didn't really coordinate well when we were preparing the food. It's like not all of them are helping out, some of them who were actually a member of cooking the main course or any other food went on outside to take pictures etc. It's like really irresponsible larhh I must say. And horh, when cook finish le, they so automatic will come in and eat de worhh. And when the program finish right, we girls need to clean up de right ? They went on to take selfie LIKE SIMI SAI. Okay larhh, I must also say most of them really help out a lot. The other imperfections are some slip out here and there. Oh and yeahh, we aren't that active in cooking by the way hahaha. Most of it is my dad cooking them :b
It really is an enjoyable event and yeahh it's actually all counting on team's spirit hahaha. Let's have more sisters' and brothers' day in the future. But let brothers' day come before sisters' day so our life would be easier in preparing an easier food hahahaha.
p.s. x'mas is near
