Last gathering of the term 2006/2007

Barbeque seemed the best choice for the toasties since we love to talk, needed a place to talk, and some good food to go along. So when Roy & Gek Choo offered to let us have our bbq at their humble abode at Old Upper Thomson Road, what more can we ask for?

This was the beginning when the food was ready, everyone was busy eating so nobody posted for a picture...



After some food comes some chit-chatting, so nobody to pose for camera yet...





See when people's tummies are filled, like Hung Jui's, he starts to pose and act cute and handsome! Haha!



Then we took a picture of Ronald and his wife-to-be, Regina. Sorry I can't spell (fiance), or rather I'm not sure if it's correct. Anyway, see the love birds! Awwwwwwwwww....



Then Hung Jui comes along, to have a share in the photo!



Kumar, who was in charge of the food that night, finally decided to pose for a picture! See how cute he was? *Get me a plastic bag!*




See suddenly people disappear from the table! Anyway, these 2 are Roy's and Gek Choo's relatives! They came to join in the fun too!




Oh, there they are! Hiding over the other side to secretly have the good food! Haha~. That's Daniel & Selvi. Selvi's a soft spoken lady. She's really nice and committed to Cheng San ok! Don't pray pray!




So both of us were full and decided to fool around with the fan. Kumar said that I looked better with my face covered. Really? Come on, say I'm pretty!!




Then came some children, who were more interested in lighting up the staircase leading to the house. You shall see the master piece later.



This is Adrian, if I remembered his name correctly. He helped us out with bbq-ing the food. The food's good, the cook's good, the crowd's good, Cheng San TMC is definitely good can.!



Ok, I decided to put this picture up because Ivana has been MIA for several months. Then we all were enlightened when we knew she went back to her hometown for a short hiatus. Welcome back Ivana!




This was what was left when we took the next picture! The pot of rice was the second pot, and all the food were gone! See, it's really good food! And for the first time, no diahorrea for me. I always get the watery runs after EVERY bbq, except this one! Good standard eh?



This was when the adults were having the alcoholic drinks. Well, I had a sip and I felt drunk. Ok, that was exaggerrated, but ya, I'm a good kid! From left, Hung Jui, Hwee Ling, Eileen!



See, a picture of the macho guys - younger guys to the young guys. From left, Guan Hau, Fui Long & Hung Jui.




Ok, Hung Jui again! Taking pictures with girls. He got so excited when he heard from Hwee Ling (to the right) about the girls Hwee Ling met at the Hong Kong Convention. I think he is thinking of holding dual membership.




Ok, see! I told you I look better without the fan! And the girl to the right is Lani, the photographer. There's another photographer, Shuling, but the photos are not in my hands yet. So make do with these ok? Anyway, thank you Lani for taking the shots!




This was the almost-final product of lighting the stairs. The final product, we do have in Shuling's camera. Will upload when I get those.




This is a shot of Roy & Gek Choo's house from street level. It's kinda like basement level with stairs leading down to it, it's really a nice place.



This is another shot.




I think the guys were hungry, so more food... (From left, Fui Long, Daniel, Shui Sheng)




And of course, Chay Buay and Ivana! Chay Buay's really nice you know, talk to her more and you'll know why.




President Shuling and Adrian, behind them was the bbq pit.




So when the chit-chatting was more or less getting a lil' boring, then it's games time! We played taboo. It started off with us playing outside, but it got a lil cramped with more people joining in. Then we moved indoors.




When we were indoors with the air con (ahhhhh..)



We all had a go at Taboo, with the squeaker and timer, haha, it was hilarious!



Halfway through the game, some food on the plate came, we were supposed to eat it, but we were too engrossed in the game so you see the unpeeled potatoes.




We were more or less finished with the Taboo 256 cards, so we just sat around to chit chat, again! Come on, we are toasties, we like to talk, or at least Cheng San Toasties like to talk to each other.




It was about 10pm and people were getting tired from all the good fun, good food and fun people... See the expressions...



Then we went to take a group photo. We were in process of lining up....


The group photo will come soon and I'll upload. If you feel like you missed out some good fun, well fret not! Because another gathering will soon come. Cheng San TMC has pretty regular gatherings apart from chapter meetings.

We will keep everyone in the loop through email. However, if you are a non-toastmaster, you can check out this blog for details, or you can call the numbers on our website.

Be together, grow together!
