I picked CT up at Pasir Ris MRT Station before heading to the chalet. Was there early at about 6pm. Went to the beach with my family to walk and see the sunset.
And we took a family photo together.(Thanks to Vicky for taking this picture) Look at how CT forced Caleb's head to look at the camera. I didnt realise it until I downloaded this picture in my computer.
After the walk in the beach, we went to the swimming pool to let Caleb dip his legs in..Initially he was a little stunned and stoned...
But he got warmed up very quickly and started moving his legs to splash and his shorts and diapers became wet.
When we went back to the chalet, the fire was still not started. It was about 630pm then. Only a couple of teachers helped to start the fire while the rest of us just stood behind them to give them moral support. Haha..
Here is Sarah fanning Cindy while Cindy was fanning the fire....
Amidst the fire starting and cooking, Caleb was sleeping comfortably on the bed in the air-con room..
Before I came for this BBQ, I knew I would get yummy tasting good food as it is always so when we have BBQ together.
Check out the yummy food...
This was the best tasting crab sticks I have ever tasted because of the seasoning used. We also had mussels with garlic and cheese. This has always been the best dish!
We also had mushrooms which just melts in your mouth with a whole lot of flavours going on in there..
Then there was baby dou miao stir fried..There was plain with garlic or with mushrooms.. Whole lot of cooking going on in the small BBQ pit..
We also had stir-fried brinjal which I didnt manage to take a photo of it..
This next dish was also the highlight of the night. It was japanese beef bought from Isetan supermarket. Its so tender and juicy..Check out the marbling of the beef..
And here it is when we cooked it..
We also had squid..
What's good food without drinks right? Here is our table of drinks..(Orange Juice, Carrot Juice, 2 bottles of wine, a bottle of Vodka) It's up to you how you want to mix.. Well, I just stuck with carrot juice, orange juice and a sip of wine...
Oh..we also had lots of other food like mashed potatoes, stir-fried abalone mushrooms with garlic, mutton satay, otah...
We were just standing around and eating whatever that was coming out of the pit..
Here is Sabrina with Caleb, who looked so frightened. This boy ah..easily frightened. Must train him to be more used to people around him and carrying him..
Here is a group of us who just happened to be standing there..(there are a couple more teachers actually)-Thanks Sabrina for taking for us!
From L-R: Cindy Leong (Ex-Hai Sing Teacher now teaching in Maris Stella who is getting married), Shirley Ang (quit teaching, now working in bank), Anna (my good friend from Temasek JC and NUS who is leaving Hai Sing..sobsob), Irene (Subject head for Home Econs who is careful of what she eats and makes sure BBQ must have veggies! So the dou miao and brinjal was bought with her in mind), me! (who is still slogging in Hai Sing), Cindy Soh (who is now in CCA Branch under NPCC, and lastly, Juliane (who sits beside me and is also still slogging in Hai Sing).
I used the term slogging because it is really not easy being a teacher nowadays. I just wished being a teacher was simply teaching our students, like back in the good old days...(I sound like I am in my 60s..ha!)
Anyway, had a great time tonight with my colleagues. Very enjoyable!
