2 things: Photobucket Limit and DoE's Birthday. Scroll down for the latter.
Photobucket Limit
Photobucket has finally done the commercial thing and has slapped a storage limit on my previously-unfettered account. :( Which means that I had to delete a good deal of pictures on my account in order to upload newer ones. :( :( :( A bulk of the pictures being my Funny Farm album.
*WAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!*
Shit lah. And the premium upgrade is $50 for a year. Grrrr...... Shine kudasai ano kitanai ne.....
So for any FF pics.... pls go to the tripod website lah.... sigh.... though it'll only be a matter of time before I bust the limit on that one as well....
DoE's Birthday
On a more interesting note, yesterday was DoE's birthday. Tanjoubi Omedeto Gozaimasu! And the night was spent BBQ-ing at her condo.
Bites for Slayer and Sylver:
1) The food, consisting of chicken wings, sotong, cuttlefish balls and about 4 different kinds of cocktail sausages, we realised, tasted FAB when generously smeared over with honey. Especially the chicken and the sotong. :) :) :) The first time I smeared the food over, Jubilee and Tak could only look upon it in horror ( "We're all gonna be diabetic and cancerous!" ) but once they started eating...... they were smearing on that honey pooh-bearstyle as fast as they could. Note to self: Honey is now an essential ingredient for all BBQs. :D
Oh, and it's especially OUTSTANDING on marshmallows....... mmmmmm..........
2) DoE's little sis has now formed the childishly-adorably-irritating habit of calling me "Tablet". I have no idea why.
Plus, she nearly gave us all heart attacks when she perched on a ledge outside her house to wave to us in the pool downstairs. In case you don't know, their apartment is like, 2 stories above the pool floor. *shudder* The invulnerability of youth. Her guardian angel must have a full-time job, together with OT.
3) DoE probably invites us for the entertainment value.
Me: "You can take this fishball off now, he's nearly done."/"You can eat him now, he's done"/"Bring the chicken over and let's fry him"
DoE: ( With a curious look ) "Why do you refer to all the food as 'he'?"
Me: ( In the case of the fishballs ) "Because they're balls?"
DoE: ( Narrows her eyes at me )
Me: "Don't worry, your sis is out of earshot"
4)I have to admit, this is one of the weirdest, cock-est but yet coolest ( In a freaky, far-out way ) thing I have done on a birthday. :D
You know what to do when you don't have a birthday cake for the birthday girl? You create a birthday chicken out of a spare wing and a bunch of sparklers.
This idea was damn weird, but have to admit, the effect was cool. :D The idea was to stick the sparklers into the chicken wing, creating some kind of pyramid thingy.
Like so. Then you light the topmost stick.
And then... FIRE IN THE HOLE!
BURNING! THEY'RE BURNING! HOLY SMOKE, LOOKIT THAT SUCKER GO!
And the coolest thing: We arranged it so that the top stick, as it burned, would spark off the 2nd stick, and so on, and so on, creating some kind of pyrotechnic chain display. ( You know, like what I did at Redang ) It was so freakin' cool! ( Undiminished by the fact that the sparklers were stuck into a chicken wing )
Of course, the off-side of it was the smoke it created....
I'm not sure whether it's clear from the pic, but there was enough smoke there for someone to panic and think the condo was on fire. The alarm was set off, and a bunch of firefighters came running up along the pool floor, SWAT-style, only to be confronted by a bunch of very bemused partymakers and a slightly burnt, pathetic looking chicken.
No lah, that din' happen. Hee. But there was a awful lot of smoke.
After that, all over...... Another of our party turns 23...... sigh... Till the next bday... *wink wink at somebody*
