It was a breezy Saturday afternoon, where the boys (Jem and Sai B) kicked around and chased the ball with some of the Leicester boys & others. Sharon and Gie took the chance to spend some girly time shopping & chatting. We had a great time shopping for Easter gifts & admiring chocolate bunnies and giant eggs; it sure took ALOT of self control to not buy up the entire store of yummy chocs but we came out with our wallets (and waistlines) still in tact. Although, we did cave in at Supre... Supre was having a crazy sale with clothes going for $5 and dresses going for $10 to $15! After all the walking around, Sharon and Gie sat down to a nice conversation with our cuppas of iced choc & iced mocha.
When the boys joined the gals, korean was on the menu for dinner and we headed off for some serious korean barbies! We yakked and yakked and before we knew it, dinner ended at 10.30pm! Amazingly, we still had room for dessert and so it was - Hardware Lane for cakes and more "coffee" with Maddy & Kelvin. Overall, it was a wonderful evening of pleasant company & the perfect prelude to Easter!

Leen had organized Easter dinner at her place on Saturday night. So, Jem and Gie decided to put heart into the dessert contribution and attempted baking some sweets! On the menu was Jem's specialty - Sugee cake and Gie made bread pudding! For those of you (like Gie) who are clueless what "sugee" is, it is a type of wheat, otherwise known as samolina (which incidentally, does not give me any better idea of what it is!). Apparently, our grandparents or parents would know it.. maybe just not the people who think good cakes are "Awfully Chocolate", "Greccos - Mars Bar cheesecake" or "Brubakers".

And so, it was another of Leen's very successful house parties! Laksa was the highlight of the menu and it was accompanied with Edwin's home made chicken pies, po piah, fried chicken and finished off with Dao Suan,easter eggs & Jem & Gie's cake attempts! Thanks everyone for such a cosy evening & good sport with our desserts!

Sunday afternoon was another big cook up attempt for Gie! The challenge was to fry enough bee hoon for 5 hungry boys who came over for some laps in the pool. Vijay made curry so that meal turned out to be a really good & satisfying one! The after dinner plans include a rerun of The Last of the Mohicans, good game of Cranium & football back at Leicester Gardens!
