VIP Chinese New Year n Birthday Gathering 07 Feb 2009

Yesterday was a Chinese New Year for VIPs as well as a birthday celebration for one of them. Unfortunately for my readers, no photographs would be provided for this entry because it was really not an appropriate event to be snapping pictures away because these VIPs did not give permission for their photos to be taken and published on this blog.

As the venue of the gathering was at my house, so my mother decided to prepare a mini-feast to entertain the guests. She was a very persistent chef and I got chased out of the kitchen for the entire morning because she said I would be in her way. -__-"

The VIPs arrived in the afternoon and we had quite a number of home-made dishes on the table including seafood fried rice, fried egg noodles, green vegetables, fresh salad, bean sprouts with salted fish pieces, roasted duck, mutton stew, yusheng and fruit-jelly platter. Dessert was a yummy chocolate birthday cake for the birthday VIP. After an hour's worth of eating and joyous chatter, the VIPs retreated to the living room for an after-meal chat and I brought a few of them for a quick tour of the house, showing my workstation and bedroom and whatever interesting collection of things I had inside.

Karaoke was in session in the late afternoon so the whole bunch of us went over to an undisclosed K-box branch to continue the celebrations. Most of us were too bloated with food to start off the session properly but as the session continues, the fun builds up and everyone ended the three hour session on a high. As the group was big and we kept shoving songs to the birthday VIP who had to oblige, my song list for yesterday's session was shorter than usual but it was still fun to pack in the following songs and I was glad to get them done properly:
《月光》- 黄靖伦
《夜夜夜夜》- 梁静茹
《洋葱》- 杨宗纬
《爱爱爱》《Love Song》- 方大同
《擦肩而过》《眼底星空》- 李圣杰

After singing, we decided to hop over to a more secluded shopping mall to ease back for a small dinner and managed to settle on Sakae Sushi and filled up dinner time with quieter talk over Japanese food before retiring home for the night. Another round of celebrations was enthusiastically chirped in by the birthday VIP and it is scheduled tonight. Hopefully, I can get some photos in for the upcoming round of celebrations.

Time to prepare for some work now. Have a good Sunday, my blog readers! ^__^
