Thank you for gracing my invite. I appreciate all of you all, not just for having came, but for being a truly great friend. The night would not have been as fun as it was if any of you mentioned above were not here. What more can I say but another great Thank You.
It was really fun playing host, and quite a challenge. I was helping to prepare the food for the steamboat when wenhui arrived. So we left to search for satay. Most shops were closed and so it really wasn't easy. I eventually ended up in west coast. Had I brought more cash along I would have bought stingray too. Even the satay wasn't enough because many who gave uncertain response came eventually. Sometimes unexpected arrivals are so much more heartwarming. With people like thom coming from the airport and then going back to sengkang. Tsang Yew who had to squeeze time out from his schedule.
I came back with the satays just in time to start mixing the drinks. Ice was in short supply and it ran out towards the later part of the night. I varied the cocktails to cater to the light and heavy drinkers. The objective was to serve everyone a drink the moment they step in and then introduce them to those they are not familiar with. I believe it helps break the ice and I do hope that everyone made a new friend yesterday. Or at least the next time they see each other they will say "Hi, you are Kelvin's friend right?" As expected some did mention that siow ween is chio cos she is. So is judy pretty, xiaojun admirable and peiting cute. You know its interesting hearing them say "the girl in colour, she is ... ... " Haha.
It is quite challenging playing host when they eventually settle down with their games and it becomes a dilemma where to be. Maybe I could have done better gluing everyone together. I wasn't as good a host as I hope I could be. And then the worse happened, shortly after my last guest came. I think I had a little too much of alcohol on an empty stomach. I think I had around 5 glasses of cocktails, 3 shots and a beer. I confess I do not have the best appetite for alcohol. Drinking was the way to make merry, but the effects came in slowly on my empty stomach - the biggest mistake. But I was safely at home so being drunk really didn't matter much. I lied down and soon dozed off. When I "came around," it was dawn. Gosh. How can the host disappear when the guests are still around!!?? I was actually being mocked by Nick and Say Ho while I was gone. Ray, Judy, mark, victor, Liyang and Peiting were looking for me when they wanted to leave. I was a goner by then. Geez. And I heard from my Mom that peiting had quite a conversation with her. The things she asked were also quite amusing, hmm...typical of her to amaze. Haha. Think she wanted me to walk her home. Infact I should have and would have. But again..."Host where were you?"
In conclusion, the night was fun with everyone's company. The next time I play host, I promise I will cut down on the booze. Again, I thank everyone for showing face. How can I redeem myself for not doing well towards the end?? Thank you all. And for those who missed out, you should have came along.
