♥ Que Sera Sera

= The BBQ that started at 10pm =

This could well be the most unforgetable BBQ I ever had. The reason being?? You will apprehend soon.

We had a BBQ celebration on 4th April to celebrate Seow's birthday in advance. YS reached West Coast Park (WCP) at 5.30pm to collect the food. While the rest of us were late. Kai, Ivan and I reached at 6.30pm. YS had started working on the fire.

San and Seow reached respectively.
While YS was working on the fire, we waited impatiently.

Even the food was waiting to be eaten!

However, the charcoals were so stubborn! They refused to burn! Even after Ivan, Kai and Seow (who disclaimed that he was waiting to be served) tried to fan and fan!

Eventually (around 7.30pm), we went out of starters to try to relight the fading flames. Luckily, Jack was bbq-ing in a pit nearby. So, I went to borrow some starters from him. In the end, he was so kind to send his expert friend over to help. The expert recreated the "formation" and told us that our charcoals were of good quality. All we had to do was wait. So we waited, waited and waited! At 9pm, we thought that something was seriously wrong.. In the end, we decided to check the charcoals! Finallllly! At 10pm, we received our FIRST spark of hope!!

We were elated. After so much turmoils, we finally got to bbq! While, our neighbours were packing up. From 6+ to 10pm, it was definitely the longest fire starting ceremony for me.. If we were to have a "moral of the story" conclusion like Tan Ah Teck, I could say the following:
"Expensive doesn't mean Quality. Got brand doesn't mean GOOD la!"

With the charcoals getting redder and redder, our spirits lifted. And here come the.. Sparkling Juice!

And, here the cake for the Birthday boy...

Lastly, not to forget,
