Bloggers' Gathering (13/1/07)

After reading some of the bloggers' posts about the gathering, I can't control myself but write about it too.

It was Angeline and Annie Q who asked me at msn whether I was interested to join the gathering and I told them I had to get permission from my 'boss and chauffeur' first in which I had a strong feeling I would not be able to make it BUT he gave me the green light and I immediately told them I was able to join them! (YIPPEE!)

I told Annie Tan – mommy of Catherine [Ah Girl] and Shawn [Ah Di]) and Michelle – mommy of SQ and Kiki). Annie was interested but Michelle was not able to make it as her Kiki was not feeling well but I finally managed to meet Michelle, SQ and Kiki (whom I've not met before) on Friday nite in our apartment.

Finally came Saturday, at about 5.45 p.m., as I was getting ready to go out, Annie called and told me she was on her way and about 6.15 p.m., she told me she has reached oredi! Wow! She was early! The dinner scheduled to be at 7 p.m. (latest 7.30 p.m.).

When I reached the place, I could only see Seafood Paradise but no Charcoal Bay in sight! My 'chauffeur' drove out of the entrance and I called Annie to direct me (and to say I was supposed to direct her *duh*) but suddenly I noticed the Charcoal Bay signage below the Seafood Paradise's. I took Des and on my way into the restaurant, the first who caught my attention were Egghead with J and Luke! Then I recognised Annie with Catherine. I saw somebody carrying a chubby baby and she was Shannon. The rest came one after another and everyone who came was made to guess who is who (everyone was so smart).

My 'koala bear' (Des) was clinging to me throughout and I was unable to get my camera to snap. Below are pictures courtesy of Shannon (Thank u so very muchie Shannon and Hubby Tecky for using their 'canggih' camera to snap so many pics).

Chatting with Annie while waiting for the rest to arrive. Notice dat 'koala bear' of mine? *shake head and .... sigh .....*

All waiting to be served.

Eiks, dat's not lemonade meh? Angie thought it was green tea and

Egghead thought they were drinks but wondered how come no glasses?

We had a good laugh after Annie's hubby told us

those were jugs of soup. Hahaha! (so paiseh)
