After being Covid positive for 5 days and stuck at home for that same number of days (plus 2 days), it was a welcome change to finally be able to have the gang over for dinner! ❤️

It was an agreed upon Kobe beef dinner since December, when this dinner was supposed to be on 29 Jan, 2 days after I realized I had Covid. Call it gut feel, but coz was supposed to meet Jas and the SJCC group for dinner, but due to a sudden sore throat, I decided to swab myself before the meet up and ta-da! 2 lines. 😅

The fever was the killer, but thank god for tele-consultation and home delivery of meds. Was in and out of sleep for 2 days or so. And after was just mild symptoms like normal flu. Thankful for the vaccines and booster in this case I guess! 😂

So once cleared, it was to play host and cook to the gang, there were starters, mains, desserts, and of course drinks to accompany the courses. 🤣

We last met in December, less 小乔, but the conversations just didn’t stop. Mum reached first about 4ish, we started chatting, then 小乔 came at 4.35pm (you just had to be exact yeah?), *o came back about 4.45pm, Pang came about 5ish. And everyone was chatting, hanging around, walking around.. And we only packed up and stopped the convos at 1am. 

We finished all the food, 2 sakes, 1 moscato, 1 gewurztraminer, a mini magnum each (except *o), and Pang had 2 bottles of Asahi. 😅

We agreed this was a definitely cheaper meal as compared to outside, and with no time limit. 😂 For the fact that we had Kobe beef, ikura, foie gras, drinks, for $80 each, and that I didn’t have to wash up, it was well worth it! ❤️

Love the conversations we had last night, and now in hindsight, thank god I didn’t agree for Clarence to be around, coz I’m pretty sure the conversations would have been very much different, and we would have ended the night much earlier. 

Thank you for all the goodies, from angbaos, to oranges, to bak kwa and the back massager (you never follow instructions ah 小乔! 😆) .

Happy to be hosting the gang, and for the many years of friendships that went through the test of time. We were just colleagues turned friends, and the kinda friend that it’s not necessary to be meeting every week, every month, even though we try our best to catch up monthly. ❤️

Sending lots of love to this gang! ❤️
