I spent the day yesterday after school with Joel (UWA, not to be confused with Joel - Murdoch)and Tzuyao, buying stuff for Joel's birthday BBQ today. So after class at 2, we met up and I drove down to Subiaco Woolworths to buy all the stuff we need.

Tzuyao was really a gem man... Joel and me would be like comparing the chicken that we wanna buy and figuring out whether the more expensive but boneless chicken thigh fillets (about $12 per kg) or the cheaper but more troublesome chicken thighs (about $7 per kg) were more worth it, and Tzu Yao would suddenly pop up with a packet of marinated chicken thigh meat that was on sale ($3). The scenario was repeated for almost everything else, from fruit juice to paper plates. He even knew the prices at Dewson's at Broadway.. The next time I go food shopping I must bring him along.. Haha..

Spent the night over at Joel's place, mostly helping him to prepare the food for the next day. It took us about 2 hours plus just to cut up all the vegetables and prepare the meat, as well as skewer them onto bamboo skewers for easy barbecueing*.. After that he had 2 other friends come over to stay the night and we had a fun time just talking rubbish and playing mahjong.. We played mahjong on his floor so when we were shuffling the tiles, some of us really looked like we were swimming if we were lying down.. And we had push-ups as a punishment for losing, so all of us got quite fit in the end.. Haha..

Almost couldn't wake up this morning to go for the BBQ at Matilda's Bay. In the end we made it there at 12pm punctually when Joel realised that he forgot to bring the meat out.. Chaiser.. So we had to go back and get the meat again. Luckily he stays pretty near Matilda's bay. The weather was pretty fine, though a bit chilly and quite cloudy, the food was great and the company was fun. Had a great time today, and I hope Joel enjoyed it too. Please forgive me for dunking your head in the cake though.. :P Cindy instigated it, haha...

I shall upload the pictures when I get them.. Gonna go sleep now.. Didn't have much sleep last night.. Think I'm gonna skip dinner tonight also.. Hoho..
