Father's Day

This year, Father's Day fell on 18 June 2006. However, as we have to attend a wedding banquet, celebration has been pushed forward to 17 June 2006. Similar to Mother's Day, we celebrated together with Kim Siong, Adele and Frederick, together with Tricia. As usual, Fred and Gwen were emgrossed to the Barney show on TV and the ladies were busy in the kitchen preparing for food, whilst the fathers read the newspapers and chit chatting away.

We had sea food mariana for dinner! When Gwendolyn was done with her dinner, she happily rushed to change the Barney VCD. The funny thing was that she quickly picked a VCD she liked, ran over to Frederick and asked him : "Di Di, watch this Barney CD?" and without Frederick acknowledging, she quickly murmured to herself : "OK!" and quickly ran towards the VCD machine to change it. All adults couldn't stop themselves from laughing as it was so unexpected that she said all by herself!


Dessert was chocolate fondue with Haagen-Daz ice-cream and fruits. Why? Coz KS, Adele and Tricia had that at Haagen-Daz the week before and find it expensive to eat out. Since we're meeting for dinner, we thought that with the same amount of money, we can eat the same thing in abundance with the same amount. However, we had 2 accidents : we melted the chocolate too quickly and have forgotten about them. After dinner, the fondue set has been overtaken by ANTs! We're so scared that we didn't know what to do and Raymond came to our rescue by switching the fondue on at high heat. As you would have guessed, even though my kitchen didn't run into flames, but it was enough to burn the chocolate and fumed the whole house. In the end, we've decided to chuck all the burnt chocolate away and melt a new bar. Well, it wasn't a total disaster, but we had prepared too much food and couldn't finish in the end...


Guess what Gwendolyn prepared as Father's Day present? An ALL STAR DAD TY bear, which she has now privatised and call it "Star Star Papa Bear" and also a mystery yellow box from school, which Papa cannot open, as it contains hugs within!
