fiona's surprise birthday bash

we were supposed to go for a potluck with some uni of glasgow friends, bringing coleslaw. however, since it was cancelled at a last minute, we grabbed the opportunity to improvise and plan a surprise birthday party for fiona.

we made cheese cake from yeu lo's recipe, and even fried rice, baked fries and chocolate pancakes, all kononnya for hui yen's potluck in conjunction with halloween. meanwhile, pui leng's house prepared the chicken.

Jeannie's famous lo chicken recipe:

marinate chicken with lee kum kee chicken marinate and garlic, then fry ginger, add sugar, stir until it melts, then put in chicken with the marinate (without the garlic).





as we waited outside in the freezing cold for shu yin and kelvin before walking to west end together, the others were in a frenzy peeping at us, arranging the food, and hiding out.




after getting a 'call' from shu yin saying that the potluck was cancelled (!!!) we headed back 'miserably'. not me though, i barely managed to kept my face straight. of course, a surprise was waiting in the kitchen.

even the coleslaw (which the birthday girl helped make), was put into good use.


to introduce the cake in another surprise, we went to extremes of calling fiona's extension anonymously to force her to leave the living hall for a while.. pity our cake was so FLAT! it tasted nice though. plus is very easy to make.


we had fun taking continous photo shots. you can see us gradually at a lost of how to pose. pui leng's house's halloween pumpkin came into action too!






we housemates of J8 also had a shot of continous posing!^^




it was fun. hope you had a memorable 23rd birthday, fiona. ^^
