Preparing the pit.
Preparing the salad.

First time I had salad in a bbq. Apparently it's quite tedious to prepare. Yet Nadia and Chen Qing are still smiling so radiantly. Should have looked at them one second after the shot. :-)

Thanks, ladies!

Eyeing the food even before we started!

Rained mildly for a short while. bbq holding an umbrella.

All told, the weather that evening was foretold by our soothsayer, Leong Kim. He predicted the rain would come after a strong gust of wind swept through us, and it did.

This was no idle chat! We were discussing the future of HP and the direction it is taking!
