Bryan Chung The last time I invited friends over to my place for steamboat was last year to celebrate Louis’s birthday. Yesterday once again, I invited my friends over to celebrate my birthday, two weeks early. My birthday falls on 17th February, which would be the Chinese New Year week. While next Saturday is eve of Chinese New Year, so everyone will be eating their reunion dinner with family. Hence, that is why for the early celebrations. However yesterday steamboat was not just to celebrate my birthday but also Chee Hoong’s birthday – whose birthday is a day after mine.
Earlier in the afternoon, I went to buy the food with Louis, Chee Hoong and Brittany. My mom had already bought some food for us. But I felt it was not enough. So after checking with Louis and Chee Hoong, we decided we needed more. Special thanks to them 3 for following me to buy the food and much of the preparation work. Friends started to arrive later that evening. Got a chance to meet up with my good friend who came despite not knowing many of my other friends. Thanks to my god-sister Amanda for bringing her sister Matilda and cousin Serea over too. And of course thanks to other friends like Edward, Russell and Derrick who joined us too. I believed I mentioned everyone who came!
I did feel quite bad for Chee Hoong because it seemed more like celebrating my birthday rather than co-hosting it with him. He received one present from the group while I received about 4, from individual friends. Nevertheless he mentioned he will be having his own buffet party too on another day. Of course he needs to have another party because this year he will hit the milestone for 21st birthday! Surely he needs a better celebration!

Once again, thanks for all who took time off to come and enjoy the celebrations for me!
