Potluck!

Power failure in my room!! Sad! Was so dark in the morning at 6am that I was afraid to wake up, so i went back to slp till 8am. When i finally woke up, I went to Christian's for help! Good thing he knew how to operate the main switchboard (or whatever you call it) and there were lights again! For a few hrs.. Den the power failed me & my room ONLY again. Gonna write to the landlady soon.

Went to Christian's place for a bath cos my bathroom was dark! Chopped up all the veges and by then it was 12 alr! The others (Sean, Keaton, Pat and Marios) arrived and we took all our stuff and headed to Marios' place to cook!

Marios had a big kitchen with everything inside! Great for inviting people over for dinners and parties! There were 6 of us. Christian had done his Thai Green Curry (which was the purpose/main dish of our gathering) in the morning, so he and i juz stood around and relaxed. Too many cooks spoil the broth u see! =X
The Korean chefs
Awkward smile cos the potatoes were chopped by Marios

Chefs at work: Keaton, Pat, Sean!
Chilling our beers outdoors (I arranged it! :P)

All of us minus Christian the photographer
In the end, we had a nice feast! Thai Green curry was great! and my left over rice from 2 days ago turned into something edible! The other guys suggested gathering every month to savour the goodness of curry!!! People cooking for me again (i juz stood around). NICE =X haha
Digging in!
After dinner, we played a ladder game introduced by Keaton to decide who would wash the dishes, clean the table and who relax one corner. I got to clean the table! not so tough job. Good. hahah..

We had cakes for dessert after that, brought by Sean, Keaton and Pat. We were so stuffed that we couldnt finish the dessert! So off we went, playing all the different games we'd play in our countries. Really fun. Keaton was the funniest cos he was very enthusiastic about the games he introduced. you should have seen his enthusiasm. Can't believe that he's (his age) =P
Left Marios' place at 4pm and headed to our hostel to use internet. Decided to go to Barcelona in Spain together! So exciting! Barcelona sounds so romantic! haha..
Went to try switching on the main switchboard again after they left. Worked till 8pm and it tripped again. Had to do stuff in the dark! so scary! =( good thing i still had a torchlight with me :D
