Children's Day Party : Oct-11

After slogging it out in daimoku with all the PSLE mummies in that intense PSLE week, Sharon was the first to propose a children's party on the weekend immediately after the PSLE, which also happened to be Children's Day. To reward the hardworking mummies and kiddos, Nancy's uncle Beng Hui offered to hold a BBQ at his place, and all of us were to prepare some food to share. Though that being said, Nancy was doing marketing and cooking and cooking from early that morning. Beng Hui also prepared his trademark dish of clams in white wine for us!

Nancy was very kind to me and suggested that I prepared what I do best - fruit salad, and even shared an interesting watermelon recipe. Armed with that verbal recipe, I went to buy the heaviest watermelon I ever bought from Alice; it weighed at more than 7kg!

After googling and consulting YouTube, I managed to decently dissect and emptied the contents in the watermelon fruit. With Xuanxuan's and a lil' of Enen's help and Victor's touch up, the end result was pretty impressive!

Although it was raining and we could not barbeque our food, the children had much fun playing with one another and watching tv in the house while the auntys and uncles yak and eat and yak and eat basking in one another's company! (^_^)
