:: 'End Of Semester' Steamboat Dinner

there we were, 6 of us, closest fellows from business system, monash university when I held a steamboat dinner at my apartment. including adrian, umar, irv, arbi, miki and myself. so, i came up with the idea of steamboat dinner since this might be the last chance for all of us could come up together.

so, about the foods. i actually had prepared for some ordinary steamboat thingy such as enoki mushroom, some vegies, tofu, fishball in any kind of shapes, and chicken meat. i also asked the adrian-umar-arbi to bring some drinks and miki, a japanese friend voluntarily made us some nice sushi. but apparently, irv brought so many seafood things. we ended up having a seafood steamboat. it was great and we really had a wonderful time. good foods, bizzare seafoods, fatty tiramisu all together have made that night was simply unforgetable :)

i had gone through the worst of anything that night. imagine this, your friend came to your house to have a dinner then he unexpectedly brought a crab, which he himself even thought it was dead, but it wasn't! so, at the first hour of dinner we did brainstorming of the right way to kill the crab, and at the end cook it. anyway, finally someone came up with the idea of how to kill the crab. then we did what he said accordingly; boil very very hot water and pour it to the crab! geezz...that was sooo violance. haha. anyway, to make this posting quick, i'm gonna tell you what was happened next in sequence. after we're sure that the crab was already dead, we decided to get away from chances of that crab would bite us or do something nasty. so, i stabbed it! yes...me! *pheewww*

then, we steamed the crab at separate pan..and voila...it turned out to be good. but wait, another was still coming. this huge squid almost made me faint. it came with everything God has ever created for a squid. i mean all the eight arms and the tentacles...oh. not to mention the ink. and the worst was i had to cut it all myself even though i have no experience at all about it. but seriously, irv really brought us every kinds of seafoods in the world. you name it. he brought a big fish's head, huge squid, bizzare crab, yummy scallop, and the idontknow white fish. and yes...it was a lot. when i asked irv how on earth he could bring such these things, he said, "i don't know. i just picked the most bizzare ones"

i served my own made tiramisu for the dessert. and it wasn't bad at all. it's full fat, for sure. but i didn't ruin anyone's diet program since they were really willing to eat it :) overall the dinner was really nice. we talked and reminisced about our uni times, and oh this is one of them; so this lecturer taught a business system subject. she's from singapore and she doesn't need to tell because of her accent. and...this lady really really really always like to talk like this: "blah..blahh..blah...you know? blablabla...you know? or "blablabla...alright? allright?" we really did count how many 'allright' and 'youknow' phrases came from her mouth but we eventually gave up because we lost counting!

last but not least, i realized how blessed i am *again* that my life are filled with such amazing people that had helped me a lot went through all hard uni times. and really, you guys made my uni experience are even worth to be remembered. keep the friendship, shall we?
