UsDudes BBQ July ‘07
Tuesday, December 18th, 2007
Part of a belated set of photos spanning the second half of 2007. This is from the UsDudes organised barbecue from July 2007. Probably the best organised of these irregular things to date. I got the drinks I had left over from an old TigaPe event a few months back, and some disposable utensils I’d come across while doing my ICT. We got the food and other supplies from the fine people at BBQ Wholesale, which is halal certified, has almost everything you might need for a barbecue and they deliver as well.
Not as many people turned out as we’d hoped, but keeping things intimate meant it was well, more intimate. We still got visits from overseas Dude Raizan, and rare sightings of old Temasek-era comrades Rahman and Hidayat. Birthday cake for myself courtesy of Winda (thank you very much), and while it wasn’t far removed from a regular Saturday night hangout it was still fun.
Being apparently the only person who still has a portable stereo I was elected to provide the music. Unfortunately 6 C batteries don’t come cheap. Fortunately through an act of complete serendipity Azmi and I found super cheap C batteries. Naturally they didn’t have a lot of juice, but it played the radio for about four hours or so just fine. Trying to play a CD we immediately saw the “low batt” light flashing.
Apologies for the lack of photos. My camera had already died by this point and I had borrowed my dad’s camera which is pretty ancient itself and which I wasn’t terribly comfortable using.
Lots of helicopter flybys throughout the evening due to National Day Parade rehearsals being held at Marina Bay many miles away, but I can always imagine the flags were big banners saying “Happy Birthday Samurai Zack”.
