BBQ Potluck & A Surprise!!

Hubby and I really wanna have a moment with our besties, so we decided what better way then to have a fun BBQ party at our place. Since my dad wasnt around, it was the perfect weekend time to plan this party. Since it was my first time planning this sort of party, we decided to just try out with just a few of our close besties, and since it really did well we will next time hopefully get a chance to make a HUGE one..!!=)

Luckily, we have all coordinated the dishes everyone will be bringing.

So, everyone wont be stress out about making everything and no duplicate of food..=).

See what everyone brought,

Me & Hubby = Grilled Chicken, Beef Skewers and fried Spagetti.

Melissa & Steven = Mash Potato and Fruit Salad.

Gary & G-jaar = Beef Cake and Cheddar Cheesecake.

Amly = Beef and Lamb burger patty .

Eddie & Eika = Dominoes Pizza

 Gary, G-Jaar, Hubby and me Grilling the chicken and beef.. 

What was suppose to start about 5.30-6pm, but except for Gary and G-Jaar others called to say they were arriving about 630pm. So the four of us decided that we will start grilling the meats, so that when the others arrive its ready for everyone to start eating.  And soon everyone came and the potluck begins..=)..

My fried spagetti..
Slightly overcook but tasteful.. I hope!!

G-jaar's Beef cake..
I think its a meatloaf kind a dish..=)

G-Jaar's yummilicious Cheddar Cheese Cake..!!

This was what i took on my plate....
oooo , its soo fulfilling!!

The foods that were served..

 It was sooo nice when i looked around the table and see that everyone truly enjoy all the food that everyone brought to the dinner. Although it would've been awesome if we had some green vegetables to balance the all the meats that we had. I think it was satisfying to hear all the "Um...", "Yum...", "Ngam" ... And the priceless faces of content and with a full tummy ..! 

 Wanna know whats the surprise?? Well, since Amly birthday was coming up in a few days time.. I kinda asked permissin from G-jaar if i could take one cut of her cake to kinda surprise Amly with a Birthday song.

Ok..ok.. why i didnt make or buy her a cake ?? Well, i actually wanted too, but with cleaning the house for guest and also preparing all the beef and chicken, i was too tired. So i took the easy way out... Oopsy, but it did make her smile.. That counts the most!! ..=)

Surprise Amly…!!!!

Thankfully i had some writing icing and also a birthday

sign and extra candle from previous cake purchases.

Actually after dinner, we brought out the cards and started playing Monopoly Deal and also "ChoTaiTee" or "Big2".. The games has many names , but it was fun cause everyone had their Pokerface on and  trying their best to win without anyone suspecting that they were. But it was painful when me and G-jaar taught Amly, Melissa and Steven to play monopoly deal.. and they won again and again.. and again... *covering face* ... Lolz... it was embarrassing..

Pretty soon, it was time for everyone to go home. Since the potluck bbq was done on Monday (Public Holiday), everyone wants to go home early so they could get an early start the next day.  But i was truly happy that everyone came and enjoyed themselves. Since it was a Potluck, there wasn't much things to clear up... *looking up and thanks god*... hehehe .... 

Im happy that there werent much leftover either.. 

Just a few pieces of pizza, some cheesecake, some grilled chicken.. 

Just to name a few..But it was Gratifying that most of the food finished..!! 

Cant wait to plan for the next meetup

Yippee..!! Till next time... Toodles~!!
