17 February
CNY eve dinner! 
So glad the guys from Trondheim--WaiKei, Melvin and Byron-- came all the way to Oslo to celebrate it with us! It was my first time preparing food for twelve people. The washing alone was back-breaking.. Qiao Mei said we spent 12 hours in the kitchen in total!! I now know how my mum feels during CNY.. I promise to help out in 2008, Mum. :) We told the guys we'll start dinner at 730pm but we really started at about 845pm.. Inaccurate estimation, but we've never prepared food for so many people! Haha. Dinner ended at 12. Qiao Mei and Shan Ru were really sweet. After washing up (which was about 2 am), they wanted to learn how to make sago so I made it at their place while they help me slice potatoes, onions, honeydew and mangoes(again) for dinner on Sunday. Thanks a million, gals. :) I'm glad they told me they really enjoyed the sago. Thank you Mum for the recipe :)
