ivcf progressive dinner
this was a new concept to me! it was a very interesting way of dining, where we would move around to a different house for each course in the meal. in our case, since we had a 4-course meal, we went to 4 different houses for appetizers, salad, main course and desserts!

appetizers at jen's - all of us! we had perrogis (or perrokis or something that sounds like that), which were dumpling-like pasta with potato+cheese fillings, mixed with mayo and garnish - it was absolutely delicious:) we also had this italian appetizer, which was essentially slices of frenchloaf with tomato, cheese and dressing. as u can see, im really lousy at remembering names:( but ask me about the food, and i will gladly describe them to the minutest detail:) heh

salad at dave's - with the 3 musketeers karen, shu and jess. these lovely girls are from singapore too! but they are full-time permanent students in their 1st years! nice to have met them here:) anw we had caesar mushroom + avocado salad and brocolli salad! yummy:)

oh but the bad thing about progressive dinners is that sometimes, you get so hungry at the start that you tend to overeat for the appetizer and salad courses; also, these courses might whet your appetite so much that that you would be so lazy to move around and would rather have the rest of the courses just appear in front of u at one place!! both of which happened to me:(

with adrian and matt, who is such a talented pianist! he entertained us with jazz music on the grand piano at dave's place!:) it really sounded very pro!

main course of lasagne and bread at steve's - me, the 3musketeers and sarah and rene (a couple from brazil - happily married this year! don't they look young? they are only 23!!) madness! sarah is my biblestudy leader:) it is so sweet how both rene and sarah are studying theology at regent college (supposedly the no 1 school of theology in the world!!) together and they are so involved in ministry work!

desserts at alfrida's - the girls all ready to dig in!! haha. we always have space for desserts - no matter how full we are!! heh. there were fruitpies with french vanilla icecream, chocolate fondue, chocolate bars, fruits, yoghurt! i love:)
