The local Malaysian society had organised a barbeque on Saturday, 28th July (yeah, say goodbye to the environment and hello to the possibilities of cancer!). For the past week, the weather had been gloomy and wet, and the weather forecast for the weekend didn't look too good either. Hence, the whole past week was full of anticipation: to go ahead with the plan for barbeque or to not go ahead. We finally took the risk and left it all to the Almighty. So, come Saturday, the sun just beamed at us...He had answered our prayers: to have a sunny day so that we could all go out to play!
Apparently, having an event in the open certainly is different from the usual indoor activities we have. Usually when we have gatherings and functions, they are held indoors (in a hall), and we always have a full house (crowded, is more like it!). This time, there were approximately 22 families and a handful of undergraduates. Yup, it's summer so the undergrads are in Europe learning about culture, or back home enjoying a glass of teh tarik at the mamak stall.
So, while the men were in charge of the barbeque, the ladies were busy buzzing away with platefuls of food (to feed the children, mind you!!).
I was busy helping with the children's activity and enjoyed it dearly (hence, not many photos of the kids as I was busy coaching and cheering for the lil' ones). There were 6 events altogether: below 5s, below 10s, football for the boys (10-16), chipping for men and women (okay, I sucked) and giant steps for couples.
In short, I enjoyed the event which can be described as simple and small. Ever since that day, the sun has been smiling at us...

it's the Malaysian Coventry Society. Yeah, the lady in brown coat is a VERY popular photographer. It's no wonder if many people know her. Such a bless to have her at our humble event. Ahaks..

Halwafy,
that's the barbeque pitch behind Rootes Building and Tocil Flats, Warwick Uni. Don't think it's a rugby pitch now, not sure whether it was before. Jomla check it out!
bluewonder,
Menu: chicken satay, BBQ lamb, chicken wings, chicken pilau rice, mi hoon, and others potluck. So, for potluck people brought sticky rice + mango, cupcakes, caramel pudding, prawn crackers, oranges, more cakes, spring rolls, pudding and from me: sardine rolls! (trust you to make me lay out the menu...)
Looks fun...(I'm sure it was!). Teringat BBQ kat Univ Park Notts - those were the days!
