MM Gathering on Fri 04Apr was fun! Most agreed. I even managed to squeeze an “it’s ok la!” from a ‘jaded’ youth who had played more hardcore games. Yeah!

The evening began with trickling arrivals, not unexpected, since it was a work day’s night. We were duly rewarded for our patience as every food item was brought and/or prepared with loving kindness, and therefore sumptious. The fried laksa was top of the table, serving also as our staple. It was complemented by wondrously delectable baked zucchini, baked mussels, the ever-popular cottage chicken pies, satay, pizza and the timely arrival of yummmmmy chicken wings. Joseph’s early arrival with his ‘thousand-layered’ crepe cake spared me of nerve-wrecking anticipation, but not the urge to run my finger over its sinfully tempting chocolate sauce topping.

Good fellowship and the usual gentle teasings were interrupted only by platefuls of 2nd and 3rd helpings. And that is the beauty of MM gatherings. We never needed any warm-ups. But I do lament on the inability to communicate and share in depth with each other due to time constrain.

Linda then conducted a game to group up everyone. For those who were present, let me say that I empathised with the ‘rolls’ searching for Royce, and those who were ‘hot’, only ended up with the dogs! Nonetheless, that was the beginning of insanity unleashed. I mean, paramedics should really be present when certain men and women were playing ‘heart attack’! Really…Tsk! Tsk! What about the Jenga station? All these scheming to put others in precarious positions simply isn’t acceptable in church, is it?

So, may I thank all of you for your whole-hearted support and participation last Friday. You have made it an absolutely good evening for everyone else present.
