My Birthday Bash/Farewell Party! A video tribute dedicated to my Aussie mates

July 8, 2011 by thejessicat




Yayyyy!!!! The much anticipated post is finally up!

The photos were already ready last week, but I wanted to wait till I posted up the video that I promised


Yup, I spent the entire night making that video tribute which I embedded at the bottom of this post.

If you missed it, today's post is a sequel to this post


I had a pleasant surprise upon arriving the houseparty

OMG Alex decorated it so nicely!! With streamers, wall stickers.. etc


And also, helium balloons! I loved them so much! 

Apparently my mates told me I kept playing with them while I was drunk?


Well, drunk or not, I'd still play with them anyway 😀

And they told me I tried to make everyone fly up to the sky with me like that animated movie, 'Up'


Major thanks to my lovely co-hosts of the party!

Alex & Alex 😀


Prior to the party, I spent the afternoon cooking dinner and baking with a good friend, Pamela.

Tonight's menu comprised 2 huge casseroles of Turkey Carbonara Pasta Bake with Mushrooms and Capsicums, and also Chocolate Pastry Puffs sprinkled with icing sugar.


I was glad all my guests loved it heaps!


omnomnomnom 😀


After our late dinner, we began our drinking sesh and partying!!

Here are some party piccies of us


With Deanna and Alex


With my fellow partyrocker & kitteh, Kayla! 😀


Clockwise L-R : With Abraham, Aaron, Laura and Jaime <3



Clockwise L-R : Mossy, Clayton, Hooper & Deanna


J

With Jaime! She's Konzy's sister & we both have tattoos on our wrists 😉


Stole Hooper's glasses 😛 😛


I know I've mentioned this previously, but I flippin' love for helium balloons!

Up up up and AWAAAYYYYYY!!!! 😀 😀


Todd and I with our matching green (his) and red (mine) balloons

I laughed myself silly when Mossy followed suit and tied balloons around his ears

i tied a red balloon around my neck upon arriving! 😛


Somewhere in a cosy corner, some other inanimate friends of ours had their funtimes as well.


Say hi to Archibald the Panda and Skyla the Leopard


Yes. Like owners, like toys 😛

While Kayla and I are busy partyrocking away, the toys will play!


Wootwoot! 😀 😀


The night was still young and we all sat down to play our usual, but deadly, King's Cup
.Gather round, people!


Only half of us at the table, the rest were outside puffing away 😛


Konzy and I on the comfy couch while waiting for King's Cup rules to be written


'

The gamemasters laying down the rules of the game 😀

Let's get wasted!


Oh and speaking of which, I LOL-ed so much at Alex's straw.

Pretty damn awesome! Reminds me of beer goggles LOLOL


More party piccies!

This time was taken during King's Cup 😀


With Kayla, Bardha, Clayton and Varun


With Jaime

Oh and, the fluffy red phoof-ball was a birthday prezzie from Britt & Laura! I love it <3


With Deanna, Britt and Cherie


With Konzylove


With Varun, Bardha, Todd and Konzy



Rules were rules – fair and square.

A card was drawn and the guys were made to pole dance with any girl LOL


-pic courtesy of Kayla-

Or…. in other instances, with a guy.

Mannn, that's hawt!


LOLOLOL I don't remember when this happened!

Poor Greg hahahahaha



I soon went outside at the porch to join the rest of the chimneys 😛

It was sssooo cold outside I've no idea how the locals handle that kinda temperature of near 0 degrees!


With Aaron and Greg


Did some bongs with some of them and went back inside where it is warm and comfy!


With Ian, Clayton, Cherie and Varun


Playing it diagon-alley with Clayton, Varun and a hidden Cherie

-both pics courtesy of Britt-


Diagonally with Laura!


Can someone please tell me how we ended up under the table???

I don't remember this! O__o


Nor this.



OMG what is the shoe doing in the photo -___-"


Oh and, while I was filtering through some 150 photos of the party, I just HAD to post this up.

Funny picture!


What on earth were they doing LOLOLOL


After so much fun, eating, partying, karaoke-ing and drinking, t'was time to bring out the birthday cake

Credits to Pam who baked the cake for me 😀 *major love*


Due to our lack of candles, we decided a lighter would do the trick 😉

Oh and check out the siblings photobombing me haha!


Couldn't really cut the cake properly as I was so close to passing out

from sheer drinkdrankdrunkeness already 🙁


-pic courtesy of Kayla-

Look at how dreadful my intoxicated cake cutting skills are


 Nawwww birthday girl gets a birthday kiss! 😀



T'was a good night indeed. Even better when people end up passing out. It's a knock out!

Current score : Humans 0 – 2 Alcohol/Bongs


TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.


Thank you, to each and every one of you who made my birthday and farewell a fabulous one.

Being able to party with yall one last time before I leave meant a lot to me!



-pic courtesy of Kayla-

With some of my birthday presents!


Check out the massive birthday card on top of my head; it has everyone's messages & signatures on it. On my wall hanging up is where it will be 🙂 I'll get to read/see it anytime I want when I start missing Australia again!


ZOMG I've no idea how my mates found out I had absolute love for chocolate.

I ended up receiving all these too! <3 <3


And just like I promised, here's a video for all of you to remember me by 😀

I've encapsulated all our funtimes together and — okay, I won't tell you any more. Watch for yourselves!


httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we60sXeFz_c

Please please please watch till the END! I spent 6 hours making this.

If you don't, I'll slit my wrists with a blunt knife wtf 😛


I hope you love it and enjoy looking back at our times together, just like I did! (My eyes kept streaming down tears during the process of making the video. Memories got the better of me. But I obviously don't expect you to cry too hahahahaa)


See you guys in September when I return!

Countdown : 62 days

With love, "that Asian girl with the red hair" , Jess.

Cooking dinner for ze Aussie family! Cheesy Penne Pasta Potato Bake with Roast Chicken + Avocado n’ Cherry Tomato Salad

June 28, 2011 by thejessicat

 

Okay I know I owe you guys loads and loads of my cooking escapades!

If you are following me on Twitter, you would know that I've been cooking up heaps of stuff for lunches and dinner – often experimental and adventurous.

 

Cheesy Penne Pasta Potato Bake with Roast Chicken! 😀

 

Oh and, just so you know, I never follow recipes. So I have no idea how the "recipe" just popped up in my head!

Hmmm… perhaps all these years of eating or numerous food review sessions has subconsciously taught me a thing or two and honed my long-time repressed culinary instincts.

 

Anyway, that's what I made for dinner for my family in Sydney!

 

Feast up! Also, I will also show you a brief step-by-step on how to recreate the dishes.

Everything I cook is pretty damn easy, to me. If I can make them,  I don't see why you can't as well! ;)

 

Ingredients used – potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, capsicums.

Chop 'em up, dice 'em well, slice 'em well!

 

Before you cut up your veggies, you might want to pre-heat your oven first to prepare for roasting.

Set it to about 180 degrees Celcius.

 

Marinade a whole raw chicken with salt, black pepper and barbeque/mushroom sauce.

Stuff the chopped vegetables into various parts of the poor thing.

 

Yes. That's my hand inside its asshole.

 

Sprinkle more condiments and your favorite herbs. I used basil and rosemary.

Remember to line your roasting tray with aluminium foil or butter it!

 

Take it out of the oven after about 45 minutes or how well-cooked your chicken is INSIDE.

Lay it to cool and carve it to shreds.

 

Boil potatoes and mash them with salt, pepper, milk and butter

 

Boil the pasta of your choice. I chose curls and penne.

Stir fry onions, garlic, spring onions, mushrooms, veggies and that shredded roast chicken

with your fave pasta sauce

 

 

Put everything together in a casserole dish layer by layer.


Mix the pasta evenly with the sauce mixed with everything you've fried earlier, and layer with mashed potatoes and grated cheese. Then pop it in the oven again to bake for about 30 minutes on 150 degrees celcius.

You want your cheese to melt into the potatoes and the layers below it.

 

Yadda yadda yadda preparation time in total would be about 2 hours +

Okay, everyone is hungry… let's eat!

 

Salad for appetizers!

 

Mix cherry tomatoes, sliced mushrooms, avocados and lettuce with mayonnaise or mustard.

 

Have a good balanced diet!

Eat them together with the main meal. Are you hungry yet? 😀 😀

 

Ta-da! Portion for one.

We ended up getting 2nd, 3rd and 4th helpings!

 

I'm glad they loved it. Ahem. They better do 😛 😛

For it is cooked with love, by me

 

Whee I love to see a happy family enjoying my home-cooked dinner!

 

 

There was plenty to go around!

 

Not bad,. All gone! I've made another extra casserole dish… waiting for tomorrow though

Here's to hoping it will suffice for lunch tomorrow! 😀

 

Oh and, this also marks Episode One of my lil cookbook of homemade nomsters by me.

If you haven't tried making this, you probably should. Serves 5 and above 🙂 All the best!
