Happy 21st Birthday to Qhairul Fadzlie
A BBQ Celebration into Adulthood

We celebrated Qhairul's 21st birthday last Saturday 14th Jun 08. We had a blast of time. The BBQ started at 7.30, but by 4.00pm, few of our guests arrived to help out with the setting up.

It was great fun. The night was cool and windy. The guests were wonderful, the menu was delicious.

We wanted to have a small gathering of friends and loved ones, and it turned out to be a big event that lasted up til 12 midnight. We had to stop just because the RC representative needs to go home and sleep. All in all, we had 74 guests, big and small.

Our guests in a row

We finished up the BBQ and the cleaning at 2.30 am, and reached home at 4.40 am. The night was long and tiring, but the memory was tremendous. It was a night like this that makes me feel blessed to have friends and love ones who are always there for me.
