* FiXato had a great day before his birthday
At 12.30 the first friend arrived, followed by a couple more during the next hours. With just 5 people left, we decided to play some Settlers of Catan, but near the end of the game, the next group of people came

Even had to get some extra chairs from the attic so they could all sit down ;p
Around dinnertime some of them left again and I had to start making dinner.
It was a lot of work, but luckily enough I got some help from a friend

On the menu was:
Ajam Peniki (spicy chicken)
Babi Ketjap (porkmeat)
Babi Panggang (porkmeat, kinda sweet&sour)
Bami Goreng (eggnoodles with stir-fried veggies and some chicken)
Nasi Goreng (baken rice with stir-fried veggies)
Plain, white, rice
Plain Bami (eggnoodles)
Sweet&Sour stir-fried Thai vegetables
Gado Gado (spicy, peanut-like sauce)
Quite some work, but all 8 found it very delicious

so it was worth the time and effort ;p
Eventually during the evening some people went again and some more arrived. I think there were about 13 or 15 persons max at one time in the room, which is very crowded for our room compared to the usual 3 that inhabit it;p
We played games a lot

which is quite normal for my birthdays ;p
First some Bubble Bobble on the MSX, then some Mario Kart on the SNES, but finally when another friend arrived with the PS2 he promised to bring, we started playing Buzz for a long time. It is some kind of music-quiz for 4 players, so everyone teamed up and started playing

It was everyone's first time, which made it more fun

Later on we popped in SingStar 80's and began to annoy everyone who could hear us singing (well.. singing... ;p sometimes one could say someone was tortured or something, from the sounds some of us produced ;p), luckily we have 5-double glazing ;p which keeps a lot of the noise inside ^_^
Some other SingStar editions were played as well, mostly the Pop-edition though

We switched back to Buzz when two of the guests went to bed (they came from the other side of the country, so they stayed over

) and played that till 6.30 in the morning with the remaining 6 or 7 persons

The next morning (my actual bday

) I had to get up again around 10am, because the two guests had to have some breakfast and left around 11.00 or 11.30 am

Later on the day, my brother and his gf arrived and stayed till late evening (luckily I didn't have to make dinner that day ;p) and I collapsed from near-exhaustion on my bed around midnight (which is quite early for me ;p)
So, I had a great time

Onto the next year ;p
