I planned a fun casual Birthday BBQ by the Koi Pond for Kingsley last Sat evening.  It was such a beautiful day until literally 5 minutes after we started grilling when the heavens opened and a massive thunderstorm hit.  We are talking torrential rain, lightening that quite possibly struck a tree by the Koi Pond and thunder so loud your teeth rattled.  Needless to say the BBQ had to be rushed inside pronto.

This of course was kind of stressful because obviously I did NO preparation for having 16 guests inside our condo all evening. Also trying to salvage/cook half grilled chicken, boerewors and veggie kabobs in the oven is not as easy as it seems.  Thankfully the evening wasn't a total disaster.  We have such fantastic friends who all chipped in to help and were happy to cram around our little coffee table for the rest of the evening.

My initial worries of throwing Kingsley the "worst Birthday BBQ ever" faded as the evening wore on and everyone had such a wonderful time.  The party kept going till after midnight when the discussion shifted to our final topic: the likelihood of a Zombie Apocalypse in Singapore. The most important question being, would we try to swim north to Malaysia or south to Indonesia if Singapore became overrun by Zombies. For the record the overall consensus was - south.
