Gavin's birthday celebration (12 Sept 09)

It's Gavin's 8th Birthday. We all got sick of take-aways and deliveries, so we decided to have a pot-luck party and wanted to exempt Mum from cooking, so she can rest. Shian and I did the Honey Roasted wings. Haha...we are not seasoned cooks yet, only done some simple cooking at home for the both of us. First time we are cooking such a big portion. We decided to go to the wet market for the first time since we are buying so many chicken wings. We went to Tiong Bahru Market, and scouted around as to which stall we should go to. Finally, the store that we wanted to buy from - i repeated my order twice, and the Uncle said he didn't understand me! Finally he got his daughter to take my order. Gosh....am I that bad?

Anyway, i think we are not quite used to seasoning such a big portion of Chicken Wings, turned out it was not as nice as when we cooked just enough for the both of us at home. Nonetheless, our family supported us by finishing everything :) Our chicken wings looking good in the oven :

I bought the cake for Gavin this time, also from Swensens. Since it didn't cost much difference to request for one of those kiddy decos, i decided to get it for him:

Haha...another family photo taken at my parents' place:
