东海岸公园烧烤会
East Coast Barbecue Gathering
04/08/2018
八月四日星期六,总会青年组、康乐组与妇女组合力在东海岸公园举办烧烤聚会。下午四点,主办单位把预备好的烧烤工具、处理好的食材以及用具带到会场。之后大家就开始一起动手烧烤,干起活来驾轻就熟。你把食材准备好,我设置折叠式桌子,他们忙着生火......各司其职。
烧烤的最佳食材当然是鸡翅啦,所以准备了不少。此外还有香肠、大虾、沙爹等诸多食品,其它食物有炒米粉、咖哩、甜品、水果和饮料。
五点过后,会员宗亲与家属陆续到场支持此项活动。出席人数约40多位。大家聚在一起有说有笑, 很是愉快。
傍晚六点时,天公不作美,下起倾盆大雨,大伙儿只好到邻近的凉亭避避雨。不过,大家很有耐心,认为守得云开见月明。果然不出所料, 雨势转弱后,宗亲们迫不及待撑着伞重新生火,让烧烤活动继续进行。
在此感谢宗亲们给予此聚会的热心支持。也感谢青年组、康乐组与妇女组为此活动策划、忙碌。
On Saturday, August 4, the youth, recreation, and women's committees of Ang Shee General Association jointly held a barbecue at East Cost Park. At four o'clock in the afternoon, the organizers brought the equipment, food, and other utensils for the barbecue to the event location. Later, all of us pitched in to cook. Everyone seemed to know what to do and did it well. Some prepared the food, some set out the folding tables, and some were busy lighting the fire.
The most ideal food for barbecue is of course, chicken wings, so we prepared a lot of wings. There were sausages, large prawns, satay, and all other kinds of delicious food like fried bee hoon, curry, desserts, fruits, and drinks.
After five, other clan members and their families came to lend their support to this event. There were about forty people gathered together, and much laughter and joy was shared.
Unfortunately, at six in the evening, the weather made a bad turn, and it started raining cats and dogs. We were forced to find shelter at the pavilions nearby. But everyone exercised patience, believing that every cloud had a silver lining. Our patience paid off and the rain turned into a drizzle. Our clan family could not wait to get the fire going again, so with umbrellas in hand, they rekindled the event.
We would like to thank all the members of the clan for their warm support. We would also like to thank the youth, recreation, and women's committees for their hard work in planning this event.
