Farewell Party

Hello all. Michael & Beatrice See will be leaving for UK soon, and we will be throwing them a farewell party on the 4 September. It will be a BBQ. Below are the details:

Venue: Bongs' place
Date: 4 September 2011
Time: 5pm onwards (you may come earlier to help set up if you wish)

As we'll be catering to quite a few people, the Bongs are requesting some help in the food department. We'll be preparing the chicken wings and dessert, as well as the general neccessities like paper plates, cups, and utensils.

We would really appreciate it if some of you guys can volunteer to bring more food, so we can feed everyone. Here's a list of things you could bring:


  • Drinks (bottled, packet)

  • Sausages (frozen, for BBQ-ing)

  • Crab-sticks

  • Fried rice/noodles (if you want a staple)

  • Snacks (chips, marshmallows etc)

  • Any foodstuff you might want to bring

Do let me know if you're coming or not and whether you are bringing anything; this way I'll know how much food needs to be prepared.

Enjoy the rest of the week, and God bless! :)

Gaude Maria Translation

This took me a while to find/decipher, but here's the translation for Gaude Maria:

Latin: Gaude Maria Virgo!
English: Rejoice, Virgin Mary!

Latin: quae Gabrielis Archangelis dictis credidisti
English: who believed the words of Archangel Gabriel

Latin: dum virgo Deum et hominem genuisti
English: while still a virgin, bore God and man

Latin: et post partum virgo inviolata permansisti
English: and after the birth remained virgin inviolate

Latin is fun~
