BBQ @ Club 4 Paws

Was supposed to be a lazy sat.Was nuaing at home before heading to BBQ at Sox's new playground- club4paws @ 7pm with the hockey team. thought I had another 10 mins before 6pm when I would start getting ready (which involves getting of the bed to start with) and prob arrive fashionably late (I'm well trained after so many hockey gatherings)..when at 5.55pm...

*phone rings*

"Hello, sox here hor..are you still in Jurong? Oh..at home huh? Can you help go to IMM Giant and help me buy a BBQ pit? I'm at Sheng Siong now..they don't sell here leh"

??!!!??!!?! IMM on weekends is a madhouse..but well..no BBQ pit=no BBQ gathering.

So it was rushing to throw on something and rush out of the house. The madhouse assumption was well proven. But anyway...

By 7.35pm..I reached the doggie club.

Sox started this joint with another friend. They got great services and both are great dog lovers!

Well, the invite didn't state to come accessorised, but anyway Xiu brought 2 cute (and uber hyper!!) jack russells Kiwi and Ricky.

And since it is a club for species with paws, there were a few of themn around. This was the Alaskan monster..er..husky (he's really quite big sized).

Another doggie.

The clubhouse. There were really a lot of space for doggies to run around! There was a doggie pool just on the left side of the photo where they can go for swims with hosing down afterwards.

And so the BBQ started. @ 8pm I think. (what did I say about hockey gatherings earlier?)

While the BBQ was underway, went to check out the enclosure which kept 2 found doggies. They were apparently found wondering around. The pup was a mongrel, but the alaskan was without chip and hence cant trace owner.

Thought the Alaskan looked damn forlorn. So poor thing. Dont understand how people can buy the dogs and then throw them away (btw Sox was asking if anybody keen to adopt. So if anybody is interested pl let me know!)

But both the pup mongrel and Alaskan were playing. Think they were happy that they have at least found sanctuary.

I realised that I didn't take pix of the food (guat has prepared a lot x3..) cos how to take when your hands were oily from the bbq wings?? heh~ :D

Anyway the ultimate finishing were the durians!!!!! YUMMY!!!!

The host doing the honour of cutting up the fruit.

Anyway the gathering was actually to discuss some stuff on team admin issues..seems like we may be facing a 青黄不接problem with the bulk of us hitting/already hit 30 and above, with not enough feeder players from the U21. Looking back, the main team has been playing together for a good 7-10 years?? I remembered I started since 17 or 18 for the U21 team..

Wah lau...scary...

Photo proof that we were in serious discussion (or were we distracted and bitching abt something else?)

Did I say they were uber hyper? So they were banished to the fences cos they kept jumping up at people when we were discussing the serious topic of $$$$.

But they got hugs afterwards! :))

Next hockey gathering @ HONG KONG!! YAY!
