BBQ at Boss's house

This was the first time after I've been working for so long in Cheng & Co that Mr Liew invited the staff in our department to have a BBQ session for mooncake festival celebration at his house on September 26. Really kinda surprise on that arrangement.

As a return for his free treat on the off peak celebration, we planned to treat him for the BBQ instead. All the food and equipment for BBQ is prepared by us. As Mr liew was inviting some other partners to this event as weill, he suggested us to buy some satay..... Erm... think he is worried that at the end of the day we are unable to grill any food for his invited guests. The invited guests are Dr Paul and his wife, Mr Chua and his wife and Steven's family. Steven is so generous to contribute RM200 for this event. His money is utilised to buy 100pcs of chicken wings and a bucket of KFC whereas Mr Chua bought us a bottle of red wine.

I'm not involved in the BBQ planning stage at all as there are lots of colleagues were helping up for it. Too many cooks, spoil the soup..... I don't want to be the one who spoil the plan... hehe.

When I reached Mr Liew's place, to my big surprise, there was lotsssssssss of food were served. For BBQ, there were fruits, 100pcs of chicken wings, fish, sweet potatoes, fishballs, sausages, ham etc. On the other hand, Mrs Liew prepared lots of food for the event fried noodles, dessert, mooncakes, apple pie, curry chicken etc. Together with the pre-ordered 500 satays, i guess this would be a big BBQ session with hundreds of guests around.

Then colleagues told me that the guests were all there already. It's only around 20 of us. Oh my God!! Mountains of food for 20 of us!!!

A rough calculation came to my mine in no time. Averagely each of us has to cover 5 pcs of chicken wings, 1 KFC, half of a fish, 25 satay etc....... That's terrible. Such a weak estimation for the event as obviously there would be lots of food wastage. I somehow feel that all of us are treated as if we are just back from Africa.

At the end of the BBQ session, the left over food are a lottttttt more than those finished by us. Everyone is forced to pack lotssssss of food to bring home.

I feel so lucky that this BBQ session was held at Mr Liew's house. Mr Liew didn't really comment much on the event. If the same scenario was taken place at Mr Chua's place, I'm sure and I'm guaranteed that Mr Chua would shout out, "Bad planning! Bad planning! Bad planning!".
