Xbox Party!!!

Last Friday, I finally managed to tear myself away from work and spend some time with my sister, my nephews and niece. I told them to organise an Xbox 360 party on Friday which was supposed to last until at least 3 in the morning. However they're all still in primary school so they're not really the party-till-early-morning type, yet. Two of their cousins came over and joined them that night. I thought I was going to provide food but ended I only needed to bring Nachos and ICE CREAM. My sister prepared the dip as well as Briyani Rice (More on this later). In the end they ended playing Halo 3, and then the board game of Risk. I ended up playing Medal of Honor: Airborne alone and they all went to sleep at 0130hrs.

I thought to myself "What a Cop-Out! One thirty and they're all heading for bed?? Sheesh!!" So I sat in front of my sister's Big Screen Plasma and watched Die Hard 4.0. Again. Well at least I tried to cos I fell asleep before one third of the movie was done, around 0230hrs I guess.

The highlights of the night was my sisters briyani which was quite nice except the cucumber "achar". She used chilli padi rather generously and failed to mention it to me. No matter how hot my lips had to suffer that night it was nothing to what I had to go through the next morning. I could only describe it as the most excruciating experience on a toilet in my adult life. There's a Malay word for it which I have yet to find an apt English equivalent. The word is "PIJAU".

Weirdly enough as I'm typing this entry I'm munching on some leftover pizza which had an unhealthy dose of those chilli flakes that some sap had inadvertently poured on the pizza. Anyway one those flakes got into my right eyeand I've just had a 30 second panic attack that I might go blind in one eye.

To end this entry I'd like to say that I had this while watching Die Hard 4.0. That's not brownies, just plain chocolate cake.
