Last Sunday 3.Oct.09, we had our first housewarming party. We decided to do steamboat without much hesitant. We both are not great cooks and we don't have a barbeque. Potluck? We thought that since it's our housewarming, we don't feel right asking our friends to bring food for this occasion.
It turned out to be a good choice, some of them came later than the rest, so we ate and chat while waiting for other rest to arrive, and not cooking too much each time. There were 19 of us that day? We created a lot of "noise" which is really good to warm up our house. haha! We were busy entertaining our friends that we forgot to take photos on our own! Bugger!
We didn't realise that the day we had our housewarming was the day Chinese all over the world celebrated mooncake festival. Double celebration!! Our friends bought mooncakes and lanterns over for everyone to enjoy... It was very good... comparable to those we usually get back in KL.

Wii time after heavy lunch
Mooncake time!
Mooncake imported from Hong Kong (I think)
Group photoWhen the sun was down, we lit up the lanterns at our backyard and one of us came up with the idea of walking around the neighbourhood with our lanterns. We thought "why not??!!". This is old school and gold! We did just that but to a nearby park. We would not want to cause any concerns with the locals which are not accustomed with this sort of festival.
It was good fun... raised a few eyebrows from the locals passed by, heads turned, cars stopped wondering what we were up to, we made ourselves noticed! haha!
Oh yeah, I am begining to believe that the number "3" is our lucky number. A lot of occasion/event occurred have some connection with "3":
- We got our first house in our 3rd year back in Australia
- I was wearing a shirt bearing the number 3 on my right arm while bidding for our house
- If we add our house settlement price, it comes back to number 3
- Our house number is 3
- Our first house warming was held on 3rd Oct 2009
- It took us 3 weeks to decide the type of furniture we want to buy and how to place them in our house
Bear in mind, none of these were planned! Maybe I should start buying lottery with the number 3 only. Haha!

A family of 3 will also be a good number :) :) :)
Congrats once again on your new home sweet home. Wow, steamboat for 19 pax definitely doesn't sound easy to me.
