Super Bowl

Why is everyone in the States so excited about Super Bowl? It is like the World Cup final in M'sia (although we don't even participate in it!) It is the final game for the National Football League. Ping is totally not a fan of American football. First, it's boring. Second, Ping don't understand the game. But Ping hasn't actually sat down and watch it with someone who wouldn't mind explaining the game to Ping. Plus, Mikey, Jarrod and Chris were never a fan of football so Ping never did watch it. So why did Ping go to a Super Bowl party this weekend? Steph started following the Bears (that's the team from her hometown) and they managed to get themselves into the finals!! Sports can be pretty contagious. When one person gets excited about it, and it's the topic of the season, you kinda get into it too. Furthermore, Ping likes watching sports sometimes.

So Sunday evening was spent at Steph's place watching Super Bowl. Ping managed to get part of the game 'coz Daniel was there to explain it to us. Steph also know quite a bit about football. It is not as fun as soccer (the REAL football) but it wasn't that bad. Although it is not something that Ping would follow through the entire season though. Not 'kan cheong' enough.
Besides the game, there's the food!! Yes..food!!! It is a full course too. We had appetizers...
which are popiah that Ping brought over, vege tray that Steph prepared and little weeners that Jen and Steph made. The main course - salad, garlic bread and lasagna was prepared by Steph and Jen. Basically Ping just went to makan only.
We also had desserts from Kristi and Daniel...chocolate chip cookies, the Bears themed cupcakes and rum molasses cookies (the best!)...it taste a little like Ipoh kai chai peng (not sure if that's what it's called :P).
Lastly, we had free flow of drinks!!! Ping actually had two glass!!! And was still perfectly fine!! TWO!!!! An Ameretto stone sour (it's becoming one of Ping's favorite drinks now!) and Margarita.
It turned out that the Bears lost pretty bad. But Ping had a lot of fun. In fact, Ping hasn't had such a good laugh for a long time. Laughed till tummy hurts but it was good. Thanks Steph!! (I forgot to take pictures of us in the shirts from your mum :( )
