Its nice to be invited to dinner with friends, especially home cooked dinners!
I am really appreciative! Really!
Somehow a dinner involving mostly acquaintances, except for one or two friends, and an intimate cosy setting in someone's home, wrapped in Western Dining environment, I just curl up and start asking "Do I have to go?"
"Yes, you have to, blah blah blah" - "Come lah, come and know more people, blah blah blah"
Why am I curling up? I can operate in social environment quite smoothly. I can talk to new found friends and establish connection. Why is this dinner making me feel awkward even before I go?
Maybe because its a cosy session, smaller group, which makes the ratio of acquaintance seem larger(?) Maybe becos I have to make sure I do not clang the dishes, cut the lambs elegantly and sip my drink in a lady-like manner, cross my leg and speak with p's and q's(?)
Is that why I am crinching?!
Having said that, yes, I will go, I will go becos its Lara's invite, becos its a long time friend, and I am playing the role of a supportive friend there and people cooking for me, so I should be thankful and appreciative!
Can I just do my "now-sadays" and "oren ju no eye" joke there?!

My darling 6th sense,
In all honesty, you can go there and say your 'nowsadays', 'orleng ju no eye' or use your hokkien phrases, no one will mind. :) Why? Cos, the profiles of the people going are really easy going and down-to-earth. :) It's an extremely casual setting where there will be no set seats for people on the table. In fact, we'll just throw food on the table and say "NA go eat!" HAHA... It'll be fine! :) *hugs*

Greetings from the land of sheeps! The sheeps are so cool here.. makes me want to go and hug them to sleep heheeh. RIght, I am here on a mission to give a few tips to 6th Sense for the dinner next weekend.
6th Sense: Lara will be there and lamb is served, so this dinner wont become an insipid gathering, socially or food-wise. if you really have to, prepare someone for 'toothpick' duty. Ask him/her to be on standby to call you when conversation becomes dry. Worst case, get pissed drunk first before entering house of lamb - for that added dash of courage to make small talk. Remember, just ask questions and let other speak. People like to listen to themselves talk. So suck it up and go! Muahahaha...
