Dezenove

YES Dezenove, for those that don't know, dezenove is nineteen in Portuguese. Nineteen is a number...nineteen is the age I turned this weekend. I'm still very young o! anyway, we had a chickenfest. couple friends were coming over, and chicken was to be served...Well, the people were slated to come at 17:25..but it was only at 16:00 that we started getting this ready...all the chicken that had marinated overnight needed to be popped in the oven...the 'macaroni and cheese' needed to be made....the 'fried rice' needed to be made...as well as the pasta (fussili) to be exact...well lets say...apart from the pasta..nothing else was made (chicken was made of course)..reasons being..for the rice...no one had the guts to make the rice properly, by properly I mean each grain standing out...as for the mac and cheese...we didn't have an oven dish...so it was not possible to do it...the pasta was made however...strangely tho, we didn't move it to the general food population so ppl did not know it was available, so it remained untouched all night. (now there's a large-ass bowl of pasta in the kitchen a.k.a food 4 the week)
I had to go get Marlene from the station, she came with a French guy..Lionel (don't get crazy Laura)....and an American- William...from the ATL (we would go on to talk about Malcolm X, Hip-Hop and other stuff...)
Anyway, the eating began...I can't really detail all that! Everyone was eating and socialising while me and Will Smith (ATLian) Cranked that Soulja Boy...yeah...Zimbabwe Will (Mos Def) missed this joyous occassion becoz he was in London watching rugby....
Then...the cake..Dave bought the cake...the Barbie Island Princess Cake. He went looking for a West African themed cake, but was unlucky...so he settled with the next best option- a Pink Island Princess cake! yesir!! and I loved it....
Was it the best day of my life..Oh yes it was...(although Nov.13 might outdo this day)...Nov 13..American Gangster hits the cinemas!lol....My Nigerian sisters Thelma and Adeline were there in Full force...flatmates Fiona, and Vishal (aka Chef) & Laura (our french-fry gatherer..lol) Poetry dudes..David, Mark, Segun & Victor. Ovi and Andrew. Natalie, Matt and Jack...American Football lads, Jay, Ryan, Pete, Gordon..Friend's Forever- Marlene and Jeremy..Will & Lionel...thanx for making that a memorable night!
