[Andy]

Wow, time flies
It was yesterday when we met for refresher and everyone is graduating :(

[Hien]

BTW, there's a basketball court (fullsize) right outside the building for those who love to play the game. Remember to bring your own ball though

[woody]

I'm going to drive out from Brooklyn (Prospect Park area) in case anyone needs a ride.

[Andy]

Interesting.
Are there any karaoke, poker going on there ?

Anyone in midtown plans to meet and go there together ?

[Vadim]

I know an interesting game, we can play :)
No worries, it is not Russian roulette.

[Andy]

Truth or Dare ?
I'm curious to see how the number of new students turn out this time. We outnumber them everytime :)

Look at the pic of last time group hug bbq08 - Quantnet Photo Gallery (http://www.quantnet.org/photo/showphoto.php/photo/33/size/big/cat/)

Only if you're coming! :)

[Andy]

Hien,
A friend just came back from his hunting trip and wanted to know if we need some fresh deer meat for the party. Wanna have some delicious grilled meat ?
You do the cooking of course :)

[Andy]

2 days to go before P(arty) Day. And 1 day to go before D-Day. I'm so in the holiday mood that I can't wait for the party to get started.

By the way, the view of NYC skyline from Hien's apt must be awesome.

Not really, I'm on the ground level and all the tall buildings block everything. When I moved here in 2001 these buildings were not there so I could see the old Twin Towers...but not now.

[Yusheng]

I was just aware that the party will be held in Hien's home. Thank you very much, Hien.

[luso]

Hien, do you need us to bring anything?

[Yan He]

Hien, do you need us to bring anything?


Yes, hotpot set, gas oven and beverage :D

[dstefan]

Unfortunately, I have a family commitment to honor today... :(

Have a great party!!!

[Eddie]

Me too, to a lesser extent though, :smt047 , wish you guys have fun!
