At times like this I wonder why I do this to myself - planning a party is stressful work. I spent the whole day running around (actually driving around): returned one item at Marshall’s, bought some items at Giants, picked up Marvin’s graduation hood and gown from the bookstore, went to Valley Farm market to get vegetables, picked up halal chicken from Ika, went to Saturday evening service, and then one last trip to Walmart to buy a metal tong. I’m sort of drained out now but I have five cut-up chicken and assorted vegetables in the fridge waiting for me to start work.

List of things to do tonight:
1. Marinate half of the chicken with honey soy sauce mixture
2. Marinate the other half of the chicken with tandoori yogurt mixture
3. Wash and cut zucchini, green/orange/yellow peppers and mushroom
4. Marinate cut vegetables
5. Soak bamboo skewers in water

List of things to do tomorrow:
1. Make more ice
2. Assemble vegetable kebabs: pineapple cubes, cherry tomatoes, mushroom, zucchini, green/yellow/orange peppers
3. Cook tomyam beehoon
4. Pick-up some people from lower campus
5. Remember to take deep breaths
6. Have a good time
7. Major clean-up afterwards
