Part 2 - How to Organised a Simple BBQ !
Make sure you read the previous post 1st before you read this !!!
This is a post for organisers wannabe only !
Using the simple 5WH1.... And for example my last BBQ i did...
What -- BBQ
Where -- East Coast Park
When -- July 2009
Who -- Lets say... 30 names....
Why -- Birthday Celebration
How -- Budget of 200-250....
So... Send out a simple msg to everyone 1st when you got all the details you wanna do....
Message Example !
Normally i will write for the first message !
Hi everyone, anyone who is free on XX July09, im doing a birthday celebration at East Coast Park for "Person X" who is interested ?! Please replied asap thanks ! Oh ya... a 20 bucks i needed for BBQ food....
Second message !
Once a date is cfm... then you sent out a message again !
Alright guys... Majority of the ppl can make it on the XX July 09... Those who have trouble coming, please try your best to come. I will be booking the BBQ pit by this week and will collect the 20 bucks from everyone individually !
So collect all your money asap in every weekends and call them before hand 3 days in advance and be a great loan shark from here ! If not you money collection will drag your time down alot !
Best is to keep it in a 2 weeks time line for some reason some ppl have time forking out money or whatever !!
NEVER NEVER EVER !! Let them tell you... I give you when i go the money / you help me pay 1st / I pay you on the BBQ day itself unless their 100% trusted !
3rd Message (Send to those who are unconfirm 1 week before you buy your foods)
Just to double confirm, who can suddenly make it or able to come just that i dont know please confirm with me your attendances within this 3 days so that i can collect your money and i can get enough BBQ food for you guys too !
4th Message a reminder to people they have a BBQ (not really necessary)
Alright guys... Im going to BBQ food shopping in this weekend, anyone who wanna help me out please call me up i will appreciate a few strong men / women that can help me with all the stuff back to my place !
5th Message REMINDER(3-5 days before the BBQ)
Alright guys... Just so you guys dont forget ! XX July09, East Coast Park....
I and my helping crew will be there at 5pm to start the fire etc... Come anytime from 6-7pm the best =) Cya guys....
There you go... A simple message sending to people... If im doing a 30-40 ppl attendances i will be cutting down my sms into 3 times.... This aint really a good example after all and it also gotta depend on the situations !
FOOD LIST !!!!
1. Budget !! How much food you can buy !
2. Halal food... If your inviting Malay friends !
3. Seafood ? Make sure you friends aint allergy to seafood !
4. Vegetarian ? Wtf huh ?! Vegetarian come to BBQ ?!
5. Drinks ? Not a problem
BBQ food are normally Chicken Wing, Satay, Otak, Corn, HotDog, Prawn, Crab Stick, Potato or whatever crap you wanna !
A few things i learned from seeing people eating at BBQ ! Normally people just dont really wanna get their hands dirty ! Such as chicken wing, prawn etc... those food which u need to use your hand to eat.... People dont really will touch it....
Satay and Otak is the most people will touch cause it taste great and it doesnt really stain your hands...
Hotdog & Crab sticks are kinda filling... And it's also easy to eat with a fork !
Corn gotta use hand to eat but kinda stain your hand a little !
Prawn is a hassle and lots of ppl hate to plug the shells / legs of the prawn
Making a BBQ is not just making it and the food is there... And GUYS tuck up !! Nope... WE HUMAN BEINGS are spoiled brags... We tend to be very picky at times !! And we will be very lazy to go in and out of the toilet just to wash our hands...
PEOPLE ALWAYS TEND TO FORGET THINGS !! Even you Organiser too !
What i mean is a lighter.... 2 days before the event put a lighter or matches into the charcoal plastic bag.... Or at your desk where you often put your cellphones and wallet at.... Ignore what your parents will think as you as a smoker or not... Cause if they do, their a true idiot, not you !
BBQ cfm need ! Excluding food !
CHALET !
Crazy enough for me to say ! Chalet is seriously god damn tough to do !
As for me, chalet is not about having fun there ! Is about the time spend with your friends !
Lets get straight to the point....
Depending on what chalet you wanna get...
A bunch of list of chalet i love and enjoyed and affordable !
Few things u need to know before you book a chalet
OUTING !
This is pretty much everything i ever done ! Least but not least
Organising a outing is 10x much more easier then a BBQ... Cause you just need to call the people up and tell them the WHY and WHAT and WHEN !
After that they cfm if they can... then tell them the where to meet and time for meeting... Simple as that...
If you met any trouble, feel free to call me...

BBQ food are normally Chicken Wing, Satay, Otak, Corn, HotDog, Prawn, Crab Stick, Potato or whatever crap you wanna !
- Chicken Wing is a MUST LA !!! 1 pack can give about 10+/- ppl to eat !
- HotDog is CHEAP !!! Just count 1 person can eat 3 or 5.... then 5 x AMOUNT of ppl Going... Then divide by 2.... Get around that amount !!
- Satay are NOT cheap !! cost about 40cent per stick... a person can eat 5-10 sticks...
- Otak are NOT cheap too... and some commericals one in the NTUC are not really nice !
- Crab Stick to me is a average finger food ! Around the price of a HotDog too !
- Corn is Cheap & Filling !
- Prawn is kinda expensive !
- Soft Drinks are damn expensive !! Get Syrup will be cheapest !
- Fried Rice very filling a good food for BBQ to avoid people from a empty stomach
