BBQ BBQ!

During the start of the semester, one of the first things I did with my friends was to have a BBQ. It was only apt that we ended the semester off the same way yesterday. Instead of the magnificent 8, there's the terrific 10 now, with 2 additions for the night. As usual, we went to buy lots of food, about $120 worth of them. Haha. Sidetrack a bit, meat and vegetables are getting really expensive nowadays! The same amount of stuff we got yesterday would probably have cost $90-$100 half a year ago. I can't believe brocholli is now selling at $6++ a kilo. The highests I've seen it go was $9+ a kilo, cheapest probably $1+ a kilo. Blame inflation!

 

Anyways, back to topic. Yesterday's BBQ was probably going to be one of the last meet ups for most of us, as exams are coming up, thereafter everyone will start making their way back to Singapore. Long story short, we had lots of fun eating, talking cock, playing mahjong and monopoly. With some of us graduating this semester, it will be difficult to gather everyone together again in the future, but I'm sure we will take with us all the fond memories. Here's to friends! Cheers!

Growing pains
Broken chains
A sad melody

Falling tears
Listening ears
A friend just for me

Reaching out
Sharing doubt
When life gets me down

Hands to clutch
Gentle touch
Can turn me around

Spoken words
Softly heard
Cognitivity

Holding tight
Loving light
Calm serenity

Thank you all, my friends.

Buffet buffet!

Yesteday my school's Singapore Students Association organized a end of semester dinner at the Watermark Hotel in downtown Surfers Paradise. Previous semesters, the dinners were usually held at some restaurants, but this time, the organizers decided to go for a buffet spread instead! The SSA was subsidizing a good $7 off the orginal buffet price of $39, making it a rather tantalizing deal for a buffet. There were lots of yummy food on offer, fresh oysters, smoked salmon, ham, salami, sushi, crabs, and a few cooked food sections including indian and italian foodfare.

 

 

 

The food was great, in addition to the wonderful company of many friends. There were more than 40 people, including some friends from Malaysia, and even my aussie housemate and friends. After dinner was, of course, picture taking session. Haha.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was an awesome and enjoyable evening for everyone. Thank you for the food and the company. =)

Happy Birthday Halloween!

 

Nursing a bad hangover at the moment. Hur hur hur. Yesterday my downstairs neighbour organized a halloween cum birthday party, yupp costumes included. Haha. She invited many many people! Roughly 30-40 people turned up for her party, all in costumes! I did not have any costume to wear initially, as I was "busy" studying for my exam the whole week, but my housemate insisted that I have to wear something. She rummaged through her wardrobe, and got some ideas. She gave me two choice, school girl and teacher. I couldn't fit into her tiny schoolgirl skirt, haha, so in the end she gave me a vest and ask me to wear it over a shirt.

 

 

 

I was trying on a few shirts to see which one goes with the mini vest. In the end, none fit, so I thought "whatever, just wear the vest with nothing underneath!" Haha. When I showed my housemate and neighbour, she was laughing hysterically. This is going to be quite embarrasing.

 

My neighbour's boyfriend was a topless waiter, at least I won't be the only one who feels exposed. Haha. My housemate's a she-devil, whereas my other neighbour is a not-so-piraty-looking pirate. I think I look more like a pirate than her, but I am supposed to be peter pan/toyboy, haha. Some of the costumes at the party ware hilarious! There were ninja turtles, mime-man, witch, dracula, power ranger, cleopatra, etc...

 

My favourite, the power ranger;

 

Later in the night, we adjorned, again, to Howl at the Moon. We were there just a few weeks ago, celebrating my other neighbour's birthday. As usual, there were many crazy people, like us, there as well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Towards the end of the night, everyone (me) was getting real high. I don't even remember who this girl was, and why were we taking a photo in the first place. But oh well, it's all in the name of fun right. Haha.

 

 

 

 

 

What a way to end of the semester! Happy Halloween, everybody!
