Wheee~!

This morning, I was endowed with the huge responsibilty to hand in my group assignment...

the front cover. *sneak a peek*

and we printed everything, FOC. its good to have connections. :)

And yesterday afternoon, it took three person to work the binding machine. Arjun, Shawn and I were meddling with the dumbo machine, noobs we all are. Eventually they got the hang of it, but I was there sweating profusely and my heart wanted to drop because so damn scared of a binding mishap. Thankfully there were nice people around to guide us, such as Xin and this dude. *phew.

(will insert picture of us holding the assignment once Jesslyn posted it on facebook =P)

So yes, after all the weekly Sunday night meetings, the sweat and tears, countless of biscuits, chocolates and candies chewed down our throats...

*wheeee!

Thank you Regina, Eu Gene, Arjun, Shawn, Aaron and Jess for the amazing experience. I say we all make a pretty awesome team. =)

and Omg. Preparing for corp valuation exam is a pain. Yes, we rejoice to the fact that there is the existence of two cheat sheets for a subjective paper, but it's damn painstaking to type out all the facts into micromini fonts and having your eyes going @.@ everytime you look at it.

So note to self: need to buy a magnifying glass from civic.

I have a huge craving for japanese food now. gah gah gah. salmon...

June's Surprise!

Yes, the MSO dinner was not just about gathering of people, nor marks the end of semester 2 2008. It was also a very early birthday celebration for June. Poor babe, birthday on macro 2 exam. =/

family portrait. =)

Glad we managed to pull off the surprise.

Evidently. =)

Updated!

Since Maha did not make it to the dinner because he has GDA due the next day, so Yeam was kind enough to do what is called photoshop!

This is the REAL family portrait.

*winks!

House Arrest

Well for exam prep at least. Means, more random posts.

I can't wait for tomorrow's dinner with the ex-MSO peeps. Most of us jumped at the chance of being distracted from studying. Heheh. And theme for the dinner? FABULOUS. Place? Wagamama, (not so) fabulous. =P

So yay. And I love Pods. They are such good exam food. And Nutella. All hail the Nutella makers. They are such life savers.

Oh and also as divertion, one resorts to desperate measures like watching series. Heaps of them. Grey's, Gossip Girl, Desperate Housewives, Heroes, Big Bang Theory, Dirty Sexy Money, Brothers and Sisters, Boston Legal to name to few. Of course, I watch them conservatively, don't worry oh mama and papa. =P And though DC is down, msn transfers work wonders as well! Thank you my various sources, Zhafir and Din (passing on stuffs downloaded by Zaza. Thank you babe!), Robin, KK, Daniel, Arjun and Shawn (passing on stuffs downloaded by Kar How and Sheng Wei. Thanks guys!) for your weekly supplies. Also Xin Yi for providing 4 awesome seasons of Boston Legal. You guys deserve a special mention you awesome you!

Okay this is damn random. Now off to print out Corp Val assignment.

*celebratory music*

Byeeee!

Studying Blues.

When and if you are sick of reading those piles of books and notes, download these awesome songs (well at least in my opinion they are)! They help me get by these few boring boring days. =)

1. David Cook - His version of ''Always Be My Baby'' *awesome cover to an old classic*
2. Pussycat Dolls - ''Happily Never After'' *emo song. who doesn't like them? =P*
3. Rolling Stones - ''Angie'' *omg full surrender to the guitar*
4. Sara Bareilles - ''Gravity'' *beautiful*
5. T.I feat Justin Timberlake - ''Dead is Gone'' *will be played in moose soon*
6. Nelly feat Fergie - ''Party People'' *already played in moose*
7. Natalie Gauci - ''How High the Moon'' *a song I will sing live one day*
8. Miley Cyrus - ''7 Things'' *haha its like genie in the bottle for this generation, free spirited*
9. Britney Spears - ''Womanizer'' *hello? it's britney!!*
10. Christina Aguilera - ''Keeps Getting Better'' *the song that rivals Britney's, seriously very similar genre*

Hmm, I think 4 out of 10 are clubbing songs, haha what to do, studying very boring tau, must listen to those kind of songs to get some sort of enthusiasm.

That's it from me now. If you want these songs, can always message me online. I am willing to share. =)

I feel intrigued but honoured. HAHA KK you know what i mean. ;P

Birthday wishes! So many babies born today...including my cousin sis Shan jie, one of few family relatives whom are avid followers of this blog. Happy happy birthdayy! =)

Also...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARK LEYBA!!

I chose not to cut Dylan off this picture because he looks so obscenely good. Muahaha!

And Mark, I hope you enjoyed your party the other day, sadly could only stay for few mins!

I realized I haven't been hanging out much with Unilodge people this year, due to other commitments like ISD, MSO and juggling 2nd year Actuarial. I am still contemplating on whether to go to Halloween this Friday. Exam's next week and I haven't had a costume thought out. But things will change next year, I wanna get involved in all the Lodge activities!!!

Look what June made yesterday?

Ice cream cheesecake. yummmmmm!

Looking forward.

Gene made egg tarts yesterday! My ultimate favourite lah.

Well the shape needs to be improved just a lil bit but tasted very good!

Thank you ko!

That day June called, said she made some desserts (was it puff pastry?) to share, but unfortunately still in the Kursus. You know June and her generous kind ways. Thanks anyway dear! =)

My friends are all good cooks. And I am so not. I always say I'm good at the dishwashing haha. So they can cook, I can wash. Then I also can eat. Win win right?

Oh I can't wait for the holidays to start!

Well, I won't be going anywhere per se, since I will be doing internship. But it won't take out too much fun from my holidays!

Highlights include:

ISD lovelies Didier, Minhua, Jon and JD are coming to visit!! It's too bad I am not going to Singapore earlier to join the birthday celebrations, but oh well, we'll just enjoy ourselves more in KL yeah? We go Kbox, eat, shop, eat more again etc. And have a belated birthday celebration as well in MOS. Haha I can imagine Didier nodding in agreement. =)

Then there is the infamous Aik Twins Pool Party, so far 4th year in the running. How time flies right? Now there is an addition of people to the throw-into-the-pool list, Twins Pool virgins Amanda and Michelle. Heheh. Babes you all cannot escape already this time, no excuse!! =P

Then Aimran's wedding! It's going to be my first friend's wedding experience. ^^

Then Lyon, Wei Ling and Arjun are doing internship in KL. So more friends to hang out with!

And in between all that, eat gym eat gym eat gym.

Haha. I likey the way it is now.

Festival!

So Toad Hall Multicultural Festival was a success. MASCA was in charge of manning the Malaysian booth for cultural exhibitions, and also helping to sapu all the good (free) food from 30 countries! My tummy damn big now but so worth it man. As usual, more pictures on Facebook...

The booth!

Having to stand there means having your picture taken by random people. We all had like 20 over random pictures being taken. Haha. It was as if WE were the exhibitionists. Not in THAT way of course. ;P

And funny thing is there was this dude who approached me and, in his words, said I was ravishing in the kebaya, but he saw that I have a boyfriend therefore it was a shame.

I was like HUHH??

Fashion show. =P

True blue Malaysian girls. Haha.

Unity and Integration

MASCA helped facilitate the Kursus Perpaduan dan Integrasi Pelajar 2008 organized by the Higher Education Ministry of Malaysia from the 22nd October till 23th October at the ANU. It was all and all an interesting event I felt.

I was not involved directly in the discussions and talks as I was in charge of registration outside, but I have heard pretty good feedbacks about the course. I had the opportunity to peep in for an hour and it was pretty amazing to see my counterparts who seem undetered by any form of nervousness and doubt when presenting their thoughts and wishes for the future betterment of Malaysia.

Indeed, En. Amer, one of the speakers who travelled all the way from home, said that we are the young leaders of tomorrow. And clearly, it was evident that the Malaysian students here are brilliant leaders to be with their eloquent presentations and thoughts, sometimes much more mature than our current leaders back home.

Anyway, here are some pictures! Courtesy of Yeam for the last two. =)

Meet and Greet Dinner @ Turkish Pide House

Us MASCA with Dr Nasir, MSDA Director, Mr. Amer and wife, and Dr. Jamal.

Heheh. Me receiving my cert. =P

The participants.

Thanks everyone for making this such a successful event, especially in such short notice! More so to those who has helped out tremendously for the two days. Special mention to Din, Zhafir, Weijun, Bob and Ali the driver who were so helpful in making sure the arrival of the foods. =)

Phew. MASCA 2008/2009 are involved in 4 events this month! Hari Raya @ High Commission, Deeparaya, this Kursus and also tomorrow's Toad Hall Multicultural Festival. And I'm parading my kebaya. >.<

All is only at the beginning, we've got so much more in store next year! ;P

Finally

Finally after all the bad luck and all the pebbles thrown at me in the last few weeks, some good news.

I got SC internship. yay.

The trip to Sydney has been worth it.

And the best part is I did it all, just me and my papers, without using any family connections. Makes it all sweeter. =)

Dreams

What do they depict?

Why do they exist?

Sian.

I always dream of happenings, dream of people around me, and sometimes dreams are very tricky. Mine always tackle relationships. Friendship. Love. And they're so real. Deceptive.

Makes you think of nonsense. Ish!

If I constantly dream of someone or the same scenario, is there a meaning to it?

Does it mean it's going to happen? Or does it mean it's not?

If I can weave dreams, I would definitely love to dream about food every night. Then I'll always wake up happy and full. Haha.

Sorry lah, this post a bit dumb. I'm blogging from outside Chemistry building. Bertugas for the kursus. So yeah, finding things to do. Hah!

O.O

A macro 2 tute question.

''...In the People's Republic of Bananarama, a market economy, money supply is literally con-
trolled by the president, President Da Xiang Jiao. Suppose President Da one day decides
to build a gigantic banana monument made out of solid gold, to draw attention away from
the previous President's public erection, a solid gold mansion.''

Lol. I don't know whether to laugh or not lor seriously.
Maybe my lecturer thinks its a good thing to incorporate humor into our work, but this one..I'll pass.

Bees Week

I just came back from coffee with a dear friend from Melbourne, Chris and his siblings. They came all the way to do some PR stuffs, 8 hours bus ride here, 8 hours bus ride back soon. T.T I don't know how they can take it lor! I'd be so stressed and uber restless the whole journey. I did it once last year and swore never to do it again.

Chris, hope you enjoyed your short visit to Canberra, although it's pretty much a deadtown on Mondays (and every other day). Haha. =)

Anyway, in the next couple of days, it's freaking hectic. Work tomorrow morning, dinner with Dr. Nasir at night, Kursus Perpaduan on Wednesday and Thursday until 9.30pm, IFM assignment is due on Thursday, phone interview with CIMB on Friday and Toad Hall Multicultural Festival on Saturday. I have to slot in study times in between somemore. Walau.

This week students are required to fill evaluation forms. Finally reality kicks in. OMG. Exams are drawing near. Fluffs are flying. Time to dish out my study/comfort food, chocolates and nutella. =/

Family Reunion.

See see Didier I updated!!! =D

Just got back from the ISD handover meeting. Haha, was having a nice gossipy session with the fantastic four prior to the meeting, and some catching up with Eli, JD and HL after the meeting. Good times.

We also celebrated Akram's belated birthday!! Haha. Funny thing is he actually sang the birthday song and was wondering whose birthday we all were celebrating. =P

Family!

Shiori looks so model-ly! Go enlarge the pic teehee.

Okay time to do some work. Ciao! =)

Winnie Sings

I think I cannot fulfill the resolution of not performing too much next year. Thanks Daniel for downloading some awesome albums for me, including Sara Bareilles'. It's sooo damn good lah, and her voice range is around the same as mine, so yay, more good songs to sing! =D

I always wanted a gig at some club/pub, maybe just for 1/2 hours of singing nonstop. And getting paid for it. I could throw in my piano skills as well, like Sara. HAHA. But don't think it will happen anytime soon. Too busy. Probably when I am working next time, 9am-5pm in the office doing what an actuary (wannabe) would do, after work, then grab a quick dinner, rush to a pub nearby and sing for two hours.

I love performing live. And getting paid for doing something you love is even more rewarding.

I wish I hope I yearn.

Probably should continue voice training when I get back home. Probably.

Developments

My knee's getting better now so thank goodness I don't have to see a doctor for it. Now behaving like a baby trying to learn how to walk all over again. Haha.

And don't worry Jared it's my own fault, did not stretch enough. =/ I'll be fit in no time, at least I hope.

I am so looking forward to the ISD handover meeting tomorrow, just relating wonderful experiences to the new committee and of course, meeting up with all the ex-committee members. teehee. Also Dessert Night on Saturday, sigh, nostalgia lah seiously.

That's all lah. Haha. Uni reopens already so not much drama happening.

I'm So Happening

Hah. You didn't read that wrong. I'm full of self pride that I always fail to hide it. NOT.

Guess what I did yesterday? I sprained my knee. That's right ladies and gentlemen. Super cho loh. I wanted to catch the frisbee ended up having my right leg being in a slightly uncomfortable position and when I turned around, POP! Strained already. I still had the capacity to run like 10 minutes before my nerves transmitted a signal to my brain that I am injured. Limped all the way back home and realized the condition is much worse than I thought this morning.

I can bend my knees to a 90 degree angle, but not 45 degree and certainly would cry my ass off if I try to stretch my left leg into a straight line. fk fk fk.

Seriously damn happening.

Wednesday stiff neck, Thursday lost phone, Friday lack of sleep so drowsy, Saturday sore throat, Sunday sprained knee.

Today when I woke up, I feel crippled. I have to take 15 seconds to get off my bed. I decided not to go to Akram's birthday dinner @ Shogun because I don't think I can make it to Shogun alive with this leg situation. So I skipped today's ifm quiz, wrote a sob email to Hamish my tutor and he allowed me to take the quiz on Wednesday or Friday. Luckily some good fortune there. And also I skipped Survivals. It was worth it afterall since the lecturer was away. Imagine me furious if I had actually limp all the way there realizing that the lecturer was a no show. So double fortune. I also received an email from CIMB for an internship interview when I get back.

So yes, in a way, we learn in IFM that MNC has MNC netting to protect transaction exposure from currency risk, what I have now is luck netting.

Oh I am still in my sleeping clothes, charming isn't it?

Final Year.

HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY AKRAM!!!!!!! =)

ROCKSTAR!

Enjoy your very very special day. =D

I missed Sheng Wei and Regina's birthday party on Saturday night due to recent developments, first early signs of contracting a sore throat, not forgetting lack of sleep from all the cooking, and the biggie, the lost phone.

But from the pictures, party looked so fun and I'm glad they had massive fun on their special day.

And yes, though your birthdays are on the 14th October, I would like to say

HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY!! =)

hope you like your pressies. =P And yes will bring you on a date Regina. teehee.

Moving on, I realized that I have not done many erm things in Canberra/Australia. I have been here for almost 2 years and I haven't gone to events/happenings people usually go or do, like kayaking and Nara Festival, to name a few. Kayak was just pure bad luck, three attempts failed due to bad weather. =/

Things I Hope to Do in Year 2009 (will constantly be updated)

1. Kayak

2. Nara Festival

3. Anzac Day Parade

4. Visit Adelaide in April, Sydney and Perth in middle of the year, Tasmania at the end of the year. See No. 14

5. Go to a Rugby/Footie Match

6. Take Part in an Interhall Sport

7. NOT performing too much, and realising that people are ACTUALLY sick of me

8. Dress up to the theme for International Ball and hoping to win Best Dressed

9. Win a Raffle prize (like THAT will happen)

10. Gamble at any Casino (I meant gamble $5 hah.)

11. Buffet @ Hyatt (costs like $100. So this will be a goood graduation meal)

12. A Rock/Popular Act Concert

13. Rave Party

14. ROAD TRIP in New Zealand. Wah, my dream man.

15. Bateman's Bay

16. Get a REAL tan for once

17. Organize a super duper awesome 21st birthday party.

18. Learn Burlesque from ANUSRA

19. Rob my hair virginity. Colour, Curl, Straighten etc.

20. Going to AFEC and Law Ball

21. Actuarial Trip to Sydney

22. MOST OF ALL, GRADUATE AND HAVING A GRADUATION.

By hook or by crook, I HAVE to do most of these things next year, especially no 1, 2, 3, 15, 16, and 18. I MUST do 22. Have to schedule even. Memories to last a lifetime. Suck it all up before I return to Malaysia (that is if I am going to). HAH!

***

Anyway, I found out too late that I didn't manage to back up my numbers in Optus the other time. Fk fk fk.

Luckily my dad helped me back up some of them, however it was early this year, which means I've lost all numbers added since January 2008. So please if you can forward me your numbers to my email address or message me on facebook, it would be very very much appreciated. *hugs

Gah, imagine I eventually have to manually type in ALL 600+ numbers (because I am just too noob to use a computer for that purpose) and my Sony Ericsson K750i old phone which I am using now cannot even fit 500. Sigh.

Stupid and inconvenient. =/

Last Day.

Deeparaya

Hah. So dumb, I brought down my camera but battery died. So ended up using Lyon's camera. Wei Ling let me play with hers for a while, so I took opportunity, so more pictures will be uploaded soon on facebook by her, so stay tuned. =)

I hope everyone had good fun today! Thank you MASCA and KUACT committee for being such generous hosts and also thank you for putting all the effort cooking those wonderful dishes, especially the nasi kerabu. To DIE for. To those who did not come to the open house, honestly your loss. =( hopefully next time KUACT can cook this dish someday again yeah? ^^ I love it man. Officially my favourite Malay dish.

notice the salt there? hahahhahaha!! whoopss!!

dessicated coconut with anchovies, the essential toppings for nasi kerabu. yummmm.

last but not least,

my ISD darlings came!

I know now that some of you are my blog's loyal silent stalkers,

so special mention to you Ms. Minhua and Mr. Didier teehee!

and we had a blast talking about you know what. HAHA.

Yay. them doing my pout again. I like this spreading thing.

:(l)

This is the best emoticon I can come up with that resembles a pout.

Looks more like Angelina Jolie's lips right? I'm so lame.

So this is likeee officially the FINAL event I am organizing this year. So no more already. Cannot already. Need to get back on track.

Assignment is 30% done. Studying is probably 30% done as well. Not good. >.<

Forgive

I am in a better mood now. And realized self pity and being all ''why these things happen to me'' is just lame. And a crappy excuse for not being more careful.

Yes he was responsible to taking care of it for me, but I was more wrong to blame it all on him. So cheer up sweetie. I forgive you. Hope you will forgive me too.

Random updates!!

I only can do one picture per event because I only had 4 hours of sleep. Was helping out in Fenner for Deeparaya event till 3am, woke up at 7am to fry pratas. phew. luckily that's done. So this is a quick one before I return to my chambers. ;P

Alstrid and me in her little birthday tea party. =)

LASER TAG! I love playing it lah!

My VERY first time eating Rubees. So jakun right.

After that, the long awaited girls' night out.

With the fabulous 4. origin 4. Heh.

babes will always be babes. Muah!

awesome night.

well notwithstanding the fact it ended on a low since I lost my phone. >.<

Oh well.

I've mourned enough the whole day.

Don't want to cry over it again.

Big girl already.

Till next time, goodnight. And will see you at the Deeparaya event! =)

Urgh

I lost my phone. If you want to hear the full story, you just gotta ask those people who watched me scream and shriek hysterically. But now, I got no voice, no mood to talk or do anything. Still searching for it, but it is as good as gone by now, clinching on a bit of hope, but that's it.

I hate losing things. My possession getting slipped away.

My phone ain't grand, it's not N-series nor Iphone, it's just a pretty phone, so to those people who have possibly stolen it; it's would only worth peas.

If it's lost in godknowswhere, then well hopefully some samaritan would have picked it up and kindly return it to me fast. Please.

Breakfast??

But first, CONGRATS ISD 2007/2008 (means US! =P). Our baby International Ball Broadway won NLC's Award for Best Overseas Students Event for year 2008!

So happyyyyyy I could fly!! =))))

Aww miss you guys so much!

On the same note, happy birthday dear Alstrid!

And will see all of you soon for birthday tea yeah? =)

So anyway, out of utter randomness, Lyon and I decided to go to Silo for the first time and out of more spontaneity, Din and Wei Ling followed our crazy idea. So we all woke up at 6am something today, (I personally had only 3 hours of sleep T.T) took a bus to Kingston. For breakfast!!! HAHA!

Quite snazzy right?

HAHA. Adventurers. =P

Some of the foods we tried...

pardon me as I already forgot their names. =P

And seriously it was like THE most expensive breakfast we had EVER IN OUR LIVES. But it was good. And lunch is settled already. =)

them savouring the good stuffs.

us too but we posed in usual fashion. *wink

Now I feel my blood pressure shooting up from all the sweet pastries. HAHA.

Gym for 4 consecutive days? >.<

Weird

So I finally booked my flight home. 18th November.

Canberra-Brisbane-Brunei-Miri-KL.

Weeee~! That's like 1 month and 9 days away. Can't wait.

So I got around to look at virginblue website, was just randomly clicking then I realised that Canberra-Brisbane flight takes only 35 minutes! This is so peculiar since well, Canberra-Sydney takes 50 minutes! Shouldn't it be the other way around since Brisbane is wayyyy further? I searched for Canberra-Gold Coast, which is even farther than Brisbane, and it takes 45 minutes. Still less than Sydney. Seriously??

Three reasons I thought of:

1. Canberra and Sydney's landing pads/airports are facing different directions. HAHA. So they have to swirl/adjust in the sky which takes up much time.
2. Psycological thing. You know how people always take their time knowing that the destination is near, and when the destination is far, they would go full speed ahead? So maybe the pilots are doing the same as well, taking their sweet time when travelling to Sydney.
3. Limited landing pads, priorities given to other planes flying from elsewhere.
(Well this one Lyon contributed, but I plagarise so I won't sound stupid with the above two =P)

Haha. I'm so lame. If anyone knows a reason much intelligent than mine, please share. My inquisitive self needs to know. =/

Slogging Starts Here

I am stuck with macro 2. So bored. My neck feels stiff. I can't turn my head to the left, it'll hurt. *whimpers*

The sky is so gloomy, no thanks to the rainpour. Gah. I want sunlight!!! We have had so many gloomy days over the past 6 months, and I am sick of it.

And stupid Royal Brunei Airlines. Shesh. I still cannot book my flight home!! The thought of being stuck here the whole summer...O.O I wanna go home and eat!!!! >.<

Also, I am so looking forward to Thursday now. My last clubbing night before term 4 starts and hell breaks loose. So let's all party this Thursday people! Let's make this night the very best before we slog out another 3 weeks of lecture then 2 weeks of lifesucking exams okay?

Open House @ En. Sharifuddin's

Today I realized that public transport in Canberra is sooo stupid.

The bus we wanted to take did not show up first thing, so ended up missing the connecting one to Isaacs, the suburb where the open house was situated. Had to take a cab there. Hah. Same situation back. Shesh. I want a car!!!!!! T.T So much convenient lah.

with the tuan rumah.

them playing games. teehee.

Rekindled Love for Sydney

I'm back!!! Teehee. Don't think I can do much studying with this full stomach of mine, so decided to just blog instead. =D

Lyon, Daniel and I reached Sydney at 10am, and did some random sightseeings. Got egg tarts from Emperor Chinatown but not much, wanted to starve for dim sum!!! weee~!

I just had to take this. =D

See see! Daniel also doing my pout. Weeee~!

We met up with our friends, Luzio and Kai Li then headed to the China Grand Restaurant...

OMG. I walloped sooo many man. Siew Mai, Hak Gou, Yam cakes, Chee Cheong Fan, Fried Yam with scallop fillings, Fried Yam with pork fillings, char siew pau etc...

making you salivate leh!!! =D

Oh and we met Daphne and David at the restaurant as well. =)

My alltime favourite!!! =D

This is the most interesting dish. They call it Mango Pancakes, pancakes wrapped with mango slices and whipped cream. Damn yummy I tells you!!

with Kai Li and Luzio.

Then afterwards it was sightseeing aka digesting to eat more later on HAHA

near Darling Harbour.

We stopped at Lindt Chocolat Cafe for good desserts. =P

Lindt's Black Forrest, Cookies and Cream and Almond Praline. ^^

Awww the lovebirds. <3

Kai Li and me in the QVB super chunted toilet. HAHA

Did some window shopping and some real shopping. For instance..

Amanda Manda Panda this is for you from all of us for your awesome 21st birthday tomorrow!

Hope you will like it. =)

After that, Luzio and Kai Li went home. They were very gracious hosts and took us to all the good places. Teehee for instance, for a 4pm dinner (HAHA), they introduced this restaurant called Uighur Cuisine was hidden away in Chinatown...

The Uighurs are a mainly Turkic people whose home is in Central Asia, between Kazakhstan and Mongolia, just north of Tibet in Xinjiang. They're one of more than 50 ethnic minorities in China and speak their own language, Uighur.

interesting...

But the food's sooo awesome!

Shopanji. It's like pan mi in Mongolian curry. damn awesome.

What I also love about the myriad of culture is the utensils!! =)

goshnan. something like lamb pie. yumm.

Lamb Kebabs.

everybody should definitely go there!!

We went back to Chinatown to get Emperor Cream Puffs, more egg tarts, more pork buns, and EasyWay to get bubble tea, as desserts. =)

T.T

we all went home happy and full, and contented. =)

Weeeeeee~!

Selamat Hari Raya!

Woke up at 6am in the morning, after only 4 hours of sleep (neighbours were making heck of the noise).

Then it was MASCA's first duty, to send people to go to the High Commission of Malaysia for sembahyang and feasting! =)
