International Night

International Night.
The night for all internationals here in Lincoln College. A night where we get to taste delicacies from different countries. A night where we get to see performances from the different cultures that live here. A night where we get to see different costumes from different nationalities. And one of the few events with no alchohol.

On Friday, the decorations and the food had to be prepared before hand. Lots of hard work making wantans, sambal prawns, pandan chicken and etc. Its really exciting and motivating because its one of the few nights we get to eat real asian food, that is asian food cooked by asians. Sing Yew was the man behind the cooking scene. And other chefs as well. Joanna was behind all the decos. She worked very hard and I know cause I was part of both cooking and deco team.


This is me in the traditional China man suit. Its International Night right ? No I do not wear this to Uni. This is Megan btw.


Me and Elaine. Note that you dont have to wear the traditional dress of your own race. Chinese wearing Indian is fine.


That is the stage. Chloe and Ria had an bad accident and are both in the hospital. Which would explain the sign. The banner was hand made by Joanna. Which would probably have taken me a few years to complete.

Some people doing a traditional dance.


Chinese wearing Malay. I forgot the name of the dress. This is Adeline. Beside me in my macho post.


Yep, we have a Singaporean community here too. Nice people they are........ but
Dont trust them because they will sabotage you................ as you can clearly see here

This is the cooking team. I just wrapped wantans and washed stuff. The part which needs less skills. But its still important.


1st years : Me, Tien Li, Jasmine, Jovina and Ryan also known as the permanent residents of Ryan's room. Except me. Im not. That's why im not doing the kissing.


They said I looked like Jay Chow.............or some kungfu master. THis is Joanna btw.

The Malaysian DoTA Team of Lincoln. Yes, we thrashed the Australian team.

And last but not least, me and Gan, who I like to irritate with my yo yo rap antics.

Overall it was a good night. Pleasant atmosphere, good performances, great food. Yes, I suck at adjectives, but you get the point.

Back to studies now. But theres still hands and bucks pub crawl. Then we go to final exams. Stress.............

Will power

Darn, I have been unfaithful to my blog. So sorry guys. Just that I was crammed up with assignments and stuff.............stupid work load. It was all my fault anyway. Imagine being all on your own unsupervised by anyone. Which would result in a great deal of procrastination and lazyness. Everything can wait. Until it can't. Assignments have due date. So I wasted the whole of my holidays lazing aroung doing almost nothing. And I'm rushing in the weeks to come to finish my assignments.

But great thing is that after its done, there's a feeling of great relief. Just like a giant burden lifted off your shoulders. I guess it could be a metaphor for Christianity. The burden of sin just lifeted up for us.

I guess I would not have regular visitors to my blog now. Since Im not really updating it. I have this really bad habit of saying I'm going to be good : eg. Exercise, study hard, quit dota, read books, write new songs, improve my guitar skills, concentrate more on God................... but always end up doing idle stuff like taking naps, playing computer games, dreaming, or playing the same old thing on my guitar day in day out. Like I'm stuck. In this never ending cycle of idleness that makes me the same and never improving. And then there are the new years resolutions, where u say youre gonna change but it only lasts for a week. And then u say screw it and go back to wasting time. Sighhhh.............. i need some will power. Exams are coming.

I need to study.
I need to study.
I need to study.
I need to study.
I need to study.
I need to study.
I need to study.
I need to study.
I need to study.
I need to study.
I need to study.
I need to study.
I need to study.
I need to study.

This are the number of times I need to type I need to study with my eyes close. Damn, my typing is bad. IN other words, exams r coming. Time to get serious. Im done with assignments and stuff. So its time to study. Instead of wasting time. No DoTA. lol.........i dunno how long I'll tahan, but I'll try. my best.
