This week, there's this Festival of Nations in uni. This is where students from different organisations will set up stalls selling food. And then, there's cultural performances on stage. All these for two days. Being a commitee member of IESS (short abbreviation for Intn'l Engineering Students Society), I had to help out with our stall.
Most of us in IESS are Malaysians, hence, we were selling Beef Rendang with mantao, pisang goreng & lemongrass chicken drummetts. Haha, it was actually quite fun, standing there deep-drying the chicken while people walk past our stall. Like as if I can cook that well. But, the IESS ppl marinated it quite nicely, so it was pretty yummy.
This club called MOMU (Msians of Melb Uni) sold kuih-muih's, Thai club sold Pad Thai, HK association sold French toast, then Sgporean ppl sold their Sgpore fried meehoon. I think some other clubs sold their individual country's food. I didn't really walk around much. I remembered there was satay too. And some korean and indonesian food, Chinese longan/cincau/grass jelly/sea coconut/etc dessert drink, nasi lemak, tau fu fah, Lok-loks(famous in KL) and others.
Anyway.. performances include hip-hop dance, breakdancing(from this newly-set-up breakdancing club), wu shu, bollywood dance, and my favorite, the Taiko Drummers (wah, reminds me of the arcade game man, where u hit the big Japanese drum).
I also went to two uni students' theatre shows during the last two weeks. One's a musical and another's a theatre performance. Both are in Chinese..haha, sometimes I still need to look at the subtitles provided on a screen above the stage.
Now, time for some random-ness:
A very pretty and Renaissance-era-looking chandelier I noticed at a chocolate
One day, during the holidays, which was damn long ago, in June or July, Teo and I decided to go to this tourist place, called the Shrine of Rememberance. According to their website, it is a place:
"In remembrance of those who served and those who died in the Great War of 1914-1918 and armed conflicts and peacekeeping duties since."
Out of nowhere, these geese/swans came out, walking freely in the park. So odd.
Well, maybe they're meant to be out and about.
This post has taken me hours to finish. Gone are my studying time. :-(
Anyway.. I really feel like posting ski trip pics. But it's gonna take another few hours, I presume. So next time, folks.
