Floor Formal 2003

~Love Mum, Dad and Sis always~

Last night was a blast! It was another one of those hanging-out-with-my-floormates event. The girls were all pretty in their dresses and even the guys dressed up to the nines. Taking pictures were everyone's main goal that night. However, my battery ran out fast. So, I could not take lots of photos. How unfortunate u_u

We were out there in the chilly night with our pretty dresses and jeans/sweatpants to avoid freezing. Some of the girls did not change to running shoes and walked out in the cold with their high heels when IT WAS -25 DEGREES CELCIUS! I couldn't feel my ankles even though I was wearing jeans and running shoes. The girls who wore high heels could barely feel their toes! At the subway, it was a funny scene as we girls were taking off our pants and changing from running shoes to high heels. Everyone on the subway had their eyes on us. When we arrived at the Westin Hotel, we decided to stay at the lounge for a while and chill out with some alcohol and cocktails.

We had dinner at the Japanese Village, which was located across the road from Westin Hotel. The food was nothing fantastic. I would say it was not pure japanese food. They only served teriyaki steak, chicken and shrimp. Nothing very japanese in my opinion ^^. It was teppanyaki style. The chef cooked in front of us, showing us his great skill of handling knives. A very entertaining dinner indeed! We even discovered that he works for the university! He told us that he was in charge of setting up the databases at our school's library. What a coincidence ^^ After dinner, we took pictures again. That reminds me of the pictures I should get from other people's digital camera >_<

We returned to the floor and partied comfortably there. They made punch (with alcohol again) to drink. They can't survive without alcohol. Every occasion is alcohol-based and the number one thing to do if you're cool is to get drunk. So, there was loud music, fun games, crazy people...you basically can figure out the rest of it. Oh well. I couldn't drink much. After having that punch, I started to feel itchy again all over. I'm thinking I have the same effects that alcohol has on my dad. He gets all itchy when he drinks too much beer. I get itchy all over too after drinking. I only realized this after starting some social drinking here. Well, it's not that bad though. Come to think of it, this can be a good excuse to get away from drinking alcohol crazily with these people.

Although, I had fun and my white friends were pretty friendly during this occasion, it does not last long. The next morning they do not greet you like before. They still judge us as usual by our colour and our cultures. Last night, Brenda and I sat beside two white guys on our floor. They were pretty friendly. When one girl came to take a picture of us at the table, she said to them, "You guys are stuck with these girls the whole time". So, she's implying that they all pity them because they have to hang out with these two Asian girls. Oh well. Discrimination and racism still holds strong in their hearts. It's just too bad I have to bear seeing them all the time and not say anything about their bitchy ways or their silly mindset that drinking is a way to socialize. Well, I won't say much anymore. I've got a lab exam tomorrow at 8 am. Here are two pictures from last night's event. As usual, there are more at the link PICTURES .

All-girls picture!

about me

Home: KL, Malaysia
School: U of A

I am someone who frets a lot - I call it a psychological disorder. I am constantly trying to escape my complex mind which, very often, drives me and my close companions to the edge of insanity. Born under the sun star Libra, I am greatly affected by a disease called "indecisiveness". Nicknames were never part of my dictionary until I met some people who decided to name me "turtle". Soon, I was representing a zoo of hamsters, "sotongs", pigs, cats, etc...
