Me&Rosalind...Dom's sister..surprise surprise..! This photo was taken relatively early during the night..


5 hours and copious amounts of red wine later...


Matthew Chan...person responsible for the spamming of mail inboxes with SUAMS newsletters..also a member of Table 10.

It was a fairly entertaining night...there were Bollywood-style song and dance routines set-up by the various Malaysian societies' committee members, a 'beauty pageant' which relatively involved 10 rather (un)fortunate individuals get hauled up, shake their booty to the crowd, do a prancing catwalk and humiliate themselves utterly by answering 'intelligent' questions set by the emcee of the night...e.g. "You are at a formal dinner and you need to fart. What would you do?" hhmm...the answer's obvious isn't it?

and in due accordance and respect to Malaysia, the infamous Malaysian-time prevailed..i believe that the organisers made a mistake of stating whether or not the '6.30pm' time written on the card was relative to Sydney-time or KL-time...because everything kicked off only at 8.30pm... *sigh* how nice...and the 2-hour time difference between here and home definitely helps.

of course, the alcohol made everything seem much better. and the food was great too..i should've taken pictures of it..aih..well..no point in regretting.

overall, i would give it a 7/10.

as an aside, i'd just like to state that for the first time in 19 years, i've only got 4 hours of sleep last night, woke up for badminton this morning at 8, survived a massive traffic jam at Parramatta, watched 2 anime movies from Studio Ghibli..i'm impressed, i thought i'd have conked out by now..but evidently i'm still going strong..it's already 11.09 pm now..i amaze myself sometimes...of course, having blurry tunnel vision and vague buzzing noises in the upper-head region is another totally different and unrelated thing.

and another thing, someone told me that i was being rather insensitive when i said 'fcuking Aryans' in one of my previous posts...i admit, i think he's right. therefore i'm out to make amends now...i'm sorry if, at the heat of the moment, i grouped ALL Aryans into the same category as those 4...i should i have put 'fcuking 4 Aryans that i met while walking up Pitt Street'... don't hate me...i'm all for holding hands and twining flowers in each other's hair and singing folk songs around a campfair and ala the great John Lennon, Make Love Not War..

but if you're rescist, no matter what you are...Shame On You...

OOkkaaayy...side effect #2 of lack of sleep...incessant rambling.

[p.s. this post was originally written last night but something was wrong with Blogspot...hence it could only be published today...and yes, i've got my full 10 hours of sleep now...]
