La Semaine Asiatique

Not wanting to sound like a black, this week, it's all about "REPRESENT"ing who we are as we kick off La Semaine Asiatique (or Asia week in English). And it was a damn good period for holding this event as well because the weather is just nice, everyday it's over 10degree and Flowers....

are....

BLOOMING!!! These trees are all filled with flowers!! Who can not be happy when its Spring!? Anyway, like i said in the previous post, there was to be a Singapore booth on Wednesday and somehow, just somehow, i sort of became the unofficial "leader" of the team.... Sundeep did the exhibition slides, Eric did the picture slideshow, the girls sewed the 5 stones bags and i did the cooking!!!

Quite a few pple came to play the 5 stones... this is Ale trying it out.... it's not as easy as they think it'd be

here they are, yes Siwei, perfect thetrahedrals... and if u notice well enuff, the cloth is actually those rags u can find in spore ahaha!

the exhibition space... spiced it up with a Singapore Flag that Derek lent us

Tytti giving the "is-this-edible" face.... yeah, i admit... too much green bean and no soup. It turned out to be more like a paste... but the Bak Kut Teh rocked! hahaha esp when u drink it during cold weather.

The koreans provided free name translating service which was quite a hit and also these costumes.... someone was obviously a "Da Chang Jing" fan to own so many traditional costumes...

Dance Dance Revolution is soooooo last millenium... this french pple should seriously check out whats new.... they should at least have ParaPara, no? whahaha

trying their damnest to sell fried noodles and sushi... apparently it wasnt that good. One china fren told me she bought the sushi and the rice wasnt cooked right.... looks like the french have interpreted perhaps too literally when they thought japanese like their food raw...

There wasnt as many pple as we hoped as the location was some god forsaken place.... but it was ok....

At nite, they screened Infernal Affairs and it was really really strange to be watching a HongKong film IN Cantonese WITH french subtitles... luckily i sort of watched it before so i could roughly guess what's going on.... i forgot how Chinese Cinema can still wow me sometimes.... even though they produce more crap than good stuff these days.

random picture of what i ate last sunday.... looks quite good right?? hahah finally i got to COOK something here.... when i look at other pple who are doing exchange they are always showing the food they cooked.... But me, i learnt NOTHING, except this.

School is surprisingly getting more tolerable... i could actually catch what the prof is saying and write down some notes! wahwahwah. And the phobia of going to tutorials are diminishing so all is good now....

On a lighter note, i am going to Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Bratislava and Budapest with Rongwei and co this Easter holidays!!! Woots!! 2 weeks holiday in 3 weeks time!! CAN'T. WAIT.
