Sunshine in Mayfair

Long long time ago, there was a gal who managed to buy Mayfair and Parklane. And she became so rich, only later to be called the champion - and twice too, mind you! Hehehehehe, nah, that can happen if I am super filthy rich, dream on mate. On the Monopoly board game -- yeah, that I did. And me being me, was bragging about my 2 winnings and thus dubbed the others into titles like, Lolly - the most bankcrupt, Dain - the 2nd most bankcrupt and Jane - the loser. So bad of me huh -- berlagak aje :P. Anyway, after winning the game twice in 2 consecutive nights, Dain made his pile 2 nights ago. And did you know how they celebrate the occasion? With much delight and bullying too. Hahahahahaha, they were teasing me like mad and Dain even recorded that. So I became "the gal who couldn't accept lost". That's right - I LOST. LOL, but I had a lot of good time with Evil No. 1@ The Initiator (ie. to my losing), Evil No. 2@ The Culprit and King Evil --> the most evil of all :P:P:P:P:P and me??? Of course, sure enough they were just too happy to label me THE LOSER, huhuhuhuhu. But I really had a lot of fun.

And hey, we had our first flat dinner too. Everybody was present but the dinner was a quiet one. Dain, Lolly and myself in the non-Cantonese speaking group, while Owan, Leo and Janet belong to the Cantonese speaking group. Leo was exceptionally quiet, concentrating on the food maybe. Dain was busy with his camera and so was Leo -- initially. Lolly and Owan were - as usual - outdoing each other at the IQ questions that Jane posed. And I had to say that Owan really really need to watch his language. Ironically, you should try listening to how he speaks to Jane, so soft, so sweet, so nice, so polite, so careful. Hahahahahahaha, maybe he likes Jane, jangan marah ye Jane. And me, was just enjoying the meal, and trying to keep Lolly from losing much temper (from under the table). Jane and I prepared the spaghetti and the meehoon. Dain prepared a dish from Mauritius - Rougaille or Sauce Creole - with meat and a lot of tomatoes. It was really nice, even to be taken with pasta or rice. And Super Lolly prepared her famous potato salad - that was also yummy. And we also had some rockmelons. That was also the night that I became the Loser :P:P, must be the food LOL

Last week was also a week of socialising and formal outings. The PM of Malaysia was in town and my friends and I were among the invited students to attend both ceremonies. I went with Woon, K. Yuss and Aisyah. 2 pairs of baju kurung were used for both events, and my mom said I was on TV. Hahahahahaha, very clearly seen on the news that even Uncle Rada and Uncle Bala called my dad to let him know. Several photo shoots were also taken during the session in Hyatt Regency and at the Prime Ministerial Library. Budak2 UWA, aisey -- sibuk je bergambar sekali, hehehehe. Tak pe la kan, sekali sekala. I felt so proud to have sung Negaraku in an OZ lecture theatre. Lain rasanya, tak tau nak describe macamana. I suppose, when you are far away from your country, you tend to appreaciate it more. I got to shake hand with the CM of Melaka too, and even congratulated him on the development in Melaka. Man, was he very happy to hear that ;) Jenuh melaram dgn baju kurung in the city, lepas tu, K. Yuss and I gi jejalan in the campus as they were having Orientation Week punya exhibition for the new students. Ada byk booth jugak of all the clubs and societies available on campus. I missed 2 other get-together events organised by the uni sbb letih, hehehehe. Apa lagi ye ... haaaaa, the best one was when Chris called to tell me the good news. The committee had reviewed my work and had agreed for me to proceed with no changes to be done. He congratulated me and was pleased with that too. I was relieved and trust me, it was the news that I have been waiting for the past couple of weeks. Alhamdullillah, semoga Tuhan permudahkan perjalanan ku di sini. Amin.
