CNY EVE

This is long overdue....

We have a terrific reunion dinner, or i should say an international dinner at Spoletorp on the CNY eve. We didnt really have much chinese friends over here and we haven been in contact with the rest of the spore students. Therefore, Stefanie(nus) and me decided that we should invite our flatmates to celebrate this dinner with us. And our flat mates just invited their own groups of friends, and we also invited our own group of friends, and this is what happened...

2 tables combined. So guess the number of ppl.

17 people. Yvonna, Gratta (HK), Stefanie, Kellie, Tom, Me (Sin), Thomas, Phillipp, Phillipp's gf, Flitz(Ger), Simone, Christoph(Austria), Asami, Manaka(Jap), Asami's bf(swe), Suwei(Australia), Sarka(Czech)

so our reunion dinner an international dinner. But it was really great cos we got to try dishes from all over the world.
And it is the best time to understand one's another culture. I learnt that angmoh dislike bean stuffs. Cos one of the chinese cooked red bean soup. I thought it was good. It is so typical among asians, but generally all the ang moh found it werid. And they loved chicken curry and bak ku teh.

Thomas came up with this stupid idea. He wanted us to sing him some CNY songs. So we told him that it is not our tradition to sing CNY songs. (This is true ok! Tell me when was the last time you sang a CNY song.) He was so persistent and wanted me to teach him sing a song. I gave up and taught him the 恭喜,恭喜。 And christoph joined in after a while.
And at 12 midnight, the 2 angmohs and together with their 师父entertained the rest with the song.

I guess this shall be one of my most memorable cny dinner.
