A Week and an Update

My poor abandoned blog, I'm sorry! I've been working hard, honest!
I attended a networking/Melbourne Uni Commerce Alumni event last night and it struck me that
a) everyone there was in the corporate world (i.e. working)
b) that even though they looked posh in their suits, ultimately, i could imagine them all as uni students.
c) that in the end, we are all just trying to act grown up but i could sort of detect that some things never change. (we remain just as eager to cover up just how little we know)

Had a conversation with Kee Hong, CC and Ken earlier in the day when we talked about work (cos it's impending!) and Kee said why do we need to wear suits? Such a hassle, can't we just work in casual clothes and then dress up when we need to?
Well, Kee. It's just to impress everyone and to fool yourself into thinking you are a grown up after all. Skived off work today and the thing that annoyed me the most was that I was all dressed for work but too lazy to go there. Haha.. So naughty.
But yeah, the clothing makes a difference Kee! The whole thing's a performance anyway.

What else happened? Went for Sahur with Omar, Kee Win, Dilshad, Rahul and a bunch of Muslim students on Saturday morning. (that's right. 4 am in the morning)
It was an experience! I don't know if i could stand to fast all day. It's about 14 hours without food and water. Wow. I'm hungry after about 5 hours. And this is during the day when you have to be up and about too! I respect you guys for being able to do it. *kowtow in awe*
Fun though! And Afghan kebabs are pretty yummilicious!

Lunch with Harvard a few hours later was a good laugh, as always. Perhaps, if i remember, I should share Harvard's Parenting Methods. Interesting, traumatising and possibly illegal. Said farewell to Kee Win that day too (Jin Jin's birthday!) but i know i'll see him soon enough (good luck in vietnam!)

Went to a salsa club for the first time ever that night! Wow, there are SO many sleazy men there. I love the music better than clubbing music though. Something you can shake your hips to (and goodness knows i have no shortage of hips). Wouldn't mind going back, but with sufficient dance partners and also bodyguards! heels that don't kill as much would be helpful too.

Caught up with Tas on Sunday when we had a cooking session / movies. I learned that i cannot cook while watching a movie. Haha.. left out the important spices. *silly me* but edible nonetheless. 3 movies, 2 bottles of wine (1 each!) and much cheese and crackers later, had to sit down and do final editing of my essay. So naughty! But done and surprisingly not tipsy either.

Quick recap done, not like anyone really is interested in these things. A week after the whole marriage stuff and it's Valedicts tomorrow! Finally! I'm not really looking forward to it. More like a 'it's-been-a-long-time-coming' feeling and 'i-hope-it-all-runs-smoothly'. Really, i do! Here's to getting smashed, picking up (for Rahul - and don't get gland!), and generally having a good time - and waking up at 9 am for my 10 am meeting the next day! Whee!

Surely a photo-taking event. =)
