i am me

yesterday was Australia Day. which is equivalent to our Merdeka Day back home and the whole bunch of us went to Southbank, aka the happening place to be during Australia Day to get some well deserved fun.




that's soo yi and me



had dinner of fish and chips on the grass. as you all can see, i'm super tanned. no thanks to the really hot hot sun here.



su-ann, me, ying wei and soo yi





FIREWORKS! really nice ones. but the gunpowder smell clung to us the rest of the night.



su-ann and i in front of the SunCorp Piazza where they had free concerts for Australia Day



they had street salsa dancing here. tried my legs at it. was completely hopeless.

so...we spent the evening watching the fireworks and emersing ourselves in the culture and flea market and merriment. later on we went to watch 'Miss Potter' in the IMAX cinema where tickets only cost 5.70 for students. cute show.

there were random people coming up to us and saying 'happy aussie day!' and we'd be like..'oh..happy aussie day' and when they'd pass i'd go....MERDEKA! hahaha...a bit of malaysian lameness.

and yes, yin, there were plenty of hot guys going around without their shirts on. but they were all high schoolers. the older ones were too drunk to even stand up straight.

sadly, it's only this fun and happening on friday nights. i'm here in soo yi's place again tonight, which is a saturday night and the place is silent. absolutely silent. i am SO not used to this.
