Malaysian dinner

Well, the Malaysian food was a success. There was nasi lemak, nasi briyani, maggi goreng, roti canai, chocolate cake, ondeh-ondeh and sago dessert. These were the food that I tried and it didn't cost me more than $6. The pricing was cheap for Australia, the rice going for $3, the ondeh-ondeh $1 for 4 and 50 cents for each piece of cake or cup of sago. Of course the food are quite cheap to prepare but it was wonderful to taste real chilli again. Yum yum...I must say that the standard of the food was pretty high, considering that they were prepared by students. Watching the people help out at the stalls made me wish I was part of them. I guess I miss being part of a club or society where I could help out with organising an event and watching the success of the event.

I actually intended to just purchase the food and go home and enjoy the food in the comfort pf my own home. In the end, I sat down over there with 3 other girls, Steph, Olivia and Debbie. Of course Steph was a pleasure to be with and surprisingly, Olivia was pretty nice to talk to too. Debbie, on the other hand, was not so nice. I didn't enjoy her company at all. Somehow I feel that she is the kind of girl who is quite self-opinionated and from the way she talks, seems to care only about herself and her own ideas. When Olivia commented about the cheapness of the food, the way she explained how cheap flour and other stuff was....it just felt like she was indicating that common sense could have told you that and you were an idiot for not knowing. I definitely do not like her and I have never liked her since the day I first met her when Steph introduced her to me. When Debbie said that Steph and her were supposed to be housemates, I balked and thanked God that it didn't happen. Imagine me staying in the same house as this girl!!!

Perhaps something to cheer me up is the fact that Crystal most probably will be moving over to Bishop Tower next semester. I do like Crystal and she is fun to talk to.

We received a letter from the management stating that the electrical bill for our place had gone up because of the overuse of the heaters since winter has started. Heh....I haven't had to use the heater yet so I guess I'm not one of the guilty individuals. The letter also stated that the fans in our rooms had a switch to change the function from "winter" to "summer" or vice versa. Then I realised why my fan never seemed strong enough especially during the winter. My fan had been on winter settings all along where the fan generates warm wind. Well, I've switched it over to the summer mode now and I've been loving it since. At least I can finally feel the breeze from the fan now. It's almost like I have a brand new fan!!!
