Memories~ Jun ~ Chaiko~: House Warming Party + Poh Shens Bday

hey guys.. its been a long time since i have blogged.. i seem to be busier this year compared to last year eventhough i live alot closer to campus this year =/ less time spent on my laptop chatting, webcamming, surfing the net and playing games.
it must be the new changes to my timetable. i have decided to make full use of my time in uni by trying out new things that i will not be able to do in brunei. experiences~

Muay Thai Kickboxing on wednesdays - very enjoyable. it is a real workout!
Ballroom Dancing on thursdays - what a way to end my thursday lectures with dance from 7-8pm.
Badminton with Msoc on friday - well, i havent been to any of the sessions so far because of the nottingham game training they are having now.
Gyming on Mondays and friday - i need to get fit...
First Aid Skills (soon) -this will allow me to go to EPL matches for arsenal, chelsea n tottenham n other sporting events if i attend the sessions.

On top of all that, i have got 2nd year of mech eng to study plus all the tutorial sheets to do! so far, im coping with the heavy workload (fingers crossed~). This pump design project that is due next friday is a killer.. my group is so behind now.. we need to catch-up. Only way is to go to college on Sundays~ well thats the plan we have.. ohh dear~ hope this turns out good.

Anyways, to the more exciting part of my life.. The 5 at 4 held a house-warming party at our new accomodation.. it was a great success.. we had loads of fun preparing food.. eventhough i woke up at 10:30am n was literally in the kitchen preparing n cooking till 7pm with the rest of the lads. We had been preparing this house-warming party for around a week, deciding on the menu n the number of people to invite... the figure turned out to be around 20ish+?

Whats on the menu u would ask when there are 5 guys planning it...

Short-bread with fillings (tuna, sweetcorn n chicken) as starters
Curry Chicken
Cheesy Mushroom Bacon Baguette
Sambal Prawns
Carbonara spaghetti
Eggtart as desserts

The menu was going to include other dishes such as potato salad, salad, fried vegetables but we decided what we have prepared was more than enough...

Enough said, i shall let the pictures do some of the talking..
