Well well.. this things was well publized in the village for about 2 weeks... community has been asking people to sign up to cook a cultural dish down and enjoy the evening of food and activities planned and of coz, to meet people from all over the world...

At 1st, i din intend to join at all... well, lazy to cook, really... cooking is really troublesome... especially u are required to cook ur own v unique cultural dish... =.=" come on... wad is unique from Hong Kong that is EaSy to cook!? instant noodles? instand dimsum i guess... but then it would defeat the entire purpose of multicultural day... the day for not only other to learn about your culture, but to remind urself of ur own origin and practise ur tradition - gosh.. sound so like governemnt saying that "we must preserve our own uniqueness and cultural trandition!" *diaoz... too much NE from sg*

Then my buddy in this kumpong - the sotong on the 5th floor was saying that as long as we help out for flag painting and stuff we can EAT for FREE... please note the word "eat" and "free", who wouldn't want that? haha, and food incentive works best for me... so sat after shopping from Central Market and straight away went down to help painting.... abit here and there... coz there weren't much flags left not painted.. (i was kind of late... but that sotong was even later... hmpt! tell me come down so early to paint and she slowly come down from 5th floor... this prove that 8 or more legs doesn't help much... synapse is the speed limiting factor.. ha =p) anway... after painting... well.. the dog got paint everywhere also... paws and legs... then, the community really knows how to make full use of volunteers, ask us to cut stickers... but of coz we are willing to help coz we din do much anyway.. and it was an easy task... just move ur fingers to get it done.. and Done! *i tot so too* Just as we tot that we are done - accumulated enuff credits for free food on sunday... one of the helper reminded us that we HAVE to cook a dish to come down for the party.

FinE!... coz the sotong and I were worried and for dunno wad reason we worried... we ended up run out of the kumpong to buy ingredients to cook for multicultural day... red bean puff...

BiG MISTAKES man.... coz ended up i cooked most of the stuff.... boiled the red bean. made the paste.. til 4am on sunday, got woken around 9+ >.<>.<>

The tok was.. short and crappy? everytok is crappy anway... and the feast started... ate alot! hunted down alot of food... thailand noodle salad, tea leaves eggs, sushi, muffins, INSTANT wanton (there are actually people to bring that out .. gosh) bee hoon soup, korean babie....etc.... and amazing our red bean puff was "sold out" quickly... one of the fastest to be gone! Charise down here was really happy... at least, the hard work was pay off.

The rest of the multicultural day is just like multi-racial day back in sch... quiz time, then best dress and best dish award... stuff like that... i ran off half way to rest and start work... see my schedule below and u will know... all thanks to such stupid decision of joining the 'party' i lost my time for working on my tests, pract, hw and EXAM!!!! the dog was kind of pissed off... but then it was a "food-filling" day.

With sleepy monday coming around in the corner.
