I Danced Today!!!

13th Feb 2007 (Tues)


Did Scavenger Hunt today. It was fun. So many crazy stuffs we did. For instance,

We took pictures with a bearded man. We accumulate points by doing many other crazy stuffs like taking picture with postman, three policemen, and buildings named after a place.

Saw this notice during the Scavenger Hunt. Reminded me Russell Peters. "Be a man. Do the right thing!"

There was a carnival in ANU as well. Joined this bull ride for the first time. Stood a chance to win a plama tv. Yes, plama tv. Afiq stayed 38 seconds on the bull while I recorded 57seconds. I was given applause after I was done. "Good try!" So nice. Unfortunately, I was 10 seconds behind the leader. But I created a technique to stay longer on the bull which was later being used by other participants =p

Alex, Man Yee, Weng Harn with their Cotton Candies. It was free of charge.

Took a picture with a Mac computer. At last, I saw Mac Book for the first time after Merlin promoted it in his blog. Mac has a booth in that carnival so we've decided to experiment it by taking this picture. I am the one in the middle with the mouth wide opened. Haha.

Another picture.

At night, I had another superb moment. It overshadowed the Scavenger Hunt as the highlight of the day which explains why the title was named after it. There were two events held simultaneously in ANU: Bbq dinner & Bush dance (organized by ANU) and a sports session(organized by Ursula Hall). Since I wanted to avoid bbq(I am heaty), I didn't register for the dinner and opted for the sports session.

I was on the way to the sports unit when Afiq called.

Afiq: Yeam, aren't you coming?
Me: Well, i might drop by for a while to see what's it like over there. But can I come without a ticket? I didn't register for it.
Afiq: Yeah, they didn't check. Just come.

Thanks to this call, I went to the dinner. I didn't eat anything since I've had dinner. But I danced!!! Felt so shy at first. Sze Huey, Eriziana, Afiq, and Sze Huey danced. During the second round of dancing, I became braver and asked Carol to dance. Well, halfway through, when we exchanged partners, I ended up having no partner. It must be some guy who suddenly came into the circle. I went back to seat. Dejected a bit, yes, but I had fun before that at least. Another nice thing about attending the dinner was that I get to meet up with friends from John Hall and other Malaysian friends.

Thanks for calling me again, Afiq =D

Oh, there were two things I forgot to blog about a few days ago. Thanks to Sze Ching's comment, I remember one of them now. In Canberra, I introduced myself as Yeam, not Jimmy simply because it's a good way of letting the people know about the existence of Yeam as a Chinese surname. Yes, I know Jimmy is easier to remember. You don't have to face the hassle of repeating your name when they say, "What?" after you introduced yourself. But still, I insist. I feel so happy each time they pronnounce Yeam correctly.

Second thing, to mum and ken jin, I found my lipgloss during my first day here. It was in the same plastic bag as the vitamins. Ken Jin's mum bought me another one when I couldn't find the previous one. Now, I have two. Haha..

Alright, that's all for now. Sorry for lack of pictures during the bush dance. Didn't bring my camera cause I intended to go sporting instead initially. I wore a three quarter pant into the dinner. How weird I looked! "You just woke up?" someone asked me. But that was mainly caused by my hair. They haven't got used to seeing me without my cab.

Okay, thanks for reading!
