One of the greatest night ever in Heidi considering how boring my life is in the suburban area of Mawson Lakes. Real shit boring living here. Believe me. I wanted to name the title as Booze + Food + Girls but I know I would be lying. It’s more of an award night, for those who represented the university in the recent university games. My name, apparently was on the team sheet for the South Australian Challenge. Although I wasn’t playing (I’m just a reserve and yes, I know, I suck at it), my team won. In fact, I’m not too sure whether they won it, all I know is my team made it to the final and for that, I’m awarded. Awesome!

The dinner plus party was held in Ed Castle on Currie. As usual, it was an Australian style party. A lot of booze and just a little bit of food. Bottomless booze. It was on all the uni’s tab. So, a lot of guys just hit the bar over and over again. Ok, I’m not a bad boy. I didn’t really drink that much. I guess the best part was having the opportunity to spend some time with my team mates outside the pitch or the locker room. Ran, Hugo, Susana, Donovan, David, Harry, Tak and Neil were there. Neil won the MVP award for the SA challenge futsal. I was even shocked when he won the MVP for table tennis. :0 I didn’t know he played table tennis. We even joked about starting a table tennis team with Neil as our coach.

Then, in the middle of the party, Dave just walked up a blonde and start chatting her up. Too bad, she has a boyfriend. Dave was pretty upset. haha. We cheered him on as he returns to our circle as if he scored a goal. He then told me to walk up a random chick of my choice and dared me to talk to her. “Great”! She wasn’t interested at all. It’s written all over her face but at least I tried and I have nothing to lose, they said. “Do you think Australian chicks dig Asian dudes?”, “propably not.”

By the way, my mechanical engineering project didn’t fail as predicted. Thank Goodness. It reached up to a metre. Wasn’t really great but at least it didn’t fail. I was really pleased by the fact that I didn’t have much assistant and time to finish it. I had to put in my own time, money and effort, no thanks to you guys.

I would like to end this blog post with a shout out to one of my closest coursemates in Adelaide, Norman. Happy belated birthday! Hope you had a great one this year. Below are some of yesterday night’s picture. I’m not a camwhore but at least my parents (their favourtie passtime is watching my weight) get to know whether I did put on an extra kilos.

Tak, Susana, me, David, Ran, Harry, Don and Neil

Cheers, Don!

post – script : Ozzies love to drink. You cannot believe how many cups some of the other award winners drank.

I’m drank responsibly,
