African style~

Monday. We can always get sick of Mondays! Long day and again I dosed off in class during the last lecture! Common! LOL! Anyway, today was a little different. We were invited by one of our group members, Aishah to a Birthday Surprise party at the Student's Forum right after lectures. She asked us to come in for a bit to experience a African party. And we did! It was really fun! She told us to be there at 5.45pm and we where the first guests to arrive. We did not bring anything for the 19th Birthday Girl, Winnie and so we decided to help out on decorating the place. We blew countless balloons and my lips were white by the time I finished blowing the last one! We expected Winnie to come in around 6.15pm but we waited till a little past 6.30pm and she was really surprised! She was even crying! Sweet!

We were busy popping party poppers when she came in. The best part of all, we had free dinner! >.< provided ="p" style="font-size:130%;">African food...fried rice and two different types of spiced chicken! Fantabulous! When we were digging in, Aishah and Co. realized they forgot the plastic cutlery! They say they're fine with using hands as it is the African style but they were pretty concerned about the only 3 China girls (us)!!! LOL! We assure them that we are fine and we ate...Malay style! Guna tangan! LOL! The pool table was filled with snacks: UK Mr. Potato Chips, UK Roller coaster chips, Cadbury fingers, Cheese flavoured biscuits, Sweets, Lollies, the Birthday cake (chocolate!!!) and last but not least, Gummies! Yes, we tried all of them! LOL! We also had Non-alcoholic fruit wine. It tasted 100% like Sparkling Ribena!

The whole time we stood near the pool table...keeping our hands and mouth busy!!! I was seriously stuffed! Never ate so much chips for a loooooong time =) We were forced to dance by the African girls too! LOL! A bubbly girl, Ester didn't allow us to leave until we did the 'lift-your-leg, raise-your-hands' move =S It was really a nice experience. There were only like 15 people (only two guys) so it is not a HUGE party.

"Come on you guys, dance!!!"

"We can't dance!"

"I can't dance too! I just go wild like this...(shakes....A LOT!!!)"

Us: Smile/laugh shyly...

"I hope you're not laughing at me!!!"

"NOOOOooo!"

Us: Forced to...*sway left and right*!!! BWahahahha!

By the way, it's all RnB music...so it is not that hard to dance along. Imagine if it was a cultural party...*Imagination runs wild*! Sorry but no pictures this time =( I didn't bring my phone out. Will try to get the group picture from Aishah ASAP =) Owh!!! Also, I got a job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
