I realized that I did not put up anything about my friends here. No photos, no stories. random people reading this blog may think that i am friendless, geeky, uncool, emo, loner, strange etc. But you all should know it is completely untrue. I am kind of cool, ok i am really cool. I am not friendless ok!! These few ulu looking people are my friends!! They are a bunch of really nice people. I mix with them in school during classes etc. We took the first photo while waiting for bus at a bus stop outside DFO. In case you are wondering why people are sitting down on the floor? The reason is that the bus stop does not have seats. Basically, it does not have anything. I can’t even recognize that as a bus stop. There was just a small board out of nowhere. And we waited for 45 minutes. Well, kind of fun and interesting in an optimistic way.

We took the second photo today! We made burrito for dinner. It was quite fun. From the photo, you probably can't tell that they are a bunch of really short people, but still really nice. I have to emphasize. Wait they don't chope seat fro me in lecture. They are a constant pleasant reminder that i am tall. Given that i have to face unusually tall people around everyday and it makes me feel short. I saw a guy whose waist was at my chest. I swear his legs alone are taller than nadya, yating. you get what i mean.

I mentioned that I went for a hall commencement dinner in my previous post. My senior resident told me that the dress code is formal. I bought a pair of shoes to go with my business wear as he told me I need it. I was a little reluctant but bought it anyway. I have a tie so I guess that’s quite formal. In Singapore, business wear is considered really formal. Remember during O week, we went for something which requires formal wear and I don’t see anybody wearing tie. So I was contemplating whether to wear tie . Cause it’s kind of paiseh to over dress. I got a shocked when I went down thinking I look smart and tidy and cool. Almost all the guys were in suits! Their suits came in various designs. I lost! I should have known that was coming. I should have prepared my james bond suit for Australia. I felt cheated. I decided not to wear a tie to make it seemed that I was not competing with them. So guess I was the most casual smart guy during the dinner. Oh, the girls were mostly in gowns and high heels. It was quite oscar-like.

This was the entrance to the dinner venue. Oh, it was at the national museum of Australia and hyatt was the caterer. So can imagine it's quite high class right! Free flow beer and wine. Oh, the whole thing was free btw.

Here are photos of my hall friends. They stay near my room. Oh the Australian guy in suit is my senior resident. Something like ogl . He stays 2 doors down and he’s a really nice guy.

So I am not friendless ok. Don’t get the wrong idea. I am still as popular as usual. yaY.
