Hahahahah that's Yurina going crazy. She was the best drinker of the night, downing 6 or 7 bottles before we headed off to another party. She rocks. Japanese girls are the best.

I had one of THE BEST NIGHTS SO FAR in New Zealand. Actually it was THE BEST house party night. We had 2 house parties in one night. Asian Night first in my cottage and another one down at the usual Helena Road where almost every exchange student was at.

Anyways, I freakin enjoyed Asian Night so much. What would you do without Asians seriously. And everyone else enjoyed it so much that we're all looking forward to our next Asian Fiesta! All thinking about what to cook next already... it was so freakin awesome COZ YOU KNOW WHY?




I'VE NEVER HAD SO MUCH ASIAN FOOD ALL IN ONE TABLE IN MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!

It was amazing I swear. And we ate till we were bursting at the seams. Quite literally coz people were unbuckling their belts and stuff. All of us fatties. We were also eating like steam trains and at a buffet coz we wanted to try EVERYTHINGGG so we were eating really fast. Ouch stomach, ouch.

And mannn the company was awesome as well. Asians truly are awesome. I must say that there's so much familiarity when I interact with Asians. We understandddd each other. ANDDDD I don't feel threatened by their need or desire for sex. I mean seriously, when I talk to angmohs, all I feel is their want for sex. Or something. Also, unlike Westerners, Asians help to freakin clean up and not make a bloody mess after parties. They don't let one person clean everything up. How considerate you tell me! LOL LOL.


Soooo, here are the food! From Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China (I managed to get my flat mate to cook something hehehe) and best of all, SINGAPORE!!!!!! Imma Singapore represent yo. And guess what? ALEX WAS WITH US AS WELL.

YEAP YOU GOT THAT RIGHT.

Sir freakin ALEX!!!!!!

The dude I was so unwilling to tag along with before my trip. But here we are, friends now : )



Hahahaha! It was nice to have him around coz we were comparing a lot of things between Singapore and New Zealand and we realised we have a lot of things in Singapore that we never knew we'd taken for granted. Cliche but yeah. And it was funny how we try to explain Singapore to people. It's so hard to explain coz we're a city. And a tiny one. And that's it. So when people ask us which part of Singapore we are from, we just smile and laugh. Coz. Singapore is just Singapore. There is no which part. Or which state. We're one little island by itself. And all I can say is that I'm from the east. If that helps hahah.

Another thing is, we're a nation, and we don't have a collective race. So when people ask what language or whatever, we'd say English first language, then whatever your mother tongue is would be your second language.

I'd always say it's hard to explain but I'd never fail to say, we're special and I love my country : )

Alex didn't contribute any food coz he's a typical Singaporean dude and only eats other people's food. HAHAHA KIDDING. It was coz I decided to ask him along when it was about 30 minutes or so before the party started. I thought it was gonna be an all-girls night but since I asked my Chinese flat mate, I guess the circle of feminine trust was broken. So let it be, let it be, LET IT BE~ Beatles.


SO HERE'S THE FOOD OH GLORIOUS FOOD.

Before we started gorging, we had everyone introduce their dish ; D



SINGAPORE
Fried noodles with prawns and broccoli.

I made Singapore proud ok, coz the moment I opened my wok cover, everyone got excited HAHHA even before tasting. It only became a tad too soggy and soft coz it was soaking while waiting for everyone to arrive. Fried noodles has also been my specialty for the past few months. Utmost confidence in LOL. Cannot throw face. Give my all.




JAPAN
Katsubi Donburi (Chicken cutlet on top of rice) & Chicken salad

It was awesome!!! Japanese food never fails. Chicken salad was also good. Yurina's hometown specialty in Miyazaki.



TAIWAN
Steamed pork buns.

Made from SCRATCH. Meaning the dough and all as well. Fantastic. I'm amazed. Kimberly didn't have minced pork so it was with ham instead. Nevertheless, good effort. Lol I sound like a food critic. Far from it.



CHINA
Celery and chicken breast meat stir fry

Seems innocuous but it was very refreshing. Coz everything else was quite heavy and starchy, so having celery helped cleanse the palette. I never knew this was eaten in China!!! And I'm Chinese! Hahah. My Korean friend who lived in China for 4 years reaffirmed this. Cool.

My Chinese flat mate is so shy. After cooking and sampling some of the dishes, he went right back into his room and never came out after that!!! Tskkk.



Guess where this is from? The colour and all

Yeap,
SOUTH KOREA
Not the north but the south.
Eh truly, some people don't know the difference my lord, read the news or something get choself informed man. You look quite like a doodoohead to be honest. Haha.

Anyway, this dish is called Topokki. A dish that's stir-fried rice cakes.
Those long white things? Yeap they're rice cakes!

AHH I LOVE KOREAN FOOD. Argh. I think every dish here was just made so awesomely. So motherf* satisfying.

Last but not least,


HONG KONG, MACAU
Sweet stir-fried chicken with yellow capsicums

I identify with this the most out of all the rest. Coz I guess it's Chinese and pretty prevalent in restaurants and food centres in Singapore. YUMZ! I noticed that it was the first to be wiped out!

Now with all formalities done,


TIME TO GRAB YOUR CHOPSTICKS AND TUCK IN!!!!










Serena then made some Korean pancakes for us for dessert : )






It was delishhhh!!
Something sweet to end the night. We were bloated already but how to resist this siah?


Check out the responses




Clockwise top left: Japanese, Hong Kong, Korea, Taiwan

Love all these girls!!

And to me, it's kinda funny how we all have to speak English to understand one another. I feel like we're actually all the same. We're all Asians but we have to speak English to communicate. That's just odd for some reason to me. I dunno why!






Grabbed from facebook haha
And Yes! I was wearing my Nyonya batik skirt! Solely for Asian Night ;D
The rest wanted to see the rest of my Peranakan costume so I gave them a fashion runway show lol.




AHAHA! She was a happy girl last night. Definitely slightly tipsy from all the drinking but, I like to see her a little loosened up haha.




Naughty girl
We had a few drinks before heading to Kimberly's house party with many other International students. In fact, I'd say at least 80% of exchange students were at that house party. What a crowd and lovin it. Met a few new people there.


Jazzed up a little by putting on a blazer and leaving my batik skirt on. Haha, I show those angmohs what Asia is yow.


All ready to leave.
To be honest... only Asians do the twist sign in photos. It's not even a stereotype anymore man. It's A FACT!

Fooyeahhh,, Azn Ivzn!!1!!!

I love to go to house parties like these and scare all the angmohs by announcing, "ASIAN INVASIONNNN" HAHAHAHA. Their faces are just like. Blank. Stunned.






Met this Korean girl. Really bubbly and nice.
She's one of those who intend to reside in New Zealand for life. Study, then get a job and live here.
More and more Asians are coming to NZ. Literally Azn Invzn. Apparently in 20 years time, there's a possibility that Kiwis will be a minority in their own country lol lol. I wish em all the luck. Might happen to Singapore too.

Met an American guy as well. And I'd say he was charming. Coz you know why? He knows quite a bit about Singapore. Hahahha. How easily charmed I am. Not quite the typical ignorant American who doesn't know much about the world. So I was quite impressed and he seemed like a nice dude. We're snapchat friends now lol. It's this app that allows you to take pictures which are then sent to your friends, and they can only view the picture for a certain amount of seconds before the picture is erased. Apparently very popular in the west like the US and New Zealand.

Fling only lah, nothing serious man.

And the moment I knew I had to leave the party was when, this dude kept touching my waist and he was asking me where I was gonna sleep that night. Well duh dude I'm going back to my OWN bed. He was telling me he's got a double bed and shit like that. Gross, no sex please. See? This was what I was talking about. All they want. is. s-e-x. Damn. Leave the Asian girl alone man!?


So yeah, that was my night.
I came back to my cottage to the sounds of banging and moaning down below. But hey, you know, I guess I gotta get used to it. LOL.


Now I gotta get back to studying. I seriously need to tune my head back to study mode. Don't wanna fail New Zealand History which is the only paper I find difficult getting my head around coz I know absolutely nothing about this country's history in relation to other Kiwi students. Whereas for the other papers, my Singapore NTU background has given me an awesome head start ;D Haha.


p/s I wish my brother a very Happy 23rd Birthday all the way back in Singapore : )
