Farewell dinner at Kelli's

Kelli invited us all over to her place for a farewell dinner.. so after the Prodeko BBQ we left for Kelli's place.. =)

Strangely.. she cooked Japanese food for us! She's supposed to be Korean! haha but it was yummy!

A very simple chicken/onions/egg on top of rice.. i dunno whats the name of the dish.. but it was a nice hearty meal =)

I found some cool kinky costumes in her apartment! Apparently left behind by previous tenants and their costume parties..

Suspenders??!

rrrrr!

Then Kelli asked us.. if we want to go to the coolest place in HOAS (the area she stays in is run by HOAS).. we said yes.. and she led us to climb out of her window!!

Rooftop photos.. seeing the sun set!

Chan acting cool..

Wei Sing and Kelli were supposed to be kissing the sun together.. but from this angle.. it looks kinda wrong..

Kelli getting stuck at her own window

Shu Shan! Have a safe trip back to Singapore and Malaysia! Will see u back when Yr 4 starts!!

Pei Joo! It was great getting to know you a bit better.. Had a wonderful time on exchange with you guys! Take care on your many many trips!

Eugene! I'm really blessed to have gotten to know you as a sister in Christ.. See you soon in Singapore ok? =)

I climbed up another tier.. for more photo opportunities.. but we were soon warned by a passing police car to get off the roof! You can actually see the police car on the right side of the photo!!

Tried to lock Kevin outside hehe..

Thanks for a wonderful dinner and a wonderful exchange experience again.. =)

Prodeko BBQ

The exams are over and the summer break is here =) We attended the annual BBQ of our guild (Prodeko) and had a nice relaxing afternoon. Glorious sunshine, free food and performances.. Nice!

The trick is to hold an empty plate and keep an eye on the BBQ.. when u see something is almost done.. begin to creep nearer and nearer.. When it is done, helpful ladies will look around for anyone who wants the food. Look at her in the eyes, smile and put our your plate. Say thanks! Throw on some bbq sauce or ketchup.. Enjoy!

Mushrooms with cheese.. wrapped in Bacon.. superb! Gonna do it in Singapore =)

Booze for sale of course

Prodeko freshmen then came on for some back to back dance performances..


Can Can girls!

This one was quite gross and funny at the same time. He started out dressed...

Then tore his clothes off!

Some retro + hip hop + ??

Sausages, porkchops (x2), chicken fillet, mushroom bacon wrap.. =)

Enjoying the party atmosphere!

Band with a horrible singer!

ISE should do these free BBQs as well!

Before we left, we presented Henri, the International guy from Prodeko.. gifts from Singapore and NUS.. Thanks for taking good care of us over the past semester! Anyone from IEM coming to NUS ISE? We'll be good hosts!

Farewell Dinner!

As the title of the blog suggests.. we had a final dinner where everyone could be together.. and it was a feast! =)

We tried to finish cooking all the food we had left

3 hours to men(1), but the Dong Gu was still disappointing!

I'm quite proud of my sweet and sour pork =)

Felicia n Prima Taste's curry chicken!

Pei Joo's yummy broccoli with mixed peppers and carrots =)

Yes! ISE people! I managed to make Wei Sing eat a yellow pepper!

I'll miss these wonderful times of chatting over dinner.. when the sun never seems to set.. and we never seem to need to rush anywhere to do anything..

I gave everyone a card and a lollipop.. and the girls wanted to take a picture with me.. hahah

Ri Hao and Jack doing the dishes.. while Shu Shan was teaching everyone the secrets of keeping bra in the luggage in shape.. what was i doing listening anyway?!

Wei Sing decided she wanted PJ to cut her fringe as well.. haha..

Another satisfied customer PJ!

And so we had time to see the sun slowly set.. this is the view from the balcony.. watch the colours change..

Just as the sun has to set at some point.. our exchange experience also has to have an ending..
I'll cherish the times i had with each one of you.. Thanks for making the past 4 months so wonderful.. =)

Time to turn off the lights.....

Time to say goodbye

Had a farewell party last Saturday.. it's time to say goodbye!

Park Soon Chan.. or simply affectionately known as "CHAN!!" haha I'll miss u bro.. You're so funny as a person.. Doing all the silly things.. i'll always remember i was at a picnic with a Dinosaur!

Thanks Kelli for being a wonderful project group mate in Intercultural Communication class! Behind your gentle demeanor hides a rocker! Always remember how you impressed us with Sai's electric guitar.. =) Happy to have gotten to know you!

Hope to be able to visit Korea in the near future! Considering the wonderful Koreans i've gotten to know in Chan, Kelli and Eugene =)

Lukas, Stijn, Tobias and myself!

Fellow exchange students in the department of Industrial Engineering and Management. You guys have friends in Singapore now... remember to call us when you guys are visiting ya?? =)

Sai, NUS student from India.. You're cool maaaan .. haha see u back at NUS!

Seetha, another NUS student that i'll see back in Singapore..

Kirsten from Austria.. didn't really get to know you actually.. But like many other people.. my exchange experience would not be the same without each of you! Thanks for trusting me as the detective when we were playing mafia (basically same as polar bear)! hahahah
