from oscar wilde to melanie griffith
just came back from quiz night at the turf, which was bloody fun really! we came in 4th (absolutely AMAZING! we all could not believe it) out of like 20 teams or something. Embarassingly enough, I shone in the "celebrity couples" round, where they give you one celebrity and the team had to write down the celebrity's "other half".
Things here are settling into a nice enough rhythm...this week is going to be fun - the girls are making dinner for our floor tomorrow (we plan on just boiling pre-made ravioli and pouring pasta sauce over, really.), and there's the diwali ball on friday (organised by the hindu society! banghra-style dancing allllll night yeah. vicky and i are just using it as an excuse to get new dresses really. haha!), and then there's the halloween bop on sunday.
pictures from quiz night:
phoebe, rosy and karl in my room before we head out. rosy was really ill so she didn't go, poor girl :( (she claims i gave her the flu, and I probably did, so I do really feel bad.) karl's one of my best mates here..he's a really cool guy. i'll never forget the first time we met, when he asked "so, how long have you been learning english?" me: "since birth, you fucker." since then, whenever he talks ignorant shit about singapore (eg: "do they have topshop in singapore?"), i give him a dirty look and he ALWAYS follows up with "and were you learning english at the time?". heh.
that's karl, me, ben and simon (don't really know the latter two, but ben lives a floor above, and simon is apparently a law genius, according to zhuanghui.)
there's lawrence, rachel, eugene and mike at the turf. mike is on my floor and is an absolute MACHINE at the quiz. seriously, he is really really good at that shit. he knew practically all the answers to round one, which basically gave some information about a novel, and you would have to give the title and author. He does english, which maybe could explain why he knew every one from dostoevsky to verdi, but then, that doesn't explain how he knows which song was voted eurovision song of the century (waterloo, by ABBA), or the lyrics to craig david's "walking away" (well, he was rather ashamed at the latter actually, haha).
well, hope to update more soon. apologies for my shittiness on MSN..i just hate chatting - as most of you know - and i'm always in and out of my room. People, EMAIL ME ok, please. I will DEFINITELY reply. hope everyone's doing great -
