Mardi Gras

Exams week has just ended, hence there isn't really much to update about. Besides that, Laramie isn't really a town for tourist. So yeah. Well the highlight of the week was Mardi Gras! But before that, Nurul & I are honoured to be able to co-host a radio talk show by University of Wyoming the night before Mardi Gras. By the way, Mardi Gras is a French festival held before Ash Wednesday when Christians & Catholics began their fasting till Easter (hope I'm correct about this). It literally stands for "Fat Tuesday", which all the devotees feast before their grand sacrifice for his holiness. Anyway, being able to attend a 'live' radio show is totally awesome. Haha. It's actually organised by the International Student Association & they invite foreign students to attend each week. Being the first batch of Singaporeans here, of course we have to attend it. Haha. Here's out the studio looks like. I think I looked damn cool with the headphones....

Heh. The past 2 weeks had been busy ones. Lot of stuffs happened, good and bad, but it's all part of learning and experiencing life outside of Singapore. Exams and tests are mostly held this week and next week, hence everyone's in the mugging mood, well, us being the exception of course. I have been skipping class too. =x So anyway, it's mainly about food these 2 weeks. Putting your concern elsewhere, we had our own Potluck two Saturdays ago. Well, obviously Singaporeans don't really know how to cook, so Emman (from Philippines) whipped up some of his specialties from home for us. & Really, Asian food tastes damn good when you are in a Western countr...
