A life full of colours...

The Malaysian Society Cardiff University held our annual Cardiff European Games today. After winning the best society award last year, they sure are raising the bar each time they organize an event.
I was impressed that a lot of Universities participated this year. 38 futsal teams if I'm not wrong. And some flew all the way from France to participate. Quite cool right?

Initially I didnt want to go today. Wanted to do some work but *tsk tsk* went in the end. Wan Jinn asked me to help her to sell food at her stall as Cindy and her were volunteering for the event and Patrick would need a hand at the stall.

The stall sold soya bean and cincau, fried mee hoon and finger food stuff like chicken nuggets, fried wantan, spring rolls and prawn toast.
The soya bean was so good cause it was freshly made!! Good stuff=)
The beans were soaked, boiled, blended, mixed with water, filtered and boiled again. Quite a tedious process but the effort was definitely paid off cause everyone enjoyed the drink :)
So good and fresh that the wife of the Malaysian Students Department's Director wanted to tapao back to London!! She said that you cant get this taste in London!! *such a compliment =D*
So yeah, credit goes to Wan Jinn, Stanley, Yiew yiew and Nath for helping in the process of making the soya bean!!


Yasha was over last night and I took a bit of cincau for him to try. He enjoyed it and at the spur of the moment, he wanted to eat something Asian. Told him that sushi would be closed then (almost midnight) but told him that Wan Jinn, Wei Han, Cindy & Patrick were cooking fried mee hoon. I asked whether he wanted to try some and so Yasha was our first customer!! =D

Our fried mee hoon didnt see well today cause competition was so tight. Our neighbours were selling nasi dagang, nasi lemak and nasi kerbau (smthg like that). Their rice smelt and looked so good... *really yum yum* It seriously draws you by your nose to their stall.
We didnt have such a good time selling at the start but in the end we sold them real cheap with the fried finger food and thankfully, we cleared the big pot before coming home.

The food sale definitely helped polish some of my business skills and I've learnt how to make fresh good soya=)
On top of that, the process of cooking food and making drinks have bonded me with my friends and it was a time of good company & fun!

Yiew yiew has been so helpful throughout the whole food making process. Wan Jinn would have had a harder time without her and Cindy who helped toast the finger food and cut carrots.
2 blenders were spoilt in the process of grinding the beans. Only found out when I got back from the ICAEW talk yesterday evening and found Stan beside the blender all evening long. It was really funny to see such a 'bear' patiently grinding beans next to a small blender.
Wei Han helped to cook mee hoon with Patrick and he came back quite late this morning. Bless him!
And Nath as usually had been really nice and helpful. He helped a bit with making soya, mopped the floor last night and even went there to help today.
Scott and Pearly helped out for a bit at the stall too.
So blessed to have all these ppl helping :) :) :)


Me, Patrick and Wan Jinn

Ps: Dont you think the CEG poster is nice??
Looks very creative to me but someone took credit for something he didnt even do... I feel for that friend of mine who has helped twice and the person took credit for my friend's work. But it's okay, God knows our every action and our reward is in heaven, not on earth!

Today made me feel so old. I felt really tired after it was over.
Is it true that age catches up slowly after turning 21? Lol... It's probably just me.

A doctor told me that people around my age should have at least 6-8 hours of sleep every night. I've always been intrigued by the fact that babies need so much sleep every day. I think they sleep for at least 12 hours but as we grow older, we need less sleep. Will google why but I think only our creator can answer the question.

Okay, going off to bed now.. zzzzz

Good night!
