Grafton Hall formal dinner~

Aiyaya~~ sorry for the late update wor.. haha... i was too tired on friday and went around taking the photos on saturday... didn't get to update a single bit... oh well, as i promised, here's an update!! haha... 2day, i shall intro some of my friends in Grafton Hall! they're a bunch of fun and crazy people basically... hehe...
Grafton Hall had a dinner on the 23rd, last friday... yeps~ it was kinda nice lo... especially the food they served... erm... not really served la... cuz it's buffet style but u can't take seconds until u're specified to lo... haha... so, we take as much as we can at the first go...
This is the dining hall before the dinner started... when I took this photo, i juz got back from uni... had some project la... haha... wil update on that soon too... =) well, Grafton's dining hall not bad eh? hehe... and little did i expect that we'd sit at the table right in front of my camera... yea, the one nearest to my camera...
Oh yea!! this is me... haha... how's it?? nice? the dress code initially was semi-formal... but then everyone just dressed up formally.... being a follow-the-crowd Malaysian, i also put on my tie and coat le~~ =P
Table group photo!! haha... ok... so, this is my table... from left, u've got Susan from Taiwan but is a citizen of NZ, Jessie also from Taiwan but staying at Rotorua, Etta from Hong Kong, Charlotte from Hong Kong (both Etta and Charlotte are sisters), Melinda from Taiwan but brought up in Christchurch, Dorothy from Hong Kong (she's an exchange student) and the famous businessman from China, Clarence Chung!!! haha...
Here's the first dish... yeps, the starter... we've got bread and dips and a selection of sushi... the bread doesn't really look appetizing.. so, didn't take the photo lo... haha... but the sushi was not bad...
Haiya~ Melinda made a mess la... all the soya sauce gone dy~~ haha...
Other than soya sauch and sushi, there's still wine that night!! this wine actually tasted quite nice though it wasn't as fragrant as the one i have in my room... haha... =P i forgotten the name of this wine alrdy... but i think it's Charrsieu or smthg liddat... sounds like char siew (BBQ pork) eh? haha~
Here's the main dish ar!! hehe... looks nice right?? there were two options... vegetarian and non-vegetarian... for the non-vegetarian, they had medium rare BBQ steak fillet carved at the buffet, BBQ salmon steaks and Madras chicken curry served with naan.. for the vegetarian option, there're potato balls (they call it potato gems), some salad like dish and layered wraps... sumptuous right?? haha... dun envy~ =P
A table ornament... juz seems so romantic...
Nah~ this is the dessert la... i only ate the choco muffin or cake... dunno wat izit called la... but then we played with the strawberries aftr that and ate it... haha... The dessert didn't really look very attractive la... the more attractive one is the main course lo~
There were performances that night too... this was the first one... the two girls were singin... dunno wat song la... sisn't get the name of the song... but i'd say they're gud~ the voice is loud enough and the harmonics are done perfectly too... oh yea, nearly 4got... u see the guy in black sitting at the table, facing my camera?? he's my head of hall's partner!! -_-||| haha...
The second performance was an eye-opener o! haha.. this guy played the guitar while playing the harmonica... well, i know that guitarists normally play the harmonica too... it goes well together but too bad i cant lo~~ he played a song bout Africa i think... dunno the name but i think if being played, u guys will know what song is it... haha...
This is the last piece of performance dy~ the style of singing was bout the same as the first one lo... got harmonics too... but this time is two guys... erm... i think one of them is gay but i dunno la... cant really judge a book by its cover... then again, who knows?! haha.. i mean he always wear shorts (really short and tight) with tight tight clothes... looks like gay la~~ haha...
This was after the dinner le, i think.. Group photo!! haha... let me intro... top row from left, Melinda, Charlotte, Florence, Johnaton (uncool), me, Jessie, Darrel.. as for the bottom, from left, Susan, Dorothy and Kalpana... haha... everyone dressed up really gud that nite...
Well, we started to get a lil' bored and juz took some photos lo... haha... from left, Charlotte, me, Etta and Melinda...
Bu then posing isn't as fun as this la~ and like i said before, we played with the strawberries... hehe... looks like we're trying to advertise the strawberries?? mmmm~ nice and sweet....
Then we didn't even let go of the flowers on the table... we played with it... haha... so, in the end, the table ornament was destroyed lo~ sad eh? aiks~~ here's Melinda with the flower...
Then there's Charlotte and Florence with the flowers o... well, if one of them does something, most probably everyone's gonna follow suit la... so, everyone starts to put flowers on their ear or in their hair... aiks~
And here's Jessie with a touch of constipation.... haha!! she seem kinda happy with the constipation though... hmm~~ interesting..... haha..
Well, like i said... one do, everyone will follow mar... so, i was forced to do this... aiz~~ they say this looks like a gay Jay Chou... ish~ they insult my idol!! aiks... it shud b Jay Chou juz came back from Hawaii la... he's not gay... neither am i hor!! =P
Aiyaya~~ i was being pulled away... haha... aiks~ look at Charlotte's evil expression... aiyoyo~ =P oh and i dun enjoy it la... i smile for the camera only... hehe... well, soon, the dinner ended lo... but we didn't wait there and the night juz began only...... we went back to change to some more casual wear...
We're going to Mexican Cafe!!! yay!! haha... it's been a long long time since we gone out la... that's y so happy mar... hehe... As u can see... there're some really emo people here... hmm~~ but Darrel spoilt the whole pic la... it was supposed to be an emo pic!! -_-|| this was taken in 50 house (part of Grafton Hall)
Mexiacn Cafe was like opposite sky tower only... haha... so, we walked there... this is the famous sky tower at night... nice?? i think KL tower and Petronas twin towers look better la... hehe...
Well, here it is... Mexican Cafe~ it's situated upstairs of a building... u can dine, drink and dance there... well, we went there to drink only la... drank cocktails....
3 underage-looking teens~ haha... but well, they didn't check our IDs la... not even when i buy a cocktail... hmm~ from left, me, Jessie and Melinda...
Let's take a look around.... colourful ceiling right? haha... and they hang a lot of stuffs on the walls too...
Would u juz look at this!! more than my collection la... haha... i only got 3 bottles~~ -_-|| oh well, it's a pub mar... haha...
These are the first few drinks we ordered... hehe... the orange-looking one is called Sangria, which is red wine cocktail with pineapple, peach, orange juice, ginger ole, brandy and gin!! drink dy wil lao sai (diarrhoea) mar?? seems like wont la... haha... the white one is a Margarita... Margarita [mahr-gah-REE-tah] is actually a cocktail made of tequila, an orange flavoured liquor (normally they use Triple Sec) and lime juice la... haha...
Next, we ordered a Blue Moon Margarita~~ nice name hor?? hehe... dun really know what is mixed here... that night, we played the killer game too... but once only la... aiks~
