24 october - aims international food night 2:05 AMEvery term AIMS organizes its inaugural pot-luck International Food Night for the buddies and exchange students, where we all contribute something from our cultures to share. This year, the event was said to be its best and biggest, cos we were all really enthusiastic and there was just so much food..!
Drawing the Singapore flag to don our yummy-looking 锅贴. Everyone was impressed by 1) the Chinese words I wrote, and 2) our "talent" in using the chopsticks, cos we brought to show off! Haha.
Mains (left) and desserts (right) - the former consisted mostly of finger foods like ours, German bratwurst sausages and Mexican chilaquiles. Desserts were aplenty though, ranging from French crepes, pancakes, to all kinds of other cakes and cookies.
Huge frenzy for food (which just makes me such an atypically un-kiasu Singaporean who's taking pics for the event before eating!) Heh. To the right is Tara, the exchange coordinator at U of M.
We headed to Blush thereafter, apparently the most atas nightclub in Winnipeg. It's probably one of the cooler and bigger clubs we've been around here - does have a 2nd storey patio like MOS, though it really isn't as big.The music got boring after awhile too, and eventually miffing cos it was both booming and weird.. bleah. I totally retreated to the couches to chat and chillax towards the end la.

A Bear Named Winnie
Chantale (AIMS buddy coordinator who planned my surprise party the other time) was really sweet to surprise me with yet another birthday present that night - a DVD of the origin and story behind Winnie the Pooh! Haha.. I reckon some of you might've already known that Winnie the Pooh was named after Winnipeg itself, so I guess the gift does serve as quite a momento for me. From the synopsis I read how Winnie became a symbol of friendship and hope during World War I too.. heh interesting. I do hope to have some time to watch it soon, though assignments and projects are piling up! Roar. :(

About me
You are an enthusiastic innovator, always seeing new possibilities and new ways of doing things. You have a lot of imagination and initiative for starting projects, and a lot of impulsive energy for carrying them out. You are stimulated by difficulties and are most ingenious in solving them. You can get so interested in your newest project that you have time for little else. Your energy comes from a succession of new enthusiasms and your world is full of possible projects. Your enthusiasm gets other people interested too.
Your feeling preference shows in a concern for people. You are skillful in handling people and often have remarkable insight into the possibilities and development of others. You are extremely perceptive about the attitudes of others, aiming to understand rather than judge people. You are much drawn to counseling and can be inspired and inspiring teacher, particularly where you have freedom to innovate. With talent, you can succeed in almost any field that captures your interest.
A difficulty for you is that you hate uninspired routine and find it remarkably hard to apply yourself to sometimes necessary detail unconnected with any major interest. Worse yet, you may get bored with your own projects as soon as the major problems have been solved or the initial challenge has been met. You may need to learn to follow through and finish what you have begun, but are happiest and most effective in jobs that permit one project after another, with somebody else taking over as soon as the situation is well in hand.
Hearsay? Say here.
