It was soooo cool. We had about ten countries/ regions represented. The premise is that groups of students get together based on the country/ region of origin and prepare a table of delicious foods, representative of part of the world.
(Hwee, Blair and I)
Don't ask me how, but I was somehow recruited into the Asian table! (Mind you, this wasn't even the SE Asian group, but the Chinese/ Thai/ Korean contingent!) Oh well, I had a blast! Unfortunately, I can't claim to have contributed to the mouth-watering dishes at our table (though I did stir the peanuts). My value added was in making the decorations- I think I missed my calling! Had soooo much fun doing those decorations, you'd swear I'm not a soon-to-graduate MBA student.Unfortunately we didn't win (did I mention it was a competition? The prize is not so much the measly $300, but the unlimited bragging rights!), but according to my Chinese friend Hwee, it's not about winning (of course Blair and I strenuously disagreed. We were however, persuaded to Hwee's way of thinking when we didn't win).
The Taiwanese crew were the winners of the night. We're trying to find out who exactly they bribed!
(Me after I was able to confiscate some Mardi-gras beads from the New Orleans table, and with a red - bindi on my forehead from the Indian table...so cosmopolitan :) )
(Chris just wanted to wear a skirt..eh ... kilt. [Chris doesn't realize he's black...we decided not to burst his bubble])
(Nat looking like this Kafia, traditional dress in Dubai, was made for him! He's was really getting into the spirit of this outfit and trying to recruit his harem of women! (JK)
Nat was responsible for organizing our trip to India and our activities while we were there. He did an amazing job!)
(What happens at Owen, stays in Owen :) )
