Wow, what a weekend it has been. On Friday, Burgmann had its annual Valete dinner. It is a formal dinner held to commemorate the end of year and all those who are leaving Burgmann. I must say it was the best valete of all the three years I have been in Burgman. The event started out with pre-dinner drinks at 6pm. Unfortunately as it was raining, it had to be moved to the common room instead of being out on the front lawn as usual. Then at 6.30, we all moved into the dining hall for dinner. Dinner I must say was quite good. For the entree i had a garden salad with smoked salmon, for the main course I had chicken stuffed with spinach and ricotta both of which was yum. During Dinner, a number of speeches were given and awards presented and there was also some light entertainment from Burgmann's very own barbershop quartet made up of Matt Lendrum, Sam Yeo, Joe Opphenheimer and Alex Davies. Their presentation I must say was inspired and provided much laughs.
After dinner, my friends and I retired to the common room for music and dancing and I enjoyed myself throughly. All in all it was an excellent event and props to the organisers of this years valete, they outdid themselves this year.
On saturday afternoon, me and Jia Urnn, a fellow Bruneian studying in ANU as well along with a few other friends went over to the Brunei High Commission for their Hari Raya open house. I must say, I really enjoyed it immensely as i got to meet quitye a few other Bruneians and also enjoy delicious Malay food. I was surprised pleasantly to see that they had satay and Ketupat and also had achar. Man I haven't had those in a while.
All in all it was a wild weekend but for now its back to studying for exams. Groan...I can't wait for them to be over.
