Afternoon tea with Malaysian sponsored students

Last Thursday, there was an afternoon tea with the International Office/International Student Centre held at the Conference Room 715, Ingkarni Wardli Building.  Me, being myself... tak perlu drag geng untuk pegi sama-sama, bcoz I always make new friends... so, aku pun redah je la pegi.

Err.. it was just an excuse actually... sebab aku dah malas nak buat keje petang tu. Didn't run experiments after my meeting, so pucuk dicita ulam mendatang. Terus la aku drive pegi North Terrace.

There wasn't a big crowd as expected. Maybe sebab dah start semester break. Ramai yang lari terbang balik Malaysia sebab takut hitam masa summer. Hehehe

Soufiane (the International Student Advisor, for sponsored students), Alicia Tan (ISC) and Sophia Lee (UoA In-Country rep in Malaysia).

 

I remember Sofiane was the bloke I contacted to arrange my airport pickup when I first set foot in Adelaide. 

 Jane Copeland (Regional Manager, International Office) having a chat with other students.

Purpose of having that afternoon tea? Just a get-together, to be in touch... with the students and alumni. Could contribute by giving a talk to prospective students too- macam aku buat untuk UQ dulu, everytime Jeanette and Lesley turun ke KL.

Makannnnn... there were several types of Malaysian dishes served actually (by Mazzi's Kitchen), tapi masa dah nak habis, baru aku teringat nak snap. Ye la, blogger pun kadang-kadang lupa diri jugak. Nak-nak bila sampai bab makan.

Alaa...apa korang nak heran pun. Makanan Malaysia jer. Kuih bakar, ketayap, vadai, karipap, dan ada la few more.

 Time for a group photo!

or two (takde beza pun! cuma kepala aku je ke kanan, ke kiri sikit)

 

Continued mingling and chit-chatting...or pura-pura nampak serius bila orang snap gambar. Hehe

Though the crowd was small, but still.. there are unfamiliar faces! Nampak sangat ramai jugak Malaysian students kat sini. Tu baru yang sponsored. Yang PaMa punya scholarship? 

:-O Homaiii... Tu la, dulu tak nak pegi Melbourne sebab tak nak ramai sangat Malaysians. Rupanya kat Adelaide pun walaupun tak seramai Melbourne, tetap la ramai daripada Queensland. Huhu

 Yours truly and Alicia. She can kecek Klate, you know!

Kelihatan yours truly sedang menjual minyak kat Kuhan mengelentong seorang bakal lawyer berkaliber. Tengok..tengok... senyum mesti lebar kan? Mihmihmih

Then, Kuhan pun mengadu kat kawan dia... "Kau tau, dude..tadi aku kena kelentong dengan awek cun tu!" (gila perasan x hengat).

 

Kemain gadis-gadis (eh, mak gadis) ni pun tersenyum bila aku hala henpon nak snap gambar. Dah tau dah nanti masuk blog.
