2013 has flown by like a Peregrine falcon on speed.
9 months ago i was planning my 35 for 35 project. Time has flown by so fast, i've not even had time to go online and update blogger at all. Instead, life has been lived fully!.
Yesterday was a good example. Despite the torrential rain; which is a rarety in Perth, i attended a Cancer Council update in Women's Health in Wembley. Hurried home, crashed to relieve my massive information overload headache and before you know it, it was time to head to Malaysia Night.
Malaysia Night is to commemorate the formation of Malaysia - Sept 16 1963. We are 50 years old this year and 56 years since independence. It was AMWA- The Association of Malaysians in WA, inaugural Malaysia Night.
Cookie Monster, Nurse J, her mate Wati and i were very pleased with the night. Very well organized compared to the Indonesia Night we had attended earlier in the year. Dinner started off with entrees at the table: Satay with all the condiments and massive pappadums, followed by a Halal buffet dinner and nyonya style desserts. We were spoilt for choice.
On the menu was authentic sambal belacan, noodles, ayam percik, rendang, veggies and ikan rempah. Endless nescafe and masala tea as well at the end of the meal!.
I was pulled up by one of the organizers, along with 10 other ladies, out of the audience. We were a bit perplexed. Were they going to make us dance?. Instead, it turned out to be a good first for me: Winning best dressed!.
After a lot of dancing (by the crowd) to music by Royston Sta Maria and his band, what Cookie Monster and i were waiting for finally materialized...the lucky draw. We had nearly given up and passed out asleep when one of our tickets was called-303!. It was amazing. We won 300 dollars in cash just like that. Definitely one of our best nights out.
AMWA have Bollywood Nights coming up in October for Deepavali. Tickets cost only $50 dollars including all meals, performances and door prize. Considering we paid $60 each but won prizes worth more than 300 dollars, a steal!.
