my first thanksgiving turkey

The queen of the night (vege tofu turkey!)


The king of the night

It was so nice to be invited over for a thanksgiving dinner. The turkey was like.. HUGE! the real dimensions is approximately 80 cm X 50 cm X 50 cm. It had lots of stuffing (tasted weird.. if u ask me).

Anyway, the host is the tall, handsome black guy - a yr 2 biomed guy. (the darkest in the picture) All the people you see are year twos. (meaning they are either graduating soon, or they are phDs). All of us contributed by bringing a dish, and i made mash potatoes... (i learnt! it is OSOOOO FATTENING!!!! GOD)
Dont be fooled by the proportional guy:girl ratio. The girls have been artificially boosted by alot. only 4 of the girsl in the picture are genuine biomed engineers. *winks* I am really glad that i went, cause i got to know the people in my department alittle better. (YES, i am emphasizing the fact that we are so little)
As a graduate student, I find it much harder to create ample oppotunites to socialise, even within your own faculty, because everyone is so busy with their research, we are in different labs, different supervisors, different courses etc. I also realise that time flies as a graduate student. I think its just because i am soo busy juggling research and courses. There is sooo much i want to learn.

A wonderful cheese platter decorated by one of the guys.. it looked soo professional!!!! *we engineers arent that dull huh.*i could hardly bear to eat it...
