Mardi Gras

Exams week has just ended, hence there isn't really much to update about. Besides that, Laramie isn't really a town for tourist. So yeah.

Well the highlight of the week was Mardi Gras! But before that, Nurul & I are honoured to be able to co-host a radio talk show by University of Wyoming the night before Mardi Gras. By the way, Mardi Gras is a French festival held before Ash Wednesday when Christians & Catholics began their fasting till Easter (hope I'm correct about this). It literally stands for "Fat Tuesday", which all the devotees feast before their grand sacrifice for his holiness. Anyway, being able to attend a 'live' radio show is totally awesome. Haha. It's actually organised by the International Student Association & they invite foreign students to attend each week. Being the first batch of Singaporeans here, of course we have to attend it. Haha. Here's out the studio looks like.

I think I looked damn cool with the headphones. Hahaha. I kind of stuttered a little at first but I'm glad I overcame it. Hahaha. Other than Carmen & Andrea, I think De Shun was the only lucky one else to have catch me 'live' on air. Hahaha.

Now Mardi Gras. There isn't anything much other than food I can showcase, hence..

Okay, I know this isn't food.

Haha. The food was really fantastic. And being Singaporeans, it was our first time seeing devotees putting ash on their forehead to welcome Ash Wednesday. We were wondering how come no one noticed that their face was dirty, and all got dirtied at the same spot. Haha. Nurul almost went to notify one of them that her face was dirty until I stopped her.

And being in Laramie drives one crazy due to boredom. Here's the extent of it..

HAHA. I love Singapore. I miss lots of things.
