Thursday 30th (A day dedicated to East Malaysian -- Iban & Kadazan cultures)

Meanwhile, since my duty finished on 29th, thus i went to help out at Carol & Sweewon's Language booth on 30th. At first we're really working at it, writing and pasting etc. Why i need to say "at first"? Coz later we're actually having great fun at the booth. We flied paper aeroplanes all over the place, made paper ship, paper bird, paper "monkey climbs tree"...there's no paper ball coz we forgot how to make it. Once in a blue moon people~

Watch an up-and-down F1 with Sweewon and i really pity Jenson Button. His car transformed into "a rocket" just meters b4 the check point of last lap!!! Not a flying rocket but a static rocket. The car rear part was with smoke and fire, then STOP moving! If i were him, i'll punch my heart hard.

With this, i close curtains.
