Multilingual Birthday Songs

We had an all student project yesterday where students from year one to three combine and were divided into groups to work on a project brief. It's a brilliant way of getting to know each other. Our brief was to make a fruit peeler for either the banana or orange, without having to touch the fruit, without using any sharp or dangerous parts and keep the form of the fruit, without squashing or destroying it during or after the peeling process. It's a real challange since it's a three day thing.

Later in the night, went for my friend's birthday party at Chapman Hall. I was early so i helped out with the preparation. It was my 1st time making the curry puff like food. I was doing not bad with thte wrapping of the fillings, actually. :) (self praise)

Anyway, the kitchen was big enough to accomodate all of us. The food was good and we were just eating and talking through the night. Oh, we sang Happy Birthday song for the birhtday girl in so many lanuguages.. Wait, let me recall.. There was the main language, English then Spanish, Chinese, German, Hungarian, Portugese, Iran, Swedish.. It was really cool.. Then we had a little choir going on. The Spanish girls were singing some Spanish songs, which i really like listening to. It really was a great night. Especially with wine and cakes.. MMmmm.. mmm.. There were 3 cakes on the table, we only ate 2. Well, the girl bought a chocolate cake, our German/Indon guy friend baked a cake and the rest of us bought a carrot cake. It will be a beautiful 19th birthday for my new friend from Kazakhstan.
