Homecoming (belated post)

OSU ' s homecoming is the biggest in the whole nation. We get to experience it last week friday and saturday and it was an awesome event. Homecoming, if i ask anyone here what is the purpose and meaning of it, the answer will go like this : "Homecoming .... is a custom and culture of the US... we do it every year.... to celebrate........urmm........ celebrate the football season in US. We just have FUN... "

Conclusion: there is no meaning and purpose of it actually, just an excuse to have everyone out from their home and have Fun!!!!


So went up for the walkabout as they called it but actually it is just like a "pasar malam" on friday night. This is the first time i have seen so many people coming out all together on one street. We walked for about 2 hours and i found myself craving for food so i bought a 3 bucks corn and continue walking.


Photos on the walkabout are on my facebook account http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=43662&id=635231452

Photos wasnt that clear due to the bad performance of my camera. :(

Then the corn didnt did any good to my stomach so i decided to get something that worth 5 dollar (the money left in my wallet)... and my eyes set upon TURKEY LEG and this is what i get :




It took me and my friend 1 hour to finish it.. haha

The next day we woke up early for the homecoming parade which will be hold off campus. It's a half an hour bike journey there. I thought i saw everyone out from their home the night before but i was wrong. The crowd was twice the night before!!! Even one of the senator candidate came to look at the parade. Photos are on facebook too : http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=43664&id=635231452
Taken a lot of photos on that day

Some of the photos taken:

lame felllow...
The one with a Cowboy hat is our school Mascot called PETE. check out that he captured a bear which is the mascot of the school that we are going to play few hours later. pity bear.. lol


Horses again.... with me again too... lol

The parade lasted for roughly 1 hour and Henry and i were deciding what to cook later but suddenly the restaurant NEW CHINA popped up in front of us! Henry said the food in NEW CHINA, which is a buffet restaurant is awesome so biasa lar guys... think of cooking also sien.... so we drop by there to take our Brunch!!
It is the bestest meal i ever took in my whole stay in Stillwater! They have chinese foods (mainly), pizzas, japaneses foods, deserts, italian food, fruits..

As i was so curious i calculated how many dishes are there and it turn out to be 90 of them! feels like a King on that day! haha..

and what the hell it only cost 8 dollars!!

I wasnt that hungry until i actually saw those food.

First round....

Second round...

Third round...
Fourth round...
Whats a meal without fruits?? :)

This is the heaven of food...
Look at my stupid face! damn full...lol. Took 1 and a half hour to finish them ..

Cycling back after that meal was the stupidest thing to do and we did. lol...
Took this meal at 12 pm and did not feel hungry until 9pm. :P lame ...
Anyway OSU won the football game on that day 27-6. Congrats congrats!! :)
