Toga Party

So yepz. A month ago on the 9th of April, I attended my uni's toga party held at the on-campus Bar on the Hill.

Just for your information, toga party is a costume party in which everyone wears a toga, normally made from a bed sheet, and sandals. =D

And nopez. I did not go dressed in a toga like this:

But I went as a volunteered photographer for the University of Newcastle Union. Hehe.

So ladies, this is for you...

Of course, besides seeing people here and there in their togas, there were other activities as well like these gladiatorial games.

Yes, his name is Baby Hannibal. And yes, that's his scrotum lifting 4 x 6 cans of beer.

Okey. End of disturbing shots.

Lastly, we had live music from Rubix Cuba.

LOLz. Some of his acts were really disturbing. But it was definitely exciting to watch!

Haha. You just gotta watch them wrestle lar. How these blindfolded gladiators went diving and searching for the lion and all. It was damn hilarious man! I truly admire their sporting attitude.

sHaOwEIz...
You know what? He played with his nipples as well. LOLz. See those rings attached? He COOKED a sausage by connecting it to the rings then to a 240 V power supply. =P

T-MO-T...
It's superbly cool, isn't it? Haha.

Woah nice photos! Lol you're really lucky to be the photographer for the event, since I think such parties are not common to everyone :) thanks for sharing the exciting, fun, and disturbing (the fat uncle with his... balls = OMG!) photos! The party looks like a big smash, and it's nice to see so many beautiful, handsome and gorgeous people attending the event - you must have been overwhelmed, heh!

lynnx01...
LOLz. You're the first to see this in scientific point of view. =P But he ain't normal human lar I guess.

ahlost...
If I'm not mistaken, yea, I'm the only official photographer that evening.

3POINT8...
The history of toga has something to do with Rome, that's for sure. The rest, I don't know, but you can read here if you're interested. =P

teddY...
The reason I put this up in my blog is because I believe that this is something we definitely won't get to see in Malaysia, and therefore I hope to share it with all my friends. =) It was really a wonderful experience!
