Had the best lunch break ever today.
Allow me to explain.
So when I walked into World Square this morning, I saw them setting up a marquee tent with Sex in the City 2 posters stuck up everywhere. Her signature white dress of the film is hanging up on a mannequin, so I thought I would be seeing Sarah Jessica Parker in from of Marcs during my lunch break.
But I was wrong. I took an early lunch with a cadet, an intern and a bunch of grads. I walked into world square and SAW A CAMEL OMG! Then went super high because- I mean seriously, it's not everyday you get to see a camel on your lunch break!
We ate at Mr B's (by the way, the $10 thai/jap lunches are no longer $10, but $12! Just FYI :) and then after bumming for a bit we headed back into the office to do some "work" on a Friday afternoon. If you are wondering why M & I are in casual, it's CASUAL DAY TODAY! I.e. clean up the junk in the office. A good example shown below.
This desk cannot be used due to the huge-frickin-normous amount of paper/files on it. Crazy. It is also missing a chair. After our clean up session, the desk was clear, and a chair was allocated to this poor lonely desk. Also, far far in the bg, you may see many cartons of Boags/Pure Blondes. Due to finishing my work 1 day early (yesterday), I pretty much had nothing to do today, so helped out with the cleaning of the above desk, and the unpacking/icing of the aforementioned beers.
But before that, I headed out to get a glimpse of the new Westfield. In my opinion, I don't really see what's so great about the new Westfield EXCEPT THERE ARE GOING TO BE FREAKING HEAPS OF SHOPS SOON! YAY! I wish it was closer to the office :( but it's only about 15 min walk away. On the way back, I bought a cake.
Hi Baabaa Sheep!
Yes, at this point, my day was pretty fantasmo.
Just to recap, what I had done up till that point:
- Saw a camel
- Got a photo WITH the camel
- Had pad thai for lunch.. AGAIN
- Saw the camel AGAIN
- Saw the new shops
- Bought a sheep cake
- Month end drinks
Month end drinks is always good. I end up seeing colleagues for the first time in weeks because we're always stuck at the clients'.
Anyway, afterwards I get a buzz from who else but Borbs who is impatiently waiting for us in the lobby to go to dinner. Our walk there was highly entertaining, as he serenaded (more like spammed) us with "Now if you want to take a picture of the fascinating witches who put the scintillating stitches in the britches of the boys who put the powder on the noses of the faces of the ladies of the harem of court King Caractacus YOU'RE TOO LATE!!!!!! BECAUSE THEY JUST PASSED BY!".
Before today, I had NEVER heard this ridiculous little song before, but it's quite catchy :)
ANYWAY, after our walk, where do we end up?
CRINITIS!
We ordered:
1m long pizza with three different toppings.
Wedges
AND I FORGOT TO TAKE A PIC OF THE PORK BBQ RIBS WE HAD. But man, it was so good, I feel like I can still taste the bbq in my mouth. OMG I WANT MORE. I WANT TO GO TO HURRICANES!
For all those that don't know, Crinitis charges cakeage- meaning they charge a fee if you bring a cake and cut it in the restaurant (which is reasonable I think), and they send you singing/bongo playing men to drum a err whatever cultural version of happy birthday. Hawhaw. Because we didn't want to be billed extra, we told them to NOT bring out our cake and we just want to borrow their fridge for a few hours.
After dinner, we headed to the Harbour, sang 'happy birthday', cut the sheep and I napped while the others cuddled up to their other halves, or went to watch an asian street performer pretend to swallow a burning torch. At that point, I felt quite pooped out, as I had woken up especially early to get to training this morning, and I guess all the excitement of seeing a camel and eating a sheep cake kinda got to me, so I departed and took the train home.
When I was on the train, (listening to SHINee of course), a bunch of asian guys were dragging an unconsicous looking guy onto the train. They smelt STRONGLY of liquor and were loud and rowdy. As a result, I moved into the upper carriage so I could play NudeRunner and Coin Frenzy in peace. Turned out that guy wasn't as unconscious as I thought, because halfway through my train ride, I heard him wretch and cough and spew. Hahahaaa. Lucky me.
Presenting...
The playbook!
Ok. So I guess this book wouldn't really come in handy for me ;D but being quite a fan of the show, I felt quite obligated to buy the book as it was under AUD 10.
So congrats to me, overall a very good day. Perfect end to an up&down week!
Now, to finish my marketing poster and hopefully I'll be able to go out this weekend.
Hope you all have a nice weekend!
5 screams of joy:
Y'all should've got the rabbit stew thing at Criniti's. But omg camel.
i refused to believe there was such thing as cakeage until now =o
how much is it btw?
I second the rabbit :)
that cake looks so cool!
That's just like how Thai at Newtown is now jacked up to $7.50! Shocking!
And camels are so cool yay!
You only think it's ridiculous because you haven't heard that Moses supposes his toeses are roses but Moses supposes erroneously. For Moses he knowses his toeses aren't roses as Moses supposes his toeses to be!
REAL KEEN BAKED BEANS!
And the EY office looks disgusting - it looks like my room!
