Hi all,


Hope you've been having a good holiday so far.  My annual leave officially began yesterday and I feel like I've done so much!

But I guess I started celebrating really early :)  Friday night to be precise.  My Friday began with a tsunami of work crashing down on me from early in the morning.  I had planned to finish before 5, but ended up finishing around 6. Not too bad, but I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles.

So before I start blabbering on about Friday- here's what happened the Saturday night during the week before. It was M's birthday, so we went out for dinner. Guess what we had...

Lobster sashimi- YOMYOMYOM

Friday evening began with the trek to Saap Thai- on Pitt Street.  It was a nice celebration for the end of work for the year (and for the BAccs, the end of their first internships!). Congratulations on finishing up work :)  I'm really pumped for the holidays.

Now, about the food- I read a few good and bad reviews about this place.  In hindsight, I wish I had paid more attention to the bad reviews- didn't really like the food they had there. Bosco ordered this real nasty plate of raw soft shelled crab salad.

Freaking hell. Haven't tasted anything so bad in such a long time.  After our end of the table got a taste of that crab, we passed it down the table and told everyone to "try it because it tastes so good!"

Result- everyone screwed up their faces and reached for water!

Dessert =  what else but a Maccas soft serve run!

Then karaoke- to make it the perfect end to the night. We went to Sydney Karaoke (on George street next to that korean convenience store) and when we got out of the lifts on level 2, we were met by two curry security dudes holding metal detecting wands. D:  When our hour was up, he actually came into our room to usher us out :(  Can say I am not going back again. Someone take me to Echobox. I heard their karaoke is good!


Saturday morning I was up bright and early to meet Chezza, Annie and Yun at Bondi Junction.  We were planning on spending a few hours at the beach, but that didn't happen due to unforeseen circumstances.  The weather.  No one actually checked the weather forecast. Bad idea.  It actually wasn't so bad.  We just spent mos of our time eating- or chatting indoors.  Bondi Westfield is so posh :)

Headed to starbucks in Circular Quay afterwards to enjoy a good drink.  Rumour has it that no one keeps in touch with their mentorees anymore.  But I really miss mine :)  Super glad I got the chance to catch up with them again. They're growing up :''') :''''')

Afterwards, we split and I met up with Borbs, Edsped, Joseph, Simon, and Awong to watch Carols in the Domain.

Drinking from that ferral  tap by the fountain...

Alice made fried rice, and someone brought plastic cups and forks so we ate from them :)

Cheers!

TO BE CONTINUED- (at Lis' place right now for a sleepover, and we're playing Wii. it's my turn)
