Birthday Weekend March 2007

I've never really celebrated my birthday, but this year was an eventful one. hehe....really felt like a spoilt kid.

Fri 16/03/2007: Team bbq by the Yarra

Just so happened that my workmates decided to have a bbq after work by the Yarra river (just a little further down from flinders station and the fed square). Yummmm.....grilled meat....




Sat 17/03/2007: Dinner & Karaoke

Mmmmm.....had the bestest dinner at Jade (somewhere in chinatown) with my housemates - Wil, Ray & Lucy. The whole point of going there was for the jumbo sized oysters they have. Unfortunately, they ran out :( Didn't get to eat my beloved oysters, what a bummer!! But anyhow, dinner was still fantastic. And guess what, I had an upset stomach straight after dinner. Was pretty bad and nearly fainted (i have no idea where i got it from). Terrible, nearly spoilt my night out, especially going to the karaoke after that. Alcohol + bad stomach = die hard. But I had a really fun time, the guys got me a cake (the last time I had a cake was for my 21st bday). No photos, didn't have a camera then, only the camera on my phone.

Just a little something from the kids, Jordan & Rodney...how sweeeet!!! Totally melted when they gave it to me together with the biggest hugs and kissess....awwww....



Sun 18/03/2007: Miss Saigon
Went to watch Miss Saigon with a friend, Tay. The tickets were originally 2006 Christmas presents from him. Worked well seeing it's on my birthday weekend. Two birds with one stone...kekeke. It was really good, I like the music and all, but somehow felt that it lacked power in the presentation. Its no phantom, but still a good watch. Stage settings were pretty impressive, especially the scene when they were in Bangkok. All the neon lights and hustle bustle of Bangkok's district, so pretty. Enjoyable!

Mon 19/03/2007: Work Wishes

Liz, my assistant team leader (the one in the pink stripe shirt at the bbq), seems to think the way to celebrate someone's birthday is to embarrass them. As soon as I walked in to work, I was like "oh my god..." balloons and streamers everywhere and everytime someone walks past they came over and wished me happy birthday. Not that I'm not appreciative of the fact that they are celebrating my birthday. Thanks guys, but I was being constantly embarrassed all day....I'm sure they got a real kick out of that...hahaha.

Thanks so much to all you guys for celebrating my birthday for me.

Sweet sixteen forever....ok, ok, maybe eighteen. It was totally awesome!!! xoxoxox

What the adults do to entertain themselves at a kids Macca's party...
That was my creation...(explains why I never became an artist....)

Hmmm....not sure what Wil was trying to achieve here...?!?

Christmas 2006 & New Year

Thought I'd do something a little different for Christmas this year. Shane was telling me he was gonna do charity...this party going kid who gets himself wasted every chance he could...was gonna do charity!! So proud of him!! So I thought it would be great to join him and his friends, this couple that he knew from school. It was just a little volunteering work on Christmas day serving up lunches to the homeless. It was held at the South Melbourne town hall, with approximately 30 tables that seats 10 each for the homeless old folks to dine on. Our job was to bring out the lunch, serve them their drinks, and made sure that if there were any special needs like vegetarian or kids meals required are brought out to the right tables. It was really good to see them enjoy themselves, at least once in a while, especially on Christmas to have a proper warm meal and desserts. After that, I just spent the rest of the afternoon hanging out at Shane's place with a couple of beers. Then it was a quiet steamboat evening at Tay's.

Shane, posing with his pride & joy...

The rest of New year's and January was bbq after bbq. Non stop!!! Awesome!! Can't wait for more bbq's coming up now that its getting warmer.
