1. GREAT DINNER
Last Friday, I had a night out with my college friends (Zalfa, Angeline, Gerald and Sally). Zalfa is a Lebanese lady who looks so damn young for her age. Angeline is from Singapore and she's very knowledgeable and experienced in food. Gerald is a massive Hong Kie guy who has an awesome car - yes he really does! And Sally is a skinny Korean Aussie gurl who owns and runs a really nice cafe at Balmain. As for me, I'm just a regular 21 year old KK gurl who happened to know these four very distinct characters! We went to dinner at this Thai/French cuisine restaurant called "Longrain". It's a very well-known restaurant and they do not take bookings. They're actually so confident that they're gonna be full house every night that they don't need a customer database at all. I applaud their confidence. But it was a full house that day...so I guess their confidence are well justified.
So on that day, we got to know each other so much better. We discovered so many truths about each other. Like one of em' was actually married, and another one was divorced, and then another one actually has curly hair! Okay I swear I didn't know Angeline had curly hair! Anyway...it was such a great night! All of our conversations had something to do with food, restaurants, cafes, chefs, recipes, etc....basically everything to do with the culinary world!! I love it!!! I could actually just sit there all night and talk about food...I guess it's the passion inside me that's starting to grow outwards. I cannot say this any clearer but I really am glad that I quit Uni and started this career choice.
Dinner was sooooo good!! OMG...it was literally orgasmic!! I just cannot believe that those simple dishes could create so much flavor and taste. It's like all the flavors come together and form some sorta....orgasmic mechanism that totally gets you off!! I am not fucking exaggerating! But it was kinda pricey though. That's the part where it potong-ed my steam a bit. It was like $60 bucks per person for 4 shared dishes with rice. And the portion was kinda small. But it was totally worth it!!
2. AWESOME PARTY
Alright, this part of my post is about the christmas party I had last Saturday. So I went to the party at 6pm and I didn't see anybody that I know at the party. All of em' were like from other departments. My peeps from the F&B department hadn't arrived. I was soooo damn bored for the first hour...I almost gave up and just went home...but thank God I didn't!! OMG...thank God for that. Turned out that the party was a blast!! A lot of things happened that night...some I'm proud of, some I'm not! So I will only mention the ones that I'm proud of...hehe!!
Okay...first they had this stupid lame ass magic show that wouldn't even impress a bunch of sick kids at the hospital. It was so freakin' lame. It's worse that Gob's tricks from Arrested Development....it's a comedy series! Anyway...that was a waste of time...and money...but who cares right? I didn't pay for it. And then we moved on to some lucky draw prizes. Oh...btw...I didn't win the ticket to Malaysia in the lucky draw....some dude from the housekeeping department won the ticket. So I guess I ain't coming back for xmas! Boohoo.
Ok ok...I'll skip to the juice of the night!! This was one of the proudest moments in my life! There was a karaoke competition....and guess what? I joined it!! I joined with my two other colleagues...I actually wanted to do a solo, but I decided to do a group instead. We sang "More than words" with second voice! I did the second voice....and it sounded great!! I actually sang on stage...with a mic...in front of 100 over unknown people! To be honest, I didn't feel a tinge of nervousness at all!! Not even slightly....okayyy, maybe's the alcohol...but I guess my point is, I do love singing after all. Btw, we actually got 2nd place in the competition!
Here's a picture of me and my colleagues singing on stage.
Me,Kim and Cheryll singing "More than Words" for the Karaoke contest.So after we did the karaoke right, I went back to my table. I was so surprised that my colleagues actually complimented on my singing. There's this one guy from Front Office who said I that I have a nice voice and I should go sign up for some singing contest. Hahhh...I just laughed so hard. I told em' that he should stop bullshittin'...and I said that it's probably the alcohol that made him say that. I dunno...but sometimes I just feel that I don't trust people when they say I'm good at something. I guess it's a confidence issue u know. My guitar teacher actually asked me whether I would ever wanna sing in a band....I said no. I told em that it's because I don't have a nice voice. But he said that there's potential in my voice if I'm willing to work on it. I guess sometimes I'm just not confident enough to admit on certain abilities that I possess.
Anyway...the whole night turned out great until a certain incident occurred at the AV8 bar. It involves a very drunk guy who works as a front office manager. Hmm..I'm thinking whether or not to write about this. Ahhhh what the hell. Okay...basically, this FO manager was so drunk that he started coming on to a few gurls (which kinda includes me). I was just sitting on this li'l corner minding my own business, and also half watching the Arsenal vs Middlesbrough game. Then all of a sudden, that drunk guy came on to me and almost
Anyway...yeah that was something I wasn't proud of. But aside from that, I had a great time. Here are some pictures of that night.
3. Nice day at the beach
As for today, I had an entire afternoon sun bathing on Coogee Beach together with Angela. It's actually the first time I've gone sun bathing in a beach ever since I came to Sydney. Can you believe it?? Anyway...we spent about 2 hours under the scorching sun, just catching up with each other u know....since we don't go to Uni together anymore. It was a nice hang out. And after that we had lunch at a Thai restaurant. And on the way there...guess who did I see?? Or at least I thought I saw. It was the Aussie doctor from House M.D. series...Dr Chase!! OMG...I could swear it was him, although he grew a moustache and a beard...but I swear man...it was definitely him. I was struggling to remember his real name...so I didn't approach and ask if it was him. If I knew his name, I would've asked if it was him...and if it was, I could've gotten his autograph!! OMG...what a day! Here's a picture of him.
After lunch, we took a drive to Bondi Junction coz I wanted to pick up my guitar which I thought they had in stock. Unfortunately, they didn't have the one that I wanted, which was the red one. So I got so disappointed...I decided to look elsewhere. We had dessert at Max Brenner...I had a Belgian Waffle with strawberries and chocolate sauce. Mmmmm...yummy!!
After Bondi Junction, we went back to Angela's place and we played Guitar Hero Rock Band. You know the new Guitar Hero that comes with the drum set, guitar and microphone? Angela has that and OMG...it's the best game ever!! I couldn't get sick of it!! It was awesome!
So today, I actually spent the entire day outside of the house...which was great...coz I've been spending so much time indoors that I'm starting to rot. I had a very nice time today and I intend to have another day like this again sometime soon. Alright...that's all I gotta say for now! Hope you guys have a good pre-christmas!! Hehhee....pre-christmas is always the busiest time! Shopping for christmas gifts, christmas decors, christmas preps!! All sorts of christmassy stuff. Don't u just love it???!!! Anyway...have a good one and see ya next time!
