i was emo before it was cool
whoa a number of events have occurred since my last posting effort. here we go..

:: friday
it was my bday ^_^; yay me. im now officially mid to late twenties. Of course there was no chance i was gonna do any work on this day. Some doods at work bought me a very rich chocolate cake and some scratchies.. with which i won $8 worth of more scratchies =p i was talking to this lady at work who asked me how old i was turning and i told her i was 18.. and she totally believed me, despite the fact that this is my 5th year at the RBA now. she mustve thought i started working when i was 13 =p

after work i had a small gathering of people for some bday drinks. it was cool to see some peeps who i dont see heaps and just hang out somewhere quiet for some alcoholic beverages =) i dont really like to talk about presents i get.. but the award for best card goes to pete n anne. cards are so awesome.

im secretly bitter at all the pikers (you know who you are) except for Pablo of course, who was interrogated by an undercover cop and couldnt make it. and to make matters worse.. the cop turned out to be a conman who escaped with many of his hard earned dollars.. grrr. Mindy also gets special mention for turning up to the right venue at the right time and still piking by going to the wrong floor =p

:: saturday
we had the annual catch-up-on-bdays chen family dinner outing at Drummoyne at some thai place which is apparently heaps popular. i also got to check out Jo's new place, it seemed quite nice as far as i could tell although nothing was really unpacked. we also had some quality gelato afterwards =)

:: sunday
sculptures by the sea for me to see. it wasnt a fantastic day for it, but it was warm and not raining and thats all i ask for really. there were heaps of ppl down there.. it was impossible to walk down the path at times. i really like the scultures that are big things which are made up lots of other little things hehe.

afterwards we played some texas holdem. i was doing quite well in the cards i was getting.. but unlucky with what other ppl were getting. in a short period of time i managed to get 2 pair twice and a straight twice.. so i bet up big on those.. and lost them all. grrr.
