catching up..
gah! its been almost 3 weeks since my last post.. i doubt ill ever catch up.

a few interesting things have happened in that time.. ill summarise below.

:: family bday dinner
on my actual bday we had a combined bday for me, my dad and my sis. we went too this random chilli crab place in surry hills.. it wasnt that fantastic, but ill take any chance to get some singapore chilli crab... mmm. unfortunately they didnt have that fried bread stuff which i like so much.. boo

:: bday lunch
on the 19th i had a small bbq do out at strathfield park which was awesome =) great thanks to all who attended and boos to all who piked. the story of the day was baked goods. khanh brought lemon meringue and berry cup cakes, annie had her highly popular green tea cupcakes, tina came with a series of personalised cupcakes bearing a bday message, jodi had soft coffee cookies, mon had crispy pastry things which i dont know what theyre called and lastly but not leastly andrea baked a chococake complete with frisbee design. in all the commotion of the day the cake somehow ended up upside down, but you can see it pre-ruining here.

it was a long day with much frisbee, basketball and general tomfoolery. i was pretty exhausted afterwards... but it was all in good fun. the turnout was really good =) i always like roping new ppl into my bday celebrations each year.

i dont really like to talk about presents.. but i did receive a most awesome homemade card from my lil sis lingy^^; if i havent mentioned it previously i do like such cards ever so much =)

some pics of the day can be found here

:: pantomime
i went to a pantomime of treasure island, but for reason i thought it was pirates of penzance, so when i arrived and found out it was treasure island i was a bit disappointed. the show was ok.. it was a bit too kiddy for me.. and the singing needed work, but it got a few laughs out of me... and i guess thats all u can ask from a local production.

:: melbourne hat
from the 1st to the 5th of dec, i was in Melbourne for the hat =) i hadnt been to melbourne since i was about 10.. so it looked pretty different =p we stayed at this backpackers which was literally across the street from albert park (where we played) so it was all pretty convenient.

the tournament itself was ok. good cos the level of frisbee was high.. but bad cos i caught a cold on the saturday. good cos it was a day in the sun with fun ppl.. but bad cos it was hella windy and my knee hurt.

my team went well, but ultimately missed out on the semis. we went 5-2 in the pool games, winning 4 of those games by a single point =p personally i started out playing really well.. getting lots of d's and scoring and even throwing hammers into the wind. but as the day went on my level of play went down.. and due to the high number of subs (6 guys on the bench) i spent a lot of time shivering in the winds of the sideline.

most of the rest of the time was spent wandering around the streets of melbourne eating at local cafes, shopping at local shops and cramming into local trams. at Myer i discovered this rather awesome tshirt store, which happens to have a branch at bondi which i intend to visit some time. ill probly get the one which looks like theres converse all stars hanging around your neck =) Speaking of which, tina bought some keds at this small shoe store called "1917" named as such because it only sells keds and all stars. which by some strange coincidence, were both first sold in the year 1917. hehe that was a good year for shoes. another amazing stat is that there have been over 750 million pairs of converse all stars sold worldwide! .. only about a dozen of those are me =p

on monday nite we ventured to Crown Casino to check it out.. and play some free unlimited arcade games thanks to some coupons we acquired. it was all pretty silly, i found out i cant play DDR anymore.. and wasted a lot of my time on point blanc and time crisis (both of which i own on playstation). i won both our races of sega rally.. and lost badly in both our games of daytona =p

:: frisbee again
i flew back to sydney late on tuesday afternoon, and went straight to st leonards to play even more frisbee =p to be honest it wasnt the best idea ive had, i was tired and so were my knees... as a result i didnt play at hills tonite. also my vespa is apparently broken!!! whilst i was away it leaked all its petrol onto the garage floor.. never a good sign.

.. im sure some other things happened too.. but i cant remember what they are.. i may mention them in later posts if i remember by then. but for now im too tired.
