Valentinos' Howl at the Moon.

Yesterday was my downstairs neighbour's birthday, she is turning 24, same age as me! We made dinner plans at this italian restaurant called Valentinos at 7.30pm at Broadbeach. In the afternoon, she, my housemate and me started drinking already. We were drinking Jim Beam Cola, Smirnoff Ice, Smirnoff raspberry soda and scotch whiskey. After a few drinks, the two girls went to get pretty. The cab came and went at 7.15pm as the birthday girl took so long to curl her hair! Haha. In the end we tried calling for another one but couldn't, so decided to drive there instead.

 

 

 

The service at the restaurant was impeccable! Though the food is rather bland, I must say. We got a cake for the birthday girl as well, and the service staff brought it out while singing the birthday song for her! Haha, we made quite a din in the restaurant, everyone was staring at us.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After dinner, we went to this club across the road, called Howl at the Moon (such as cool name right).

 

 

 

 

 

Drinking and jiggling was the call for the day, and drink and jiggle we did!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As we down more and more drinks, the night became crazier. Hehe. I had quite a few drinks myself, thereabouts;

1 Jagger Bomb

1 Gin and tonic

1 Rum coke

1 Whiskey coke

2 Tequilla shots

3 Beers

4 B-52 shots

Hmm, I think i went a bit overboard.

 

 

 

 

 

What a night! When we headed back home, I thought there was going to be another round, as there are still a lot of drinks at home. But then housemate and birthday girl had plans to go to some rodeo show early in the morning. In the end, drank a bit more with another friend while sitting at the balcony, and went to bed after.

 

What a start to the holidays! Happy holidays!

The Boy from Oz.

I attended my first, and probably will be my only musical, today, at the Gold Coast Arts Centre. My downstairs neighbour is performing in it as a dancer, we were out in full force to support her. The musical is a musical journey through the life of internationally acclaimed singer/songwriter, Peter Allen, who compose and sang quite a few famous numbers like I Go to Rio and Don't Cry Out Loud. One of his most famous offering is I Honestly Love You, whom he composed for Olivia Newton John, a really touching song.

 

Haha. In the musical, his gay partner sang the I Honestly Love You song to him before he "left" for his tour in Australia, which was quite drama-mama, accompanied with tears, hugs, kisses and all (well, not "all" in that sense). All in all, it is a good production, not exactly in the league of Phantom of the Opera, but entertaining nonetheless.

 

 

 

 

 

I Honestly Love You

Peter Allen/Olivia Newton John

I love you
I honestly love you

I'm not trying to make you feel uncomfortable
I'm not trying to make you anything at all
But this feeling doesn't come along everyday
And you shouldn't blow the chance
When you've got the chance to say

I love you
I honestly love you

Tuesdays with Morrie.

Nope, not another book review. =)

 

Today I attended a ceremony in school, organized by the Golden Key Society. Last month, while i was still in Singapore, I got a letter from them, inviting me to join their society. It is an international honour society for students who performed well in their academic studies, providing networks and scholarships for them. I was attending with another friend, who also got invited. I am honoured to receive such a big recognition from a reputable foundation. Thank you universe for always looking after me and giving me opportunities, I will continue to strive hard in my endeavours. =)

 

 

 

 

We did not stay for the whole event though, as we were planning to go play badminton later. After receiving the certificate, we decided not to stay for the reception and left.

 

Badminton was fun, was able to move freely again after resting my knee for a couple of weeks. We played til almost eleven, and went for supper at Ming Palace again. I should really stop eating so much, the belly is emerging. Haha. Anyway, here are more photos from the boat trip at Sanctuary Cove.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's all folks, have a good week ahead!
