New Friends

26/2/08
Being down in Australia can be quite lonely. I have no family members here but thank god I have some friends.

I knew Su Jin since Assunta secondary. In school, I'll be honest when I say that there was quite a number of students who were her fans. I'm glad I was her friend. :Second edit - Su Jin, you have fans~! Junior ones that go 'fangirl screaming' when they saw you on stage... Deny all you want~!:

:second edit: Here's Kelvin, her boyfriend. Seriously, a fun, young chap that is shy (so he says...). I couldn't belief him when he told me he was younger than us by 2 years... He's almost as young as my younger sis but no issue there. Hahaha~! :Knowing him better now... he's so much more fun and very friendly~!!:

We spend the day by having a nice japanese lunch (my first here in Australia) and meeting up with more of Su Jin's friends. They're all super nice. There was Perng, Lo Yang, Nick, Yee Boon and Shin Yeu.

We went to Crown Casino since we wanted to look around (some of them haven't gambled before). I won AUS100 playing crown black jack. No, I'm not a gambling addict so don't you worry. If I was, I would be a daily patron to the casino but I got plenty of asssignments to do. Trust me..

Had a great Belgian Waffle at Melbourne Central.

It was really good. ^__^ I'll bring you to eat some if anyone comes to visit me here. I shall look forward to eating this treat again~! I got invited to celebrate Perng's birthday the next day.

We met up for a nice chinese dinner near Chinatown (or was it in Chinatown..) L to R: Lo Yang, Perng & Yee Boon

The Birthday cake. It was funny when it came to lighting the candles. Everyone forgot to bring a lighter and we had to ask 7 other tables before we found one.

[L to R: Shin Yeu, Su Jin and Kevin] Preparing the cake while Lo Yang was bringing Perng for a "walk"

Candle blowing session

Yes, he's going to cut the cake with a pair of chopsticks.

Don't know why we didn't have a knife when we bought the cake. [shrugs]

[L to R: Shin Yuen, Su Jin & Lo Yang] Hanging out

Playing a trick on the birthday boy. Placed some candles on the cake for the birthday boy to pick up with his mouth. An excuse to smash his face into the cake... but the birthday boy already saw that coming. Hahaha~!

Serving out the cake

Everyone's having a good time. [Shien Hao, Yee Boon]

Cake anyone?

After the dinner, we went to the Victoria Night market. It was the last day for the summer night market to be open. There were so much people, I got a little uncomfortable being in the crowd.

The celebrations were not over yet as we later made our way to St Kilda beach to have some drinks. This would be my first time to go clubbing... ever. No one invites me to drink (even though I love drinking) [shrugs]. Tried their local beer, Carlton Draught. Don't really fancy it. I prefer Heineken and now Kirin. One glass of beer = AUS 6.

Also had Jagerbomb (pronounced Yager-bomb). It consists of 50% alcohol and 50% red bull. You drink it in one go. One shot of jagerbomb = AUS 6. And normally when you treat someone to drink, you have to drink one as well. Towards the end of the day, I had 2 glass of beer (1 kirin & 1 carlton [was AUS 2 when I bought it during happy hour]) and 6 shots of jagerbomb (bought 2, the other 4 were treated).

I was a little high towards the end. What irrated me was the loud loud music. Good thing I had good friends to be with. They made sure I got back safe and sound. I wasn't so drunk until I can't walk or anything. Could walk in a straight line... slower than usual, that's all. Hahaha~! I enjoyed myself that night. Cheers~!
