Christmas at Cuckoo Restaurant

Had a wonderful time with the group at Cuckoo Restaurant in Mount Dandenong yesterday. I took a total of 212 Photos. So many of the photos turned out well, and I loved them all! I shall upload some of my favourite ones below. The rest will be on facebook (of course) LOL. If you haven't already noticed, our group likes to dress up, or at least make the effort to have a theme for every outing we do. Not sure how it came about, but I think there are numerous reasons as to why that is. Firstly its because we can take AWESOME photos. Secondly its the excitement of dressing up. Sure it takes effort, but it definitely pays off when the photos turn out well and we have an awesome time. Another benefit that comes out of it all is, the attention we get from friends and strangers. I reckon we definitely set the trend! It's been that way for some time now. You live life once right? I can't imagine going all out when I'm 50...so why not now, while we're young? haha.

Anyways, Cuckoo Restaurant was a buffet, which had 2 storeys. we sat downstairs, but went to the buffet upstairs as there was a larger range of food to choose from. The food was average but the atmosphere made up for it. I particularly enjoyed the honey prawns, and the beetroot. Yes I know that is a weird thing to enjoy. haha. I don't know why but I love beetroot, whether its in salad, a sandwhich or soup - Love it! I didn't eat as much as I should've, so for me, paying $65 (including deposit) was not worth it at all. But its a once time experience and I enjoyed it, because of the friends I spent it with. We got many stares from other tables as we laughed and giggled throughout the night in our red themed outfits, reindeer ears, flashing nose and santa hats. We got Compliments from a few people that worked there. One guy, I think he was a supervisor, kept complimenting us on how beautiful we were, everytime he walked pass. Then the Pancake guy kept asking where we were from. Don't blame him for asking as there weren't many asians there, but he was a little strange. haha.

After eating there for a few hours we went to Airstream at Glenny to meet up with the rest of the group who couldn't make it to dinner and we exchanged our Christmas KKs. It was funny how we tried to disguise who had each other for KK, yet everytime a present was picked out of the bag - we could tell instantly who it was from. HAHA, that was a total fail. LOL. But it just goes to show how much we know each other! My KK present was awesome, I received a Hello Kitty Perfume bottle and a little book called "Insults and Comebacks". It has some really funny lines, although I'm not sure if I'm mean enough to use them. haha. Just some that made me laugh:

1. Looks: "Uh I understand - you fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down"

2. Age: "You're so old you think a BlackBerry is a fruit"
3. Brains: "You're so dumb, your dog teaches YOU tricks"

4. Character: "you're such a smart-ass I bet you could sit on a carton of ice cream and tell what flavour it is"

5.CounterAttack: "I may be fat, but you're ugly. I can always Diet"

So that ended our early Christmas celebration for the year 2010. Today was a lazy day, catching up on sleep and uploading the 212 photos to facebook. Due to the horrible weather, nothing exciting really happened. Tomorrow shall be a more interesting day =]

So enough talk from me. Enjoy the Photos.

An eventful year it has been

Happy Birthday Ravi!

I know it has been awhile since I've last blogged. I'd like to take this moment to wish my friend a Special Happy Birthday! (although it was last weekend). That night was an awesome night, although staying out til 6am, was a BAD idea. haha. Nonetheless, it was an interesting experience and a night to remember.

My First 151 Shot

Another crazy night to add to my list of crazy moments.

I experienced my first 151 shot. I can now understand why people are so afraid of it! It definitely hits you! I almost felt sick after taking that 1 shot, and it was my first drink!

My Little Nephew

I spent my Sunday with my friends at YumCha, after a depressing morning of horrible weather, preventing us to go Berry picking. It was great to see them, as it had been so long since the last time I had caught up with them. First missing out on Camberwell market due to my allergy. I spent the evening with my Nephew, Ethan who has begun to mutter random words like "gone" or "please" although he doesn't say them properly, You get the gist when he does. Haha. he's so cute! lol.

This coming weekend will also be filled with more excitement and photos. I will be spending Saturday celebrating Christmas with my close friends at Cuckoo Restaurant, followed by a night out on Sunday at the Boulevard Christmas Lights event. But it doesn't end there, as I have taken a day off on Monday to attend my friends Graduation! =)

Back in HighSchool

Following that, I hope to catch up with my bestie from Highschool. It will be great to finally catch up with her as the last time I saw her would've been months ago. Its funny how everytime I meet up with her we always laugh about the old days, like it just happened yesterday. Its amazing how we hardly get to see each other, yet when we do, its like we've seen each other every day. So shall be good to finally see her again =]

 I am anticipating the eventful weekend to come, and then the eventfut week ending before work goes on shutdown, and then finally celebrating Christmas with the family.

It's amazing looking back on the year that has passed to see how far I have come...the year had started of badly, with the numerous car accidents, followed by the new environment of fulltime work and trying to fit in, to breaking up with my ex. But when I thought this year was going to be the worst year of my life, things turned around and its true when they say whenever something bad happens, something good happens.

My Life of 2010

The good things that happened shortly after my bad start to the year included my awesome adventures with my close friends (whether it be to Sydney or just hanging out together), having crazy nights out, random coffee breaks, shopping, and making awesome friendships at work that will be greatly missed. Although it seems my badluck came back with my allergy, I am hoping that it is a sign that something good will happen. Whether it happens during Christmas or overseas. I am looking forward to what my future may hold for me.

Hope everyone has an eventful weekend in anticipation for Christmas!
