my 21st birthday

21ST BIRTHDAY POST.

Boy, have I had a great few days of celebrating.

I would like to thank everyone for all their birthday wishes, and everyone that made an effort to make these past few days special for me. I have had a WONDERFUL time and everything worked out great.

PreBirthday - 26th

Played 3 hours of badminton with dave, xuan, amanda and a new friend michelle. Was exhausted afterwards, slept at 8PM. Xuan bought me a new racket, adding to the one my dad bought me in malaysia =]

Birthday Day 1 - 27th my actual birthday

Star wars book I ordered arrived - perfect. Went to buy sowing machine with dave at target, later watched tennis and played monopoly deal at tim's house. Also played scrabble. FLAXEN for 36 point win!
Small group of close friends came over, played some games, ngs' made me cupcakes, ann bought me a cake, we all sang songs and ate =] GIN.

Birthday Day 2 (also my brother's) - 28th

Went to work for supervisor training (did I mention I put myself up for promotion?) and ended up having cake all day. Everyone at work sang happy birthday for me, had a great time.

Had an even better time as more workmates gathered for dinner at airstream. Also got me cake and sang happy birthday (third time this week!).

Birthday Day 3 - 29th

Had dinner with all my closest friends at Rare Steakhouse, on Little Collins street. I figured I would go ahead and try the prime Angus steak ($48 for a 400g porterhouse) and man it was good. Had some nice BBQ sauce that is apparently also called monkey glands in South Africa? to go with it. Everyone sang happy birthday once more. Amanda, Jason and Grace said some improvised speeches for me, which was really nice. Love all my friends.

Birthday Day 4 - 30th

Dinner at Rockpool at Crown with dad and brother. Had steak yet again - unbelievably, it was better than Rare's (still pricey $58). So soft and tender, full of flavour. Had some nice side dishes, roast pumpkin and sweet potatoe with burnt butter and garlic yoghurt was my favourite. Some great desserts followed, macaroon with banana ice cream and balsamic vinegar ice-cream on a strawberry tart. YUM.

Now off to canberra tomorrow to have some fun with my friends. BOOYAH.

teoh,
