Mrs S can cook?

Caught up with KM and The Olsen Twin (TOT). Apparently they broke up more than a week ago. Asked TOT what's going on. She said they fought again last week and she was prepared to walk out of KM's apartment, but KM then told her to stay. KM hasnt officially announced they are back together but TOT hasnt asked either. Spoke to KM and she said she doesnt know what's going on. She "doesnt have time" to talk about it with TOT, but is happy for her to stay in the apartment. My guess is, things will work out ok for them. TOT is the best thing that's happened to KM. She's able to get along well with all KM's friends, helps her with her business and is not as clingy as her ex-girlfriends. However, KM said the problem with this relationship is that TOT is always around, 24-7. She sees her at work and at home. Told KM to start hanging out with her own friends for a change, so they have separate social lives. Having said that, so many people crave for their partners to hang out with their friends. It would be worse if your partner hates your friends and I know a person who's just like that. This person will deserve a whole separate blog entry of her own!

Went for dinner at Mr & Mrs S's on Sunday. The Mouse, KM & Ball Breaker all insisted on eating before arriving cos they were worried they wouldnt be able to stomach the food. KM even asked me to take her to McDonald's on the way to Mrs S's!! Cant say I was too enthusiastic about it either. But Mrs S has not step foot in her kitchen before, so this was a very special occassion. Conclusion, the food turned out ok. I was impressed. Ball Breaker wasnt, as she had the runs straight after dinner! Spent the rest of the night looking through our photos from Sydney. We were only there for 4 nights but somehow produced more than 600 photos! Most of them came from KM's camera, bloody Jap tourist! Princess Model was in the funniest of moods that night. She kept spanking everyone on the arse, well everyone apart from FF. I wouldnt touch FF's arse either. Ball Breaker would say "What arse?". Princess Model appeared intoxicated when I got there but she said she was on a Sunday high. Whatever that means. Apparently she goes a little crazy on Sundays....??? Told you Princess Model was mad.

Our conversation lead on to talk about TQ. Mrs S was a little defensive over the budding lust between TQ and Princess Model. Her advice to Princess Model was "I'm telling you guys now, TQ is not interested in Princess Model. He's not interested in a long term relationship. He will hurt you Princess Model." I'm sure Princess Model is old enough to think for herself, isnt she? Or maybe Mrs S wants TQ for herself? Besides Ball Breaker and I love to tease our girlfriends about the men that cross their paths; who they may not necessarily be interested in. It's all in the name of fun! Mrs S has been acting a little weird lately. Is there resentment for Ball Breaker and Princess Model because they are single and can f**k any man they want?

Weekend Part II

Woke up at 8.30 am. Just couldnt sleep after all the alcohol consumption from the night before. Watched Rage and Video Hits all morning; for some reason they played house music all morning. It was so surreal, I felt like I was still in Lavish! When I decided to actually get out of bed, it was 11am. Had to get ready for TQ's Birthday BBQ. When I got there, VB and KC were already there, along with the rest of their Korean crew. Got talking to Hippo for a bit and he told me that he's officially broken up with the Scrag. Then why was he rubbing himself all over her a couple of weeks ago at Lavish? To top that off, she's got a new boyfriend, who's Malaysian and works for a Telstra call centre. Hippo insisted it was Scrag that was all over him and not the other way around. Yeah right. Hippo is on the prowl and is looking for a wife. Why do all single men in their 30s insist on looking for a wife? They have somehow come to this decision that they will marry the next person they date. Thank god women dont think like that! Hippo says he's come to an age where he's ready to settle down, get married and have kids. Sounds so much like VB. Women usually follow the shopping mantra. The more you look, the less you will find. The less you look, the more you will find. Well, this is my philosophy anyway.

BBQ was pretty ordinary, quite boring actually. Mr and Mrs S didnt get there till after 4pm, not that they were much help. The life of the party didnt show up till 6.30pm. But the minute Ball Breaker got there, I felt better. She said something really funny to TQ.

TQ: I'm not that adventurous, I've only tried Korean (he's talking about food & culture I guess)
BB: But we heard you've tried Malaysian recently (she's not talking about food or culture)
Crowd: hahahahaha
TQ: How do you know?
Me: BB & I are known as the "Google Girls". We know everything.
TQ: Do you girls know Princess Model well?
BB: Yes, we are close friends....
TQ: Ooh...I see....

Also spoke to KC for a bit. I asked him about his girlfriend:
Me: How's your girlfriend?
KC: I wouldnt go as far to call her that
Me: What do u mean?
KC: We're seeing each other. She might be moving here for work
Me: So, she's moving here for you, but what if things dont work?

No response

Me: So, she's moving here for you, but what if things dont work?

No response

Me: So, she's moving here for you, but what if things dont work?

I give up. He's clearly avoiding my question. Probably thinks he's already shared too much information and knows this information will no doubt be spread amongst the Google Girls. So does KC have a girlfriend or not? He obviously doesnt want to admit he does. Why? Is she just a kept woman he will one day marry? After all she fits his family's criteria of being the perfect wife. Same colour, same culture, same religion, etc. Boring..... More research needed here.

Birthday boy's parents showed a slideshow of him when he was a kid. We have officially all seen TQ in the nude! Well, as a baby anyway. As for Princess Model, she may have seen more recently...... :) VB announced to TQ's mom that he's in love with Princess Model. Princess Model, you should've been there. The mother was asking for you!

The party adjourned to Eurotrash, then Eve. I was way too tired to keep up with these alcoholics. Went home and was asleep by 10pm.

Weekend Part I

Golden Monkey was a good choice for cocktails after the traumatic Vue De Monde experience. By the time me and my sore arse got there, Ball Breaker, Princess Model, Mrs S, Ah Sook, Fegg & some other friends were already there. Ball Breaker was smashed (as usual). Mrs S was surprisingly still sober and she was upset (and I mean upset) at Ball Breaker for being drunk. This is after all a normal Friday night. We are always smashed when we are out together. Nothing unusual. Why the sudden resentment for Ball Breaker? Maybe it was that time of the month?? Golden Monkey is a non-smoking bar much like all the bloody bars in Sydney. But our dear Ball Breaker lit a cigarette in there without anyone knowing. Trust her to always do something illegal. Ball Breaker was making her move on Fegg (maybe this made Mrs S upset?) but no respond so far from him. Mrs S thinks he's gay, very feminine. Princess Model insists he's straight. I havent come to a conclusion on this as yet.

The party moved on to Lavish (where else??). We rocked up at 2am, walked straight in like we owned the place. Some chick at the front counter wanted us to pay. Does she know who we are??? Ah Sook wouldnt leave me alone. Followed me around the bar and onto the dancefloor. VB was watching me like a hawk. I need to lose some of these people. As Ball Breaker says "they are not part of the click". Met the lesbians. Great bunch of people to party with. I spent the whole night on the dancefloor in the Retro Room with November Cleo (yes, she's in November's Cleo magazine). Ball Breaker & Princess Model disappeared downstairs with Ah Sook & Fegg. Was BB still trying to make a move on Fegg? Mrs S told me off for dancing with the bouncer in the Retro Room. She told me to stop flirting.... ?? Huh?? Flirting??

We left Lavish and all went to a friend's place. For the life of me, I dont know why we went there in the first place. Everyone wanted to smoke up - not my thing. I should've just taken a cab home or gotten a ride from somebody else, Ah Sook perhaps ;) cos he followed us all the way to Richmond in his shiny black Audi. Ball Breaker fell asleep as soon as we got there, followed by Mrs S on top of her. Princess Model was served a cup of tea, was told it was T2 tea but I have evidence that it was a Dilmah teabag in the cup! Was going to leave Ball Breaker there to sleep when we all left but she was too afraid to stay over on her own. She thought she would get raped there! Atleast there would be one willing participant......

Vue De Monde SUCKS!

After looking forward to a much anticipated fine dining experience, I can tell you I was thoroughly disappointed with Vue De Monde. My ratings:
Food = 5/10
Customer Service = 4/10
Atmosphere = 7/10
Firstly, the booking for dinner was made about 6 weeks ago & I specified that one member of my party was allergic to egg, so it was imperative that no egg should be served to this person at all. We had a 10 course dinner and at the presentation of each course, we asked if it contained egg (just to be 110% sure). Each time, the waiter firmly said "no egg, dont worry". At the last course, thinking we had harrassed the waiter enough, we didnt bother repeating ourselves again by asking if it contained egg. Low and behold, you guessed it, the Wagyu Beef was served with egg sauce! Now, my workmate has a severe allergy to egg. Her throat will start to swell which will cause her to stop breathing, so needless to say the ramifications were critical. At close to $200 per head, you would think there wouldnt be communication errors of this kind. Thankfully, the "victim" was ok. She had to down 5 bread rolls to counter the allergy reaction (something to do with the enzymes in the bread??). Anyway, this was not the end of my traumatic Vue De Monde experience. When the final dessert was served, the waitress spilled 2 pieces of cake on the table. Yes, we are only human, we make mistakes and accidents happen. But must I repeat myself? At $200 per head, I think my table deserved atleast an apology for this. All the waitress offered when she dropped the dessert was "oops!", then she promptly walked off. No apology and she didnt even come back to clear the table! I knew I had to say something to the manager of this so-called classy restaurant. My CEO insisted I say something anyway. After my less than pleasant comments to the manager, he offered the "victim's" meal for free. He was very apologetic and I appreciated his acceptance of my feedback. But my traumatic experience does not end there, as we were leaving, one of the waiters tried to kill me by pushing me down the stairs! This is my story and I'm sticking to it! I had been walking up and down these stairs all night to go to the smoking area and had no problems at all. But as I was leaving, the waiter decides to grab my arm thinking he was helping me down the stairs. Do I look like a cripple that I need assistance down the stairs??? I saw him coming for me and I didnt want him to touch me but too late, I'm sure he pushed me because I fell flat on my arse! Now, if he was supposed to be assisting me, shouldnt he have caught me before I fell? So, my theory is right, he tried to kill me because I made all those complaints to the manager!!!! Never again will I step foot in Vue De monde and I would not even recommend it to my worst enemy. If you are after a restaurant with a similar degustation menu, then you must try Tetsuya's in Sydney. The food is magnificent and the service is impeccable. The price is the same as Vue De Monde, but I would gladly pay double to dine there again.

I need a breather after this long entry. My weekend doesnt end there. More goss ahead. Will come back to it a bit later today.

Virgin Blogger

So, here I am blogging for the very first time in my life. Yes, hail to the Virgin Blogger. I am dedicating this “attempt” at blogging to all my friends around the world. I want to share with people the stories of people around me. Just because I don’t get around much doesn’t mean I lack excitement of any sort. I live through the dramas & excitement of my dear friends. I have always said I would write a book about their lives, so here’s my poor attempt at being an author!

Last night VB graced us with his presence at my house. He spent the whole night on sms with Princess Model & SG. Quick recap - SG is a friend visiting from overseas and had the pleasure of "watching dvds" with VB while she was here. I think love is in the air! SG is back where she came from but the phones havent stopped buzzing.... I think they should seriously consider investing in phone cards...???!!

As for Princess Model, she is a disaster and a half! She decided to go to Mackay on holidays by herself but after one night, decided it aint that much fun after all. Going through depression over this, she decides she needs to return home to Melbourne. Before even consulting me (the sane one), she rings Virgin Blue and changes her ticket to return today, not before forking out $650 for the change of schedule! Then she realises it was all a big mistake.... oh well, it's only money. Better to regret something you've done, then something you havent done! She should've given me the $650 to fly up there for her......

Tonight's gonna be a good night. I'm off to Vue De Monde (only Melbourne's best French restaurant) compliments of my CEO. I will no doubt be writing a report on this wonderful event.

The weekend's ahead so I hope to have lotsa stories by next week.
