mini update
I have been meaning to post about the eventful weekend sometime ago... So here it is.
Submitted a pretty big paper of Competitive Advantage within the Australian fast food industry. Went home, suited up and added a bow-tie.
James Bond at The Apartment for Steph's Birthday
A call for all of Her Majesty's MI:6 agents was made to attend The Apartment to help Agent 003's coming of age.
What can I say? Almost unlimited booze, plentiful of finger food and some people really dressing up for the theme and the occasion.
Some key highlights:

Heidi's Drinks
The "Mother Teresa" of friends celebrated her 21st. Well, it's more like 21 and a half year old celebrations.
A great evening of catching up with some old faces and seeing the regular faces that I see week-to-week. Always have a soft spot for Murmur for its good collection of imported beers - love my Belgian beers, in particular Duvel and Leffe.

Then WeyMin and I had to leave for this party...
Simon & Michelle's 25th Cocktail Birthday Bash
Simon & Michelle are the greatest party hosts - for any occasions. And this simply raised the bar.
To celebrate their quarter-life crises a Cocktail Birthday Party was in order. And you had to dress up - 80's Aerobics style.
A fantastic night with a massive hangover for it. It is all bit of a blur to be honest, but I haven't this much fun reliving the 80's - music, style, poses... Everything.
We will certainly miss the ever-smiling Fiona.
Little shin-ding at Chau Manor for the FA Cup Final between Chelsea and Manchester United. Dull game, great party at my place. Much fun had by all.
Mum & Dad's 27th Wedding Anniversary was on Thursday. Went to Tao's Restaurant. It is a seven-course east-meets-west degustation wannabe. Some great courses, some off beat ones, some tried-too-hard ones, some average-maybe-it-doesnt-belong. But, you really cannot complain because for under $50 per head, you get seven courses. Bring a camera if you ever come out to eat here, presentation is spot on. And if you are in Melbourne, 22 July, I'll be hosting a dinner there. Mushrooms was orgasmic. It is that good, that I creamed myself. Lamb cutlets, cooked to perfection. Those are the most memorable dishes. Starter - interesting. Soup, oh yea, soup - it is awesome. I ordered some Japanese inspired soup, no not miso, it was fantastic - the right blend of all the complex characteristics. Fried rice; a very different take. Ice-cream, presenation won me over. The same goes for my entree. It sounds as if I am giving it quite a harsh review, but it was a very pleasant evening as I had the wrong expectations as I drove into the driveway. Overall, a good experience with a few hit and misses.
Went to see Spider-Man 3 with Brianna on Friday night, thank you for the wonderful evening and the film - Spider-man, spider-man...
Last night celebrated Rita's Nameday at La Camera. Ash wrote an excellent update about it, so you can view it here: http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=2450696344&ref=nf
I think that is pretty much it...

Some key highlights:
- Getting some weird looks whilst walking into The Apartment, because I was sporting a bow-tie and they didn't.
- Shu & Emma's flash and dash run to the party.
- One drink ticket can get you a Long Island Ice Tea!
- Finally able to fish-hook WeyMin.
- Been had to up the ante when some dude gave Steph a single red rose.
- Ash, Z-Man and I being rejected by bunch of "pretty good looking" girls, as the hot one went away.
- This weird yellow thing that Ash & Brianna was obsessed with.
- Been's late appearance to his partners birthday celebrations...
Don't I look smashing?

Some key highlights:
- Brianna introducing the concept of crotch-shots.
- Fish-hooks
- It has been a little more than 10 months since catching up with Cassie and Susie.

The Tan residence is bit of a nightmare - to escape it, Mishie, Luke, Bretto, Laura, WeyMin and myself headed out to Bebida for brunch. Yum, yum!

Simone and her little brother Duy.
Had to leave early to play Indoor Soccer. Played, lost. Went home, showered and changed. Headed out to farewell Fiona. Fiona has wrapped up her Aussie adventure, for now. A farewell dinner at Bali Bagus with some close friends and a good introduction to Indonesian cuisine.
Some key highlights:
Some key highlights:
- She got some really cool pressies.
- Tomi on guitar and Julie singing; serenading Fiona - it was a lovely gesture.
- The 45+mins wait for Fiona - arriving fashionably late to her own farewell!
- Catching up with everyone there.
We will certainly miss the ever-smiling Fiona.

Had an awesome catch up with my man Kirk, who has wrapped up his time in Australia. A very simple night of good pizza, great wine and awesome conversations between Kirk, Courts, Kenley and myself - talking about philosophy, politics, relationships, theories of evolution, family, parents, issues that we are facing, our dilemmas, everything - loved it.Little shin-ding at Chau Manor for the FA Cup Final between Chelsea and Manchester United. Dull game, great party at my place. Much fun had by all.
