ahh, meals with the church bunch are always such fun..

last night thanks to a last minute organisational effort from sara, a few of the church bunch (amy, chap, cheuk, chris, karen, sara, myself) went to the korean bbq place at eastwood for a nice dinner with gelato afterwards at lello’s in macquarie

needless to say, dinner was a blast.. apart from the smell of the place which is unavoidable, lots of loud talking and hysterical laughter came from our table to the dismay of the restaurant owners and other diners.. interesting moments include chap crying over baz’s balls of rage and the endless hole-digging mostly by the two couples that were there..

comprehensive coverage can be found at chap’s blog or amy’s blog.. no need to double up..

i think we were making way too much noise.. the restaurant people had interesting ways of kicking us out.. when they had noticed that we weren’t eating anymore but still making noise, a waiter promptly sidled up behind our table and said ‘yes?’ as if we had called him over.. so we had to ask for the bill.. which of course we took ages to pay.. so long that they eventually turned music on to try to drown out our laughter.. so we got the hint and left them in peace..

then outside, after dinner (a more appropriate time), mention was made of a recent smh article about a guy who had his butt cheeks glued together and his nether regions glued to his abdomen by an ex-girlfriend.. and chap (who hadn’t heard this story before last night) and i stood keeled over in laughter outside eastwood hotel.. not one of the best places to be seen..

then came gelato at macquarie at which point cheuky and karen sadly had to leave.. chap and amy were 10 minutes late because apparently they had ‘parked their car very far away’ and had to walk from the restaurant.. right.. gelato was less loud than korean.. rocher flavour is so good, but only in small amounts - it tastes like an ice-cream version of the inside of a ferrero rocher (well, duh) but gets revolting after too much.. taro is great though.. but yes, more sad jokes between amy, chap, chris, sara and i..

so fun! haven’t laughed that hard for a while.. had to reach for my lifesaving puffer as well..

and then today in the morning for petra we had a great session on writing up our testimonies.. phil’s plan for writing out testimonies was very useful, got all the ‘necessary’ things in, in a logical order.. we were meant to watch a dvd with testimonies but alas it was never meant to be.. and then for service we continued going through 1 thes, doing the first part of chapter 5 today about how Jesus will return at unknown hour, and that the final judgement when he does will be unexpected and inescapable.. again reiterating the real need for our not-yet-Christian family and friends to know God’s grace..

and then we had lunch at macquarie after church.. that was also less loud than korean.. i think nothing can compare to the loudness of saturday night haha.. again (poor) chap was the subject of a bit of bagging out.. especially about his muscles and semi see-through t-shirt.. after which he stormed off and didn’t return for a while.. but when he did he was holding a box of wicked wings so i guess that explains the lengthy delay..

so these last few days have been pretty good.. again i’ve been giving myself a long break from studying after finishing a main set of notes for micro.. my gosh some lecturers suck so bad, naming no names until i graduate of course.. i guess it’s back to cramming tonight or tomorrow.. maybe tomorrow.. starcraft or half-life 2 tonight..

i snorted some rice earlier tonight as well.. eating too fast.. tomato fried rice with prawn bits is soooo good! now i’m paying for it by having a grain of rice lodged in my nasal cavity.. oh yay..
