buffet birthday celebrations

Last night, my family went out to celebrate my sister's birthday. We decided to have a buffet dinner at Stamford Grand in North Ryde...the seafood was excellent! my favourite was the seafood curry- which included pipis, prawns, scallops etc...they also had a very nice crab and sweetcorn soup as well as the cold section including fresh prawns, lobsters and oysters!!


me and bea & dad and mum


the hotel & yummy dessert!

it would've been a perfect evening except for one thing: a couple of minutes after we were shown to our table, the head waiter (black suit, nerdy looking) comes up to us and asks us if anyone had shown us in! how rude! as if we would walk in and plonk ourselves down?! it was rather insulting....so we wrote a nice little comment back to the hotel on their "how was your dining experience" comment card expressing our indignation at such lowly treatment....

what is with people these days?

me and bea were having a nap in the car while mum and dad went shopping, when all of a sudden- crash! i woke up thinking someone had hit our car! and i wasn't half wrong. the big four wheel drive on our right had almost knocked our mirror off while trying to park. I got out of the car, and the stocky middle-eastern looking man came around and without even apologising, said to me- "you parked too damn close!" then, he shoved the mirror back together and walked off. i've never been affronted with such rudeness (well, besides last night)! i think i've been very protected for most of my life that's why.... and frankly, if people like him are out there in the world, i'm not really sure i want to leave the comfort and safety of my home!

onto better news....i'm having a barbeque tomorrow!!!!! yay!!!! hopefully the weather will hold up....mmm chicken wings....sausages....(btw- i asked my mum, and she said frankfurts were pork! HAHA!) ooh i'm drooling already....
