First time after such a long time....

I left the house yesterday at 2.30 pm. It is now Sunday 12.45pm and I just got back not long ago.

Yesterday was the first time after such a long time since I had such a great time. The last time was back in July when we were playing board games at Yin and Shaun's place back in Auckland. 

It was Carlo's housewarming yesterday as he moved in to his new place in Parramatta just a few weeks ago. I was a bit hesitant to go out yesterday. It was raining and I thought I can give the excuse that it was raining and I don't feel like going. Main reason was because I didn't know anyone except the him. I was thinking I'm going to be bored as I don't really like mixing around much. Just lazy. But now, I am not regretting a single bit and I am so glad I went.

 The hosts

Reached his place at about 4-ish and met his housemates - craig and alan, alan's gf, vanessa and two other people i don't remember what their name were. Haha! All except vanessa were previously from Auckland as well. They have already started drinking since 2. Lol! Had my bacardi breezer and chat with Vanessa who was pretty easy-going and easy to talk to. Played Wii and caught up with Carlo as I haven't met him since November. He gave me a tour of his new place. The place is kept so clean it was hard to believe it's an all guys apartment. Lol! It is at the very top floor and they call it the penthouse unit. Living the high life as what he claimed. They have their own personal BBQ space at the rooftop which was simply impressive. Too bad it was raining orelse the party would have been there. 

Yummmyyyy!!!! they were quite addictive....

Came 6pm, more and more people showed up. Prior to that, I was already given 1 bacardi breezer, two jello shots, and 1 punch. I guess in a good way, it made me more out-going and mixed around more and talked to strangers. Started feeding myself with meat pies, wedges, chicken and chips to bring my heart rate down. Majority of the people were previously from Auckland. Majority filipinos and indians. It's amazing to see so many moving from Auckland to Sydney. Met three girls - two taiwanese and a japanese who weren't from Auckland. Asked how they knew Carlo and apparently they met on the bus when Carlo first arrived Sydney and was asking for directions and they became friends. Lol!! Too random! Carlo o carlo, picking up chics on the bus right away. Lol! Then talked to another person from auckland and found out they met at IC level 0 in a pretty random way too. They were sitting on the same table and they greeted each other and asked each other if they were filipinos and then.... that's how they met. I still find the bus one the most interesting. Hahaha!! 

Talked to a few more people that I don't even remember their name. One of Carlo's workmate made really nice cocktails but then left quite early. I drank half of mine and then left it on the table and when I got back, it was gone :( I think quite a few people got quite tipsy and it was so funny just watching them. Thank goodness it was funny drunk and not aggressive drunk. Soon, the science-ish stuff came up. 

Using a feeding bag that's usually used in hospitals for patients who can't eat by mouth to transfer shots to test tubes. I guess that's what you get when one host is a medical engineer and the another one being a chemical engineer. Lol!! The thought of it sounds a bit disgusting but if you think about it, the bag is actually very clean as it's sterile. I just hope those test tubes are new :S

Throughout the night, drinks were just put into my hand non-stop. Had another bacardi, another fruit punch, 4 more jello shots and god knows how many test tubes. Lol! This is the most I've drank after awhile but I felt completely well after all the greasy food. Craig, who was already half tipsy when I reached at 4 was pretty wasted at night. He wanted to get the japanese and taiwanese girls drunk but when they refused his shots, he just drank them himself. He was going around hugging people. Too funny as when we asked him this morning, he doesn't remember a single thing. Carlo was also pretty tipsy and it was funny because all these while, I've only seem him playing sports. He was making the drinks to put into the feeding bag. One time it was nearly all vodka, wine and a little apple juice. Another round was just apple juice and water. He didn't even know. Until this morning when a few of us actually mentioned we drank a round of just diluted apple juice. Haha!

Played Wii Fit throughout the night, chit chat and got carried away as I missed my last train back to the city. Wanted to catch the bus but as I will be the only one on the bus as it was 1 in the morning, Carlo made me stay the night along with a few others who were not sober enough to drive back. He was so nice as I got his room all to myself whereas the others were sleeping in the living room on the couch. It's always good to be the young one and a girl :D 

Had a pretty good sleep last night but woke up at 7. We all helped to clean up the place and then went for big  breakfast and had a good laugh on last night. All in all, last night was awesome and I enjoyed myself despite not knowing anyone. I went there only knowing 1 person and left knowing at least 7 more. 

And so, somehow, I figured, I still bond better with people from Auckland compared to Sydney, irregardless if they are Malaysians or not. And so, I still miss Auckland :p. But at least, I like Sydney last night. Hehehe....

4 day working week ahead!!!!!
