Friday night:Catherine's Birthday Dinner

There's the birthday girl, she doesnt look a day over 18 :D. oh wait...did I say that wrong?

Milly and I caught the train together to Cath's dinner. Who knew the city would look so different at night? We both go lost, well confused really when we got out of the train station. All the signs we went past said "Pitt St this way" we followed the signs and we ended up on George st (unknowingly at the time). What the heck? Rang Catherine for directions, though that was complicated when we were both "opposite the Hilon Hotel", so why couldnt we see each other? and why on earth does the city have a McDonald's on EVERY STREET?! Milly and I took turns calling Catherine, So funny when Milly called there would be all this noise -traffic, sirens, even a man playing the bag pipes (who knew those things were THAT loud), so funny. We did eventually find Catherine who was shocked to how we couldnt find our way (the signs did say "this way" gah! never trust signs again (oh and it turns out we went out on the wrong side of the train station)).

Followed Catherine to this Japanese/Korean restaurant where we'd meet Catherine's new friends (since she left us old ones :P). Me and Millz didnt exactly mingle with Cath's new buddies, though it was kinda hard when you have no idea what they're on about. but they did seem like a great bunch of people, maybe we just needed a lil more time to get to know each other.

Stupidly I ate before I came to Catherine's dinner, I know, stupid stupid STUPID but I hadnt eaten all day and all I bought was a Cheese and Bacon roll. So come dinner time I couldnt finsh my food, wah! so wasteful, I had so much left, I felt so bad :S. After dinner was over we parted ways, Cath and two of her friends were maybe heading to a bar (and now that I know Catherine reads my blogs- send me photos if you got drunk of your face that night :P). Milly and I decided to wonder about the city a lil more before we headed home. Milly bought some Starburst lollies (she doesnt admit, but I say she's addicted to those things :P) I bought a Kinder Surprise chocolate, $2.50 it was, so darn expensive but I wanted it! they had a Simpsons toy in em, I got Lisa (I wanted Marge and Maggie though, d'oh!).

Side note- Im beginning to like buying Blind toy boxes (the sort where you dont know what you'll get until you buy it and open it) so that may explain why I bought the Kinder Surprise (I didnt really want the chocolate). Too bad there aint a lot of places (that I know of) who sells the sort that I want. I bought a few from Supanova (photos on my Myspace). I could always buy them off the interweb but its not fun when someone else does the random picking for you.

So anyways, Milly and I took some Capitol photos and then headed to the train station, where those tv screens that display how long it would be till the next train came was on the fritz. We had no idea how long we'd be waiting for our train (first it said it was 38mins, then 44mins, then 3mins and then 13mins. which is it?!). But the train did arrive sooner than we expected so all was good. Milly's dad drove Milly home from the train station while my mum, my aunt and my lil sister walked all the way to the train station to pick me up (aw...).
