Big weekend this weekend. No riding at all, too much food and I’m absolutely wasted right now after going through a bottle of good stuff solo (too drunk to sleep lol).
Suga and I ate at Kelly’s Grill at Bondi Junction on Friday night. I only wanted to eat ribs as I’d been craving Hurricanes lately but to our surprise Kelly’s ribs were jucier and tastier that any ribs I’d ever eaten. w00t! For the first few minutes I felt a bit guilty for eating the meat with my hands as the ladies on the table to the left of me were daintily cutting their steaks with their knives and forks, and the romantic couple on the table right of me were trying to look good whilst chewing their food, but after a while I just bogged in hard. Felt great, man, meat, monster, animal. Good. We watched Tropic Thunder at the cinema after the meal, and whilst I was balling for the first 5 minutes, the rest of the movie just failed to surpass the ribs.
Saturday night was nuts. We were invited over to Nanami and Shaun’s place for dinner and we also had a burlesque party to go to afterwards (Janice, one of Christina’s work friends B’day party). It had been raing hard all day, it was fucking freezing as we waited for over 15 minutes for a bus into the city (would be easier if they just let us drink and drive?).
Thanks God then that Nanami’s place was warm, funnily enough it’s the same apartment that I used to live in a fair few years ago. In the picture L2R: Shaun, Richie, Christina, Kellie, Christian (my brother from another mother) and Nanami.

As great as the conversation and Arthurs Pizza was, not to mention a tempting invite to stay and watch The Karate Kid again on DVD (Sweep the Leg Johnny!) Suga and I bailed out to go to Janice’s party.

Sugaaaaaaah.
Sunday: Fathers day is now split (same goes for Xmas, or any other family occassion) between Suga’s family + my family. I spent lunch with Suga’s family today. Suga’s mum founded the Chinese Parents Association (CPA). The CPA’s a non-profit, charitable incorporated organisation which aims to help children and adults with disabilities especially those of Chinese origin to realise their full potential as well as to promote the needs, rights and well-being of people with disabilities and their families.
I had no idea Christina’s mum was the brainchild of such a massive project. The CPA had it’s 20th anniverary in Bankstown (at a wedding reception building in Bankstown, lol so hardcore) and she was literally greeted with tears and lots of love upon entry. She was praised in speeches and even invited to make a speech. I’m so proud of her!

The directors + the kids who performed dances (to Brittney Spears no less) and played music (funny but super cool).

Then it was off to visit my Dad and have dinner at mums.
