In bike news, the SE Lager is finally fixed and I’m finally getting my head around it. Here’s a little clip of me attempting a track stand on Day 1 (not the most exciting thing to be watching though!). I managed to try it a few more times during the weekend and I’ve got them nailed now and averaging about 5 minutes each time. I’m on to pedalling backwards now :)

I’ve also managed to flare up the little kids on Farkin again. A few of them don’t believe the bike is fixed in the video above. So funny as there’s no way I could track stand for that long on a non-fixed bike without using brakes (which I’m clearly not using in the clip). Cracks me up (a lot). I love it.

Huge weekend of booze this weekend. Bender plus!

Friday night was my sisters 30th which was at Wagaya (whoo hoo I love Wagaya). She booked a private room which was awesome, shoes off, sunken table, DVD/CD player and plasma screen, 2 ordering screens and BYO booze! We cabbed it in for a change, that was a good move despite feeling sick because of the cab ride home (why do they always have to drive like that?!). Was a great night!

On Sat night one of Suga’s friends Gen came around for dinner, it ended up being another bender with drinking until 2.30AM in the morning. At some stage we turned on the TV and watched music clips on [V], this Beyonce clip came on, blew me away (ok I was smashed). It’s hot!

Little Chloe checking out Tony’s ADA tank.

Sunday was Christina’s Gramdma’s B’day. Huge feast as usual. Check out her Dad’s ADA tank, it’s looking great huh?! I loved how little Chloe was checking it out, that’s what fish tanks are all about! :)

Mad propz to HK Fixed for the plug. How I love their blog.

My sister turned 30 today, we headed to longrain for lunch with the family (her mates party will be at Wagaya tomorrow night, that’ll be killer!). Food was as awesome as I remembered it from when it first opened. “Wow! It’s like having Thai for the first time!”. Why can’t all Thai restaurants lift their game?!

Cleanest food tank you’ll ever see (poor Barra!).

This monster was parked outside, seen a few different iconic cars promoting beers lately.

WOW!

She’s MINE!!!

1st ride with my new lights. More pics and info here.

My Alba chop is picture of the day at DAN.GEROUS.NET (LOVE your work Dan! :)).

I just got to interview Sam Hill (he finally replied!). Interview is now up on BMU!

Christina and I did more nesting this weekend (hehe). Valentines day rules out any riding in any case, not to mention the crappy weather.

On Saturday we checked out the plethora of designery interior shops in Surry Hills. Rugs at $4,000, lamp shades at $750 (on sale too). Hey we didn’t buy any of it but it’s always nice to drool and dream.

We caught up with my good mate Liz (Happy B’day Liz!) and she took us to The Book Kitchen in Surry Hills, an awesome little cafe that reminded me a lot of Melbourne.

Suga and Liz.

Oven baked Spanish eggs!

The day was pretty successful as we scored an Aeron chair for Christina from Living Edge who really looked after us on the price, and a nice little bin too (slowly but surely!). The Ikea desk is already bowing in the centre so I’ll be refunding that this week.

Speaking of Valentines Day: I had no fucking idea what Valentines is all about. I asked Chrisinta and she said something along the lines of “you know, St Valentines?” and that was the extent of it. Liz said the same thing. I did some Google on it and there were a lot of references to this St. Valentines, and apparently many saints were called Saint Valentine back then, it’s all a bit confusing (the info that is) but I gather that it’s got something to do with some nice saint who helped to pass on love letters between two people who weren’t meant to be seeing each other, or something like that (now it’s sounding like Romeo and Juliet?!).

Anyways, Suga and I are falling into this pattern where one of us drives, and the other gets drunk. So for Valentines we booked in to our local restaurant, the Pool Cafe, we walked there and after a great meal and nice bottle of Momo (NZ wine!) we stumbled home. Perfect!
