Coromandel Road Trip. That's my last weekend's highlight.

Just found out I haven't actually mentioned it. An update on my weekly outing is inevitable for those of you who actually bother to read my blog on a regular basis.

Here it goes:

Friday:
Started off slowly. Was supposed to have a few drinks with colleagues at The Drake but got a phone call from Jacq cos her car's got towed away. So basically after work had a shower then I went straight to New Market to pick her up. Got her car released at the nearby tow yard. freakin fifty bucks! at least it's much better than my 200 bucks a few months back.

so she got it released then we went downtown to meet up with MayH at Toto's for her ex-company's Xmas function. Bloody big company I should say (oh i randomly met Antonia there, she was like, 'Kev you're like everywhere!' .... am i??). Free wines, beers and juice. got ourselves well 'fed' with the free stuff while waiting for Miho. By the time she arrived it was probably 9.30pm. so we headed off to some jap restaurant near quay st (don't ask me what it's called cos i have no recollection of the name) and met up with Ken and Palni. A few sake shots followed and we walked to some pub called 'Steamship' blah blah blah (again, don't ask methe name) to meet up with Doreen. She was obviously gone by then since she can't even remember that we were there that evening.

Around 11pm we came home. Met up with Yan and got ourselves a tequila shot before we headed to Studio for 'Oxygen'. Probably I was tired that evening so I didnt' really enjoy it that much . (met up with JasonN and FBian/SuAnn) Came home at about 4am.

Saturday:
Woke up at 9am. Showered and dragged myself to buy some McD breakfast on GNR. It took half an hour to order the whole bulk of breakfast to cater for around 5 ppl. Bloody restaurant. Somehow they made a mistake and never really knew how to deal with it. The manager kept apologising and promised to get a replacement meal for me which I was in the end given the wrong set of meals. MF***! 5 hot chocolates became 5 white coffee! and one less hash brown. my god. .... at least the breakfast kept me awake!

but I wasn't the one driving to Coromandel. Jeng was at the wheel for the first part of it while I was sleeping at the back. haha. all because of a late night on Friday. But it was one of the best sleeps ever. The participants of the trip were: Jeng, Carol, Me and May in one car and Warren, Nick, Kenny and Yan in another one. Stopped at Thames for another McD lunch before we continued our journey to the Hot Water Beach. It was a winding road. I liked it cos straight roads are more dangerous. That's what I reckon. Don't you think so?

Reached there around 3.30pm and spent about 2 hrs at the beach just relaxing. I was in fact really relaxing: had a gooooood sleep as I didn't remember anything throughout my nap. They were actually having fun posing in front of cameras and making candid and action-packed shots. Photos will be up soon.

Left the place and off we went to Thames again for, again, McD. McD's the saviour as we didn't bring any food at all. No planning is good planning as we didn't get ourselves stressed out.

Reached Auckland around 9pm and stopped by in Howick for Chinese food. Sent May home in Henderson before I rejoined the people at Orange for pool. Pretty long and tiring night and the night ended for me at 2am.

Sunday:
Woke up by 8am for Airport to see off Blasius from Christchurch who was leaving for Malaysia. Brief catch up is better than no catching up at all. Went to church at 11am. Viewed a Parnell house at 12.15pm and joined the group for karaoke at K-Box. Not that much fun as a matter of fact. Probably I arrived late and most people left way before 3pm leaving me and Kenny terrorising the room!

The weekend ended with a DVD 'Click' with some photo swapping sessions in the background.....

Busy but accomplished weekend.

ACG. In the making. Phuck Yeah.
