Turning 30!!!!

Why O'why didn't I post about my birthday sooner! 

The details are already sketchy at best, but I have pictorial evidence of the following ... 

EATING 

(looks like Pani is going ghetto on someone in the background, common Pani that behaviour is only allowed in Gtown haha)

DRINKING

Why not have one drink, when one can have two.... well appears to be my motto of the night really

ENTERTAINING

(... The PA found this flyer which says Kitty Kat was going to be a headline act)

I chose to have the party at the Merrywell bar in Crown - I'd heard its a pretty relaxed venue, and its perfect for the boys (esp my brothers) who don't mind a punt. 

Anywho, the party turned out to be pretty funny- some awkward moments definitely did eventuate. At least this story I can tell... My friend raced over to me, we'll call her Marcia. Kat Kat, guess what.... Rod Stewart is here, Rod Stewart is here, get a camera, get a camera! I said (even in my drunken state), I don't think so buddy, but I collected the camera and off we went. We circle the bar area, until we approach this tiny dude, who really only had one feature that looked like rod, being the hair. I kept walking thinking, Marcia Marcia Marcia.... and I turn to see her full introducing herself to him asking him if he was Rod Stewart ... I just have her image in my head "Excuse me are you Rod Stewart, really are you?!" and he was just looking at her like she was a crazy person! HILARIOUS... Marcia can be quite awkward at the best of times but this one definitely takes the cake! 

I have got to say the staff at Merrywell were awesome, and made my party fantastic. David had everything covered, so shout out to him for doing a great job! The food was all delicious, and just so much of it! I know they are famous for their burgers so I got mini burgers, beef tacos, pork quesadilla, Vietnamese rolls and buffalo wings. They even brought out two huge birthday cupcakes as my birthday cake! Good thinking guys - I was just way to unorganised to get a cake.  

After a few more drinks, we ventured up to the dodgy clubs in crown. They were seriously crapola! and in my drunken state I ended up pashing on with some random dude, and to which I was told a few days later by the kiwi that I said to her at the time, I just kissed him to get rid of him. Yeah Kitty, who said alcohol doesn't impair your judgement? haha As the night was just reaching a whole new level of class, we all decided to call it quits, and ventured back to the hotel room. 

I was staying at Metropol again, basically because of its convenience  That said, it does lack in some areas, like bathroom privacy. From 9am Sunday morning I was sick, REALLY SICK! Put it this way, I'm sure my peeps were not impressed to wake up to "wahhhh I spewed on myself" -- but I'm pretty sure I just heard laughing. By midday I finally passed out, and woke up later in the day to find that everyone had left. I did have a note from Pani telling me she didn't want to wake me, and left me munchies for when I got my appetite back. That day felt like the longest ever! Haven't had a hangover like that for a LONG time! 

Meanwhile, I have stayed at Metropol a few times now, and I think I've done my dash with it. This is the view from Level 9 - pretty crappy to be honest. 

I must say that Jessica at the reception desk was so helpful, and moved me from a room for two, to a room for four, which was awesome. So Jessica, if your reading, good work!

All in all, I had an awesome time! So glad I decided to celebrate the night with family and friends and have a good laugh. Turning the big 3-0 ain't so bad afterall! 

PS - Looks like I had a thing for the selfie during the night... 

Enjoy peeps!!! xxx

Kitty goes Metropol

Happy Easter Everyone! 

I'm in a little bit of a daze...  so this post is going to be pretty picture heavy. But hey, I figure you'd appreciate the less reading as the long weekend winds up. 

Pani and I went to Crown Metropol last night. This was our room....

Queen beds... with pillow overload yay! 

Bathroom, which has sliding doors for privacy. 

The view... yep, not that impressive. The boring side of the city. Nevertheless, still pretty with all the lights happening at night. 

After the thrill of getting to our room, we wandered down to crown for a bite to eat, and again, we received a bottle of champas and chocolates. I'm starting to think people really do think we are a couple haha! 

We lazed around, and started to get ready for a night out. I really lathered myself up in bronzer and tanning product, I literally was glowing! I found this rather amusing as this is usually Pani's terrain. 

Unashamble selfie! Look theres no denying I love this dress! (Care of Witchery sales rack - how this got to be a sale item I don't know!) How many wears can I get out of something before its too much!?

Pani's going to kill me, but had to post this. YEP I think someone was enjoying the vodka hehe

Poserssssss!

I used my benefit smokin' eyes kit. Look for a novice like me, its pretty awesome. Click here to check it out!

Okay so the night in short.....

We started off wandering through Crown all dressed up, ready to find where the action is happening! So we go to Merrywell, NOBODY there! Hrmm, well this isn't a good sign. So we walk through the gaming area where we literally felt everyones eyes turn to us. We must have been way overdressed and out of place haha.. so we thought, Flinders Lane, something will be happening there surely! Turns out, there wasn't! 

Cut a lot of rambling short, we ended up back in Crown, paying $30 to get into the dodgiest clubs going around! It ended up just being flat out hilarious. We got on the dance floor at one of the clubs and we were flocked with randoms, which made me feel so uncomfortable. Then this random guy grabbed me by the hand and dragged me to the middle of the dance floor. The music was rnb and believe me he was ready to do a bit of bumpin and grindin hahah He kept saying, your shy your shy, well yes I am, so STOP trying to grab at me! This is not the way to lure your meat in I tells ya haha.. Thank goodness Pani was there to rush on in and save me. Her saving skills are awesome haha 

After our little boogie, we wandered back down to the gaming area, and a bunch of guys asked us to help them get into the clubs upstairs. I really felt for them, I mean nobody was up in those clubs, and they rejected them. I found that so wrong. But hey, when a girls feet hurt, every unnecessary step is a struggle so we left them. I hope they got up there! 

I'd love to stay at Metrolpol again, probably at a time that isn't school holidays where kids are all let loose at the pool area. We wandered up to the pool to find there was no room as the kids had taken it all up haha. Not that it phased us, we had some drinking to do!

Maxin' and Relaxin'

Hey all,

Hope your having a good weekend! 

I must say I am pretty impressed with myself for making home made strawberry jam. This stuff tastes unbelievable! but talk about sugar high... this stuff is not for the weak! Perfect start to my Sunday! 

I finally think I have got this flu thing under control. I got into work on Thursday and realised I really shouldn't have been there and went straight to the doctor! Probably should of done this from the start but I hate seeing the doctor! ... Its not the doctor as such, its the waiting room that puts me off. No matter where you go there seems to be some weirdo causing trouble. Thursday I fluked getting an appointment just as I walked in as someone had cancelled, however there was a child there shrieking incessantly about " I want to see bla bla" ... okay buddy you wanna see you mate, but can you please calm the hell down! Thank goodness I only had a 10 minute wait!

Anyway the doctor sent me home and I managed to occupy my time with lots of napping and relaxing. I feel much better for it I must say. By Friday afternoon my fever had gone and I thought I would venture out in the evening to visit the parental's who were staying at Crown Metropol.

When I got to Metropol I rang Dad to tell him I was in the foyer only to realise I was in the wrong place --- Crown Promenade.... awkward! Then I totally got disorientated and did this massive circle to track down Metropol.... Seriously what the hell! I usually have a good sense of direction! (Mez, do you still want to attempt doing the amazing race with me after that ha ha) Anyway I have got to stay there! Perfect for a girls weekend with the day spa and the hot baths that overlooked the city! I was amazed by this... Maybe I need to get out more! Have you stayed there? What did you think?

We went to The Atlantic for dinner in Crown which was damn good. I am a massive seafood fan so I was happy to chow down on these delights!

Could not decide! ....

Oysters were certainly demolished by all! 

My main ... Prawns! You cannot go wrong. 

Dessert - Some strawberries and cream stack = deliciousness 

I am looking forward to next weekend already. I am sick of plodding around at home... there are only so many times one can paint nails! I have a work party on Friday night which will be enhanced with their decision to supply the masses with Moscato (HORRAY!) 

Pani is coming to stay with me Sat night and we plan to have a proper girls night out (touch wood the rain stays away but I'm not counting on it). I feel the need to create some delicious cocktails .... honestly the sweeter the better! Any ideas? (We do not have a sophisticated pallet ha ha)
