Alright boys and girls? I've not been able to blog the past few days due to my trying to get over the big weekend just past. Friday, the day I turned 25 was brilliant. I had the honour of celebrating with a couple of my mates in Spore. I drank lots of good wine before finding myself at Zouk, drinking too many shots and attempting to dance without falling over. I can't actually tell you if Sandy Rivera (the guest dj) was good. I just know that I had enough trouble as it was trying not to be sick. Anyhow, to cut a long story short, there was a bit of drunken drama between Zouk and breakfast. I shan't go into any detail here but let's just say that being interrogated over breakfast on a hangover the size of Greater Mongolia (and a severe lack of sleep) is not at all pleasant and not the best way to enter 25...lunch on saturday with my grandparents was pleasant enough. We went to what's probably my favourite Italian restaurant in The Pore, PREGO. Turning up with my face all pink and still feeling slightly tipsy meant that I was only able to stomach half a pizza (covered with smoked swordfish....yumyumyum!) and a glass of coke. Operating the knife and fork was most difficult let me assure you! it was a celebration for my grandma as well; her birthday is tomorrow...bless her : )
Anyhow, to stop beating around the bush, I just want to thank everybody who turned up, everybody who sent me birthday wishes, everybody who called me up from overseas, everybody who took it upon themselves to get me drunk.....it was brilliant and it's left me wanting to take a weeklong break from booze. I think I really do need it. My complexion has gone to the dogs again and my liver is still reeling from last Friday!! In the mean time, here are some photos from the past few weeks. You'll see one with me (looking well tramp-like) and 4 of my mates from Scotland (one of the 4 is a fellow anthropologist as well, hurray!), one of Dj Marky trying to feel his headphone (he has got to be one of my favourite djs ever!) and one of me attempting to blow out the candles on my wee birthday cake (thanks Val and Nick for the cake, I love you guys!) but kind of finding the entire process quite hilarious instead (note the excited expressions on my mates behind me!)....Enjoy!
