thanks to charmaine, 16 of us had a wonderful dinner at crown casino's koko japanese restaurant. it's been a while since i've had such nice food, in a such nice place! there was a lot of variety, from pickled sprouts, sashimi and chawanmushi for the appetisers to seafood and teppenyaki steak, perfectly done.
jin, this korean guy studying in a similar course, and i drank tons of alcohol! but we did feel a little bad, because charmaine was treating the whole lot of us to the entire dinner so we decided to chip in for the drinks. never seen anyone splurge that much on a birthday party (a non-21 birthday party!). we had 2 bottles of sake and a 720ml bottle of umeshu plum wine. this was just between the two of us! we could drink lots more, but our student budgets told us otherwise.
of course this is australia after all; there's always room for some alcohol somewhere. went back to college square 2 for more drinks and chatter. i learnt a new drink trick of sorts, quite embarrassing as it seemed like everyone knew it: pour a shot of sambuca, dip your finger in it, light finger on fire, suck on sweet goodness that is warm sambuca (plus awesome effect of burning finger) and pop the shot. playing with fire. it's an innocent way to get drunk yes?
terrence (the self-proclaimed alcoholic) got pretty drunk again anyway so i had to send him back to his house with didi. had the most awkward car ride ever, before i decided to call it early.
and guess what? i got home and drank more plum wine. mmm :)
