Browns & Goldbrick House.A few of us gathered for a nice dinner a week back. Original aim was to get Susian to dine at Zero Degrees *whispers* she's not been there before!! But it was crowded and thus we went to some nice homely Italian Restaurant which was pretty good. The highlight of course, with Happybob's recommendation, was dessert at Browns. OOoooh so yummy yummy!!!
We had like a dessert each, which doesn't sound like a lot, but only Bob and Meishi managed to finish theirs. We had three orders of the Sticky Toffee Pudding, one Brownie topped with ice cream and a Apple Pie.
Haha I don't know, but this photo looks rather diplomatic, like one of those official-must-take photographs. Whatever lahh.
So there's evidence as to who's the BEST eater (or rather, has the best appetite - must be sensitive lahh huh). Check this out and decide for yourself. Hehe.
And the winner is ______ (fill in the blanks)

MSSA held their final social event at Goldbrick House. It was really really fun!!! I'm proud to be part of it!! A big shout out to Arvin for being a fantastic guitarist AND singer. These things just make Uni life a little better, a little more pleasant. =)
So Arv and I opened the first set with the usual numbers. High and Dry, Baby It's A Wild World amongst many other familiar tunes. The set included oldies such as Hey Jude, Knockin' On Heavens Door and Oasis' Stand By Me. The audience weren't really all that warmed up yet, so it was a little awkward. Haha.
From top left: Jenny with 'Fields of Gold', Alex with 'Chasing Cars' and 'Can't Take My Eyes Off You', Soraya with 'Crazy' and 'I'm Yours' and Weijen and Gavin with 'How To Save A Life'.
Anyways other performers included Josh with his David Tao rendition of 'Yue Liang Dai Biao Shui De Xin' and Jolie with a Cantonese Song. Sorry ahh, can't remember the title! But she has a good voice!!
And so Alex wore the AC badge which made me very very proud!! AC pride. Simply unrivaled. A photo with Alvis. (Missing: many many more AC boys in the house!)
This photo didn't turn out very well, so had to add some effects to make it look .. erm .. better I guess. The place had nice big sofas to rest and have cocktails. So good! Am holding a Double Chocolate Expresso Martini. Something like that I think.
Love this shot! Taken by a distinguished photographer.
Dan, Gavin, Josh, Alex.
Arv and I wrapped up the evening with an impromptu version of 'This Love' by Maroon Five. It was okay lahh. All in all, a fantabulous evening. =) =) =)

Easter's Coming Up!It's a good and bad thing actually. That means that I've got less than three weeks to complete my FYP. Also, I've received my coursework for Company and am waiting for my second medical coursework to come out. Oh yes, medical results on Monday afternoon! Scared! But it's good cos' Malta is on the way, Munich to follow and Switzerland after!! Will get to see Wendy as well!!! So it's all good eventually, just gotta get by the next few weeks!
It's been a pretty good week. Suzzie pok finally received her present from the few of us. Ermm we surprised her by putting the present outside her room so that she would be pleasantly surprised the next morning BUT she sort of tripped on it and ended up knocking her head against the door. Don't ask me how it happened. It just did. OH WELL.
It was Josh's and Arvin's and many others combined birthday bash last night! Had a really nice dinner with the usual crew at Antix before the rest joined for drinks (many) after.
The food was decently priced and the wine was nice. I'm beginning to enjoy these large dinners. I guess it's a bit of nostalgia given how it's goodbye in a couple of month's time. SO. It was great nonetheless.
The REAL party started after that. We proceeded upstairs (which Josh so kindly booked) for drinks. And as usual, many many pictures resulted.
What more can I say? These people make Bristol so much more pleasant!
I think we were trying to do a series of different shots. I can't quite remember what this was. ANYWAYS.
Nice photo of Meishi and Happybob.
Don't ask me why. I think people just bully me. BOO. Well I can understand why Vic would, given how she had to sing a Christmas song for me. Only cos' she was nice! HEH.
On a completely random note, I witnessed a lunar eclipse tonight! I spent about 15 mins trying to read up on what it actually was. These things are complicated. But here's a pictorial explanation. =)
On another completely random note, I was going through some old songs a few nights back and this song came to mind!! It's by Damage, who sang 'Forever'. Fantastic lyrics!!
Okay for all you lovebirds out there, remember this!!
'Cus this is a world where lovers often go astray
But if we love each other we won't go, won't go that way that way
So put your doubts aside, do what it takes to make it right
Coz I'll love you forever, no one can tear us apart'
Dearest Wendy, I miss the times we were 'walking jukeboxes', remember OBS? You churned out the lyrics and I the music. Those were GREAT times. Can't wait to be back where we can do that again!! *hugs*
