We miss Kittypie:

Saturday night was meant to be a nice steak dinner at the Pennant Hills Inn with Amila, Khris and Malisha but sports kind of ruined the whole thing.
The cricket final between Sri Lanka and Australia was looming at 11pm and Mal was too busy preparing the house for a cricket party with the two tvs set up for watching what ended up being a losing battle (2 hours delayed due to rain too). There was also some kind of football game going on during dinner time which brought in the annoying/smoking/loud/obnoxious people at the pub so we definitely weren’t sticking around there. We ended up walking to Eastern City Chinese on Hillcrest Road (they also do daily yum-cha between 11-3 if anybodys interested). We didn’t take the camera unfortunately since we were walking and we’ve swapped the small camera for the big heavy one but here is what we had to eat:
If there was another person I would’ve recommended the Shredded Beef Peking Style that Annabelle ordered for dinner the other day. Its sweet but really nice if you get it fresh and hot.

Bought a new washing machine from Kmart because it was way too much effort taking all our washing all the way to Cherrybrook to get washed…..the downside is my mum won’t fold the clothes for us and leave in a basket to pick up anymore but the upside is we can wash what we need when we need and if its an emergency we can chuck it in our dryer straight away or just hang it out in the designated hanging area. We’re not allowed to hang up our washing on the balconies so they’ve set up specific spots for us to hang up washing, nothings been stolen yet so its all good so far! Andy is really enjoying it at the moment, its his new favourite toy.

On April the 20th of April we went out for a early birthday dinner for Andrew (Fernando! - my dad). We (Andy, Me, My Mum – Mala, Dad – Andrew, Sister – Malisha, Brother – Amila and Sister-in-law Khristine) went to the pizza place in Oakhill Drive Village which is near the public school where me and Malisha went and a few streets away from the house so it was a nice familiar place to go. (Oakhill Drive also has an awesome old fashioned lolly shop if you ever feel like buying sherbett and candy necklaces). Anyhoo we had some nice pizzas and some good pasta, prawns seem to be their speciality.
Hey everybody,
We’ve just been hanging out, enjoying life as per usual….
Here we are enjoying steak night at the Pennant Hills Inn:

A big thankyou to Rhea, Aaron, Simmy and Jonathon for donating to Andy’s poker night cause :p Aaron and Sumali were out early, followed by Jonathon, then Simmy. Rhea got very close to winning but it ended up being Andy that won in the end. We’re hoping you come back!
We has a flash slideshow with a disco theme from Photobucket here but it was really annoying so here’s a link to it instead.
Woohoo!
I have finally been invited to be an admin on my games server! Its awesome and sweet and just plain excellent!

After I managed to tear excited Andy away from the computer (which was hard after his whole "Admin"ship) we went out to dinner at our favourite (so far) Thai restaurant "Gail Thai" located a few streets away from our apartment in Central Avenue. We love it because we always find the last parking spot left, its BYO and hardly anybody else eats there which is a real shame because their Gaeng Massuman Lamb is fantastic (sweet curry mildly spiced with peanuts and potatoes). Perhaps their free home delivery for orders over $30 is their main source of income? Anyhoo it was a nice night out.

Saturday was a pretty busy day for us. We ended up going to Towers to do some shopping after doing some washing. We checked out what movies there were and ended up seeing Disturbia (which Andy will write about later), then we walked around shopping, picked up my new leather jackets (red and pink yay!) and for lunch we had Yum Cha up at the Phoenix chinese restaurant which had great service as usual and the usual variety of yum cha.
After that we had to hop step it and get our apartment ready for a dinner party for my family: Mum, Dad, Malisha, Amila and Khris. I did the vacuuming and salad and Andy did the Pasta and Garlic Bread and pretty much everything else. We ran out of spices so I had to drive really quickly to the nearby shopping centre and pick up some supplies. As soon as everybody arrived we ate because the food was ready to be served, Andy did very well. For drinks my mum brought some pineapple cruisers, Amila and Khris brought their red wine and me and Andy had our Muscatto:
Check out all the family dinner pictures here.
Hi peoples, thankyou for visiting! We haven’t had much time to get this totally working yet so please note: THERE ARE A LOT MORE PHOTOS COMING!!! There will also be some videos of the apartment coming soon and i’ll be setting up links to the RSS feed. This will all be as soon as we’ve got ourselves sorted out. In the meantime feel free to read the few posts we do have and check out our growing Flickr album and out Photobucket Album and don’t forget to vote in our latest poll (on the sidebar further down the page).

After veggin out on the sofa watching tv (Harry Potter) on a Thursday night, we decided we’d best do something so dinner at Hogs Breath Cafe it was.
Castle Towers Piazza level 5 is host to one of the nicest (and expensive) steak places in town.
I had a steak and ribs combo and Andy had a mixed platter thingy. I decided mine was the best and Andy decided his was better so I guess we each ordered the best thing. The steak was nice but they forgot my pepper sauce, it took them a while but they finally got it to me after i’d eaten everything else on the plate. Luckily i’m not fussy about stuff like that……
