Company Xmas Dinner @ Roxby Thai

Well, tonight was the long awaited company Xmas dinner. Last year we got invited to Cervantes for a weekend but this year due to time limitations, we've stayed down in Perth and got Thai food!! It was not bad at all!!!! And the restaurant was also very nicely decorated. It was jam-packed!! Not bad for a restaurant in the middle of an industrial place!!

It was funny because the restaurant owner is actually a friend of my boss.. for more than 20 years!!! And the plates we used were all from our company. EXCEPT for the side plate so at one stage, our boss just threw the plate onto the floor - and it didn't break!!! Poor waitress, had no idea what was happening.. had to go and pick it up.. she probably thought we were the rudest bunch ever! =P

Got there about 6... started drink and didn't stop until 8.. coz I drove so gotta be responsible! So drank lotsa water and ate lotsa food =) The food was delicious! Bellissimo!!! We had good chats, caught up with other people's spouses we met from Cervantes. It was all good fun. As usual, I went around taking heaps of photos!!! For more photos, go to snowball80.multiply.com! We also had Christmas Crackers each so we all made a huge mess and noise. Pretty decent things came out of that too!! Aside from a plastic green & red Christmas crowns, there were also mini-yo yo, pen key chain and what was coolest was a mini-nail clipper!!!! Totally awesome hehe

When it was dessert time, our operations manager dressed up at Santa and gave our the Xmas Kringle pressies. The boss was the elf (or helper) hehe It was sooo cute hehe The presents were DECENT presents!! We had to buy stuff under $20 and for that I think everyone did VERY well! No crappy stuff at all! It was so cute because the rest room was actually quite a bit of a walk to our private room, so when the manager got changed the boss just took off and left him in the rest room. Luckily, the manager's wife came back to the room and said "You left poor Michael to walk ALL the way into the room dressed like that?? You need to walk WITH him!!" Hence the photo hehe So funnny!

One more week left of work (woo hoo!) and then it's Christmas Break!! So exciting =) We're going to finish a bit earlier on Friday and have drinks (again). I tell you, this company is training me in my alcochol tolerance level! =P My mum was actually worried that I was turning into an alcoholic!! What the!?! haha!

Ok, it's bed time, have to wake up early to pick up dad from air port.. and have youth group BBQ during the day... mannnnnnn too packed!! My precious sleep @_@
