not going to ruin the storyline so watch it.. quite a cute movie :)

2 farewells and a pub crawl with a difference


2 guys from my team are leaving us to go overseas for work :(

hehe one dude whos good friends with them decided to do a pub crawl for their farewell.. hehe definately different.. it sounds more like a bucks night to me :P .. i think it was probably based on one..

it was definately a pub crawl with a differenc ehehe

6 pubs were planned on route from work to the dinner place hehe

it was just over 10km distance..

the 2 unsuspecting guys had to jog from work to dinner area between the 6 pubs.. hehe physical challenges could be placed by anyone there but the person challenging them would have to do the challenge themself also..

i sourced some work running singlets and work cap hehehe.. they have no idea wat we have planned for them ;) they were just told to bring a change of clothes..swimmers and running gear.

started off at the pyrmont bridge pub near work.. where a fellow colleague and friend placed his first challenge of an impressive 65 push ups hehe.. wow..

so the 2 leavers had to do it too.. oh and no alcohol for them :P hehehe

it was rainy that day =\ so yea.. kinda sucked abit..


us onlookers split up into 2 teams so we took alternating pubs to meet the runners.. (the organiser ran with them to make sure they didnt cheat hehe.. the runners had no money or fone on them hehe)

2nd pub was some gay bar on oxford st hehe.. no 1 really met them there.. they ordered a quick mocktail and then high tailed it out of there hehehe..

next was the captain cook pub.. which is next to a big grassy area where their next challenge was placed..


they were to catch a cricket ball that was lobbed about 30-50meters away.. hehe by the sounds of it.. the ball is pretty solid to catch and hurt their hands =P i saw one dudes bruises on his palm/thumb ehheh..

next they jogged to meet me and my colleage at centenial park where we had just hired a 4 seater bike hehehehe.. so funny
we pedaled it to the park and then the guys had to pedal us around the park ahhaha.. the park is quite big mind you.. =P about 4kms maybe?
heheh we fit like 5 of us on the bike hahaha must have been sooo heavy for them to pedal =P takes more work then you think =\

oh they had this solar powered billboard on the side of the road which reads your speed hahaha.. the park speed limit is like 30kms/h and we just saw that we went 39kms/h ahahah.. couldnt take a pic in time but it was funny ehehe

hehe then they took the bike back to the shop while we headed to the next pub in randwick. the coaches and horses pub or something..

their next physical challenge was to stand on their head and drink water from a cup through a straw.. lol.. the other 2 had help tho.. one guy had to hold their legs up while the other helps stick the straw n water in their mouth ahhaha.. dunno how these guys comeup with these things hehe

we skipped the next pub and went straight to the last one :)

the guys had to take a dip in the water at the beach.. and since it was raining it was quite cold i hear =P

then the guys showerd n changed and finally got to get some beer n chips hehehehe..

we chatted n waited on more colleagues to show up.. then we went to dinner nearby at a brazillian bbq buffet place..

woah.. its like never ending meat being served lol they had sausages, pork, chicken, steaks, lamb, cheese, pineapple.. pretty much all meat @_@


that pic is just the start.. there were heaps more later



heehh one of the dudes leaving prepared quite a good speech on our fellow colleagues :) hehe

was a good night..

afterwards we went to a pub at the beach that was newly renovated or something.. and stuck around to drink more n play pool :)

was interesting to hang around my colleagues ^____^ ehehe
some got abit tipsy hehe..

was a good night :)

love freebies hehehe

colleague had free invite to premiere of the new 007 ^________^

passed it onto me as they thought it was only for 1 person and it was during work hrs =\

i tested it out and got a friend to go with me.. and it worked!!

so i passed it around the office heheh..

yay for freebies :D

free fingerfood n drinkies when we got there too ;) awesome..

then wen we went in.. it was the newer cinemas.. bigger seats.. very nice :D one of the larger cinemas..

and we all got free popcorn, drink n icecream!! hhehe

soooo happy ^___^

and no ads before the movie ;)

movie was so-so =\ i dont remember the last one since this is sort of a follow on story..

i just remember he wanted revenge for his gf..

lots of action n running around.. not really any nice cars..

no gadgets.. seemed more like its his personal vendetta then a secret agent thing ..

didnt really get the story besides there being a bad guy n that..

was dissapointed in the no nice cars and no cool gadgets :(
