| First of my friends to hold a 21st! Dear Naz (close to a year older than me) had hers last night.
Was a quiet and laid-back kind of party - there were some amusing times during the party. e.g. when some random chick came in and asked if this was a party - then who was the bday girl.. then naz came over and hugged her... then i followed her and asked if she knew this chic. at this point naz looked really worried and was like.. no! is she someone from cumbo who i forgot about!?
me: no! she's not from cumbo!
naz starts freaking out, so we rush over to where euge and vish (her bf) are standing and talking and tell them. vish starts looked really concerned (by now this chick has started mingling with my friends) and we cant figure out what to do. after 30mins, we find out that she wants to have a party there as well.. so naz gives her the number of Star Bar.. i give naz this promotional flyer which was sitting on a table that i had found before.. naz looks relieved and gives it to her.
but this chick stays around for the next 30mins, with euge and i sitting and watching at a distance.. and euge wanting to madly kick her out. =P
i also made the poor girl cry just before i left as well. she was trying to get people to go and dance (but the music was un-danceable.. and 60% of the people had already left by then), but i was tired and didnt want to dance. so i decided, as a last minute present-make-the-bday-girl-happy.. i took her hands and started dancing with her 2m away from the boys (euge, jono and vish). next thing i know, she starts crying and buries her head in my shoulder. i try pulling her away, but she kept a firm hug/ head burial in shoulder.. so kept hugging her. finally when she subsided.. pulled her off my shoulder and asked:
"why are u crying?!"
"i duNNo!!"
"aw.. poor baby.. cumon"
and kept dancing.
then just as i was leaving, gave her one last hug and she started going all teary again "aw! don't cry naz! we'll catch up soon!"
had to take bus to artarmon station (horrible trackwork), and nearly made jono miss his bus. but he was nice enough to travel to and from the city with me.. coz i didnt wanna travel alone. thnx jono! =)
time for photos!
me & the bday girl.. Nazza metazzz.. aka naz
