Friday 24th February 2006 - Melissa's Birthday
Exploring Newtown & the Sydney Opera House

On Friday was Mel's Bday (Happy Belated Bday =) and a day for us to explore Newtown & the Opera House. It started with brunch in Newtown @ El Basha with Carter then meeting up with Nath to wander around. The weather was good, a tad hot but better than the other gloomy days at the beginning of the week. After walking around in the hot sun we decided it was getting late and if we wanted to go visit the Opera House we better make our way into the city so we could make it in time for dinner. We also tried Gelatissimo (which Nath hasn't even tried yet & slurpees which Carter made us all have brain freeze competitions..haha) Dinner was @ The Regal Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. Cam organised a suprise bday dinner for MT and invited all their friends, apparently she had no idea.. hehe but i think she did. He did a good job of organising candles and rose petals all over the tables and room which was really nice.. aww how sweeeet =P After dinner we all headed down to the Privillage Bar. Ooh.. did i mention that i met the Nescafe "I think someone needs a hug" guy, who is also in the VB Shout Politics add??
