VIV's 19th BIRTHDAY WEEKEND

So the last of my lovely friends had their birthday this year last weekend, finally turning 19. Happy Birthday Viv xoxo and to celebrate we had dinner at a nice fancy spanchy restaurant at Parramatta on Friday night to kick off the festivities for her Birthday.

Met up with Viv, Charise, Tim and a couple of her friends at Westfield so that we could all walk to the retaurant together. On the way we ran into Ana and we all headed to meet the rest of the party goers at the restaurant. I got to meet a few of her new friends and they were heaps nice and made the night enjoyable. It took me quite a while to find something to order and after reading the menu more than 5 times I had decided on some delicious Chicken Pad Thai because I had been craving for some in quite some time. It took a while for my dish to arrive because of the mix up with Jeremy's but it was delicious nonetheless. We took many photos, passing my camera from person to person to capture the moments and take random/candid shots of people. It was a beautiful night with heaps of laughter, smiles and photos and of course was a perfect way to have another catch up with people we hadn't seen in ages! We; Charise, Aira and I, decided to buy Viv a pandora bracelet with two charms. Aira and Jc also bought her a ukelele as a seperate present which Viv loved heaps. Can't wait to hear I'm Yours sometime soon viv :)

Had a fabulous dinner with the Birthday girl but it was far from over. After dinner Viv and some of the kids from the dinner headed for the Fiddler to meet up with her other friends to keep the party going well into the night and early morning. I unfortunatly declined and promised to hang out with her the next night for her actual Birthday. We all went our seperate ways leaving me and Ana to catch the train home. I was a little worried about being by myself and catching the train home to pretty scary station at night but luckily Angelo spotted me at the station so I had company once Ana left.

Next day (Dec 20th) we decided to go and watch Carols by Candlelight at the Domain to celebrate the rest of Viv's Birthday with my camera in hand to document it all. I met up with the birthday girl, Charise and Tim at Max Brenner where the girls chowed down some very tasty waffles and took more pics. After the waffles we headed for the station to take the next train to St James. There was some confusion as to how to get to St James but eventually found our way there an hour later and a few train standing games. Once there we followed the crowd and fellow carollers to the park to enjoy the show. We managed to catch the last hour and a half of the show which was great. The atmospher, singing and scene of all the lit candles amongst the crowd was just beautiful. We walked around taking plenty of pictures and singing along to the carols and even chucking a dance or two to a sister act song. That made our night. We stayed long enough to meet up with Anne Kristine and Mia, and to watch the fireworks. After the show we decided to head home early but before going we checked out Bamboo contemplating on whether to go in or not. But since we were kind of tight on cash we called it an early night. Caught the train back home and sat in front of a man who couldnt stop sneezing. Was so funny Charise and Viv laughed till they cried, apparently the guy had great facials while sneezing. It was an enjoyable night !
The next day Tim msged me and suggested that we should keep Viv's Birthday weekend rolling by surprising her at her joint later that night. Unfortunatly I had to decline because we had a few visitors over already and wasn't allowed to leave :( so it was left for Tim and Charise to make sure the rest of her Birthday weekend was bloody wonderful.

Viv hope you had a wonderful Birthday ! Love heaps. We need to hang out before you leave for Melb or after when you and aira are back from your trips !
