Home Sweet Home

...so today is the first day back at "work" after two whirlwind weeks in the US. Thanks to everyone who spent time with me eating, drinking, shopping, drinking, drinking and hangin' out in either San Francisco, Los Angeles or New York. I had a great time (as always) but it is soooo good to be home.

Actually, no I take that back. It is soooo good to be wherever Matt is. The past two weeks solidified even more that it doesn't matter where we are, as long as we're together. Who knows what the future has in store... :)

Stevie, I hope you had a great 30th birthday. My liver is still recovering from that weekend.

OK I have two weeks of expenses to enter into the system. Blah.

Birthday Trivia

...so for those of you who didn't know, on my 30th birthday last year my friends and I were in the Hunter Valley partaking in wine-tasting aplenty (I love that word! I shall endeavour to use it more often. Aplenty even). After muuuuch wine tasting, I hosted Ray's Birthday Trivia and divided the group into three teams with the following team captains:

- The Best Friends (Rhandy and Steve)
- The Boyfriend (Matt)
- The Roomies (Maria and Jonny)

The losers of the competition had to do the washing up, which was not inconsequential with 20 people there. Anyways, in lieu of an actual post I've decided to post the questions. Get all of them right and win a free steak dinner from me - definition of 'steak' and 'dinner' to be decided by me.

1. What month did Ray join Fitness First?
2. What is Ray’s favourite Kylie song?
3. What suburb of Melbourne did Ray and Jonny live in?
4. The first night Ray met Matt’s friends - Charmaine, ChiWai, Mark and Zena, they went out to dinner – what kind of cuisine did they eat?
5. Name Ray’s three siblings. Bonus points for their ages.
6. Ray was a committee member on the Filipinos of UTS society. What executive position did he hold?
7. Ray’s boyfriend has one sister. What’s her name?
8. Name the primary school Ray went to.
9. While living in Melbourne, Ray and Jonny had different names for their daily routine. E.g. Mexican Monday, Tennis Tuesday, Wacky Wednesday – what was Thursday called?
10. What year was Ray lead in the musical ‘Oliver’? – a) Year 2, b) Year 4, c) Year 6
11. Ray first went to Europe in 2001. Which two cities did he visit?
12. The first time Ray travelled overseas without his family in 1993, who did he travel with? Bonus point for the city they stayed in for 2 months.
13. Ray has attended three PeopleSoft conferences in the USA. What cities were they in?
14. What did Ray come dressed as for Charmaine’s 30th birthday party? Bonus point: What did Matt come dressed as?
15. What do Ray, Maria, Steve, Phong and Matt have in common?
16. Who has visited the most cities with Ray? a) Maria b) Jill c) Steve?
17. What is Ray’s degree from UTS in?
18. Ray, Matt, Mark and Zena got really drunk one night at Ray’s place late last year. How many bottles of wine did they drink? a) 6 b) 7 c) 8
19. What movie can Ray quote from beginning to end?
20. What was the make and model of Ray’s first car?
21. Ray has the full box sets of which three tv shows?

After two rounds of the above questions, I threw in some bonus questions:

- What is Ray's middle name?
- What was the name of the street that Ray and Jonny lived on?
- What is Ray's favourite sexual position?
- What is Ray's most embarassing moment? a) Falling over on an escalator and taking everyone down with him, b) Crashing into a truck whilst singing Miss Saigon songs or c) Passing out for an hour with his head on the toilet bowl at his 23rd bday party
- What was the name of Ray's favourite restaurant in Melbourne?
- What did Matt give Ray for their first anniversary?
- What was Ray's most pissed off moment?
- What did Ray and Jonny do every Tuesday night after playing tennis? *giggle*
- What was the first movie Ray and Matt watched together?

After ALL of that Matt's team won (Woot!) with The Best Friends and The Roomies tied. The tiebreaker question was "What did Ray have for dinner that night?". To my surprise, The Best Friends (who weren't sitting near me at dinner) got it right, and the Roomies (who were sitting next to me and opposite me) got it wrong. Doh!

Ahhh good times...

On a side note - Happy birthday Googz!
