For all of you who doesn't know what roller derby is, it's a full contact sport played on quad roller skates with 2 teams of 5 women skating around a small track. They got one player from each team called a 'jammer' who will tried to gain points by passing opposing players legally. The opposing players 'blockers' have to stop the jammer by creating physical obstacles or knocking her over. I quoted all that from their program book :p
At first, we thought it's gonna be empty and we prob the only person there but when we got there, lots of people already queuing up to get in and it's a full house inside. I didn't realise how popular this sport actually is. The theme of the night is Roller Wars and everyone is encouraged to dress up as a Star Wars character, but I didn't see anyone turn up in costume. They had staff wearing stormtrooper costumes wondering around for us to take pics of. I just wore wear black and red shirt which is the colour of the Sydney team to show my support and so did lots of people there.
The main match is The Assassins (Sydney) VS Vice City Rollers (Canberra). This is where the real game begins. Both teams are so strong and aggresive in trying to score as many points as possible for their teams. Lots of pushing and shoving and players getting knocked over.
At first, Sydney was leading the game but Canberra kept on tailing them. During mid break, they had a funky burlesque performance with Princess Lea get-up. I thought it was quite cool. The game was nail bitting up until the last minutes because the score was a tie but Sydney nailed it with their last jams. They ended up winning the nite by 4 points, 109 against 105 Canberra.
I had so much fun watching the match, I wish men can play roller derby because I would deff try to get in the team. It 's prob gonna be 10 times more brutal and aggresive thou. I'll be coming back again to see another match for sure.

We were working really really hard for the Checklist issue, staying back almost every night at work just to make sure we got everything right. It's full of useful information for the new mum, while the normal Cosmo Preg covered everything for mum-to-be.
Show some love and buy the mags guys:)

It's long weekend this weekend. Finally 3 days to rest from work. I think it's labor day on monday. Not really sure but whatever it is, yay for that!
Iwan invited me to his B'day bash on Sunday nite. Well it's a joined B'day between him and Dean. It's held at Strike Bar, King St Wharf. It's a B'day package thing that starts off with a free cocktails, followed by selections of gourmet pizzas, 2 games of bowling and karaoke or pool, all for $36 per person which I think is quite cheap.
It was a really fun night, got to meet a couple of friends that I haven't seen in ages like Igor and Will and it turns out they're all quite crap in bowling since I ended up winning and I know that I'm quite crap myself. Josh came closely second:).

We only left at midnight because it's their closing time, otherwise we would stil be there singing and eating the yummy cake. We continued the party by going clubbing to Oxford St for a few hours. My feet were killing me by the end of it but we all had a blast. Happy b'day again boys and many many more to come!

Viv and I went to see Charlie St. Cloud screening that was sponsored by the Dolly and Cleo mags tonight at Event Cinema after work. Zefron wasn't there to welcome us sadly but we did get a goodie bag filled with useful stuff if you're a teenage girl (which is the main target audiences for the movie). Dry shampoo, toothpaste, mascara, wallet, mags etc.
Tash asked me to give her the tampon if they had one but sadly they didn't give that out in the bag, so no tampon for you Tashie!
On top of that, we also got free soft drinks and popcorn and a mini fashion show before the movie start. The movie itself is actually quite good. Awesome if you're a big Zefron fans like myself. I think he's a really good actor, he's got a special charm and gentleness that works really well for this kind of movie.

In my opinion, the most annoying part of the movie is the trailer. Whoever did the cutting for the trailer should be fired because they show and tell the whole story of the movie there.
I know it's based on a book but I think you should keep some elements of suprise in the movie for the people who haven't read it. In saying that, I stil give it 3 and a half out of 5 stars.

It's been a super duper busy couple of weeks for me, with the crazy deadline and all. We had been staying back at the office every day until midnight this week. My body feels so tired and thank gawd we finally finished the whole design part yesterday. I don't envy the subbed dept at all because they still have a long way to go.
The Disney peeps got invited to the Camp Rock 2 Australian premiere and they invited me to come along. Free food and drinks after the deadline from hell? Hell yea! It was held at Deckhouse in Woolwich and we were supposed to take the free ferry ride from Darling Harbour, but since Klai is bringing Phoebs along, we drove there instead.
The Disney channel goes all out with the location' decor, entertainment for the kids and the place. The deckhouse is a really nice place and we all had never been to this area before. Lots of kids with their parents come as expected and once we all had the nibbles and drinks, they start playing the movie. We obvs didn't come there for the movie haha, I haven't even seen the first one yet, so we all just hung around out at the back waiting for more food to come. The food were quite nice Btw. Peking duck crepes, hot dogs, satay chicken, macaroon and champagne wit OJ for me.

My friend, Denin has a stall at the Sydney Uni Pet Fair today, so we went to give her a visit. I've known Denin for ages, since high school to be exact and now shes married, has a 3 yrs old kid (Chris, who is insanely adorable) and has opened a small business. I'm very proud of her. It's called Spoon and fork and specializes in cookies, cupcakes and wedding cakes.
As her friend I got the privilige to taste them all obviously and trust me, they're really really good. She brought a 20kg wedding cake to my office and we all eat it for days and days and everyone compliments at how delicious the cake is. She's really talented at what she does. She's like an Asian Martha Stewart!

It's Phoebe's turn to have her B'day celebration today. I know! all these b'day I'm telling ya, but this one is special because she's turning 1. Yep, a full 12 months! That's why Im trecking myself via train all the way to Merrylands. If you know me well, you would know that I don't like to travel anywhere past Newtown and Merrylands is way out west.
It turned out not that bad. I took a limited stop train and it only took me half an hour to get there. Tash and Alex picked me up from the station.
The party was held at Merrylands RSL club and it's an all-you-can-eat buffet. YUMM!!! Klai invited 100 people. I don't think she knows most of them. They're mostly friends of her parents. For entertaiment, they had this overworked magician with his seemingly drugged out rabbit. Poor magician, he couldn't have a peaceful time to finish his dinner. Everyone kept asking him to make animal balloons and stuff.
As you can see from the pics, the theme is Mickey Mouse. Little Phoebs dressed up as Minnie complete with the ear headbands. The buffet was amazing Btw. We kept on filling our plates with seafoods and desserts. On last counts I think I had between 4-5 plates. Damn you buffet!!
It was a really fun party and totally worth it travelling all the way there hahaha. Thanks for inviting me Klai and happy B'day again cute Phoebe!

We went to Adrian and Raffi's place for his B'day drinks. Even thou they don't live that far from me, I haven't visited them in ages. Actually I lie, I went to their place last week to return the vacuum cleaner, but only for 5 mins!.
Anyway, It was nice to catch up with them again along with Josh and James. I haven't seen James for months! I used to see him at the train station every morning, but since I go to work late most of the time, we never cross path's anymore. They all went clubbing afterwards to Oxford Street but I went back home. Way too tired.
Joyeux Anniversaire Raffi! lots of love:)
