Some PR company sent us a complimentary invitation to join the UrbanMAX race. I never heard about this thing before. To quote their website, "The Urban Max is part adventure race, part scavenger hunt with a mix of the amazing race. It is a completely new format of racing that will take teams of two through the heart of the host city. Competitors will get to visit some of the cities most famous landmarks, as well as suburban areas, while completing a variety of activities along the way."
As a huge fans of Amazing Race, I forwarded this invite to Tash half jokingly asking her to be my partner and she said yes! so we both sign up for this race and I named our team Rainbow Brite (awesome name, I know:P)
More than 1000 people entered this race and we all gathered at Cockle Bay Wharf to get our shirt and number. The race starts at 9am and our category has to do 14 out of 20 checkpoint that are spread out around CBD and nearby suburbs.

We were running around everywhere, from Darling Harbour to Paddington and Redfern oval to name a few.
I jumped in the pool looking for words and we did Zumba, ping pong, stacking card and other fun activities. I think the hardest part of the race is solving the clues that they give us and to know where should go first.
We thought we did quite alright, 11 checkpoints in 6 hours; that's why we're so shocked when the winners were announced and they did all 14 checkpoints in under 3 hours. That's just really insane! We don't know how they managed to do that, since it's quite a distance from one checkpoint to another. We had a lots of fun anyway. It was really hard but we did it. I'm sure my body will be sore for a couple of days after this but hey, it was worth the experience and I think I will do it again next year.
Here's their website if you guys want to find out more about UrbanMAX: http://www.maxadventure.com.au/urbanmax/

To complete one of the checkpoints, we had to take a picture with a person who's doing a Movember (an annual month-long event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November) and this guy was so happy to help us out.

Caught up with a few of my friends tonight at Wagaya. I came to this restaurant many times already if you read my old posts but I didn't choose the restaurant this time, because I know the meal isn't that special and it took ages to get a table. It was fun, nevertheless.
Some of them were going clubbing after dinner but I decided to go back home. Way too tired. It's been a long week and hopefully I'll get tons of rest over the weekend.

David and I went to see The Sculpture by the Sea today at Bondi Beach. Apparently there are more than 100 sculptures, spreading from Bondi to Tamarama on the coastal walk.
We only walked until the top of the Bondi one, so obviously we didn't see them all. I can't believe it's already that time of year again. It doesn't seem like that long ago when Adam and I went to see it last.

IMHO, from what I'd seen, there were more interesting sculptures last year than this year. Maybe they put the good ones at Tamarama. Anyway, here's some of the ones that I find interesting.

Viv is taking me out for dinner tonight at The Astral Bar Restaurant at Star City. It's located on the 17th floor and it serves mainly French food. Her boyfriend is currently working as a chef there and we want to try the food before they close the restaurant for good and turn it into a high roller room.
Once we sat on our table, the waiter basically said that Viv's bf, Dom, already choose the degustation menu for us. It's basically an eight-course mini sampler of everything. The food was yummy, albeit tiny. I can't remember which one stood out more than the others because they're all very different from each other.
After the dinner, we went downstairs to level 3 to catch up with Dem and Steve for a bit. Steve bought an investment property in Queensland and the developer invited him for their gala night. Apparently they're the youngest couple in the room, so I can imagine just how bored they're with the gala.
Once we're finished, David picked me up and we went to Oxford Street to meet up with James. We went to this new club called LIVE which located right beside Stonewall. The cover charge is $15 and it was my first time there. It was fun, not much different from Nevermind! though.
We stayed there for a bit and while we were there, some young singer is also shooting a video clip with people on the dance floor as her background.
We moved after a while to Palms but didn't stay there for long because I was already tired. Fun night in all and thanks again Viv for the dinner!

The fashion team did a shoot with the Moscow Circus last week and after I saw the proof, I knew that I wanted to go and see the circus too. I haven't been to the circus in ages. I think the last time I saw a circus was the Cirque du Soleil at Fox Studios so I asked David to book the tickets and invited Darren to come along. It was playing at Sydney park, Newtown this week, not far from our place.
The circus itself was fun. Lots of amazing acrobats, daredevil motorbikes and other stunts. They only have ponies for the animal attractions and they're really really cute. It makes me want to have one too hahaha. It's a great show for a family, something different to do and we all enjoyed the show, you guys should deff check it out. For more information about where they're playing, visit their website: http://www.moscowcircus.com.au/

This time is a more sombre occassion. I guess it's because we were all really tired after a full on week of partying and it finally hit us that this is it, the final goodbye. We started with a delicious cake (I forget the name of it) at the Goulburn St office and we then made our way to The Ivy in George St. It was happy hour between 5-7 and we all just stayed there for a few hours.
After that, I went to the Rocks with Viv for dinner and finished it off with dessert at Max Brenner. Good luck with your new adventures guys! Y'all gonna be awesome!

It seems like I always talk about Disney peeps and forget about my Cosmo peeps, It's just that we are always stuck in the office and don't really go out together as a group, anyway, here's a Cosmo post for you.
Michelle is our deputy ed and she's leaving us to pursue an online career. To say goodbye to her, we all went for yumcha at East Oceans at lunch time. I always enjoyed the food here but some ppl think it's just meh. It's a bit annoying that we have to order the food one by one instead of getting it from passing trolley. It's just doesn't seem like yumcha without the trolley. It was quite a long lunch and I was so full by the end of it. We walked back to the office to do a bit of work and then went to the pub for goodbye drinks.
Mich is one of the hardest working ppl in the office. She's practically lived there and is always on top of everything workwise. We all gonna miss her so dearly. Good luck with your new job Mich, you'll kick ass there!

When I heard the news that Disney Girl and Disney Adventures were folding, I was shocked. I thought they were doing quite alright in term of sales, so it's kinda come out of nowhere. Some ppl are being made redundant and some are going to be shuffled around to diff mags. It's really sad to hear the news, even thou I don't work there anymore but they've been part of my life for the last couple of years and I made great friendship with all of them. It is really the end of an era:(
As part of the final issue, they are doing the last group shoot at the studio today and invited the ex staffers like myself to partake in the shoot. We took tons of crazy silly poses. It's very bittersweet. I had so much fun working with these guys and I'm gonna miss them all so very much.
