Bet dinner @ Sydney Tower

Yesterday Tim and I went to the Sydney Tower Restaurant to celebrate the end of last semester, and his victory in our bet. It didn´t end up being cheap for me: I paid $129 altogether for our buffee dinner. But you know, cheap bets are no good! We actually dressed up for the dinner, and it felt nice fitting in to the fancy restaurant. They had even a security check before we were allowed to take the elevator up to the tower. The tower was rotating and we went around 3 times, enjoying the beautiful views over Sydney. Compared to the Orbit Tower, where we went to in June, you can see so much further from the Sydney Tower. It was cool pointing out all the different places in the city, and also seeing things you hadn´t noticed before. We agreed it´d be so cool to have an office in one of the skyscrapers, with a view over the city! (Which is one more good reason to be ambitious and aim for a high position within your company, to earn a window office.) The buffee food was so delicious :P They had everything from seafood to Indian to chicken and steaks... I had kangaroo (which tasted a lot better than when we tried to cook it with Shinae) and camel. We each had 3 full plates of food, followed by dessert. We (naturally, being chocolate lovers!) enjoyed most all the chocolate cakes and pudding. After eating we just sat there for some time, chatting and looking at the view... Unfortunately my pictures didn´t turn out that well because of the reflection from the window. It was a really nice evening indeed, and worth the money, I think :)

Oh, and I won an award for City2Surf. They had this award event today with wine, beer and some proper snacks. People were given awards for good running times, as well as for having the funniest hat, coming up with a best excuse etc... I was the fastest UTS housing female runner and got a medal with my name on it. I quite don´t feel like deserving an award, though, since I didn´t train at all and I didn´t even push myself to run a good time. Oh well, it´s a nice medal :) Other than that, nothing else is new. People have had a few parties here in Geegal, where I´ve been just talking to people and not drinking at all. Our flat seems be the movie centre nowadays! Tim and Renar have heaps of movies and keep getting new ones, and people from other flats come here to watch them with us. I´ve got a feeling I´ll have seen tons of movies by the time I return home. It´s a perfect way to spend dark evenings, though.
