My Last Day At Souk
Yesterday was my last day at souk, and usually on thursdays or fridays i do something a little special for staff meal, So yesterday i went one more and went and bought $50 worth of souvlaki meat, and we made souva's for dinner. As an extra for dessert i made a bread and butter pudding.
The night itself was very uneventful my section was very quiet and once the night was over the drinking begun. I started with a few beers, and then Aiden the FOH manager gave me a bottle of wine for my going away present, it was from S.A The whalebone winery and a Shiraz, and it was beautiful, such a great wine.
we just chatted away until about 3am, when the security company called asking why the alarm wasnt set lol. We then decided one more bottle and then we would call it a night, So we had another red and hit the road. Goodbyes were said and then i split a cab home with Angela and once we dropped Ange off i just started to think about where my life is headed and i couldn't be happier.
Plus BBQ + UFC PPV tommorow.
Hope everyone is well.

Independent....Almost
Well now with the new job about to start, im starting to look for a place to live close to crown. Probably start looking a bit harder next week, when i have the week off to look at places. Finally decided to make the jump as i will know be earning more $$ and working more hours, the amount of money ive spent on taxis all the way home would easily pay for rent.
Also UFC PPV is comin up this weekend, so there is a fair chance i will be drunk for the entire weekend.
Pics and trip report to follow.

Change of Plans
I got woken up by a phone call at about Midday today, It was Scott the head chef from Nobu just ringing to tell me building is behind schedule and we cant get into the kitchen until a week later than first thought. So now i start on the 25th of this month, Ill probably be heading upto Sydney for the weekend beforehand just to relax and take it easy before getting into the swing of things. This weekend i have been so lazy cant wait for this week to be over.

June 18th...Judgement Day
I found out i start at Nobu on the 18th of this month yay :D.
It was my best mate Gaz's going away party last night, ive known gaz for about 4 years now, Gaz is a chef and we met at TAFE then i helped him get a job at pearl and he has worked there for a almost 2years now. So he is heading over to europe for a holiday and to work. So there was plenty of drinking taking place . But i was too tired from a shit saturday night at work, one of the apprentices called in sick so i had to do her section and it was completly in the shit. So i finish up this friday.
I also found out my Sous Chef from Pearl, has taken the Sous Chef position at Nobu. So should be good we always worked well and got along.
Here is a pic of us partying together lol.
Other than that not alot else has been happening. I went over to the pond earlier in the week for dinner, just a small BBQ with myself, Arul, Nick and Luke. Where some gambooling took place on the tennis.
Take care.
