A merry psychology x'mas


our school had a x'mas lunch out at Sitella Winery yesterday. it was a beautiful setting.. i tried to prentend it was tuscany but megan pointed out that the jumper jacks gave it away.. (i'd say it's abt cropping and photoshop)..

was interesting watching 30-40 professors, lecturers, and phd students getting on a musty bus like teenagers and play silly quizzes on the way to get boozed up ..

we had 6 wine tastings.. i've limited myself to one sip for each wine.. and i still got drunk before we sat down to lunch.. (sigh.. damn my inadequate alcohol break-down enzymes).. the one with the dorky grin on the right is my supervisor.. and me bright red with ali on the left trying not to fall over..

so i ended up spending most of the meal being boring and blanking out as i struggle to recover from my alcohol haze.. wishing i could just crawl under the table for nap.. luckily my colleagues were all very entertaining and i still had a great time... me (still lobster red faced) with megan (missy) n karina (lil' k)..

check out Ali-T dawg, the latest addition to our office, she's cute as.. loaded with quirky one-liners.. e.g. "i'll be all over it like a fat kid on a cupcake", "peace out detroit" and "joy"... and with more happy energy than a duracell bunny armed with incredible ability to neutralised an otherwise disgruntled and grumpy office..
then the highlight of the meal.. banana banoffee.. mmmm..

after a massive three course meal, countless glasses of wine, champers, coke.. well fed, drunk, and full of x'mas spirit we were loaded back on the bus.. and did the songs of late 80's n 90's karaoke all the way home.. (actually it was just the four of us in the back of the bus.. but we thought it'll eventually spread like wild fire, but apparantly our musical talents weren't as entertaining as 'guess the song n artist' music quiz.. ) PFFTTTTT..

i had a killer hangover by 6pm.. i was useless and lying on me bed vowing to stick to my lemon lime bitters next time no matter how shameful it is...

hello hello Judemeister.... i'm not so good with blogging so i'll start with a comment...hehehe.. Yay.. kinda like blogging . Anyway, back to my comment, I hereby am advocating for people who "Get Drunk On Wine-Tastings" (G-DONT...HAHA), there's nothing wrong with it.. I myself have had that experience, which James and co will verify. I even locked myself in the toilet... :P
So, all us G-Dont's should take a stand and go out for a spot of wine-tasting in Swan Valley ... ahahahahaha.... at least we'll all be drunk together...

That's all from me...
(NB. please let me know if i'm not doing this blogging thing right...ekekeke)

Ciao chica
Hugs and kisses (and hope to see you over Xmas)
