seafood and snap

The nine of us celebrated Mary's birthday yesterday at Pyrmont. I hadn't been to the Fish Markets in at least 10 years...it's so packed now! We bought seafood platters, sashimi, oysters, sea urchin, etc. and had a picnic at the park across the road (where I was eyeing some guys playing football nearby...too bad they looked barely 18 and were skinny and pale, LOL). The food was GOOD. I loved the scallops. Mary opened her presents - she got a fondue set and a sukao set and a huge block of Lindt chocolate, and a Kinokuniya voucher (she loves anime, but we weren't sure which books she had/didn't have).

After eating, we played Snap, but in a varied way. We had to say the number which came next in a different language to the person before, e.g. uno (Spanish), two, trois (French), sei (Cantonese), cinq (French), luk (Cantonese), seven...and so on. And when we had to snap the card which was one higher or lower than the number that was mentioned. Say, we just said "two", we had to snap the cards if "ace" or "three" were on the top of the pile. Confused? Heh.

I was reunited with a girl I went to primary school with, and it turns out she's in first year med at University of Sydney. I told her my interview was coming up in 2 weeks, and she very kindly offered to ask me a few questions which may be asked. I'm glad they're mainly those common-sense, ethical, scenario-I've-seen-in-ER type of questions, which one cannot really "study" for.

Sundays should always be as fun and eventful as this. :)
