Birthday Celebrations

In honour of my birthday, Thailand decided to have a public holiday. Yeah, ok, maybe the holiday wasn't exactly for my birthday, but that's what I told all my friends anyway. While I really missed being able to celebrate my birthday with friends back in Sydney, I had a great night celebrating with family and my Thai friends. Due to a bit of indecision on what to do, it ended up being a bit last minute invite the night before. Even though some friends couldn't make it, a few were still able to come over to my sisters place for dinner. It also happened to be the birthday of friends son Kluey, and all he cared about was that my nephew Sean was there to help him celebrate his birthday, so we decided to have a 'joint' birthday celebration. Dinner ended up being an 'International Buffet' which comprised of tacos, pasta, vietnamese wraps, thai bbq'd fish, sticky rice, salad, a lime creme brûlée and a pav. We all had a great night, the kids had a great time playing Just Dance non-stop, adults got to chat lots, do puzzles with the kids and just hang out. It was also a great excuse to try and get some of different groups of friends from church, school, and other randoms I've met along the way, to know each other and for those who are Christians to get to know those who aren't. Pity birthdays only come around once a year, but hopefully I can invite everyone over to my new place...once I finally get one :) Here are a few pics from the night

getting better at doing group 'selfless'. Here's me with my friends and our international buffet spread
