I would say its been a semi-productive weekend. I went out with my work colleagues on Fridy night. It was one of the project manager's bucks night. We had dinner at "I'm Angus" at Cockle Bay. Not a bad restaurant, but a tad disappointing. We were in a big group, so we were forced to have a set menu.

I had calamari for an entree, and steak for mains. The calamari turned out nicely. The batter was crispy and the saltiness was just nice. And the calamari was tender too. Although I expected better from the presentation. Using an oversized plate is fine, as long you decorate it. Leaving a third of the plate empty isn't. Should at least decorate it with some salads (not that I would touch that. Could have decorated it with the passionfruit dipping sauce (which was quite nice).

The steak was only so-so. The $5.95 steak from Shark Hotel looks and taste roughly the same. Not bad, but dissappointing. The meat was ok, but the chefs charred the outside too much. And the mash couldn't beat what I had at The Three Weeds. Oh! and since it was a buck's night, we had the buck drink out of a tit straw, and he had a ball & chain attached to him at the start. At the end of dinner, he had a blowup donkey strapped around his waist, and he had to walk around Darling Harbour looking like that.

Adjourned to Men's Gallery after that. No buck's night is complete without a naked females. Although honestly, MG is rather boring. Only 1-2 nice girls out of the lot. The rest not to my tastes. Aihs... I think the club that I went to in Melbourne was a lot better. Bar 29? Club 69? Can't recall the name. It had stage shows and most of the girls were hot, so it was a lot more interesting. At least I know I won't be the type to hang out at these kind of places much in the future. Much rather be laming at home rahter than pay a cover charge to go these kind of places. Or maybe it depends on how inebriated you are at the time. Hmmmm.

Saturday... had an appointment with another mortgage broker in the morning. Opened up some different avenues in regards to my property investing. I have to mull over a few things now. Good and bad I suppose. Might have to reconsider my investing plan. More on this, when I know more. The rest of the day... cleaning up the house, anime and WoW.

Sunday... nothing much to do. Read some comics that fatty left behind. Got my hair cut. Looked at property listings. Regular sunday stuff.
