Office Xmas Party #2
On Thurs, we had another office Xmas party...this time on a larger scale (a bit like the end-of year Assurance party) but this time for a very large division of the bank. This will be my last Westpac Xmas party...so I went with the aim of drinking, dancing, and having fun!!! :). There were soo many people and some familiar faces...it was packed. It was held at the Overseas Passenger Terminal @ The Rocks (Circular Quay area) with the iconic Opera house and Harbour bridge in the background (what else :P)...I heard that to rent it out for a function for a night...it costs A$50K (coz my friend enquired it for her birthday party). There was a live band (playing house, retro and R&B music), catering staff serving alcohol (beer, wine, champaign, etc), ice-cream (Magnums), food, and even pool tables for those who thought they were cool pool sharks :P haha...I wasn't there to play pool :P. I got there a little late coz I was supporting my friends' volleyball grand final game :P...so had lots to make up for in my limited time there..haha...Nothing much to say really...except let the pictures (and comments) tell the story:
Overseas passenger terminal...a really really nice place and very futuristic looking despite the name :P
The place was huge...and very very crowded with dance floor and all :)
Some of my colleagues and my 'outgoing' FC...
Live band in background
My colleagues...1 already drunk
Partying hard...
A 'volunteer' who is doing the 'dip' haha...
Some more of the happy scenes at the party...and it was kinda sunny in there :P haha
The party ended at about 11+ (early :P) but me and two colleagues spent about another half and hr looking for a cab and waiting for the bus (they were female and I was just escorting them). It was impossible to catch a cab because I think there were other office Xmas parties going on and it was a good night for cabbies :P. Emily, was getting tired (the curse of the high heels) so we went back to the hotel where I was staying (because my friend was in Sydney and got a room at this super 6 star hotel and invited me to stay the night :P ...lucky it was that night) and called a cab from there. Didn't drink as much as I initially wanted to..but had fun with colleagues and saw the lighter side of things :P haha...I don't think I can ever tire of this...
