Getting together on the Mid Semester break?

I thew this out to the 7/8 but since we're all good friends (!!) I might as well make it big.

So Mid Sem Break. We have at least one precious day to do something right? I was thinking maybe lunch/dinner + karaoke combo or even just a simple lunch/dinner thing. Gimme your best dates closer to next week.

I'm up for some bonding so we can know each other better before the trip
karaoke sounds fun, gotta practice before we go to japan to sing XD

いい考えね!

Seems like the way to go!

I'll be turning 21 on the Saturday of the week off, so my weekend will be hotly contested between that and Grand Final. Maybe that's why I hate AFL.

Other than that, just give me a specific weekday and I'll be there. I'm going to take a guess and say I'll likely be free Mon-Thurs all day.

Oh, and though you will surely come to know me as the guy who laughs at himself harder than anyone else can, I draw the line at singing. Haha, can't do it, won't do it!

And to take a page out of Jacinda's book:

oh by the way, is anyone going to Manifest this year?

Just today it would seem that I've been roped in for Manifest - a friend of mine is a friend of the AMV judge and happens to be on the panel, and he's asked me if I was interested in checking things out.

More on that as it comes up!

How does dinner sound? C'mon. You know you want to.

But either way we could still attempt to do it earlier (we have two weeks till thye break). What's the best day they usually have to bum around/go shopping.

ANYWAY GETTING BACK ON TOPIC.

Restaurant suggestions? If we get big enough for this, we probably want a place with a big volume but decent service (I hate being rudely interrupted by a lady who expects everyone to order 30 bucks a head).

And I'm no karaoke expert but top choice was K-box?

I only know two Japanese places: one that's local for me but probably miles away from you all that is cheap and very cozy (Japan Inn, Beaumaris), and an expensive but astoundingly good place in the city (called Teppanyaki - you'll never guess what they do there).

Alternately, we could just choose any cuisine.

For me, any weeknight except Friday would do. Sunday nights work as well, but I'm probably the only one who would want to go out and get stark raving drunk before a Monday session with Yano-sensei.

Well the best way would be city since no two of us live in the same suburb. But it doesn't have to be Japanese specific unless we're that overeager (you could always do Ajisen Ramen since they can be fairly cheap. Not owned by Japanese but it's an easy choice).

Or we could do Korean at the one in china town that just opened up - they're pretty average but not too cheap.

Or dumplings!

PS. Nate - Everyone sings. You're practically not allowed to be in the program anymore if you don't sing.

i live like 30-45 minutes from uni and more than an hour to city XD;.. and i don't really want to take a train at night ^^;..

i will be pretty busy with the next two Sundays since i am volunteering in Manifest (need tranings on Sunday) and unfortunately those are the only DAYs that i am free in the week...

I don't think i can join the dinner... Maybe after the exams we can meet up too? (which will be harder since most of the people will be oversea by then >__>;..)

im free in nov, cus i have no exams by then XD so when r u guys finishin ur exams?

my last exam will be on 30/10/08. i will be free after that (if i don't have to work extra)

My last one is 14th November. But they're a week in between so a crazy night is harmless.

lol cool =D!

by the way, how's the application going? i totally gave up on mine (brain dead atm) i will continue it after work tomorrow XP~

and gawd, i never thought Japan Rail Pass is so expensive =__=!

and darn the crappy exchange rate, i should have bought US$ 2 months ago >x<!

Thanks to the meeting today, 25th Thursday was chosen because it's almost pre mid-sem break so we can avoid being stuck in the rut of too many assignments and too little time.

Ill bring the chips
