Boys Day Out

Today some of us guys from our youth group got together for a bit of a guys' day out just to hang out and have some fun.

Hamish and I met up with them at Westgate Shopping Centre after I finished music classes and we decided to go to buffet lunch at this nearby Chinese restaurant


There was a lot of really yummy but fatty food there! They had wontons, prawn crackers, fries, deep-fried fish, sweet-and-sour pork and of course rice and vegetables!


We all had several plates before we started slowing down as we got full. We finished with a couple bowls of ice-cream before we couldn't eat anymore! Andrew and Ben were lucky to each get a free bottle of Coke as they knew the owner of the restaurant.


It was time to go bowling next door!


We took up two aisles. I started off not too badly, getting 8's and 9's, before steadily going downhill!


On the other hand, Hamish started off with a strike and surprised everyone by getting the highest score!

 

We only played one game and so after we finished we just had a little walk through JB Hifi before Ben and Andre were taken home and Tim took the rest of us to his house for a meeting (and dinner!) of the older members of our youth group to discuss how well the youth group was going so far this year.


We stopped by Countdown to buy some drinks and met Shameela, an old high school friend working at the checkout before heading back to Tim's house where some of the girls and Gabrielle were already there.


Angie was the last to arrive as she got late, but once she got there we got the meeting going and discussed how we thought the Oddfellows was going this year. There were some good things mentioned and some things that could be improved, and we agreed on an action plan to support each other.


As the meeting wrapped up, we headed over to the living room for dinner! For a change the guys were eating less than the girls, as we were still quite bloated from lunch! There was a lot of chicken and an interesting potato/fruit salad, along with pasta. I just ate the past and salad as I was too full!


As we ate dinner we just talked about our lives, how things were going and it was just good talking to the older people!

We finished dinner with some Indonesian soup/dessert that's green! 

After a surprisingly deep conversation it was time to go home. I didn't want to leave, as it was so warm and I was too full to move!
