The craziest of nights

Posted on June 26, 2009

Around a month ago Zi from JDMyard reserved a room at Wagaya for my birthday. Although I had been looking forward to it, I was super exhausted as I had to stay up the night prior to converse with a business contact in France.

Wagaya’s not one of my favourite Sydney Japanese restaurants, but Zi assured me that we’d have a great time since we had a room to ourselves and the touch-screen menus meant we wouldn’t be constantly interrupted. Effectively we could run amuck, which was exactly what we did.

Ever since I was old enough to hold a driver’s license, I swore to never catch public transport ever again. I hated the weirdos, the stench, the constant delays. Zi is similarly prissy, and so when he told me he was catching a train into the city I didn’t believe him. In fact I bet him $20 he wouldn’t do it. Perhaps it was the financial incentive, but Zi brought the ticket to prove me wrong. He even BBM’d me with images of him on the train.

Fended off 20 hungry people to snap this shot before it was wolfed down.

Lotus chips. So nice.

Sushi roulette, just like Russian roulette. Each plate has one sushi stuffed with wasabi, and it’s a great game to play with friends. I was lucky the first two rounds (poor Julie was crying when she copped a loaded one), but on the last one I was caught out.

Unfortunately I don’t think it’s appropriate to reveal the crazy antics that went on that night (although I have a feeling some videos will leak onto YouTube). Fuelled by over 80 Asahis, this was a night that none of us will be forgetting soon. And I don’t think it’ll be ever be repeated either, considering the amount of money we lost to various dares. The Wagaya staff didn’t look very happy with our rowdy behaviour, and after four hours they were dropping some not so subtle hints that we should leave. And that’s when we were given the longest bill I’ve ever seen!
