Elections 2009

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

Amelia and I went to vote today, the ques weren’t nearly as bad as we had expected.

I waited for about 20 minutes at the voting station in my ward, and Amelia didn’t wait at all, she went straight in and voted and we then went for our free “Voters Coffee” at the Wimpy.

I hope that the lack of cues does not mean that people didn’t vote at all…

Results have been streaming in and News24 and The Times have been competing for the most up to date content provider.

Nathan and Amelia dot com

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Amelia and I have been promising to start publishing our thoughts on the hospitality and entertainment industry as well as numerous other random things we come in contact with.

Today we launched, NathanandAmelia.com which we will be using for this purpose.

My idea is to use this site as a kind of reality site of our life and what we get up to, whether this site is going to be much of a success and build up much of a following is another topic all together.

If you have comments, or you’re interested in our opinion on something for what ever reason, check out our new site.

Wazeer’s Birthday at OB’s

Saturday, April 11th, 2009

After leaving the wedding we took a drive through to Wazeer’s birthday party at Ob’s house in Rheebok.

Ziyaad and Parveen went all out with the catering and their was still some great tasting pudding left, that we gladly indulged in.

I made OB and myself some coffee, using his awesome Siemens Espresso Machine, i could so do with one of these at home and the office.

The youngsters decided to go out clubbing, so Amelia, Parveen and I, after finishing our coffee with OB hit the road back to George.

Leigh and Velizar’s Wedding at By Grace Alone

Saturday, April 11th, 2009

Wow, what a fun night…

Leigh and Velizar had a really cool wedding, that they organised on their own.

The reception, held at By Grace Alone, was awesome. The venue has a medieval theme, with suites of armour, a moat and the whole castle effect. The power even went out for part of the evening, so we sat in candle light, experiencing the true personality of the venue.

We were seated as if we were at a royal banquet. The food, which was aplenty was really good. My favourite was the pumpkin fritters with caramel sauce, which i had more than enough helpings of.

The meal was rounded up with some interesting berry and chocolate mouse pudding.

The dancing then began, with young and old enjoying the some classics.

Leigh and Velizar’s Bachelor and Bachelorette’s

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

With the wedding drawing closer, Leigh and Velizar had their Bachelor and Bachelorette parties tonight…

The Girls all went to Far Hills Hotel, for a night of nails and dressing up, while the guys had a get together at the Prezens’ house with lots of beer.

I dropped Amelia off at Far Hills Hotel at about 16:00. I had work to do so, I stayed at the office till about 19:00 then carried on with some work at home.

The two parties met up at Cactus and I joined up soon after.

Amelia and I decided to have the legendary Cactus Pizza we always have there with; chicken, avo, garlic and feta.

Leigh-Ann was so funny, she was dressed up with a shirt saying bride, a white fluffy boa and a tiara. She must have had a lot to drink cause she had this glazed look in her eyes and was being so funny. She stole a few pieces of avo off our pizza, it was totally hilarious.

I am sure that they are all going to have funny stories to tell us at the wedding, not to mention some serious hangovers tomorrow.
