Richard is the type of nice guy that everyone loves to be friends with. He is polite, considerate, and for some reason, always the brunt of everyone's elses' jokes. But anyways, last night Richard threw himself a little farewell party at his family's restaurant - Lotus Garden Chinese Restaurant - in Padbury. He threw a lovely little party with yummy food and made sure everyone was well fed, and well drunk. We had heaps of koon-boo chicken, squid, prawns, all kinds of yummy stuff (read : the food is yummy there!) ..
You see, Richard is starting in his new position as an engineer at one of the big mining firms. He will be flying off to West Angeles (a couple of hours from Kalgoorlie) for his first week of orientation. All for his friends as a farewell thing...
Now here's the kicker. Richard is FIFO. He is flying out for a week,.... and returning to Perth after that week.
... I love excuses to get together and eat :) Thanks Richard! You're a champ ;)
