A Birthday without Parsley!
I celebrated a friend's birthday earlier today. We went out for a pretty decent dinner at Commerce Gate at Asian Legends. The conversations was pretty light, although there was a pretty in-depth discourse on the manliness of a certain person (imagine with whiney voice - "why do people think that I think like a guy?"). The evening was also filled with stupidity courtesy of Kevin ("I'm a commodity." [not understanding why girls aren't all over him] You know, there's always your stalker in first year Kev...). And I still don't fully understand the metrosexual comments. I mean don't most guys like to take care of yourself? I mean there's looking like a GQ poster boy and there's being a slob; surely there's middle ground somewhere there. Other intersesting tidbits include Joanne thinking that a threesome requires two girls and Kevin's reaction everytime "Miranda" was mentioned (ha! we know you stalk her in secret). It was a small affair but there was plenty of silliness/laughter.

Incidentally there was also plenty of cake to go around as well. We (Joanne actually) had bought a cake - black forest type with real cherries! - and later we found out Bowen's mother did as well. Super greasy dinner + 2 cakes + the best chinese saigo dessert in the world (courtesy again of Bowen's mother) made 4 very full university students. There was so much cake left over that Joanne actually took some with her home! *gasp*

After dinner we returned to Bowen's house for the aforementioned desserts and PS2 gaming. And I'm glad that I'm not the only one who does not know the Chinese happy birthday song. From SNK vs. Capcom 2, we learned that Kevin is a very good cheap player, although Joanne's button mashing deserves some mention for the sake of ridiculing her. After that we popped in Katamari Damacy and all hell broke loose. That game must be one of the wackiest party games in the world. The premise is this - you are an extraterrestrial ball of glue and you have to roll over as many things as possible to get them to stick to you in order to become the biggest ball of glue! FUN! I modestly admit that I was undefeated in my garbage collecting ball rolling skills. ^_^

Afterwards that mayhem X-Men Legends was popped into the PS2, Warcraft III was started up and Naruto was shown on a 17" screen - all in all, pretty good times. So again, happy birthday Bo!
