| Today is Vivian’s birthday; Siobhan and Naomi are also celebrating their birthday. Yesterday 16 of us went to a Thai restaurant in Georgetown to celebrate two girls’ birthday. It’s Tim that picked and reserved the restaurant; he said that he has the best Pad-Thai here since he arrived at DC. The restaurant is called Bangkok Bistro if I am right, hiding itself on Prospect Street. The dinner was fabulous. We are divided into 2 groups because we were 16. I sat with Manu, Everaldo, Christiane, Zhu Jing, Paul from Australia, Niels, and Naomi. We decided to have a family style meal so we ordered 6 dishes together. The sharing and the passing of the dishes are very funny and Naomi said that friends from another table watched us with curiosity. The Pad-Thai was really nice and we had a lot of shrimps and fish. I love seafood so I couldn’t stop eating. Yummy! After the dinner, it came to the birthday song time and the gifts. I prepared a set of CDs from Herbert von Karayan and a bookmark from Taiwan for Naomi. Siobhan also got the bookmark and a reading companion. Christiane, Akiko and Manu prepared the gift cards for the birthday girls. Grace from South Korea also had a little present for them, which was a surprise to Naomi and Siobhan. They seemed to be happy. It’s the most important thing. After the restaurant, Siobhan proposed to go to a bar to have some drinks. Hence, we headed to a bar nearby which is called Mr. Smith. Christiane said it’s a good piano bar when we were here last time. I had a white whine, sitting at the piano bar. I liked the songs that the musician played. He has a list of great songs for people who want to order some songs. He accidentally played one of my favorite songs: Under the Sea in Little Mermaid; this is the song that I sang a lot last semester when the weather was terrible. I looked like the lobster in Little Mermaid with my mittens. Ha ha, we had a great time in the bar. On our way back to the house, we three decided to go to Brickskeller. Too much alcohol? Yes, probably too much Brickskeller this week. We came here last Thursday for the Australia Day because Siobhan wanted to celebrate the National Day by having some Australian beers. However, Tim did not come to Brickskeller that day so we had a perfect reason to go into Brickskeller. I had a Belgian beer, Leffe, and Naomi insisted on her German favorite beer. Tim ordered a German beer, Bitburger, and he liked it. We chatted for a while and then we finally decided to go back to the House. Despite all these alcohols, I did not forget Vivian’s birthday. I sent her a parcel last Monday to make her happy. Yesterday I sent her a text message to greet her. Well, when I was in bed, I thought that it’s a very unproductive day but I enjoyed it very much. Hope Vivian will receive the gift soon. Happy birthday, my dear Vivian!! |
