Updates...... A nite in SF

So, I havent update my blog for like nearly 2 months liau. Hahaha... Was too freaking busy and lazy, as usual. Damn, how come my parents born me with a lazy ass?!! Anyway, I will try to write what have been up with me for the past 2 months....

Lets start with 2 weeks bfr thanksgiving. Two of my friends, Juanri(Indo) and Brian(Brunei), had a birthday, so they join- venture and treat their freinds, 10+ ppl, to a dinner in a Japanese cafe in San Francisco. The dinner was at 6 till 8, they had to make a reservation for the place, but we -- me,Rio, Alex, Thomas and the birthday boy Brian -- only began to go at 6 in one car.... zzz. ... obviously we were very late. On top of that, there was traffic. Preety bad traffic cuz it was a Saturday nite and everyone wanted to go the city. The worse thing is that we can only eat untill 8 pm and then we have to leave, and it takes 45 minutes to go to SF but with the heavy traffic and the car moving at 35mph, God knows how long! Juanri and his geng had already arrived and started eating. Anyway, took us 1 hour and 15 minutes to reach Japan Town in SF where the cafe is located and another 15 minutes to look for parking space and the cafe. Zzz... So by the time we reach and sit down and eat, it was already 7.30pm and he had literally half hour to eat! It was something like a buffet steamboat where you put vegetables and beef into the soup and eat them, you can eat them just like that or you can dip them in peanut sauce or japanese soya sauce, and the waitresses just kept refilling the vege and the beef. So I makan lah and after 20 minutes I got sicked of beef already cuz I ate so much. hahahha. 3 other people were suppose to come but they arrived in Japan Town at 8, damn slackers, so Juanri asked them not to come cuz there were no time to eat already so they went and had dinner on their own nearby. At the end of dinner, they served us ice creams and then we ciao.


Then we went nearby, we stand around talking and take pictures. Actually there were kinda like two groups that nite, one is Juanri group and another is the group I came with. Among these people, only me, Brian, and Thomas (Myanmar) are not Indos while the rest are. We all know each others just that some people are closer and some are not, well you know how it is. And they all freaking speak Indo when they are talking so I really dont understand what they talking about so I was very sien, I hardly talk. Lucky got 2 more who doesnt speak Indo so I wasnt alone and Alex and Rio stayed with us. After awhile we called it a night, Juanri and his group went back and we met up with the slackers, Owen, his gf Sheila, and 'Small' Chris. Talked for half hour deciding where to go and finally we decide to hang out in Ghirardelli Square.
Ghirardelli is a famous chocolate brand like Hersheys and Cadbury. The place is actually a tourist attraction in Fisherman's Wharf where there are stores and other things.


The whole group...


Brian, Thomas, Me, Rio and Alex


Anyway, we went there, past through Fisherman Wharf and it was so quiet cuz all the shops were closed and there were no people around, so unusual when compare to daytime. When we reached, the line in the ice cream shop was long, yeah there were actually alot of people at that place at night, so we walked around and took pictures first. After there was no more line, we ordered ice-creams in the cold night and sat down, ate and talked. Some of my frens bought chocolates. After awhile another group of people came. Remember the incident on Halloween night, where we went to fetch two girls in Oakland and got lost? So it was this two girls again, Mary and Benedact, and their frens. Apparently they were nearby and Chris asked them to come, he wants to chase Benedact. So they sat down and we talked for awhile and decide what to do next.... and they decided to go sing karaoke. Problem is Alex and Brian didnt want to go but Rio wanna go and it was his car that we came here with. Me, I dint mind going to karaoke or going home to sleep, either way works for me. So there were alot of debate whether to go or not, Thomas and Rio kept persuading them to go but they really dont want to. Brian dint want to go home late cuz his brother will scold and Alex dont like singing. Rio really wanted to because he wants to see Benedact sing... hahahahha. After nearly 20 minutes decideing, sien!, Alex and Brian decided to tag along unwillingly. They said that they are gonna wait in the car or walk around while everyone else is inside singing. -_-! Swt! Anyway, while walking to go get the car in the car park, Rio, nice guy, say he also dont want to go lah so that Alex and Brian can go home. Thomas went with Owen cuz he want to karaoke. I went with Rio they all cuz I wanted to sleep and save some money :D So thats how the night ended. Quite an interesting nite, yet, truthfully, I was actually preety bored and moody the whole nite. :P
