My roomie's birthday
The year has come when all the tiger babies will turn twenty-one. It's abit surreal yet amazing watching all my best friends step into adulthood, one by one, when it seemed like just yesterday we were sleeping in makeshift tents in an airconditioned room drawing cartoons of our classmates. Or spending the entire day underneath the desk making up stories with our Barbie dolls when we were supposed to be studying together. And suddenly we're stepping into that era where the next ten years will probably prove to be the fastest, scariest and most eventful of our entire lives.
I've missed a couple of fantastic twenty-first birthday bashes thrown back home while I'm here in Hong Kong, but there's no way I could have missed my darling roomie's. Dinner at Hard Rock, a night at Tribeca after, followed by a huge pizza party with all the exchange students the next night. The ambience at Hard Rock is perfect for parties, they really do up birthdays with their polariod shots, stage celebrations and the entire crew singing you a birthday song with their own band. Not to mention that I had the best burger that I've had so far in Hong Kong there. The huge pizza party didn't come with its almost-mishaps though, we booked the pizzas too late, so there was that half an hour period where we thought no other company delivered pizzas anymore, and we almost had to get snacks from the hall canteen. But thank God we found another pizza company just in time, and the pizza party did materialise after all. (The next day, I found out I had Pizza Hut's number all along in my mobile phone - Qi, don't kill me.)
I hope she had a memorable twenty-first birthday to dispel any homesickness and not spending her birthday back home. I truly enjoyed planning the whole process, it made me feel important enough. Love you. :)
