It was my Birthday on the 6th. It was a strange but fun experience!for the morning it was a strangely normal day. I woke up and went to class. No presents had arrived, and it was a normal weekday, very un-birthday like. Things sure changed later! While I was voice chatting with Kat her present arrived, it was The Tick on DVD and Megaman ZX for DS (also Anmialc Crossing, but that wasn’t for birthday) Such a great present, that girl knows how to shop for me. That was lovely because I got to open the present while she was on the line.
Later in the day the plan had been for me to take Joel, Nicole and Marc (the 3 other Canadians from Mac) out for dinner, cos I got scholarships, and it was my birthday. We did that. They paid for me and I paid for them, but more people came too! Marc, Joel, Nicole, Hansen, Soojin, James, Patrick, and Natassja all went to the HARD ROCK! cafe for dinner. It’s a good place to get actual western food every once in a while. I had two salmon fillets with steamed broccoli and cauliflower with mashed potatoes, and a REAL MILKSHAKE! It was great. The thing about Hard Rock is they make a big deal of birthdays, they flash the lights and announce your birthday over the whole place’s intercom. They give you a button with your picture on it, and hard rock zodiac sign pin and a free desert! I was also very surprised as people got me presents, I had no idea they were going to! I got some lovely Japanese snacks, a DVD, a pencils of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, big awesome sparkly pink and green letters of “CH” on keychains! It was great fun!
I also received lovely cards from Gramma and Grampa and Aunt Carol and Uncle Malcolm. A busy week full of birthday and a Japanese midterm means I haven’t called them yet, but I will tonight. Mum and Dad’s present cam on Thursday. It was EXACTLY what I wanted, Harvey Birdman DVD and Trauma Center for DS! THey also sent me an awesome, and completely unexpected Nightmare Before Christmas shirt! YAY! All in all it was a very nice birthday. Here’s some pictures:
