there wasn't a dress code, but somehow, all the girls dressed in black and white!!! (ratna's wearing a black skirt) and either one-piece outfits, or skirts. wow. that's 9 people with the same thinking.
i had caesar salad, duck, fish, chicken, beef, lamb, cake, ice cream, choc fondue. and that fucking piece of lamb jumped on my shirt.
ok group photo. this is when you start to notice there were actually guys there:

ugh horrible horrible picture. look at those red eyes. yuckkk i hate my camera's flash.
and lastly, the birthday girl getting drunk over a glass of
wine lemon soda:

it was around 11.30 pm. didn't feel like going home. so we finally decided to go karaoke. probably for only an hour. i decided to not call my mum to ask. what for? i knew she'd give a straight "no". so i thought i'd wait until
she calls to ask where i was and if i was done. then i can buy some time.
but then.... she had to call even before we reached the karaoke place (happy puppy)..... and so i was prohibited, and she told me to tell her when i arrive. my dad would pick me up.
of course i wouldn't call!!! again, i planned to let her do the calling. go have fun karaoke-ing for a while.
BUT, even before we entered the rented room, the phone rung. what perfect timing. in the end i was only able to stay for one song. mothers have annoying sixth sense abilities.
