Happy Birthday, Mrs. Josephine Chiang-Wu!

Wednesday, 18 January 2006

This marks the end of the official Birthday celebration week for me. And I am forever done with alcohol. Kapult. If I ever see another drink again, it would be too soon.

My birthday celebration on Saturday was one of those "birthdays" to remember. I never expected such a turn-out when I was planning my party, but once again, it was one of those special moments that far exceeded my expectations. The evening started out with dinner at Azie. The restaurant is ranked on CitySearch as one of the top dining venues in the country, so I had to go there. The food was good, but the portions were teensy. Would I say that it was worth the money? Well, let's just say that having my birthday there was great, but I wouldn't go there if I was super hungry or if I had to pay. Dinner was special for I got to spend quality time with some of my closest friends...people who I hold dear to my heart. Some of these friends I hadn't seen in years, but in some way or another, we managed to get back in touch in the last few months...and long behold, they all come back into my life again. I felt really "loved" that so many people (15 people in total) made it out to eat with me.

After dinner, we all trekked over to the SupperClub for the festivities. There were some issues with over-capacity, so we all told our friends to show up before 10 PM, to avoid the $10 cover. Being that most of them were Asian, I didn't think a $10 cover would be incentive enough for people to arrive early, but alas, I was wrong. This was the first predominantly Asian party that I have ever witnessed, where the room was near capacity before I arrived at 9:15 PM. That just goes to show that we, Asians, are either cheap OR very time-conscious. Somehow I would place money on the former because the words "on-time" and "Asian" don't mesh very well.

The party was great. If dinner was a nice reunion with good friends, then the party was certainly a "blast from the past!" I would say 80% of the people there for my party were Bruins, and most, I haven't seen since my college days. I don't know where they came from OR how they heard about the party, but it was so very good to see them all. I think it was good for a lot of people there to see old friends again, too.

Of all the people in attendance, I want to give mad "shout-outs" to Sandy and Joe for fighting jet-lag (after having arrived from London earlier that morning), and "partying like it's 1999" with me! You guys are the best, and I was so happy to see your smiling faces! And um, SKO...your ring is quite the "bling-bling." Congratulations, my love! You totally deserve it!

And many, many thanks to all of you who phoned, e-mailed, sent an e-Card, IMed, and text-messaged me on my Birthday! You guys ROCK! I have great friends, who sure know how to make a girl feel special. Woo-Hoo!

5 shots. 2 drinks. On an empty stomache. In less than an hour. 'Nuff said.

I puked twice - once at the bar, and once when I got home. I must have have peed a billion times throughout the evening because all I remember is sitting on the porcelain goddess until the cows came home. Man, the liquid wouldn't stop flowing!!!

I called in "sick" for the first time this morning. My co-worker laughed when she heard my voice, and knew immediately what I was calling about. I went back to bed and only woke up because Dorie called me to check up on me. Apparently, I had drunk called her last night to apologize for not calling her earlier. I called a number of people last night, and cried the entire time! OMG. So embarrassing! I know there are lots of pictures of this drunken stupor because I saw a lot of flashes last night, so you bitches better fess up with them! I want to see!

I remember very little. There were at least 20 people there in the beginning. Oh yes, and there was the pole. I spent quite some time on that pole. Actually, I think I was the only one on that pole all night. OMG. I was waiting for the bartender and waitress to kick me out of the bar, for I was sure that my obnoxiousness wasn't good for business, but you know what they did? They just brought me more drinks. I think I took a shot with the bartender. Yes, yes, I did drink with the bartender. That explains the awful headache this morning. I should've just made out with some random guy, too. That would've capped another good party. I guess there will always be Saturday...except no more alcohol. OMG. 10 ibuprofens later...I need to ly down again.

Happy Birthday to my sister, Maggie, and to Esther on her 27 years of life! Enjoy the good times, ladies!
